No Zlatan announcement yet? I thought it was today.
You must have missed it, he announced a clothing line. https://a-z.com/en/Bailly has passed his medical, according to sky 'sources', so looks like being the first of the summer. That's good news - although I don't know much of anything about him at least he offers strength in an area we need it.
Also on Zlatan's new clothing, it all looked rather drab to me. Although I did like the 'its about how much you sweat' tagline on the website. Gives me some hope

So a year ago your new signing cost £4m?! Now he's £30m? He must be good!
Yeah but deduct the EPL tax and really we are paying probably half that. He has come a bit out of the blue, but like any signing its a gamble. Mind you at that rate of return we could flog him next year for £225m or so, can't knock Ed's man maths.jammy_basturd said:
Is this signing an admission that Rojo hasn't worked out?
Assuming the intention is to start Bailly and Smalling then I would imagine he falls at best into the squad player category, but then we have Blind, McNair, TFM, CBJ, Darmian who also can cover his positions just as well (and certainly better if last season is the standard). If the aim is to push the youth players then I think both he and Jones are looking at finding new clubs to get regular games, and I hope they both manage to do so. I feel bad for Jones in particular - had so much potential but just cant stay fit and there's no room for sympathy in the modern game sadly.Obligatory YT video, I love him already for upending the bitey racist at about 2:10
