That's a ****ing great signing for Palace. Will be going straight into my fantasy football team. As for Begovic, pure pay day.

If true.....
The two clubs opened talks on Thursday with the Turks hopeful of negotiating a £4.7million fee after agreeing personal terms of a £240,000-a-week with Van Persie for a three-year contract - with the option of a 12-month extension.
United still have to agree a pay-off with Van Persie for the final year of his contract at Old Trafford.

However, Schweinsteiger's impending arrival at Old Trafford will not end manager Louis van Gaal's pursuit of Southampton's 25-year-old France midfielder Morgan Schneiderlin. (Manchester Evening News)

It's been a strange old transfer window this summer.

Gerrard and Johnson leaving us after years of service. Sterling getting his move to City.
Cech to Arsenal.
Xabi and Casillas leaving Barcelona and Madrid respectively.
Schweinsteiger joining United with Van Persie ****ing off.
Pirlo and Lampard joining the MLS.
Ferdinand retiring.
Tevez going home.

Some huge names on the move.

When you list it like that there has been a lot happening already and it's still relatively early days for the transfer window

Casillas leaving hopefully opens it up for De Gea to step in.

Southampton agreed a fee for Jordy Clasie (£8m apparently) - v good player and more than good enough for us. They do seem to pick up good players cheaply.

[danperkins]

Clasie is a good player, they really do some great business. Scouts certainly do earn their wages. Next season Clasie, Ward Prowse, Mane, Wanyama & Rodriguez will all probably go for big money.

[baitman]

we should hang on to the sterling money and spend it all on clasie next year, its how we roll.
he was getting a few mentions on here a couple/few years ago [options covered there, pedants]

Clasie is a good player, they really do some great business. Scouts certainly do earn their wages. Next season Clasie, Ward Prowse, Mane, Wanyama & Rodriguez will all probably go for big money.

I don't even think you need great scouts to see Clasie is a good player. He starts for the dutch national team and isn't really an under the radar type of player. He is everything that I hoped Joe Allen would be and would be a big upgrade on him.
