lol, djg is going hang himself. Henry, Toure, Clichy, Nasri, Fabregas, RVP, Song, etc. And now Walcott, only a few days after Wenger called him "very important" to the team.

Forget being a feeder club for Barca, more like for Man City. Since after getting their second bid rejected for Sinclair, I can def see them stepping up their game for Theo. Same type of game changing pace, but I'd take Walcott all day long.

Javi Martinez to Bayern is official for 40 million Euros, most expensive Bundesliga transfer of all time...

Really interested to see what Spurs do, still pissed they aren't doing anything with Dos Santos... think it would be amazing if they sold him and used the Modric and Gio money to buy someone shocking. Like Rooney.

I would actually be pretty happy to see him go if we got in a replacement or used the cash to strengthen another position. He is soooooooooooo inconsistent and is only really worth havig on the pitch in open games and how often do Arsenal play against open teams? like 75% of the time the teams just come and park the bus on front of goal and in them games Walcott is pretty much useless. He barely ever uses his pace which is his main attribute. We have players at the club already that i think do a better job and on a more regular basis. So what i am trying to say is that i hope we sell.

Hes consistant in patches tho

Deadline day, let's get the info rolling in.

Rafa VDV off to Hamburg, very sad to see him depart. Reports Moutinho is in. Trying to offload Jenas and others. Should be interesting...Levy Time!

This is just brutal to watch, 3 hours to go. Seems like Lloris is a sure thing for Spurs. Moutinho is up in the air...lol if we don't land him after letting VDV go

Looks like Tottenham stepped up and got him. Looks like I have to get a Hotspurs jersey now!

Was he ever linked with a CL club? Liverpool sure as hell isn't there and won't be going there either.

Nice moves by MC with Maicon and Javi Garcia. Wouldn't think Richardson will stay long there. Thought he played really well last season.

Maicon looks a bit past it, but isn't too far removed from being one of the best RB's in the world. City is probably a good spot for him, won't have to play every week but can put in a good shift when needed. Garcia too is an example of how good deals are still available, hes a solid player that came in for a reasonable (city standards) fee.

Wtf Liverpool?

I'd keep him as long as he was still awesome.

Typed a long post earlier that got lost to the 5 mins per day auto update, so here's brief thoughts.

Love the City signings and the fact that they got rid of Stefan Savic, am disappointed to lose De Jong but I understand he's surplus to requirements. The young defender looks like a smart move for the future, Maicon is only 3 years removed from being one of the best in the world and can only help by adding depth (and giving Zabaleta more opportunities to play on the left instead of the right) to a squad that now has the team to make a CL run despite that brutal, brutal group.

Lol Arsenal and especially Liverpool, way to do nothing and to spectacularly botch the Dempsey situation.

Liked Spurs' moves a lot this window. Love the Dempsey signing, grand larceny at this price. Happy to see they sold my beloved Giovani Dos Santos to Mallorca, hopefully he gets regular PT and shows the world how good he really is. Like the Lloris signing even though they need to dump a keeper now. He might not even start over Friedel for this season, but he's close to a top 10 keeper in the world, he's 25, and he answers questions at the position for the next 6-8 years or more if they get lucky. Kept Dawson. Losing Luka will hurt more than they know but they did a lot of things right... not sure why they didn't reach terms with Moutinho tho, that sucks.

Carroll looks like a great move so far for West Ham, killing it tonight.

Oh and I love Chelsea's offseason but think they really need some defensive depth (and someone to teach David Luiz how to defend) and must regret not signing Falcao after last night. He's one of the two or three best strikers alive right now and it seems like one of the big rich clubs should be snapping him up from Atletico.

Excited for today's game. Want to see a convincing win. Norwich beating us at home last year was maybe the most inexplicable points we gave up down the stretch. Three points behind last years pace after those first two results, need to get back on track today.

Lucky draw for Spurs, got straight worked. Embarrassing. Dembele's goal was class though. Happy there's a two week break now, they need it. Come back I don't want to see Defoe starting again, he can't be a lone striker. Dempsey added into the mix will help as well.

not overly familiar with Witsel, but spending €40m on any transfer is ridiculous.... much less spending €40m on two in one day.
