    Fine, we'll give up Shelvey for him.

    I think Bale will move on loan to someone.

    I've written off Benzema for the past two years now and he is still going strong. Surely he would be sold which means bale and Ronaldo will be playing as two strikers. He has that Algerian/French connection ongoing with Zizou.

    Craig Norwood has started following Fred on Instagram so that's a done deal.

    If Bale actually becomes available this summer it will make the Sanchez move look even more ridiculous.

    Sanchez was ridiculously cheap - it was great business, regardless, barring him completely falling off a cliff.

    Don't they play with three up front? As in two wingers and a man in the middle? Benzema seems like the unselfish lad you need for a trio to work. One that's quite happy to go where he's needed to let Ronaldo be the greedy cunt.

    Arsenal signing Sokratis Papastathopoulos for 16M it seems.

    Bit odd, but in todays market that's basically fuck all so seems cheap for a regular starter from Dortmund.

    If he actually improves the team much, I dunno. Sounds like another "decent squad player" when what they really need is to sign someone who can make a real difference, like maybe Koulibaly or someone (I don't really know who's a good defender that might be available these days).

    Can we just call him Sokratis? The current number 7 is giving me enough trouble as is.

    I'm, sure it's a diamond 442 now which is why bale cant get in. Benzema scores 5 league goals all season. You are probably right about the whole unselfish thing though.

    It’s all about the money to be made from getting those names on the back of a shirt. It was about 50p a letter and a quid a number in my day, and that was about 20 years ago. You’re looking at about Ł200 for that Greek sounding bloke.

    Edit: err, the first one.

    That's a point actually. United could do one of those loan scams where they pay up next year.

    Definitely happening now.

    Combining a Turk and a Greek in central defence doesn't sound like the best idea.

    History suggests they both enjoy a good bumming so the centre of the Arsenal defence would seem like a good place for them.

    What are Arsenal actually doing? They’re buying players for all the right positions, but they’re not exactly the world class additions that are going to sort them out. It’s one thing panic buying a load of shit in August, but the window’s just opened.

    Arsenal front line Looks good on paper. Will they go Pierre and Alex as a two-striker pair....hopefully.

    In other news, wolves are linked with Andre Silva from Milan. Cant ever remember seeing him play .

    Everything I’ve read (lol) suggests he isn’t really upto Premier League scratch, but hey I’m sure that was said of Salah.

    Has Fekir been confirmed yet? Ł53m seems like a bargain if the hype is to be believed.

    Commentary tonight mentioned Chelsea and Atletico Madrid being in for him too. He's looked poor so far in this.

    This sounds a bit weird. Everybody was meant to be interested, and for more than the reported fee, so was it all wank or did they all just move on?

    Hopefully he does not suffer from first season bakayako disease.

    Liverpool are stock piling midfielders nicely. Who (if any) is going to be sold

    That Fabinho signing is great for them, I think. Fabinho, Henderson, Keita* sounds a good midfield.

    *if he's as good as his hype.

    Emre Can is leaving and Oxlade-Chamberlain is dead until Christmas. Plus, too many of our midfielders are too similar so it's a good sign that we're looking at more 'specialist' players for a change. Milner's getting on a bit so can't see him playing as many games as he did last season. I wouldn't be surprised if Lallana is sold as well.

    I forgot about Oxlade-Chamberlain, who I think has been great. There doesn't seem to be an obvious three to choose then. Fabinho and Ox both versatile so maybe they'll cover elsewhere.

    Henderson, Keita, Fabinho, Gini, Milner, Ox and Lallana all play best centrally, but the Ox is out for the calendar year.

    You'd imagine Henderson gets in as captain, but then I could quite easily see Klopp giving it to Virgil for the next season.

    Beyond that I'd guess it depends on the opponent.

    He’s also been happy to bench Hendo even if he is captain.
    I think we might move Lallana on if the right offer comes in.

    If we’re not upgrading Henderson then we can just give up. Fabinho, Keita, Ox will be the three when they’re all fit. I’d rather see Wijnaldum at the base of midfield than Henderson. At least he has come technique and isn’t afraid of receiving the ball under pressure.

    Yeah, I really don't think Henderson's good enough. Not as a guaranteed starter for a team with ambitions of challenging for the league anyway.

    United have apparently activated the release clause for Diego Dalot from Porto, who is a 19 year old right back.

    Never heard of him but he's supposed to be very promising.

    Fosu-Mensah prefers to play in midfield, so the plan may be for him to succeed Matic.

    Doesn't @Kikó watch Portuguese football? The Porto fans are wanking themselves silly over him on Reddit.

    EDIT: The 'accent in his username' dickhead.
