What I think of the big transfers made so far

Morgan Schneiderlin to Everton from Manchester United for £24m

With Schneiderlin not playing much under Mourinho, he had to move elsewhere in the market, so I think moving to Everton was the correct decision because he knows the manager through the time at Southampton and there’s positions up for grabs in the midfield.

Nathan Ake recalled from loan from Bournemouth to Chelsea

I think Bournemouth need him much more than Chelsea do because Chelsea already have lots of options at centre-back. However, maybe he will develop into a better player and be a regular in a few years.

Oscar to Shangai SIPG from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee

He’s still a young player so he could still return back to somewhere in Europe, but he probably won’t because the riches in China are so big.

Gabriel Jesus to Manchester City from Palmeiras for £27m

I think that City need a centre-forward to cover for Aguero or Iheanacho when they’re injured. However, I don’t think Jesus is the right man because he’s still young and also as many goals as he scored in the Brazilian league the standards are not very good there.

John Obi Mikel to Tianjin TEDA from Chelsea for an undisclosed fee

I think it was the right time in his Chelsea career to move because it was obvious that he was not going to play much under Conte especially as the other great options Chelsea have in midfield.
