The Gunners signed the Chilean Alexis Sanchez. I hope he works out. Supposedly going after some Frenchman that I have never heard of. Arsene loves his frogs.

Liverpool got Adam Lallana and Rickie Lambert from Southampton, but they will not score like Suarez did. I think they were going after that Swiss guy, Shaqiri, but that might not happen. They also are picking up some young guys like Markovic, but the guy is like 20 so it will not be an immediate impact.

They have the money go do lots of things, what they really need is defense.

You're a Spurs fan BDB? What have they been up to?

On paper Man U is stacked, getting them to play is the issue. I think they should be in the top 4 this upcomming season with Louis van Gaal as manager.

Well, we're also losing Evra and Vidic, so Shaw is a partial replacement. I believe Fellaini will be gone as well. We're still linked to guys like Vidal, Reus, Coleman, Di Maria, Robben, Hummels etc..so we'll see what happens. I kind of expected them to jump out of the gate, but with the Dutch success in Brazil, I'm guessing Van Gaal got a late start on things.

Our biggest issue is midfield. Especially with Van Gaal running a 3-4-3. Right back is a hole as well.

Not too much, been trying not to lose guys. I think Paulinho is gone eventually, he doesn't seem to want to be there. They are trying to get another striker like Wilfried Bony or Lukaku, but might get outspent by other clubs. In the end I see them spending 20-30 million pounds.

That and vanPersie is a shell of the player he was two years ago.

Yeah, I kind of figured we caught lightning in a bottle that year. On the plus side...he's actually been healthy for 2 years in a row, so that's a good thing. I'm confident Van Gaal will put together a top team. May not be right away, but we'll be at the top again soon.

Effing Chelsea sign Cesc Fabregas and Diego Costa. I thought Cesc was coming back to Arsenal. Bummer. It will be interesting to see if Costa adapts to the EPL.

Apart from the fact he played for Barcelona a few years back - I know nothing about him.

Are you a stoke fan? If so, why stoke?

I randomly chose Stoke in May when I was getting into the World Cup!

Lol, I really know very little about this.

Choosing Stoke is a good fit for a Royals fan.

Since he went from Barca to a lesser Premiere League team, he's probably not all that great. I don't know anything about him though.

Mo, I really think you need to be a Gunners fan. It will give you much more to bitch about and like your sex life it will be "exciting" without actually happening.
