Penny for the thoughts of Phil Jagielka...

For people dipping in and out of this thread a couple of times a day, like me, the mood swings are hilarious. We've gone from top 4 to struggling in the space of a few hours.

I was under the impression that swap deals have associated transfer values to avoid this kind of thing.

Kean is a great signing, done in the right way. Feels a bit like the Deulofeu deal, but slightly bigger of course. It’s almost like a multi-year loan but with us locking in a fixed potential upside.

Totally missing the point. It’s not about their attractiveness, it’s about *how* they operate. City’s operation is the gold standard and it’s not because most players in the world want to go there or because they can afford them. It’s because they have smart people all over the club running it...

If it has to be the last day of the window, so be it. We are buying someone for the next few seasons, not just so we can marginally increase our chances of beating Palace and Watford.

This is what's great about the transfer window. It allows you to imagine a world where Juventus signing Lukaku allows us to get Moise Kean. If that happened I would have to start going to church.
