Not sure how legit this bloke is, but is saying Bacca has agreed a deal with us:

Aside from whether or not Bacca is signing, a quick glance at Twitter is quite a scary eye-opener into how society works in the social networking age. Basically one person gets in first in reaction to a photo that's been posted on Instagram and interprets it to mean a certain thing and then hundreds of others latch on to that and assume it's true, quoting it as a source, creating articles with photos and headlines all based around that unverified interpretation.

Unless I'm much mistaken (there's a very high possibility of this) the only thing of any substance that's happened in the last 24 hours is Jack saying Bacca will decide in the next 48 hours. As far as I can tell the rest is all just made up nonsense.

I hope I'm wrong though and that all these little things add up to him signing. :)

I like the idea of Bacca as a target man, with Icardi and Adrian Mutu playing just off him.

Then we could have Bacca Icardi and coke.

Other transfer news - Sissoko is rated at £35m by Newcastle! And, get this, clubs are willing to pay that much! Juventus and Everton, specifically. If Sissoko is worth that much, how much would you think we could expect for Kouyate who, by comparison, at least shows up and looks interested for every match?

This on top of Paul Pogba poised to become one of the top 50 most valuable clubs in the world on his own.

I think it might finally be time to take this transfer window's keys away and call it a taxi.

This is one I haven't seen mentioned on here. Alen Halilović gone from Barca to Hamburg for €5million. I would have loved him here.

Milantv have an important announcement coming up re Bacca https://twitter.com/MilanTV/status/756081527939801088

Sissoko transfer fee will have been bumped up by his displays at the euros.

He's not worth that money as he shown at Newcastle that he is nowhere near consistent enough - same applies for Kouyate

AH to Hamburg seems very cheap. Must be a buy-back clause I imagine. If he starts doing the business in the Bundesliga Barce will bring him back.
