Who do you think will end up being signing of the season so far?
I'm going with Obiang - he'll be at a top 4 club within 2 years, Darmian - I'm not sure why it's just a feeling, Milner - a very under rated player & Delph - I've got a feeling he'll be a completely different player at City.
I also think that surprise manager of the year could be Steve McLaren - I don't think that's a popular opinion though.
Any one have any thee suggestions?

Think mcclaren is a great call moon think the guy still has a lot to offer.
I'm loathe to admit it but I think Sterling will have a good season and score a bag full of goals .
05 Aug 2015 20:38:24
I think Depay will be having seen him pre-season. For others Ayew or Mitrovic. Out of the well known domestic deals, Cech is a key one of course.
I also think Steve McLaren will do well - I think Ranieri won't.
05 Aug 2015 20:39:00
Signing mitrovic, manager Monk, both young and hungry. Think Mitrovic will thrive at Newcastle, just hope he isn't starved of service and I'm a huge admirer of Gary Monk, great coach.
05 Aug 2015 20:43:39
Cech will be signing of the season. With a top quality keeper and organiser, Arsenal will finally have the makings of a decent defence.
Arry will obviously the surprise manager of the season when he takes over at City and leads them to a quadruple.
05 Aug 2015 20:44:03
I do think sterling will do well, but how would you justify the price tag to consider him a success?
When you take away the premium he's a £40m player, for that money I'd expect 25 goals minimum and although I can see him getting 10 goals and a similar number of assists yet for me that isn't worthy of £40M
05 Aug 2015 20:57:58
Benteke for me , I think he'll score plenty and McClaren for manager
05 Aug 2015 21:05:26
For me the signing of the season so far for us will be depay or schneiderlin. There has been some amazing signings made this summer though for a lot of teams. Both the ayews will be good. So will payet
05 Aug 2015 21:09:26
I have my reservations about Mitrovic, talented player but his attitude is very Ravel Morrison/ Balotelli-esque and I wonder whether the increased media attention of bath being in the UK and at a club with a huge following will do him any good. Only time will tell though.
I don't think Cech will make a lot of difference, brilliant but I can't remember Arsenal conceding through keeping errors last year, Ospina done really well in my opinion.
Monk is a good candidate for surprise manager, he hit the ground running in his managerial career no doubt, I doubt whether Swansea have a good enough squad to fulfil their managers potential - he's certainly a candidate though.
05 Aug 2015 21:21:03
However moon you say you'd expect 25 goals + from a £40m player but Hazard seems to get plaudits from 10 G's/A's a season, "big game player"? I think he's hugely overrated but I seem to be in the minority, so if Sterling replicates Hazards stats from last year would he too be a success?
05 Aug 2015 21:25:38
Might seem biased of me but I think signing of the season will be schneiderlin. An area we've struggled in and I think we will see a massive difference.
05 Aug 2015 21:42:10
Keeping United signings aside, I'd like too see how Wijnaldum will play his season with Newcastle, as I think we could've sign him as he is a quality midfielder, whatched him since he was at Feyenord.
05 Aug 2015 21:54:32
I think 1) Cech 2) Cabaye 3) Obiang
05 Aug 2015 22:55:54
I really rate Sterling, and think he will shut a lot of the "haters" up this season. Also Benteke will do well at Liverpool. Our stand out player I think (even though he's not a new signing, but if he stays fit it will be like one) is Luke Shaw. I love the guy, great in the tackle, quick and seems to have a good understanding with young down the left flank.
On a side note, it will be interesting to see how Zaha does this season.
05 Aug 2015 23:05:03
Wijnaldom , Allefay for best value for money Hughes for manager stoke to be in top 8
05 Aug 2015 23:18:45
Anon, you would be correct, I would expect more but I'm sure that would justify it in today's market.
Dave, he is a good should but I think he's going to be like carrick and unnoticed for years on end.
Ziko, I think Wijnaldum could be impressive but I think he also needs mitrovic, etc. to bury the chances he creates.
Stand, cabaye is an interesting one, I'm not a fan but back with Pardew, Palaces main man, etc. could work in his favour
05 Aug 2015 23:30:52
I just feel Cabaye is a good player for place to sign. Not a top 4 side player. But he's good enough for EL. Think he's a good signing for them. I too think sterling will have a very good season but like you say for £50m so he should.
05 Aug 2015 23:48:09
Depay for best signing, I really rate him as something special.
Sanchez for best player/ top scorer he is quality and Arsenal will have a fight for the league.
Flop may be Delph even though cheap I don't think he will get the games he thinks he will.
Manager I am going to say Wenger because although I dislike him he has finally caught up with the modern game to go with the tactical mind.
Of the lesser clubs Stoke will finish highest with Palace pushing them and West ham just behind them.
06 Aug 2015 00:46:23
1)Schneiderlin 2)classie 3)cech manager of the year Eddie howe i think Bournemouth will surprise a few people next year and give most teams a run for there money,kind of how blackpool did a few years ago.
Flop signing I'm going to go for Sterling big price tag and a bad attitude, the lads had 1 good season and thinks he's Messi/Ronaldo quality already. give it 4 years and he'll be playing for someone like villa
06 Aug 2015 10:45:33
Depay, either of the Ayews or Wijnaldum
06 Aug 2015 12:49:44
Cabaye, Schneiderlin or Firmino
Manager: Pardew or Eddie Howe
06 Aug 2015 15:07:51
Depay, Ayew (the one from Marseilles) and Cabaye. Pardew to solidify Palace's premiership place, with a shout to Mark Hughes. Think Stoke could be a good outside bet for a European place.
