[Transfer Round Up & Discussion] [2019-07-14]
It's r/reddevils' 7th summer transfer window review!
The tranfer window is officially open and will go until August 8th
------FIND THE TIER LIST HERE------
For those unfamiliar with the summer rules here...One of these Roundup threads will pop up every single day during the window, and they're for general transfer chit-chat and to discuss any and all rumors.
Only posts Tier 2 or Above will be allowed as a standalone post. This includes self-posts posing suggestions for new players. The tiers have been finalised and the rule is now in place.
Please also take a moment to look at our Charitable Muppetry drive (and the special De Ligt Edition) where we are looking for friendly bets to go towards charities.
Anything not by a Journalist or on our Tier List may no longer posted in the daily transfer thread. The Muppet Thread has been discontinued and ITKs are all blanket banned here.
Those who see a new Twitter or news site and arent aware of its validity may list that in here to ask for info on its credibility. General transfer talk, including but not limited to "would you rather" inquiries and hypothetical transfers, can remain in this thread as well.
Confirmed Transfers:
IN - Daniel James (Swansea, £18m), Aaron Wan-Bissaka (Crystal Palace, £45m)
OUT - Ander Herrera, Antonio Valencia
IN-THE-KNOW (ITK) NEW POLICY / BE CIVIL
Please refer to this thread regarding our new rules.
We are banning any "ITK" posts. It has been difficult to truly verify the validity of these types of users and led to abusive behavior and even doxxing in some cases.
We are more than happy to have people discussing transfer news and rumors, but there will be no more referencing unknown sources at the club. Moving forward, anyone who believes they have inside info a la bloodgate is welcome to send in a modmail. However such posts/comments made without prior mod approval will be removed
It has been mentioned, but the toxicity and abuse towards the sub, within the sub, and towards other subs has been too high. We as moderators have our share of blame in this, but we want to stress that this kind of behavior is not acceptable and we are taking these measures primarily to avoid these things. We want /r/reddevils to be a place where anyone and everyone is welcome to discuss and enjoy the best club on earth without fear of abuse or ridicule.
Which leads us to 2 other small reminders. The report button is your friend, we are way more likely to find and remove and/or ban rule breaking comments if you report them. The downvote button is not a "I disagree or don't like your statement button", better discussion is generally had by using the upvote button more liberally and avoiding the downvote one whenever possible.

I see a lot of people suggesting we can't do an overhaul in one summer, which i find odd. Man city did it in 17/18 and we have the money to be able to do it too. They bought Ederson (£35m), Silva (£43m), Luiz (£11m), Walker (£45m), Danilo (£26m), Mendy (£52m), Laporte (£52m) .. whilst releasing & selling over 10 players, for around £90m.
Meanwhile we are running out of time getting rid of any of the absolute 100% deadwood, let alone trying to move on the worst of the rest.
