Nice. I've always liked Marco Silva.

Never heard of Marco Silva....

Up and coming manager in European football. Done some stuff in smaller leagues like Portugal, Turkey and Greece. Was brought in to Hull City in January to try and save their Premier League run but it was too little too late. So now he's going to helm Watford.

Griezmann to United, that's a career killer.

It's one of those moves, if it happens that will either turn out amazing or a flop. I don't feel like there's much of a in between due to expectations

Good signing by City but not exactly what they needed. They already have plenty of attacking options, getting quality defenders should be the top priority.

I hear Rooney might be leaving, anyone know where he's headed? Possible destinations that is.

I'd say China or MLS.

Manchester United has come to terms with Benfica over the transfer of Swedish central defender Victor Nilsson - Lindelöf barring a medical and personal terms. VNL is one of Sweden's rising stars and at age 22 is a given in the central defense of the Swedish national team. He recently won the Portugese league and is a European u-21 champion and has CL experience.

Rumors have it he is now the most expensive Swedish defender in football history.

Ronaldo has had a tantrum, says he wants to leave (Cristiano Ronaldo 'wants to leave' Real Madrid after being accused of tax fraud .)

Bolton aren't interested at the moment (could be a bluff however)

Sailsbury are being sneaky also


Sporting are borderline tapping up

Where CR7 ends up (if he actually leaves) will be very interesting.

Spurs are having a VERY interesting silly on the rumor front. No deals are done yet but Poch is keen on having his major purchases in squad before the second week of July so they get as much pre-season as possible. But he and Levy also want to sort out the future for Sissoko, Wimmer, N'Jie and possibly Walker (who doesn't want to leave in his own words, despite what magazines say) before they start spending.

Rumored purchases are Ricardo Pereira, Michael Ginker, Genghis Ünder and even Lazio's Keita Baldé, who journalists claimed turned down a spurs deal after Lazio accepted a bid. But that was debunked by his agent today who said "we cannot turn down a offer that we haven't seen or received"
