[quote="Bully"]Lucas Torriera has signed for Arsenal

Haven’t rated him at Samp but the EPL might suit him and at that price it’s worth a punt

Well there you go, soccer expert Jim with his scouting credentials

I’m a Serie A tragic and follow it more than the EPL so have seen quite a bit of him during his time at Samp and Pescara. He has never stood out but does his job without being flashy. Doesn’t offer the attacking flair but importantly for you guys he is quite regimated and will run all day. What he produced at the WC was better than what I’ve seen him produce at league level FWIW. You got him at a bargain price so nothing lost if it doesn’t work out but I think the English style could suit him as long as he doesn’t get into any aerial or physical battles

It's better than watching Xhaka try and defend[/quote]

Exactly

Our attackers are as good as any but we haven’t had a holding mid in years, so this is a great signing imo

Along with Leno and Sokratis it’s already looking a lot more solid down back

Yeah it’s all how they adapt. Darmian was easily one of the top 3-4 defenders in Serie A and has really struggled in the EPL. I think having pace helps so in that regard Torreira may be ok

Matteo guendouzi has signed for Arsenal

The ghost of Arsene lives on.
Can’t say I know much about this lad but to pluck a bloke from the the depths of French second division football is very Wengerish

[whufc]

West Ham have signed Andriy Yarmolenko from Borussia Dortmund.

Expected to announce signing of Felipe Anderson from Lazio in the next couple of days.

where as players like pogba were purchased for a ridiculous amount, and he thinks the wolrd of himself also and he has to be fair been a bit of a flop...

so it works both ways

Had to wait until the messy saga between Sarri and Napoli played out. Should see a heap of players come in over the next few weeks

What’s everyone predictions this season

Winner- Man City
Runners Up- Liverpool
Under achievers- Tottenham (i feel like they may miss the champions league, history says a new stadium results in a slightly poorer home performance. Lots of players playing deep into WC finals shorter season preparation)

Relegation
Burnley- not sure they will have the depth to compete in both Europa and the EPL
Brighton
Watford

Surprise Packet- After all these years I’ve finally been seduced by West Ham and am buying all the hype. Very good new manager and some extremly good transfers. To finish between 6-8.

Brazilian Felipe Anderson becomes West Ham's record signing after completing his transfer from Lazio.

[JK]

Liverpool sign Shaquiri from Stoke ... Not sure about this one, but JK has managed to get the best out of most of his (non-goalkeeping) players, so hopefully this will be no different.
