    That's what's up! Bloom, y'all.

    I have no idea if that 'chances created' stat is worth anything, but let's say it is.

    You should be able to come up with a few decent chants about Big/disgusting Pascal even if he ends up being shit so the fee is really good anyway.

    Seems a bit Moneyball but if it works it'll be a stroke of genius. At that price you can afford to take the risk.

    Wenger is on the verge of signing a new two year deal, apparently.

    I'd love to see him sign it, win the league next season, and troll the absolute fuck out of all those YouTube wankers.

    I wouldn't have prioritised him, but I don't think anyone will be too gutted to sign a world class attacking midfielder in the prime of his career.

    It's the fear of the unknown that keeps him there. "So, Arsene ... must be thinking about retirement soon?"

    As someone said the other day (Hamann I think), Rojo and Valencia aren't exactly box office for the South American market but Hameth should be a perfect signing.

    Where does he fit in though?

    His best position is arguably in a 4-2-3-1 with him just behind the striker but Pogba in a midfield two?

    He fits in by making a new market buy stuff.

    That's the trouble with Pogba.

    Maybe they'll have Hames coming off the right wing, sticking with the 4-3-3. I don't really see United getting him though.

    Yeah, it only works coming off the right, and even then it would need Juan Mata or 'Micky' to leave (Lionel Jesse being safe forever). I would have him on that basis though, with the latter being my preference for the boot.

    The trouble with Pogba is that he's average.

    The whole squad seems built for 4231... Except Pogba.

    The Mourinho 4-2-3-1 and 4-3-3 are basically interchangeable anyway. The nearest thing he has had to a proper number ten (as in not defending and just doing what he likes) was Deco, and even he tucked in.

    Yeah, fair point. Pogba often drifts into the no10 area in possession.

    I reckon Mata and probably Mick are better no10s than they are wide-ish players. And Mourinho usually has very good, fast wingers and Martial, Lingard and Rashford aren't exactly Robben, Ronaldo or Hazard standard.

    We're supposedly set for a double left-back swoop.

    A deal for Robertson from Hull should be pretty easily sewn up with them having gone down. Our other target is Ryan Sessegnon who only just turned 17. He made the Championship team of the year but they benched him for both play-off games out of the blue. Could be a sign that he's off somewhere.

    As for other targets it depends on what formation Klopp sees us playing next year. With Milner returning to the centre and Coutinho likely moving there too, we really don't need anything other than maybe 1 defensive minded player.

    He's openly said he doesn't want a Goalkeeper. Alexander-Arnold can cover behind Clyne, so a starting quality CB or maybe two is needed. After that I'd have us signing a couple of wingers and 1 striker. Hopefully Ings can come back strong too, but he's had basically 2 years out now so I'd not expect miracles.

    I'd be amazed if Sessegnon doesn't end up at Spurs.

    Probably better off spaffing the combined fee for those two on Bertrand (why change the habit of a lifetime?). What has Robertson been like this year?

    Sky reckon Jermaine Defoe has provisionally agreed to join Bournemouth for next season. Personal terms haven't been agreed, or a medical yet.

    I thought he'd end up back at West Ham, or as Harry Kane's backup at Spurs, but good on Bournemouth for getting in there early.

    #GRIE7MANUTD seems to be looking likely.

    Imagine it's rather contingent on us winning tomorrow.

    'I've reached a point where playing nice football and scoring goals isn't enough'. That's fortunate.

    It's not the player they're buying though, it's the futures in his image rights etc. You can flog loads of shirts even if his value to the team in the next few years is negligible.

    EDIT: I see he's staying at Flamengo anyway. Hmm.

    'There's lots of offers on the table, both in England and abroad', sez Wayne Rooney. It would be interesting to know who they all are, and whether there are any 'You wot mate?' offers from clubs who ought to know better.

    He seems quite homespun to me, so it's probably Tranmere or bust.

    Back in the glory days he could have had a go at Big Sam's Bolton.

    There will be at least one Big Club getting involved because their owners are wallies. Milan, probably.

    Rumours afoot that Bernardo Silva is in Manchester today to finalise a move.

    That'd be to City surely?

    Antonio Valencia has signed a new deal today, so this just looks like City trying to prove they're relevant now.
