Real Betis are close to agreeing a deal with Manchester City to sign 30-year-old Nolito. BBC Sport @BBCSport Signed for £13.8m Sold for £3.4m?
If we didn't have the Allan's there would be a lot of reasons to be positive. We get just short of £50m from parachute payments. We should see £15m for Maguire, £10m for Robertson and £10m for Clucas. We should also see a fair chunk for Tom, Abel, Elmo and Eldin if they leave too. Our wage bill will be non existent as we have no one left. We're a real blank canvas, it's the time for us to start again. We just need a top manager at the helm.
Newcastle United are expected to complete the permanent signing of winger Christian Atsu from Chelsea for £6.2m.
Cant see him signing while there's a chance they wont be in the UCL next season. If he does, I think he'll be a ****e signing for them. Not what they need at all.
Not likely to be any movement with us until the Marco situation is finalised, but I'll start one if anything happens.
If we started the City transfer rumours one now, we could run a sweepstake on how many pagesof rumours before we actually sign anyone. If Marco leaves, I'll predict 325. If he stays, hopefully rather less!

MS will let them know this week. We will probably find out in August when we have another team photo of 9 players.
