When you look at the left hand side and see Sigurdsson preferred to Iwobi, Bernard and Gordon then something is stirring.
When you see Walcott on the right being replaced by Bernard--who is poor on the right--the game is afoot.
Its almost like a big clearout is imminent
Pickford
??? ??? Mina Digne
Gbamin
??? Gomes
Richarlison ??? Iwobi
I think were still lacking 3 starters (if Gbamin delivers) + a few good rotation options.
Time will tell if Kean/DCL make the CF position their own. If not we need one short term option.
Really need to loosen the purse...
Im good friends with a couple of Chelsea fans and theyre unimpressed with him...for £20mil they would have been ok as a squad player but £60mil they think is a total waste of money.
Oh! Goodness me, I am awfully dejected that my employers are unable to muster any team in Europe foolish enough to underwrite my contract.
One is Yannick Bolasie! One aspires to be loved by the great unwashed peasants! One has created a language only the chosen few can understand!

Belgian press reporting Hornby deal is almost done.
Stekelenburg linked by football insider to REAL MADRID as backup due to Navas' injury
Personally hope Bolasie / Cuco / Mirallas / Tosun / Niasse news will be not far away...
I heard from the United side at the time that it was a loan, nothing about any transfer.
My take was that we wanted the loan, United leaked a transfer to see if they could drum up other interest and we walked away.
Silva says £28mil net spend and 18 players gone.
Interesting to see how many more leave + the fees. Would be great to be close to breakeven, have as much as possible for a CB in Jan.
Anyone have links to what the Arsenal fans are saying about iwobi leaving?
Apparently he did really well for them last season and from what i read he was well liked by the fans and on the cusp of a possible breakthrough...
£35mil for Iwobi isnt too bad...cant say ive seen too much of him but from what ive seen he has tricks and pace.
If Silva can work with him he could be an assist machine for Kean and Richarlison.
Holgate i liked at CB until he lost his place after the Firminho incident when he looked pretty...
