That's annoying. He'll piss the SPL.

A Chelsea academy player playing in the first team, good one m8.
We've got Ulloa on loan. Fantastic news. Sad times for Baldock though.
Newcastle have made an enquiry about sturridge on a loan deal according to SSN
Only because the centre back they paid 40 million quid for is a joke.
That's where they grow Contes hairpiece.
Sturridge to West Brom on loan.
Not quite the San Siro, is it.
He'll be 29 this year, what a waste. 55 games/17 goals in the last four seasons.
To be fair, I can sort of understand turning down the Milan clubs. What's the point of moving to Italy for 6 months to sit behind Mauro Icardi or Pannetone or whatever the Milan one is called.
May as well do the same and move up the road.
I'd rather live in Italy for 6 months than West Brom.
Probably wetter in Milan though so it's for the best.
Milan is a crap city for garbage people.
And yet it's still better than the Midlands.
It’s better for family reasons apparently so he’s still nuts I bet.
There's nothing wrong with the Midlands.
West Brom are going to ride that fitness advantage all the way to safety.
Isn’t he from the midlands?
Yeah he already lives in Birmingham doesn’t he? Same as Troy Deeney, which is why he’s often linked with West Brom.
I'm a twit
Lucas Moura to Spurs is done. He's better than Moussa Sissoko I guess?
Laporte has bought out his contract with Bilbao. I reckon he'll be a cracking signing.
It's hard to see how United will be able to get the title out of City's grasp in the foreseeable. Under Mourinho they'll just always have more of those shitty draws than a well-peopled Pep side will. Add to that nobody will want to hear him moaning about City spending 50 million on defenders for the next four seasons (plus United actually spend bigger on individuals), so I predict a classic third season MELTDOWN.
Are Arsenal going to play 4-4-2 then?
They really need to sign a big black wardrobe with a 60 inch neck for their midfield. It's hopelessly lightweight at the moment.
Seems like the only logical thing to do for them to me. Basically how Barcelona seem to be playing at the moment with Countinho and Iniesta on the "wings" (thats how the preview team looks anyway but honestly I don't quite understand the formation when looking at it).
Which, with when you're not Barca in La Liga and have Ozil the Ogre and Micki the Machine bombing up and down the wings and prioritizing defence will be a true stroke of genius in the PL.
Man, we are so fucked. We really needed those imaginary Chinese and Arab investors to save us.
Aubemayang to Arsenal
But only if Dortmund can have Batshuayi
Who can only go there if Chelsea can have Giroud
Very strange transfer(s).
I'm a twit
Everybody, or nobody, wins.
Agents win
Here we see the mercurial genius of Marina sticking out press releases about Ashley Barnes. £15 million for jee-roo now feels like deal of the century.
It was probably like that thing Tyrion does in Game of Thrones. Give various journos the names of shit beanpole strikers and see which ones end up in the paper.
Chelsea need to get a taxi down to pick up Lucas Moura.
So good.
Why has Conte got such a raging hard on for Llorente?
He signed him at Juventus and didn't play him, maybe Llorente is just a really lovely man.
It's fucking piss-your-pants exciting, this.
Aubameyang in for Giroud out doesn't feel 100% to me. Aubameyang is probably the better striker, but who knows how he'll do in the PL and for Arsenal (Dortmund play quite differently with more space to run on), and he essentially seems quite similar to Lacazette who has still been doing pretty decently IMO, but would probably suck on the wing.
So all in all it takes you as a team from having two distinctly different options up front - Pace or Power really, two two very similar options - Pace or maybe More Pace.
Now getting a completely class player in is always good I guess, but it sort of seems a bit like Arsenal just got rid of the biggest disturbance in the dressing room only to potentially risk another one straight after by A) bringing in a bit of a joker and B) creating competition for spots.
Don't go to Chelsea Olivier. They won't love you like I do.
If you want Pierre it's actually in your interests to say to Giroud now go on go, walk out the door, just turn around now cos you're not welcome anymore. At a cut price, too.
Alright Gloria.
Lacazette played off the wing for years for Lyon and did very well. The pace and position were the main things fueling the four years of Henry comparisons.
Aubameyang
Lacazette - Micky - Wenger
Wilshere - Xhaka
Monreal - Mustafi - Koscielny- Hector
Obviously Arsene won't actually field himself as an Egil Olsen-style wide target man, but I can't think at the moment who else they have as attackers.
You have to be a special talent to score goals consistently from season-to-season. Pierre to arsenal smells a little bit like torres to chelsea. Pierre is just about to reach his expatriation date.
Arsenal have played multiple formations this season and it appears they clearly do not know which one is best suited to them.
