Hi Eds. Any updates on the incomings/ outgoings? Really appreciate your inputs, Eds.

{Ed002's Note - Sorry about this, time has been an issue. I have not checked to see if there are any very recent updates but my existing notes say:

Martin Dubravka (GK) - done
Karlo Letica (GK) – moved to Brugge and I would say the goalkeeping buy of the summer – one you will hear a lot more about
Ryan Fredericks (RB) – moved to Spurs
Kenedy (LWB) – arrived on loan
Federico Fernandez (CB) – discussed at the same time as Sung-yong Ki but came to nothing, NU may return but Schar is first choice right now
Kasim Nuhu (CB) – seen as too expensive and looking likely to join Hoffenheim
Fabian Schar (CB) – will arrive to replace Mbemba if RB gets his way
Mikel Merino (DM) – done but sold on
Sung-yong Ki (DM) – done
Thiago Mendes (DM/CM) - put off by Lille's €25M asking price
Andre-Franck Zambo Anguissa (DM/CM) – kept watching him last season but nothing will happen now
Valon Berisha (M) – opted for Lazio instead
Kasey Palmer (M) – loan wanted but not allowed
Mario Goetze (AM) – no realistic chance of him moving to NU
Stefano Sturaro (CM) – interest has gone
Lovro Majer (AM) – a wildcard option it may be worth keeping an eye on for the future
Andros Townsend (RW) – wanted but Crystal Palace will not want to sell
Carlos Mane (RW) – I expect interest has gone
Yacine Brahimi (LW) – in talks with another side and covered by arrival of Kenedy
Ruben Loftus-Cheek (M) – loan wanted but not allowed
Divock Origi (F) – remains possible but NU would only want a loan
Quincy Promes (F) – very, very, very, unlikely
Alassane Plea (S) – headed to Borussia Moenchengladbach
Yoshinori Muto (S) - may be a WP issue in England and if Gayle stays it would be unlikely
Salomon Rondon (S) preferred choice

Jesus Gamez (RB) - gone
Massadio Haidara (LB) – gone
Stuart Findlay (CB) – gone
Curtis Good (CB) - gone
Mikel Merino (DM) – moved on for purposes of profiteering
Jack Colback (DM) – loaned to NF
Chancel Mbemba (CM) – Porto would like a deal
Aleksandar Mitrovic (S) – will head to Fulham I would think
Dwight Gayle (F) – expected to stay
