Stoke just signed Martins-Indi for £7m, that's a damn good defence they have now

Not sure how it works though, will he play LB? Shawcross, Zouma and him. But they have no good right-back so maybe another 3 man defence team.

£7m. A good business. Ain't we in for a back-up CB who can play LB? Rather have him than a crock Belgian who plays about 20 games in 3 years and is about to turn 32.

He can "do a job" at LB. Not a neutral LB though.

Stoke supporting mate seems to reckon they'll go with 3, they need some depth but for me that's one hell of a defence

Really surprised Koeman is not in for him, Indi played for him in Holland right? £7m is peanuts these days. He would have been an adequate back-up.

I agree, £7m for anyone who looked decent in the prem is a bargain these days

Allegedly we are close to signing Davinson Sanchez for £35m. He looked good in the Europa final vs Man U but that's all i know about him apart from he is Colombian.

He gets up the line well

Jese to Stoke on loan looking likely, either Stoke have pulled off a blinder there or he's really not as good as I thought.

Don't think it's a blinder mate. I think we will find stoke is his level.

Real don't rate him. Looks like PSG don't rate him.

i've thought this when they've signed shaqiri, bojan, affelay and bony and all have turned out to be a bit crap there. They're attracting a host of very very good players under hughes, but he's just such a turgid manager that they all don't do anything there. Think they have a very strong squad on paper myself, but every season they don't seem to do anything.

I mean berahino looked a real talent at west brom ... he still hasn't even scored for stoke yet!

barca buyng paulinho for £36m from china. Errmmm, what exactly are they doing this summer? Is £36m for a player from china really necessary? I quite liked paulinho, but that doesn't mean he's great. I thought them offering monster fees for a player who's nowhere near their calibre in coutinho was bizzare, but this, along with buying a player who couldn't even get on our bench and selling one of their starting XI players in neymar.

What's going on there?

The reaction of some Stoke fans over the news Joselu is on his way to the mags :blush:

apparently Bartomeus company which is involved in something related to shipping, has just won a major contract in relation to the Guangzhou port. The head of the ports authority is also president of Guangzhou Evergrande.

Some context for why a player who went for a relatively low 15m to the hugely overspending Chinese league, is now unexpectedly returning to Europe at an inflated price.

Football stinks in general, but christ these guys guzzling at the trough at Barça are up there with the worst. I know some fans who would accept an absolutely atrocious season if it mean change would be forced.
