2017 Football (Soccer) Transfer Window
For those who keep up with the world of football, what are your opinions on the current transfer window? So far it's been open for three weeks now and we've already seen some major signings such as:
Romelu Lukaku (Everton to Manchester United) - £75 million
Alexandre Lacazette (Lyon to Arsenal) - €53 million (£46.5 million)
Leonardo Bonucci (Juventus to AC Milan) - €40 million
Douglas Costa (Bayern Munich to Juventus) - Two-year loan (option to make permanent for €40 million)
James Rodriguez (Real Madrid to Bayern Munich) - Two-year loan (option to make permanent for €35 million)
Dani Alves (Juventus to PSG) - Free
Alvaro Morata (Real Madrid to Chelsea) - £58 million
Theo Hernandez (Atletico Madrid to Real Madrid) - €30 million
Bernardo Silva (AS Monaco to Manchester City) - €50 million (£43.5 million)
Wayne Rooney (Manchester United to Everton) - Free
Mohamed Salah (Roma to Liverpool) - €42 million
Kyle Walker (Spurs to Manchester City)- €51 million
Antonio Rudiger (Roma to Chelsea) - £29 million
Tiemoue Bakayoko (AS Monaco to Chelsea) - £40 million
Many of the top clubs in Europe have been strengthening heavily for the upcoming 2017/2018 season and there are no signs of stopping. Genuinely have been surprised at certain transfers such as Bonucci to Juventus, James to Bayern, and Morata to Chelsea. Another thing to mention is the prices that many of these clubs are valuing their players at. The current market is ridiculous for example, 18-year old M'Bappe is reportedly valued at £125 million? What kind of bs is that? It seems that nowadays the majority of clubs cannot compete with the select few that have enough money to buy the best players. It's almost as if a top 1% has formed within European football (Real Madrid, Barcelona, Bayern Munich, Juventus, PSG, Manchester United, Manchester City, etc.) What do you all think of many of the current signings so far? Any players that you specifically want to join your favorite club? What do you think are the most ridiculous rumors so far? Feel free to comment on those that you find most interesting.

UPDATE: As of today, Aug 2nd, Barcelona has confirmed Neymar wants to leave the club and that he has said his goodbye to his teammates ahead of a reported move to PSG. Thoughts on this?
Solanke was a tidy signing for Liverpool
His goal the other day against Palace was quite nice
Fucking Liverpool need to get Aubameyang, Naby Keita, and a solid outside back and we win the league. So far, we've done none of that. I am weeping inside right now
Ah, another LFC fan, nice!
Tears in my eyes, you guys are LFC fans. I feel so sorry for you.
This looks to be the most anticipated and competitive season in years.
Don't say that bro chill I can dream
Auba isn't happening, Dortmund already ruled him out moving this window. Keita anything can happen. imo to get him you will have to bid an insane amount to even get him.
I think the likelihood of getting Keita AND Van Dijk is extremely low. From a pure need standpoint, I hope we get VVD... I think he'd be more critical to Liverpool's success than getting Keita. I haven't seen Robertson in Premier League action, but trusting in Klopp.
Tolisso missing
I think I accidentally deleted him because I remember typing him in.
Hernandez to West Ham from Bayer soon
Hopefully Arsenal can field a better squad from last year. Arsene has finally seem to come out of his comfort zone as a manager and get someone who can immediately make our team better.
As far as the Premier League goes, I am an Arsenal fan. Lacazette signing is massive. However I do think we need to strengthen in the defensive midfielder area (Coq isn't all that great, bang average at best). We need another wide man as well, Ox/Walcott aren't cutting it. If we sign Mahrez or Lemar that would be perfect.

Soccer.........this is the best we have to talk about.... SMH
Soccer is the world's best sport idk what you're talking about and (as stated in the edit) it automatically changed it from the symbol I put in to that)
