Transfer Zone: Leeds United make the 'best signing' of the window
Marcelo Bielsa will remain at Elland Road for another season after penning a new contract.
Marcelo Bielsa
Marcelo Bielsa has declared his contract situation at the Whites is 'resolved' ahead of their Premier League opener away to rivals Manchester United on Saturday. He will remain at Leeds for another 12 months.
Leeds United just made the best signing of this window. Marcelo Bielsa signing on the dotted line is great news. #lufc #Bielsa

Never in doubt. Next target, heading towards Wilko's 8 years in charge!

12th August shall be called Marcelo Bielsa day.

Does that mean no more signings then Marcelo?
Joe Willock
Newcastle will finally get their man after agreeing a fee with Arsenal but one fan is still less than impressed by Mike Ashley.
I don’t support Mike Ashley. I never have. I want him out of our club. But paying £65-85K wages for Joe Willock is beyond madness. That’s not Modern day wages for a player that has played a handful of times in The Premier League. They need to have a plan B.

James Ward-Prowse
First, they lost key man Danny Ings to Aston Villa and it seems like their free-kick specialist James Ward-Prowse could be the latest player to depart.
And we thought Theo Walcott would paper over the cracks…
If Hassenhuttl keeps Southampton up after the way he has been treated, he deserves the MOTS end of season. Absolutely no discussions about it.

Benitez vs Hassenhuttl
Steve Bruce will be in danger throughout the season aswell as Daniel Farke.
Jannik Vestergaard
It's going to be a long season. Don't rule out another 9-0 drubbing and don't rule out Hasenhuttl getting emotional when his team beats Norwich 1-0 to save him his job.
Wouldn't be surprised at all if Hassenhuttl just stepped down. The owners of Southampton seem to have little ambition

Raphael Varane
Talk about taking your time to announce a major signing…
@ManUtd any chance of announcing @raphaelvarane before the first game on Saturday? Talk about dragging it out and taking the sting out of a great signing.

Alexandre Lacazette
Roma may turn to the Arsenal forward with Tammy Abraham undecided on joining Jose Mourinho's side.
One Gooner would rather see the back of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang.
I’d rather give Aubameyang for Tammy than Lacazette. Auba’s brought nothing on the table since signing big monies, and the club wastes him on the wing. I also need to stop complaining about this and just enjoy the ride. But, I can’t help think how shit Auba is. Sorry.
