    Jack Wilshere is supposedly going out on loan? Didn't Joel Campbell also get loaned? Since when is Arsenal's squad so deep they can be giving away their midfielders? Gnabry is going out on loan too.

    And Chambers is going on loan too? Has Wenger lost his mind!? If there's one place they have no depth, it's in their back line.

    It seems like they have 12 million midfielders and zero backup strikers or defenders.

    They've got one now. Lucas Perez. 17 goals and 8 assists at Deportivo last season, but only a 7.1 rating. With a good team behind him, he might be more involved, and he'll need to be at Arsenal.

    Protests being held outside Melwood (liverpools training complex) for the next 2 days. They want FSG out. It has long been felt that the American owners have no interest in progressing LFC's fortunes on the pitch or financing it, merely they are only interested in maximising profit and selling the club for profit at a future date.

    I am not swayed either way, but the figures below don't lie, they show LFC don't spend a lot of new money, in terms of transfers LFC have only spent £37m in the last 3 seasons.

    I was exaggerating a bit.

    Campbell went to Sporting CP. I think Arsenal made a mistake there.
    Gnabry is being sold to Bayern Munich and then loaned out to Bremen according to ESPN.

    I agree that Liverpool could easily spend more to make the club more successful, but we've put some big money on terrible players or terrible fits.

    I think we're under the right coach to have long term success. But that's not to say the club is a finished product.

    I think so too. Campbell is a really good high potential player.

    Bony to Stoke on loan.

    Islam Slimani to Leicester City.

    Apparently Luiz might be going back to Chelsea. WTF?
