I imagine the managment at Arsenal spent all morning locked in a boardroom then turned on the TV to see Tuchel was available and died a little inside.

Surprised at the lack of well reputed sources linking either of Tolisso, Jorginho, or Lemar to a top a club (all three have contracts until 2020, btw). The latter is even more bewildering since he's bargain of the window material as L'equipe reported that Monaco are willing to let go of him for just £25m.

One of Monaco's best players, positionally versatile, & is only 21 y/o. Great ball carrier & ability to drive the team into the final third, athletic & physical prowess is there, & is a balanced passer to boot (good, not great though I'd say). Very interesting prospect & I'd be very curious to see what a manager like Poch could do with him. Could maybe use someone like him as a wide player that can dictate play into the middle.

At least there's finally good links with Seri to either Barca or PSG. Top 3 CM in Ligue 1, easily. Relatively overlooked this season.

Edit: "Mahrez has asked to leave the club this summer, according to SkySports. Says he's 'fiercely ambitious' & 'wants to move on to a new experience' "

Tolisso is linked to Juventus since early this season. But recently, it seems the rumour had kinda cool down.^^ I remember Arsenal also wanted to get him there. But without UCL, i can't see him moving the Arsenal lol.

Ah fair dos, could see you guys making use of a Tolisso type player for sure. Fits the bill of what you guys usually look for in CM's as well.

Yeah we are looking for a strong MF player who would be able to protect our fragile Marchisio and Pjanic. We had too many intelligent player and lack the rhino to protect them lol.^^

But i am also quite concern actually right now. As our current formation is the 5 Star offensive player with Dybala, Higuain, Cuadrado,Mandzukic and Pjanic as our main offensive player.

But recently we are changing into a more strange formation where our playmaker is mostly our LB/RB which is Sandro and Alves as our creator while the mid is hold by our double pivot of Khedira and Pjanic while Marchisio is the deputy to come in to control the tempo of the game when we need to control the game.

I wonder, if Juventus should focus on getting winger first like Bernadeschi or Tolisso here.T_T

It was known for quite some time that he would leave.
So unlike they avoided all those informations, they just wanted Wenger to continue.

Looks like 1860 Munich going down to 3rd division.
Coach Vitor Pereira should be free after it.
Have some sympathy for the club but they have been terrible in last seasons. Congratulations Jahn Regensburg.

Match is now suspended due public disturbances.

Their U23 team get relegated too. So all 5 teams got relegated this season.
1860 might never recover from this unprecedented failure.

There are legitimate reasons to be worried about the influence of Mendes at the Wolves, but anyone who wouldn't take Nuno over Lambert wants their fucking lumps felt. It's an enormous coup to get him down here.

How is Semedo? (Sporting one) we are linked to him again.

The CB? He is pretty decent. Needs a better coach though, one that teaches him how to start the plays at the back. Otherwise he is a kid with potential, for sure. A bit slow sometimes, but that can be corrected with better positioning.

Arsenal transfers prediction time:

Alexis out, Mahrez in
Ozil out, Cazorla in ("He's like a new signing!!")

No significant improvements to the squad, the old dross remains, 4th place.

5th/6th place you mean.

The bar has been lowered once again, never to be raised.

If Wenger concentrates solely on the league and has a good summer in terms of signings they can reach top 4, if he puts any focus on Europa then I doubt it

I dunno guys, i am having a legitimate ly hard time seeing anything other than Wenger buuying Mahrez to replace Sanchez. It's just such an Arsenal thing to do ti replace your best player with someone nowhere near a match

If Henry Onyekuru signs for Arsenal, he'd play with "Henry" written on the back of his shirt. Number 14 not available

That's going to go well....
