Really? Haha, but it doesn't mean that we'll get him. He hasn't made anything formal but apparently Baines has been pushing for a transfer since day 1.
Gotta agree with Nuke on Bale, but as Pellegrini (And I'm sure most of Madrid's other managers) said after he was fired, the "Galacticos" policy means you get the most expensive players, not the ones you need. I mean c'mon, did they really need Isco? Özil's absolutely class - good for Arsenal getting him, even if it means that Santi Cazorla's going to get pushed out of position (although let's be honest, Wilshere's only going to be challenging for a spot in the midfield trio for about half their games, isn't he?).
Also loving that Arsenal have attempted to solve their goalkeeper problem by spending exactly £0 on Viviano xD. Personally I think a cheeky bid for Casillas was in order - he's been frozen out for over 6 months now, and there'd be great irony if in order to finance Bale's move Madrid became a selling club - to Arsenal of all people.
Lukaku's been loaned to Everton. Kinda saw that coming, particularly after he missed his penalty in the Supercup on the same day Eto'o was signed.
OH MY GOD WE GOT COENTRAO! Just seen that, missed all this action at work. I'm really glad, he's a great signing even if it is just a loan (and probably stop-gap for Baines, despite the fact that Coentrao's younger and therefore a better signing). He'll either force Evra out or make him step up his game another level. Plus hopefully having another portuguese-speaker will somehow have a positive effect on Nani and Anderson.
Fellaini or Herrera? Both great players, depends whether we want to pass through teams (Herrera) or break bones (Fellaini) xD.
