Summer Transfer Misery and Recriminations.

NQ is right.

Interpol, UEFA, FIFA, The FA, The PL ........... whoever, need to investigate this. Shady as hell.

Either to circumvent FFP or other more nefarious purposes (laundering dirty Russian drug money?).

That's not going to fool the police.

According to Ornstein Bournemouth are favourite to get Jack.

Apparently we won't do business with Roma after they fobbed us off earlier the summer for Manloas and Palace have turned their attention elsewhere.

Someone remind me what happened with Manolas?

[Marc Overmars]

Wheelchair off to Bournemouth to complete his move.

Chelsea to sign Marcos Alonso for 23m. Whoever that is.

Well it wasn't really reported heavily at the time (though there were the standard rumours around) but the implication from Ornstein is that we seemed to have made a legitimate inquiry for Manolas earlier in the summer as our CB option and somewhere in that process the relationship between us and Roma broke down (maybe they insulted Dick Law/Wenger/Gazidis), which is probably why we turned towards Mustafi.

Bournemouth

Good club with a talented young manager who tries to play progressive football and not the shitball hoof tactics of a Pulis or a Hughes. Almost guaranteed starts as well provided he stays fit.

Great move for Jack all things considered.

[Goonermerree]

Unbelievable really, Hart to a team we've barely heard of and Jack to Bournemouth! How things change.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Well the key difference is the reason that Head & Shoulders has been forced out is because he's been shit and a liability whereas for Jack it's more to regain his fitness and establish himself again and not because the manager doesn't rate his talent.
