There goes the 2015 calendar sales as well

With Velios gone, we needed a new handsome Greek to put in September. What of the month of September now?!?!?!

Think it will be replaced by a brooding Bosnian or a beaming Belgian. i'll miss the gorgeous Greeks though.

Oh God, you can't put Besic on the calendar

Seems like a good footballer, but he's hardly a looker

Before everyone directs this at moir. I should point out that I ain't much of a looker either so nor should I be on the calendar

Imagine walking into the kitchen every morning in February to see Muhammed Besic stareing at you with a look as if to say "Anyone seen that horses head? I need to stick it in bookie's bed but I've only gone and lost it"

As for Senderos, the much-maligned Switzerland international is, to put it kindly, a strange addition to a defence that has conceded 130 league goals in the last two seasons. To put it unkindly, Senderos’s arrival is a symbol of just how far Villa have fallen. Perhaps we should reserve judgment until he has had a run of games.

Ouch

Say what you want about the Guardian, but they'll call a spade a spade

Marketing and raising profile mate.

Real Madrid seem to prefer to sign "fashionable" players, the ones that have performed well recently, seemingly without concern as to the cost or which of their other players it displaces. They sold lots of James Rodriguez shirts within hours of his purchase so I suppose they make it up by marketing.

Will be interesting to see where Angel di Maria ends up.

Yeah, wish we would take a leaf out of their book - in Howard we have a similar player to Navas already on our books and seem to have done little to take advantage of it.

i'd be close to depression if i was a sunderland fan.

few years in a row now they've been spunking way too much money on average players which are worth about £4-5m. what has convinced them to spend £10m on rodwell!

hope this means they can't get borini now.

Atlético, the La Liga winners and Champions League runners-up, are looking to rebuild their squad after losing Diego Costa and Filipe Luís to Chelsea. Defender Javier Manquillo is also poised to join Liverpool and the manager, Diego Simeone, wants Kagawa and Hernández in a deal which would total in excess of £25m.

Is Kagawa a good player?
I'm unconvinced.

He was absolute quality in Germany. I think he just had a difficult time at Man U. Couldn't get a run of games in his proper position as he had Rooney ahead of him and then there was the whole Moyes debacle. A move would probably do him good.

Rodwell comfirmed for sland good luck to the lad

He was also good in Man Utd's Champions League games last season. Not that they played very well as a team but he as an individual was one of the better performers.

Great work from Malaga. Sell Willy for £6m, sign Guillermo Ochoa for free.

Willy Caballero is a belter of a goalkeeper. I can't believe he's gone to City, to play second fiddle. I can't believe he wasn't in Argentina's world cup squad. He saved us from murky depths of Segunda with Bernd Schuster last season. Lets hope that it was just Ajaccio being poor, and not Ochoa, and he proves to be a good signing.

This window doesn't feel like it has gotten goin. I think it's because there was a bit of business done before the WC then that was a distraction and since it's concluded there have only been sporadic transfers of note.

How is this summer comparing in terms of cash spent to last summer?(which was the record wasn't it?) PL only.
