    The Transfer Thread

    To save the X number of threads that inevitably crop up every summer, I figure we can just bung them all in here. Saves bandwidth and all that. So, the first major transfer to note (or one of them) is Giovanni Dos Santos to Tottenham for 8.6m. I've never seen Gio play in real life, but on...
