- Josip Drmic joins Coventry for £65millions from Feyenoord.
Victor Osimhen leaves Nacional for parent club Barcelona for £50millions. Erik Lamela returns to Spurs for £45millions from Chelsea. Divock Origi steps down to brave Stockport from Twente for £35millions. Ainsley Maitland-Niles moves to Leverkusen from Watford for £25millions. Felix Uduokhai leaves Schalke and joins Cologne for £18millions. Facundo Torres joins Nacional from Penarol in a swap deal involving £17.5millions and Mauro Arambarri.
Plenty of smaller deals also went through including
Twente's capture of Wayne Henderson from Drogheda. Maarten Stekelenburg's move to Barcelona from the non-league.
Leverkusen won the competitive race to sign young star Hugo Etikite with a £5millions signon fee. Genk grabbed another promising young star Quentin Merlin with a £2millions signon fee. There was stiff competition for both those players from several clubs this week.
Lamela moves on, was good player for me and scored a few as well. |

No… it’s a game! Agree. We still have retired players playing so it’s the same. I agree with Gaz. Still selling Akinfeev though. |

| I’ll go with the majority - what is happening in Ukraine is horrific and rightly so is being condemned around the world.
Maybe if players aren’t removed then perhaps Russia no longer plays in any of the international competitions? |

| I appreciate we all have our own views on what is happening in the world at any one time but I do try to not let it interfere with the fun of the game and with that in mind I've assured the five managers of Russian clubs that there will be no sanctions against them and they can carry on as normal.
Hopefully this wont spoil anybody's fun in the game... |

Still selling Akinfeev though. And players in prison! Greenwood being one soon. |

Players who are sent to prison in real life are flagged by the system as being in prison and can be kept but not played, sort of a long term suspension, until they have served their time and been released... The message being, you are not responsible for what your country does but you have to be held accountable for what you do as an individual. |

| Who has Benjamin Mendy? Don’t want to throw them under the bus here but shouldn’t he be flagged? Or is it pending trial? Innocent until proven guilty? |

Hopefully this wont spoil anybody's fun in the game... No issues here in the slightest - agree that we don’t want to ruin anyone’s fun in the game for things way out of our control! |

Think innocent until proved guilty is the way forward here - Greenwood included, although those pictures don’t look promising for him |

| Completely agree, he is one for sure.
Mendy a more tricky one, although he hasn’t been convicted yet he has been refused bail so still in prison.
Do you own him Ben? |

| Unrelated but slightly related note. I was at Troy Deeney's first game back after getting out of prison. Prison life definitely doesn't make you any more mobile .... and he didn't have a load of pace before he went in.
QU ........2 AE ........ -3 (until he does a bit of yoga) |
