"TOP" SUMMER TRANSFER DEALS
BETWEEN 28TH JULY – 2ND AUGUST, 2017
31st July, 2017
Nemanja Matic - - - (Midfielder) - - - {Chelsea to Manchester United} - - - Fee: £40m
RICKIE’S TAKE ~ (Great deal for Utd) - - - Selling an integral player of your title-winning team to a title rival might be unrealistic to some astute club managers. But not Antonio Conte, the Italian seems bent on adding to his team this summer. But at the same time letting go of a key player like MATIC to a rival opposition??? Financially, it’s a bargain sale for Chelsea, but football-wise, I think Chelsea might rue that decision in the coming season. Without a Diego Costa upfront and a Nemanja Matic anchoring the midfield, with Ngolo Kante? I strongly worry for the Chelsea fans. Good deal for Manchester United – A perfect and long-term replacement for Michael Carrick!

Jesus Navas - - - (Winger) - - - {Manchester City to Sevilla} - - - Fee: Free Transfer
RICKIE'S TAKE ~ (A great deal for Sevilla) - - - A brilliant winger. Very pacy and quick with the ball, also a great crosser. Highly under-rated and under-utilized by Manchester City, and all managers he worked with in Manchester City. At 31, he still has a lot to offer. And where better than his former club where he shown like a bright star, before his sojourn to England. Getting him back for free on a 4-year contract is a great deal for Sevilla.
