Well, this has been a most unexpected summer.
The biggest moves are behind the scenes
Manuel Pellegrini takes over as manager.
Mario Husillos who Pellegrini worked with at Malaga came in as Sporting director.
OUTS:
Joe Hart- End of Loan
Joao Mario- End of Loan
James Collins- Contract allowed to expire
Patrice Evra- Contract allowed to expire
Reece Burke- sold to Hull for ~1.5M
IN
Ryan Fredricks on a free from Fulham
Jack Wilshire on a free from Arsenal
Lukasz Fabianski- 7M from Swansea
Issa Diop- 22M from Toulouse
Andriy Yarmolenko- 17M from Dortmund
Rumors:
Felipe Anderson allegedly had a medical today before a 40M move from Lazio
Fabian Balbuena medical (confirmed deal on instagram as did Corinthians) 4M from Corinthians
Meeting in London with Bernard and his agent he's a free agent after running down his contract at Shaktar.
Injuries:
Lanzini out until at least January with an ACL tear
Carroll- ankle cleanup/stabilization- estimated October return
Reid- Knee cleanup- estimated October return.
The general theme of the window has been a completely shocking high level of investment from the normally penny pinching dildo brothers.
Some speculation that one of the forces driving investment is Tripp Smith's recent acquisition of the 10% not owned by the Brothers Dildo. Some wonder if there is a deal in place for Smith to be offered first chance at Gold's shares (30.6%) when he dies or before with the intention of possibly buying some of Sullivan's shares (55.6%) to become majority owner. No real evidence, but interesting.
