More details on the Cuadrado deal. It's a 3-year loan, Juve with the option to buy for 25m euros and have to pay Chelsea 5m euros per season for duration of loan.

That would almost certainly have to the record spent on a player from the Championship. He's not even young so we will almost certainly have to end up eating the entire 30 million. We've already overpaid for a similar kind of player so I really hope this doesn't go through.
Everton would be better place to print off 30 million pounds worth of "missing midfielder" posters for mid season
Chelsea blogger was tweeting that for all intents and purposes it's a sale. Only has 3 years left on contract. Was structured this way to help one of the teams with FFP (apparently that's still a thing) or to give juve the ability to drag out the fee in installments for their bookkeeping purposes.
27 actually. I would much prefer spending that money on a second striker or a central midfielder. Juve ended up getting Witsel who is someone I've wanted since the beginning of the window. We've got some CM's that probably need to be shipped out like Gibson and Cleverley.
Michael Gooner @MickTheGooner Bournemouth will pay Arsenal £2m to loan Jack Wilshere this season. They're also going to pay his £80,000-a-week wages in full. nice.
Everton making waves. Sissoko en route for medical ahead of move and they are trying to get Enner Valencia on a loan from West Ham
In early summer £30m gets you Eric Bailly or N'Golo Kante. On deadline day £30m gets you David Luiz or Moussa Sissoko.
So only 1 more window before Berahino leaves WBA for free? Truly amazing how bad they've fucked this up.
Still think Sissoko is pretty damn good. Is 30m too high? Of course. He was hands down one of the best players on the pitch during the Euro final though. Weird situation when a championship team gets 30m for a player. I wonder how Newcastle will squander it.
Squander? We just turned 15 mil of midfielders who got us relegated into 55mil And Sissoko has loads of talent, he's just the definition of inconsistent
Maybe I'm wrong but Sissoko seems like he's better vs the stronger sides because of his athleticism and the open space and struggles in the slower games because he's not all that skilled. 30 mil isn't that ridiculous but he's not gonna make Everton much better, neither will Bolasie.
I meant making money off flipping personnnel does not equal reinvesting it wisely, something in which Mike Ashley has a shit track record. Not trying to talk smack.
You're right, but everything has changed now with Rafa. He has all control of transfers where before it was a weak ass committee. I'm a big fan of our summer moves.
Having four viable options on the wings will be a luxury we aren't used to having. It wasn't all that long ago that we'd have to trot out Naismith, McGeady or Osman as wide players. Sometimes even Cleverley out of position
Enner Valencia is supposedly joining Everton for a season loan. Upgrade on Arouna Kone so I'm pleased.
David Luiz hate I will never understand. He's a quality defender and 30 is absolutely a fair price for him. But I guess it's easier to cherry pick his few lapses each season.
It's not official I don't think. He should play. CBs will be Kone and then Papi/Denayer. Also Kone will likely miss time in Jan for the ACON
