Most players have been pretty ordinary to be fair.

Totally agree plus the fact that Ligue 1 is technically a few steps down from the EPL / La Liga as well , so just because he did fantastically for four years in France has no reference at all to how he will be in England.
Just hope JM can persuade either a 2nd winger after Henrik to join, so Martial can be another central striker, or a.n.other central striker to arrive , because imo Zlatan + Rashford on their own is too big a risk to take to get back into the CL (and yes for the moment Im completely ignoring Memphis, and umming and aahhing about Lingard who is good in short doses but nowhere near consistant enough yet to be relied on)
While this is true, Im not overly confident if Zlatan is the only central striker thats added this summer (and for the record Im really not sure about Rodrigues - as a winger or No 10 - either, esp for the £50m RM are supposedly after)
edit - as has been rumoured for a few days Embolo has joined Schalke, confirmed today.

Rumours going around that Arsenal are going to go on a £250m spending spree. Personally I think it's just DM spreading rumours to kill off Wenger

Standard rumor we get every year.

So that means we are in for Messi???
. The day Arsenal spend 250mill in a transfer window will be the day I will literally run the streets naked.
Gotta love the transfer windows summer and winter. It is such a hoot reading who we are going for and who we aren't lol.

After tonights display, if Man U do go for Draxler it looks like they might be getting a bit of a gem. They might have some competition now though.

I think the best so far is getting Bendtner on a free
Worlds best striker!
I thought he would be brilliant when he played for the youth team, he had so much promise but it never worked out for him.
All the links I have seen to Utd are doing so as a 2nd choice to Mkitaryan, with the latter deal all but done according to SSN
http://www.skysports.com/football/n...-manchester-united-transfer-at-advanced-stage
£26.3m deal to be finalised in the coming days, with personal terms already agreed.
Now to ship Mata out for the same (or more) kind of fee to Everton

Mkitaryan for <£30m would be buy of the summer.
Even on 1/2 form from last season he would be an upgrade on Mata
(Very versatile but sounds like his best position is wide right /wing)
If this goes through, I will be happy as larry (as long as we can keep him , and everyone else, fit for the entire season)

Is he really better than Draxler? I've not seen much of him
Give or take 20 goals and 30 assists for BD last season in all comps (but 5 years older)
According to all reports Draxler didnt have a very good season last time out, certainly nothing in comparison to the above (although I know he had a phenomenal game last night in the Euros)

Yeah I must admit I haven't seen a great deal of Draxler, only the odd Europe game but he's always seemed to have a spark about him.
I think what we really need to consider is, do we want to sign someone whose name is so hard to spell
