And the manager of Shanghai SIPG? Sven G-E who just pruchased Hulk for £46m!!
The man who makes Pelle look as quick as Mane. 
Pelle’s value might have just dropped again after that pen… Crumbs

Im astonished by his penalty. I think it has to be one of the worst I’ve ever seen.

Harsh - It was bad, but it wasn’t even the worst tonight.
But after going on about his value, it saddened me to see him take the sort of penalty you’d expect from a £9m striker.
and nobody who knew anything about Pelle was surprised.

If reports are to be believed, Man Utd ready to offer 100m for Pogba, and pay him 250k a week. All this on a player they let go for free a few years ago. Hard to compete with such savvy business models as this eh?

That young fullback Freeman we’ve signed from Dundee Utd seemed to go under the radar, didn’t even see anything about it on the official site. Sounds like a good future prospect.

# SaintsFC’s Dušan Tadić, @ MayaYoshida3, @ VirgilvDijk and @ CucoMartina all reported back for pre-season today:
Apparently ourselves, Everton, West Ham and Leicester have all been after CSKA Moscow striker Ahmed Musa but he has decided to go to Leicester. Fee £16.6m. Interesting that Everton were allegedly interested too!

looks good. Still think that Berahino is good value and if correct around half this price
and now James Tomkins has joined palace from.west ham for £10m. Yes, james Tomkins. That’s the market. Utter bullshit.
Is james tomkins no good? I’ve got a lot of time for him. I dunno if he’s much good at football, but he looks like he should be. I’d have him here. Gd hair.

Looks like Berahino would cost about £20m though (Stoke & Watford also interested driving it up) - so about £5m less than Boufal
I’m not saying he’s no good’ I’m providing more evidence for BTripz that £13/14m for Andros Townsend is not expensive but just the going rate. I have nothing against Tomkins, he is merely being used to show what £10m gets you nowadays.
Norwich have replaced Redmond with some 19 year old from Liverpool that I’ve never heard of. He played last season on loan at Brentford. £2.5m.

Plus they play in different positions. It wouldn’t be an either or with signing those two.
