Lampard was a bit part player clearly past his best.Cech can play at a world class level for a direct rival for years to come. Totally different.

Rage inducing. How must José feel after he's said so many times that he doesn't want to sell to a rival?

Yeah....almost seems like they're preparing for a departure. PLEASE, CHELSEA! This can be our one big splurge this summer!

I take it he's been shit? After initially being a little excited about the loan I'm starting to think this may be a really bad idea.

Seems like a bit of a waste of his talent going there doesn't it? He was wanted by some of the best sides in Europe and he ends up at a fading force in a fading league where they'd do well just to finish 3rd or 4th in. Would've been perfect for Arsenal so I guess I'm glad that didn't happen.

Dembele would be below the basement.More like an old outhouse. Or a porta potty.

Fuck no. FUUUUUUCK NO.

So is the delay in the unveiling purely down to the Samsung sponsorship not lapsing yet?

I've seen Arsenal fans saying it's fake. Don't you think the mass media would've picked up on this by now if it were genuine?

That's apparently a fake Instagram account.

Other than the red accenting it looks nice enough.

So you're fine with completely burning out Matic and Cesc so their level craters towards the end of the season like last campaign? I wouldn't bank on our rivals being as shit or inconsistent as they were last season.If EITHER of our first choice CM's get long injuries the quality of their backups falls off a cliff.

Not signing a new CM could potentially be suicidal.Not even taking into account how much all of our rivals will strengthen, imagine if Matic suffered a long term injury. We'd be totally fucked. Ramires and Cesc as a partnership would get torched, Mikel is far too limited to be any sort of solution over a lengthy period, and no chance is RLC ready to step in for big minutes. We should ideally have 5 options for CM. Matic, Fabregas, Ramires, RLC, and a new one. Witsel, Schneiderlin, Song, whoever.

Pellegrini inherited the most expensive and best squad in the league with ease and won the title after 2 other clubs threw it away. Totally incomparable to Mourinho who had to completely revamp and rebuild the side and then walked the league. We also did much better in Europe.

Seems like every time rumors pop up about Mikel leaving they're rubbished straight away by his people. Same will probably happen here.

I still expect United to be pretty inconsistent. They'll once again have a huge number of new players, a new keeper, and many extra matches to play compared to last season. They'll improve, sure, but they won't be legitimate title challengers just yet in my opinion.Arsenal are the most settled and best coached side after ourselves. They add Cech and a top class CM and they have a wonderful squad unfortunately. Arsenal are famously the ultimate flat track bullies and will blow away the small teams like they always do and they're now starting to figure out how not to be naive against the big boys.

Pretty infuriating that the club will go against José and allow him to go there. I'd rather him go literally ANYWHERE other than that fucking filthy club. Does our board/owner not know that we'd be giving a direct (perhaps our biggest) rival for the title next season a huge boost? Fucking hell.

Picking up a bit of steam on my Twitter feed. I wouldn't say no to him to be honest. Been a fan for a couple of years.

Got my hopes up seeing this thread bumped. Goddamnit.

Bet you if one of the London clubs (us or Arse) bid that same amount he'd hand in a transfer request. Worth a punt I'd say. Next best realistic option after Griezmann.

Prefer to have a tough start myself with an easier Christmas period and run in. Sort of glad we have both City and Everton away out of the way so early. Two of the toughest away games.

He'd be quite stupid to come here to be honest. He's good enough to start at all but 3-4 sides in the PL.

Opposition fans actually think we're gonna pay him the same 280-300k per week that he earned last season...

Costa/Drogba/Remy to Costa/Falcao/Austin? Not bad I guess. Would rather keep/convince Remy to stay.

€50m purchase option? Fuck off! No chance will that happen.
