  "I want to thank the owner, David Sullivan, because he made a big effort to bring me here. I know how difficult it was, so I have to thank him a lot, and I hope I can repay his faith in me on the pitch with goals and winning games."

  I know nothing about him, but if he's who the gaffer wants, then fair play.
  Welcome.

  Excited by this, welcome Felipe.
  More than fair play to owners, so far this transfer window.
  Closes 9th August this year I believe...

  Wow.
  
  Really believed he was this years Bacca/Lacazette/Carvalho, so a big well done to Sullivan for this one.
  
  It's a shame Lanzini got injured because him, Anderson and Yarmolenko playing behind Arnie would have been the stuff of dreams. Hopefully we'll see that in the new year.

  Good luck. Hopefully he adjusts & does that business. For that sought of fee I would hope so. Don't know much about him but I suppose he has performed for Lazio for a few seasons so not a complete risk. Hopefully he turns into this years Payet (minus the strop after a year).

  Agree, although I would worry whether the midfield would be strong enough to protect the back five with those four running riot.

  Ex has suggested we're still after another DM. Although he has said it'll be frees and loans from here on in.
  
  A couple of names have been bandied around on social media that fit that bill, namely Drinkwater and Ramires, and I think Rice and one of those two sitting in front of Diop and Ogbonna should give us decent cover for the Four Horseman to do their damage.

  for once its 7-10 signings instead of 7-10 days! Very happy with Felipe's arrival!
  
  He's a player I'd like to alter my fantasy team for... ;whistle

  BBC report it's £36m, potentially rising to £41.5m.

  Is that the 3rd year in a row we have set a new transfer record?

  Maybe, but it's as much to do with TV money fuelled inflation as anything else.

  Looking on that list 13 of the 20 clubs last year broke their transfer record in te summer or winter window of last year
  
  But its true, 3 years in a row its been broken

  4. He’s a very versatile player
  
  His ability to run with the ball isn’t restricted to one position. He featured largely on the left wing at the start of his career with Lazio, but has since played on the right, as a second striker and even as a central forward, from where he scored on his last Lazio appearance – against Internazionale in May.

  The Observer has an opinion piece on him. Nothing earth-shattering in it.

  Both articles obviously based on the same interview, as they use some of the same quotes.

  ;wahoo

  Kouyate always likely to be the one to go, IMO.
  
  Frees up the No8 shirt for Anderson (he's worn No28 in pre-season, much like Arnie did with No27 last summer before moving to No7 when Feghouli left)

  ;wahoo
