damn premier league clubs must have JACKASS stamped on their foreheads because they're always being taken for a ride. no wonder we can't outperform la liga. this money advantage is being wasted.

Biggus' 'rise of the rest' thread seems more and more relevant. I reckon the smaller clubs are making far better signings than the big ones, other than City perhaps.

Schalke have signed the boy Pierre-Emile Højbjerg on loan from Bayern Munich

Nottingham Forest have accepted a £7m bid from West Ham for Michail Antonio. Winger expected in London for talks today #nffc

Hernanes heading to Juve for 10/11 million euro, his agent will work on contract. Inter after Eder (via Di Marzio)

Nacho Monreal has started following Athletic Bilbao on Twitter 🙁

Would be great banter if that's the annoucement.

Would be wonderful. Instead of buying players, Wenger will gut the team of its starters. Give you a little bit of perspective. "Each time you moan about this or that signing, I will sell a starter!"

Would be perfect if we sold one of our best performing player this season on the last day

If we don't sign anyone we should make a new rule on here that states from 2.9.15 we will not entertain the thoughts, opinions, predictions, 'inside knowledge' of any ITK's. And the term 'ITK' should be banned throughout this forum.

Agreed?

Or we should make a separate ITK houseboat thread.

Would be epic trolling. 

Cadena SER | Nacho Monreal is an Athletic player. The announcement is all that remains.

:hmm: :hmm: :hmm:

Please no, I'd be crushed by that. Monreal's developed into a brilliant footballer. 🙁 Why would we let him leave now??!

Is that for real?
Ffs he's been our only consistently non-dysfunctional player so far this season.

😆 😆 An entire year with Kieran Gibbs as a regular. This is like signing Källström all over again, only he does it in the summer window. And Källström is already here so we don't have to sign him.

Hoping this is bullshit. What possible reason could we have to sell Monreal?

Nothing on Cadena SER about that. Just some Bilbao fan twitter account that made that up.
