Everton have left themselves with one striker for the season after Balogun managed to screw over both them and Monaco by changing his mind at the last second.
Monaco have been left with financial commitments they can't fulfil too.

Ouch.

Ouch.

It was initially reported that he failed the medical in Everton, but I guess this is more recent and more accurate information. What a weird transfer deadline move.

He 'failed' the medical, and then Everton used that to renegotiate the deal with Monaco to get some money off the price. Everton and Monaco had agreed a new deal despite the failed medical (I mean he played 50 matches last season so I don't know how badly he could possibly have failed a medical anyway), but then the player refused to sign and went home instead at about 5 minutes before the deadline.

Overall, Everton's roster is looking incredibly thin. It's not like they've got great coverage on full backs either and even the midfield looks pretty suspect once the midseason grind kicks in.

What are they going to do for the striker position? Grealish as false 9?

Haha nice one :D

I dont think he is worth 150 milions but at the same time, there are so many overpaid players in that league that I dont think it matters a lot. Would be great if he can perform on a high level and get his attitude in a better shape.

I hope he can handle being booed by the entire football league fanbase for the next year or so after Argentina's World Cup antics.

This seasons transfers seem even more bonkers than last seasons.
And then, just today I saw a list of teamless players and holy cow that is a midtable PL team right there:
David Alaba
Jadon Sancho
Sergio Ramos
Karim Benzema
Dani Carvajal
Philippe Coutinho
Paul Pogba
Mahmoud Dahoud,
Raphael Guerreiro,
Mauro Icardi,
Riyad Mahrez,
Anthony Martial,
Pedro,
Renato Sanches,
Oleksandr Sintschenko,
Raheem Sterling
Georginio Wijnaldum

How dare you.

Also ISAK HAS ARRIVED! Finally we started feeding him on the break instead of slowing down. Iraola ball is definitely here. Barcola also looked class in just his 2 touches, there's that aura around him whenever the ball comes to him.

SV Elversberg are newly promoted to the Bundesliga, joint top after 2 games having knocked off Leverkusen and Gladbach. Pretty cool start

While newly promoted Schalke stole a point from Bayern. Maybe we'll get an interesting season of Bundesliga for a change
