Alan McGregor -  Besiktas to Hull after one season in Turkey he can test himself in the Premier League, was good across the boarder and will be busy this season as Hull still have a weak defence. Jesus Navas Sevilla to Man City this nippy winger will add a new dimension to City’s attack, now fully over his homesickness issues in his younger day’s English football could suit the Spanish international. Victor Wanyama Celtic to Southampton one of the deals of the summer so far, I feel he could have gone to a higher Premier League side but maybe they didn't want to gamble on a SPL star just yet, he should do the business for the Saints though. Emanuele Giaccherini Juventus to Sunderland the Black Cats are looking to have a revamp of their squad. Di Canio made it clear what he wants from his side & the signing of this man from Italy could be one of the better ones. QPR After the trip to Austria with two games under the belt, one win and one d...

The transfer window hasn't quite hit full pace yet with some of the big four waiting for the other to blink first and with the striker merry-go round lurking round the corner, some are waiting for the right man to pop up or if they might already have the right man at the club already. Some of the deals so far that catch my eye are: Andreas Cornelius - Copenhagen to Cardiff, smashing their transfer record for a 20 year-old is a gamble for the Premier League new boys. Andre Schurrle - Bayer Leverkusen to Chelsea fresh off the German production line, he is Jose first major signing upon his return. Dwight Gayle - Peterborough to Palace £8.5 million shelled out on a man who has not played top flight football with no Zaha & Murray he will have to hit the ground running. Simon Mignolet - Sunderland to Liverpool he had a very good season in a average Sunderland side the Belgium will want to play game in a World Cup year and I think Reina's replacement. Fer...

What a surprise Chris Samba is heading back to Russia after he said that money is not everything. Well he was half fit, not really interested in the fight and just collected his £100k for 6 months. He didn't appear towards the end of the season which speaks volumes of where his head was at. However the fact Anhzi are stupid enough to pay the £12m back to QPR is pretty good business from the owners at Loftus Road. The singing of Danny Simpson shows QPR might just be taking it seriously in getting promoted right away. He is a reliable defender, will work hard and is under 30 years-old which is a rare thing for a QPR signing. He is probably getting decent cash though. They have weeded out some of the cling-ons in the squad but there's a long way to go still.   Bringing Steve McClaren back into football as a coach on a short term deal concerns me. Now it's interesting that QPR would get a manager who is actively looking for work, added the fact Redknapp could sound off and le...
