As if they would!...mind you it always helps if you've got £165mill to spend just on your midfield alone!... Mata £37.1 mill Herrera £29 mill Fellaini £27.5 mill Schneiderlin £25 mill Schweinsteiger £14 mill Blind £13.8 mill Carrick £18.5 mill I haven't even included De Maria, as it looks like he's on his bike.... And that's without their atronomical wages!...

Can't believe Arsenal haven't signed an outfield player yet - I know it's early days though. Might have to rethink my prediction of them winning the league if they don't get a Defensive mid and a Striker in - which I had assumed they would. Strongest rumour seems to be Benzema, but he may be on the wum.
Me too, though I've still got no idea who half of these ****ers are. Some very obscure signings this season.
Don't worry about it. You'll get plenty of reminders about who you signed after they fall flat on their overpaid faces!

Isn't it exciting another 100 new players for the premier league clubs (and Glen Johnson). It's like the all new Daz. Just imagine the new Daz commercial but it's not Daz, it's the prem

Manchester United boss Louis van Gaal has made two £100m bids for Real Madrid winger Gareth Bale, 26, this summer. (The Sun) So, presumably, when Van Gaal offered £100 million the first time, and was told to **** off, he wasn't quite sure what Real meant, so went back a second time with the same bid (presumably, to be told to **** off a second time)?
Chelsea have told Tottenham to name their price for left-back Danny Rose, with the Blues prepared to pay £15m for the 25-year-old. (Daily Mirror) Well, if this hack has got his facts right, I'm guessing that Chelsea are going to offer up to £15 million.
Paris St-Germain defender Thiago Silva, 30, believes 27-year-old midfielder Angel Di Maria will be making a step up by moving to the French club from Manchester United. (Independent) Ouch! That's gotta hurt!
