Looks like a done deal for Javier Hernandez, depending on the source, transfer fee is in the £13 Million-£16 Million region.

A very decent deal for the Hammers.

Sorry, I was unable to sign up. The site wanted to run about a million scripts. I don't know which one was needed to be unblocked but I don't like using sites that try and run that many scripts on principle.

Paris St-Germain are reportedly ready to pay £196m for Barcelona forward Neymar.

Details:

Sounds like Fake News to me - One hundred and ninety-six million pounds (at current exchange rates 254,702,000.00 USD) for just one footballer?

All depends on the 2 parties

Real Madrid have bought big before and paid in installments over many years

100mil becomes 40mil up front and 20 mil x 3years

The alternative would be over the 3 year period PSG sells players surplus to requirements
to stay within the FFP rules

FFP is pretty easily side stepped if theres collusion between clubs

It's the amount specified in the release clause in his contract, apparently.

One wonders why Clubs allow their young and foolish players to use social media

The latest own goal - cross cultural joking

Chelsea pre-season tour of China

Brazilian kenedy 2 pics on instagram - now deleted

One post was captioned 'Porra China'.
In Portuguese, 'porra' is similar in meaning to the 'F' word.

The other post shows a sleeping Chinese security guard with the caption: 'Acorda china [sic]. Vacilão, which roughly translates as 'wake up China, idiot'.

Kenedy later responded on Instagram, denying any racist intent.

"Hello my friends, just wanna say sorry if someone was sad because I used the expression “porra”, was no racism, just an expression…big hug," the player posted.

Which Premier Club seems to be doing the best trading ?

West Ham are having a good summer window.

Seems Bournemouth and Man City are many fan favourites

Rumblings about Wilshere again, although Wenger boy expects him to fight for a place at Arsenal, probably the treatment table.

Rumours regarding Mbappe, Real Madrid have apparently offered £124 mill, with £37 mill in add ons although Monaco deny any agreed fee, are they talking?

Man city also linked as its believed they might try and gazump the Spanish tax payers.
