    So he is a left back? Barry Douglas was amazing at left wing back last season and was second, in my opinion, behind neves as the best player.

    Everton has rejected a bid for Ademola Lookman, from RB Leipzig.

    Wilshere is in advanced talks with West Ham
    He looks like a bastard son of De Bruyne.

    He didn't start off as a wing back (attacking midfielder IIRC) but Man City plugged him in there due to injuries.

    This Uruguayan defensive midfielder that Arsenal is linked with. I don't think he joins them now. He has been in the competition for too long now. He plays good. He could probably aim higher now.

    Yeah, it said during the match there he'd delayed his medical till after the tournament. Probably reckons he can get a better offer.

    Nah the family has already come out and said that it's done but he doesn't want to deal with the distractions, so they're over in the UK sorting out living arrangements etc.

    Some exciting news from Chelsea as fourth choice keeper Eduardo, 36 in September, signs a new contract and is immediately loaned out to Vitesse Arnhem.

    We're getting to the point where Conte might actually have to rock up for pre season training.

    I've heard it's just image rights/contractual bullshit holding it up.

    I can't wait for Sarry to call Jacqui Oatley a daft bint who doesn't know football and a player who goes over to easily an f-word followed by all the press that actually agree with him having to write hand wringing articles about how he's a stain on the game.

    Not that I'm a scout but I would stay away from that Russian Golovin. He has performed well but I wouldn't trust him to perform in any big man league. Something about it him, I just don't like.

    Arshavin was decent for about six months and excellent for one game.

    If there was one thing you could ever say Arshavin had, it wasn't fitness.

    Hasn't that started already?

    Liverpool's first game is tomorrow. 3pm, against Chester. Serious brains trust came up with that one.

    Those tasty LFCTV profits.

    We've signed a Brazilian right back, which is quite exciting because I've never seen a Brazilian play for us. (From what I can find on the internet, no Brazilian has ever played for us in our entire history.) Although he could be a shitkicker who struggles to control a 5-yard pass for all I know.

    It's probably just Olivier Bernard under a new identity.

    (knowing nothing of him, I reckon he'll be good)

    It's not the most samba of names, is it. I'd rather it be Bernardinho.

    Gotta trust Hughton and the transfer team. It's difficult to think of many blunders during his reign.

    That is outstanding. Not even I am that anti-England to watch that instead.

    Paulinho, after a fairly decent first season at Barcelona, has rejoined Guangzhou Evergrande on loan for a season. Something fishy about that.

    Torreria did look good once he started games for Uruguay. Surprised he is willing to join Arsenal after the good tournament he has had.

    Their stock might have fallen a bit, but it's still Arsenal. Not like they've done a Leeds or something.

    Yeha I'm not sure why Sincere keeps referring to Arsenal like they're Sunderland because they finished 6th once in 22 years.

    They can always still attract players, but the biggest hype is always World Cup players. I could have easily seen him go to a team who has better chances of winning league titles. Its still a step up for him from Sampdoria. He may see it as a stepping-stone to another big club. Arsenal look like they have signed a strong tackling midfielder.

    Arsenal finds themselves in a unique position. They can make huge gambles in players and tactic as there isn't any way possible they finish below Burnley next season in 7th

    Poor Jack. They didn't even bother to give him a number. I feel his pain. He arguably had one of his best seasons at Arsenal, stayed somewhat injury free and he still coundnt get a new deal at Arsenal or make the England bench.

    He didn't do enough for Arsenal to earn:

    1) More coins
    2) More playing time

    Personally, I thought he was good last year.

    Sky are reporting that Kenedy of Chelsea is heading to Newcastle tomorrow for a medical, signing a season long loan deal.

    Was really good as a LM for us last season, great move to bring him back as soon as we knew he was available.

    We appear to be in a state of total inertia, with the offical twitter just spouting updates from our World Cup players. Today there were some nice pictures of David Luiz, Ross Barkley et al doing some light stretching at the training ground, although the club suppressed all the photos which featured Conte.

    I suspect Abramovich has just called a halt to all decision-making, or something, because you'd never leave it this long if you were a vaguely functioning organisation.
