Working for Liverpool.

Regarding the Arsenal midfield problem any other manager would have resolved it but Wenger will have faith in Wilshere even if he has a leg amputated.

A friend of mine who worked on the Pogba reveal video 4 days before it was announced and had to sign a NDA etc is telling me ‘he has a very strong feeling Sánchez to United is already done’ so take from that what you will.

Ornstein did a post about it. Apparently it’s an honest-to-god swap deal that is close to happening. Only hold up is Mkhitaryan, who understandably is not to keen on playing for Arsenal.

Walcott is almost done, too.

The whole Mike Ashley thing is weird because the longer he leaves it the less the club will be worth, time is literally against him right now. Hanging on for a higher offer while the transfer window shrinks is a dangerous game. So is vomiting in a pub fireplace so what do I know.

he was hoping to get multiple bidders to drive the price up because of the tv money. then 1 group did due diligence and saw the club isn't worth anywhere near what he wants and bid nowhere near it and nobody else got involved

Surely the sensible move now is to sell and cut his losses as either scenario will cost him millions?

Hasn’t he made an absolute fortune being an rear end in a top hat who holds out when everyone tells him to cut his losses? He probably approaches the club like he approaches his other businesses.

he does it by buying well known but poorly performing brands cheaply and running the brand into the ground before moving on to the next brand

I love that the Alexis transfer hinges on Mkhitaryan. Wenger loves a lousy swap deal. Cole for Gallas, Reyes for Baptista.

Supposedly they were going to give Sanchez his crazy money, so I assume they have earmarked some big wages for his replacement. Aubameyang seems to be melting down at Dortmund, too.

Counterpoint: Arsenal's squad is insanely bad and there are much better teams in the Europa League this season as opposed to last.

Shop around for doctors! Always fucking shop for doctors. Doctors are stupid assholes. And they get by because people are cowed by their mystical bullshit quality of being able to maintain a 3.0 GPA at some Guatemalan medical college for 3 semesters. Find one that makes sense.

I can't decide if having United get significantly better with Alexis is worth the comedy of watching Arsenal fail even more spectacularly as they try to replace Alexis with loving Mkhitaryan.
