I think Aquero to Arsenal for Sanchez is more likely than City selling to Chelsea.

More likely Sky looking to intice people to bet. There are always smoke screens and Chelsea have to sign some striker if they let Costa go.

Seems highly unlikely that City would sell Aquero to a club that finished above them last season.

Is that an actually quote? Is Lukaku going to wear the number 9? Would mean we stil need somebody to wear the numberb10.

Lacazette has had a very good season and does seem to be getting better the last couple of years, but at 26 he should be approaching his peak. If this an addition it's a good move, Lacazette on the wing, if he can play the team will open up space in the middle for Giroud. However, if it is a replacement, maybe not. If Giroud leaves, is Lacazette coming in that much of an upgrade? Lacazette scores more goals in a weaker league, but Giroud adds more assists. Deschamps thinks Giroud is the better player, he plays him over Lacazette all the time for France. Plus if Lacazette is a replacement for Sanchez, there is no way this is an upgrade.

You don't think Jose has Woodward's cell phone number ? City looks like they are building a good team and should challenge for the title, though they have had a better team on paper than their results for a few years now. United has added a CB to a team that couldn't make the top four last year, let's see where things are a month from now. Bit early to see where any of the top teams will finish til the windows over.

I think he could be a replacement for Giroud, who could be off now Lacazette is about to sign. Lacazette does seem to be improving, last season was his best, 37 goals in all competitions. Funny about the price though, Lyon are claiming that they are receiving a few million less than Arsenal claim they are paying. Maybe Wenger trying to impress the fans claiming they are spending big?

Wenger has been after Lacazette for awhile. There was £29m bid rejected by Lyon last year I believe.

France-based football writer & broadcaster, Matt Spiro is saying 15%

It would be disappointing if those 4 are the only additions come the end of August. I have to think there will be a surprise addition or two to that list. As for Perisic, Mourinho likes him. He is a workhorse and a winger that actually keeps his width, every other winger has a tendency to cut in side too much. Plus he is a good crossed of the ball. Perisic maybe good for United, not every signing has to be a household name.
