Lots of transfer action in the past 24 hours.
Paul Pogba has officially returned to Man United for a record fee of £89m. The fee is a lot however United have the money so spend it. When he left United he wasn't the player he is today. Would he have developed like he has under Moyes and LVG? I'm not so sure. Getting Zlatan on a free was a great move as the merchandise sales from that alone will have already helped pay for this.
John Stones has moved to Man City for £47.5m which makes him the second most expensive defender in history. I've always said with Stones he needs the right coaching. It is well known with Martinez that he can't set up a defence so Stones wasn't going to develop. At City I think he will and will become a top defender, however for nearly £50m he should already be that so Everton have done well there.
And finally, Ashley Williams has joined Everton (or is about to) as a direct replacement for Stones for around £12m. Short-term that is great business by Everton as Williams has proved himself in the EPL and at the Euros. However, they'll need to look further ahead as Williams is already 31.

I think Barnsley fans will be happier than City fans after the Stones transfer, they're getting either 15%-20% because of a sell on clause, which is £6.6-£9.2 million.
I actually think that Williams is a better player than Stones at the moment and will probably be for the next 2-3 seasons, Man City have massively overpaid.

Champions League draw tonight, excited is an understatement! I still rather like looking at the top seeds for the group stage:

It would be nice to get a group where we have a chance of getting some decent results but I will be happy so long as there are one or two away games I can make! I don't think the reality of it all will hit until I hear the Champions League anthem playing at our first game!

Or both, thanks UEFA! Dilly ding dilly dong, time for a European tour. Already got Copenhagen sorted, hoping to make it to Brugge and Porto also.

Our first experience of a proper European game last night. Technically strong opposition who play good football, an awful whistle happy referee who gives out yellows for petty incidents but not for bad tackles and players who throw themselves to the ground just when we look at them! Still, a 1-0 victory! The first English side to win their first two games in the Champions League.
