"Jose Mourinho's playing style could force Harry Kane to question Tottenham future" - Paul Merson https://twitter.com/primevideosport/status/1321415163233341441
"De Bruyne will be on the bench at City because you can't change a winning team. Who does he get in ahead of? No-one. They're all playing too well. Okay, he's had a good season in Germany. But there are only a few decent clubs there, It's not the Premier League." - Paul Merson
"I think Richarlison going to Everton has spoiled the window if I'm being perfectly honest. I think that happened so early, and at £40m that set the benchmark. Teams then have gone, 'Well if you're getting £40m for him I want £60m, £70m, £80m, £90m and £100m." - Paul Merson
"Aguero will be highest profile signing of summer so far if it happens. Still think Charlie Adam to Liverpool could be best though." - Oliver Holt
"Yaya Toure is an average player who's rumoured to be on £200,000 a week. Does he score goals? No. Does he create them? No. Is he an ok holding midfielder? Yeah - But De Jong, Viera and Barry do that already." - Paul Merson
"Everton need a reality check: Moyes is the best they can get." - Mark Ogden (9 days before Everton appointed 3x Champions League winning manager Carlo Ancelotti)
"I'm not doubting Cristiano Ronaldo's abilities. Clearly he's a talented kid who may be on the threshold of greatness. It just strikes me as rather odd that no-one's given the same attention to Liverpool's equally stunning new teenage recruit Anthony Le Tallec." - Chris Bascombe
“David Silva is a very good player — a special player. But I’m struggling to buy into this notion he will be remembered as one of the Premier League’s all-time greats.” - Stan Collymore
“Why would we want to sign Zinedene Zidane when we have Tim Sherwood?” - Jack Walker (RIP)
"Lionel Messi can do amazing things, but anything he can do, Joe Cole can do as well, if not better. He used to shock us in training by doing tricks with a golf ball that most players can't even do with a football." - Steven Gerrard
Will Buckley is not for sale. How much are they talking about for Wilfried Zaha? Ten million? They are going to have to go over that, because he is better. I've got no doubt." - Gus Poyet
“If Rafa Benitez loves Newcastle United as much as he says, he should spend some of his own money. They're in the bottom 3 & Rafa is responsible. He picks the team." - Richard Keys
“Leeds are appointing Bielsa. Will he know what it's like going to Rotherham on a Tuesday night? I'm not so sure. I'm looking at Bruce & McCarthy - English managers with records of getting out of the Championship why are they not knocking on those doors?” - Steve Evans
“Lionel Messi does nothing for me. I don't see what the fuss is about, Arshavin is far better.” - Darren Gough
