David Luiz is a clown. Probably the most fun teammate on the training ground.

Pepe Reina apparently being loaned to Napoli for a year. Gets to hang out with Rafa again. Liverpool can still sell him to Barca next summer.

He probably had a lot of years left on his contract and Roma could have just waited and sold him at another time after getting more miles out of him, unless of course they got an offer they couldn't refuse.
It's funny how psg has completely screwed Barca in their search to fill CB. Not selling Thiago Silva, and locking up Marquinhos.

I read Barca used back channels with the Qatari group to aggressively go after Thiago. It almost seems like Al-Khelaifi got pissed off & acquired Marquinhos out of spite while also flexing his financial muscle. That PSG back line is really scary with the edition of Marquinhos & Lucas Digne.

Zelalem certainly has talent. I hope the pressure doesn't get too him. Aside from Wenger we certainly have people in the squad that could guide, especially the fellow Germans. The mental aspect on/off the pitch can be so overlooked at times. I'm really hoping everything works out. Overall, I think we have a really good youth squad. I'm looking forward to the Capital One matches. And also the NextGen series but I think Arsenal might be switching to the Champions League Youth Cup.
It's great to see Flores mentioned in the article. I hope FIFA gives him permission and he can move to Germany. The sooner he gets there, the better.
I would love for Higuain to join us. Especially over Rooney or Suarez. I would also go after Ibra before those two. I think the Higuain could have been locked up and done a while ago. Rooney is injured and Suarez is banned and a liability.
It seems that Gervinho is on his way out. He is in the last year of his contract. Better to sell him now. So I can see Bernard coming in and taking his place.
^ Damn I was so hyped after reading that sky article about Santos being close to gone that I didnt see you already posted it.
I appreciate all the work you, and all the others who add links/news to this thread, in keeping people up to date with the silly transfer season.
It's a relief to have him gone
this is obviously why we need to avoid another panic buy 
Thanks man, I'm just doing my part. Trying to keep my sanity in all this madness

i think the LB position might be Digne's but it's gonna be interesting to see who partners Thiago in the centre of defence...they've got Marquinhos,Sakho,Alex and Lugano...

Don't they have that dude from Ajax on their squad too? Name is Van der Veel or something like that

Yeah that PSG backline is looking tough. Arsenal need to drop the cash for Higuain already.

Van der Wiel is a RB. Promising potential at Ajax and for the Dutch National Team, but has seemingly tapered off in form and production.
Kyle Walker may be the best RB in the world at the moment.

Selling Marcos was sad, great potential and he seemed to love Roma. I'd be more happy if we hadn't already spent what we got for him.

Apparently Madrid might through Higuain plus cash for Suarez...unlikely Wenger can top that...

Who at Warrior designed them & who ok'd them? They should not be allowed to work in apparel design again. Not even for school uniforms...

Any Italian speakers? I know that he spent some of his youth in Italy, but how good is his Italian?

BvB gave up a penalty in the last min. Wow
Could have been Bayern - BVb final again
Thiago first big time game for Bayern

Pretty good, esp for someone who hasn't spoken it consistently since he was a child.
