Has any of this actually happened?  LOL.  I am going to unblock you for the World Cup.  Now, behave cause there are like 5 people on this board who give  ashet.

Haha.   I still love you.  Sky News said both are in advance talks.

Who knows... Liverpool even had a photo shoot with Fakir before the deal fall thru.  Never know until the deal is announced.

Arsenal signed that 34 year old LB from Juve and 29 CB from Dortmund.  They are trying to get Martin from Sporting on top of Torreira and Leno.

They are also negotiating for CB Caglar Soyuncu who looks like a carbon copy of David Luiz.

Arsenal also still it talks with Fellaini.  Complete rebuild of the team.  They are going to have to sell some players.

Cool, but Fellaini?  Is that some type of upgrade?  hahaha.  And yes...I must admit I hate Arsenal.  HATE.  ARSENAL.

If you seen Xhaka play... you would know that even you would be an upgrade.  Arsenal gave up like 50 goals and 2/3 of them were due to mistakes by Xhaka and Mustafi.  Arsenal had the 3rd best scoring attack in EPL behind Liverpool and City.  If they fix their DM and CB issues, watch out.

[Shocker]

Really important transfer window...all the teams at the top can challenge Man City next year.  Man U has the best chance with that open wallet and Chelsea doesn't even have the manager settled.  FUG.  I think we will see a strong Man U and City and Pool.  Again this window is very important.

Ok, so...yes.  Agreed.  Not sure Fellaini is much of an upgrade but compared to that...yes.

Wenger played Ramsey beside Chaka as DM... who is terrible DM. I’ll take real DM over CM who can’t play DM.

Question for you Arsen...what are your thoughts on Antonio Conte as a manager?  Outsider look in?

He’s an amazing manager.  I loved him as a coach back in Juve days.  I was super jealous when Chelsea got him.  No clue what happened to Chelsea this season.  I think they just lacking leadership (just like Arsenal).  Chelsea lost a ton of games they should of won.

My thoughts as well...great manager.  One of the best.  I could name lazy Chelsea players but you probably know them already.  If you can't play for Conte you have to wonder who can motivate them.

(Cough) Willian and a few other players that hate his training schedule.  Conte will be an amazing coach in Italy or anywhere that players want to work and not rest on there past.

Conte will fix it.  He is super smart.  I expect Chelsea in top 4 next season.

This guy... either forreal or major troll job. For £20M one of the best goalies in Europe would be a f robbery...

BBC says Leno is in London for medical.... woohoo!

[Ja Rhule]

Leno is signed.  Next, Torreira (Sampdoria President already said that Torreira has been sold and no longer with the club).

Wilshere is officially not resigned and allowed to leave on free.  Apparently, Emery wants Banega instead of free Wilshere.

Man, transfer season is almost completely dead due to World Cup...  teams in EPL will have 2-3 week window to do business.
