I wonder how much stock clubs put into major tournaments and signing players.

James Rodriguez to madrid after the world cup is a fairly clear case of that.

Gilberto Silva went to Arsenal on the back of the 2002 World Cup, and Man Utd got Kleberson in similar circumstances. Funnily enough, the latter was more highly regarded at the time

Liverpool signed El Hadji Diouf after WC 2002 but we'll not talk about that

Hopefully the newest Senegalese arrival will prove to be just as effective as his predecessors!

Diouf was signed as he was the star of the Lens team challenging for the League

This was completed well in advance of the world cup

Interest peaked in Diouf after the 2002 African Cup of Nations where he, and Senegal played brilliantly on their way to the final.

Nicolas NKoulou moves from Marseille to Lyon on a free transfer. Had been linked with a few PL sides iir.

Newcastle spunking £25 million on Matt Ritchie and Dwight Gayle.

Absolute farce these parachute payments

The PL is a rich man's party - even the guests who are f*cked out get a goodie bag at the door - every other sap is looking in the window in the pouring rain.

Nuts really isn't it. These lads would have been 4-6 million 10 years ago.

€30 million. Believe he is highly rated enough and expected to start against Iceland on Sunday too.

Honestly if I had to pick between him and lets say Sakho it would be difficult

I think hes a bit over rated

Barcelona and Liverpool are probably looking for different things from a centre back though.

Id agree

He is better with the ball at his feet

But I think a poorer defender over all

Always thought he played on the (left)wing.... Well, only remember him from 1 EL match against Spurs where he was. And scored.

City have signed Aaron Mooy from their affiliate club Melbourne City, he's a creative midfielder, very comfortable on the ball and has an eye for goal, will be interesting to see if he can make the grade. I'd liken him to a more creative Lampard with less goals in him.

Hulk confirmed Shanghai SIPG for about €41m, has one player generated more money for doing less?

It'll be interesting to see if he can make the grade. Of what I've seen in my time in Australia he won't

No he left them, there was an article on BBC Sport which was basically a "have tools, will work", weren't some Celtic fans terrified they'd be lumped with him?

I'd say it's just a signing to try and boost City's popularity in Australia. I can't imagine he'll get much playing time.

Well, if Watford is under the impression the 2 of them kept them in the Premier league last year, they actually are worth more...

But 68 million for those 2 is moronic money indeed.
