Forgot about them actually (especially with Shaw having been injured so badly last season)

It's going to be interesting to see whether Mourinho can quickly integrate 4 players from four different leagues into a team that's been coached by two different managers who had two very different approaches within the past 3 years/

Micky - Germany
Pogba - Italy
Bailly - Spain
Ibra - France

Luckily it helps that Pogba has lived in Manchester previously so it should be easier for him settle. Will be very interesting nonetheless.
 
Sold/received compensation - six of the one, half a dozen of the other. :D

Fair enough :D Just clarifying the perception that seems to be going around that we did not want him 4 years back and now broke the record to get him back.

Yep. Makes world of difference. Lot's of folks trying to say we sold him intentionally and are now buying him back. He would not agree to new contract, and thus left.
 

Mustafi's agent Ali Bulut confirmed the deal, saying: 'Shkodran and Arsenal agree. There are only the terms to be agreed on a transfer fee.'

The bold bit will go like this.

Wenger: 2mil

Valencia: Mr Wenger this 2016 not 2003. R30Mil thanks.

Wenger: 2,000,001 pounds?

Valencia: "Click....beeeeeeeeeeeeeep"

Wenger: 2,000,002?
 
****ing incompetence.

Mertesacker was injured 2 weeks ago....
 
Personal terms agreed, and yet in my mind there is still a major chance that this deal might not go through.

Its crunch time and you guys havent done much...I'm sure Wenger realises that he now has to finalise some deals

Crunch time all the time at Arsenal. 2 defenders got crunched, Wilshere got Crunched... doesn't end.

Looked pretty crunchy last season and we only signed Cech. Yeah, not expecting any miracles unless Liverpool thrash us on Sunday. Then we're guaranteed a trolly dash after the fans kick off again.
 
JANUZAJ LOANED TO SUNDERLAND

Sunderland have completed the signing of Adnan Januzaj on a season-long loan from Manchester United.

I hope Moyes gives him plenty game time.
 
Bolasie is gone to Everton - possibly opens the door for Benteke to Palace???
 
Claudio Bravo to Man City is a done deal.

Not sure what to think of that. Clearly Hart doesn't fit Pep's playing-style, but I think he's one of the best shot stoppers in the Premier League, and a player who has given a lot to the club. A better replacement would've been Ter Stegen, but that would've cost a crazy amount, something like £56.7million was in his release clause. If Bravo does arrive, I suspect Hart will be out this window, with Everton being quite keen.
 
Liverpool reject Christian Benteke bid from Crystal Palace

Liverpool have rejected a £23m bid from Crystal Palace for striker Christian Benteke.

Palace offered to pay £23m up front, with an additional £7m in add-ons, taking the total tuo £30m.

It is the second bid Liverpool have rejected from Palace for Benteke, having turned down a £25m offer in July.

I'm intrigued by this statement - how does a GK fit a playing style? Play as a sweeper in front of the back 4 as well? :D

Watched an interesting clip recently. Apparently EVERY player at Barca should be able to play in any position - including the GK, so he has to have great ball control, passing, etc.
