Transfer Update - Current Transfers
So here they are... the people I have brought in to hopefully help us have another great season!

5 main players left over the season which means there were a fair few holes to fill, therefore 8 players have been brought in!
Lets start at the very back shall we!
GK:
I saw this guy and wanted to bring him in straight away, Ter Stegen is still my first choice, but Baumann will be leaving as soon as possible with this new guy becoming my main back up.

Jeronimo Rulli
View attachment 396762
An excellent young goalkeeper who still has room to grow! He will first of all be back up to ter Stegen but you never know, if he performs well he may be able to push and I could end up having to constantly rotate the 2!
RB:
Now with Debuchy leaving last January I spent the back end up last season with just Mayke, so I made sure I brought in a capable RB to back up and also challenge Mayke (who has had a lot of interest in him with bids of 20+ Million from clubs such as Bayern and Barcelona! All rejected of course!)

Gino Peruzzi

2nd Argentinian to join our ranks this summer as we bring Peruzzi in for just 7.5 Million. I already have great confidence he will be good for us and will be a player who can challenge Mayke!
LB:
No one brought in as perfectly happy with Santon and Shaw!
CB:
With Yanga-Mbiwa leaving for a wopping 31 Million, I thought it would be a good idea to bring someone else in! 2 great young players come in to challenge for those 2 first choices!

Thiago Casasola | Jonathan Tah
View attachment 396754 View attachment 396753
Of course you already knew about Casasola as his deal was tied up in January, but the other newcomer is Tah, a big German powerhouse who I believe was an absolute bargain at 6.75 Million! Can see Tah challenging for a first choice but I think Casasola may leave on loan for this season.
CM:
As Anita was sold and Thorne left on loan, this left my quite short handed in the middle of the park, so I brought in a player who I think will be excellent now, and for many years to come!

Nabil Bentaleb
View attachment 396749
At just 21 I think he is already a fantastic player which is why I paid 22.5 Million for him. He will definitely be a main choice for me this season but with already having Romero and Kovacic, he has a lot to do to prove he deserves it!
AMR:
In the end I decided Salah just wasn't up to my standard anymore and thought it would be a good idea to bring someone in who is good now but also has a lot of room to grow and develop... step up...

Alen Halilovic
View attachment 396744
An absolutely class young winger who I can definitely see challenging Ben Arfa for first choice, especially with Ben Arfa into his 30's now, Halilovic is definitely the future right winger for this team.
AMC:
Thought Barkley was exceptional last season but thought it would be a good idea to bring someone in who can provide back up but also challenge him for first choice... in came...

Ravel Morrison
View attachment 396740
Another class young English midfielder is brought in, and he is definitely capable of challenging Barkley! Had to fight the likes of Man Utd and Man City to sign him, but he chose us and I am glad he did!
AML:
Perfectly happy with Gauld and Sterling here, definitely will not need to sign someone in this position for a while to come!
ST:
Well with Borini leaving for a whopping 26 Million, 23.5 Million profit! This left us short handed with just Welbeck as Vydra has gone out on loan again, and when I saw how good this young man already is and the potential he has... I just had to have him!

Richairo Zivkovic
View attachment 396734
Even though they got 30 Million for him, I believe Bayern have made a big mistake in letting him go to us as he is already a very good player and will most likely be my 2nd choice behind Volland (Welbeck 3rd) but he also has the potential in my opinion to become one of the best in the world! Really cant wait to see him play!
------------------------------
Summary
So overall I am very happy with my transfer dealings, especially with the how cheap I got the likes of Tah, Peruzzi and Halilovic, all of who have the ability to be great players, but also how much I managed to get for the likes of Anita, Borini and Yanga-Mbiwa, all of who were becoming back up choices!
------------------------------
Next Update
So up next will be the update regarding the younger players for the future that have come in, including ones that have been loaned straight out as well!
