Julien Draxler not even on the bench for PSG today. Wouldn't mind a straight swap for Alexis

It's since been deleted but Alexis posted something via Twitter earlier today and the geographic tag showed him to be in Paris when he posted. Tons of rumors that he is there negotiating terms to make a deal happen.

If definitely take Draxler but don't know if straight swap is fair. Draxler plus cash or Matuidi would be very nice.

Wilshere and Coquelin played for the U-23's yesterday. Looked good as did Nelson who scored 2 goals in a 3-2 win.

Coquelin, BFG and Mustafi should all be in the squad for the weekend.

Alexis should be back for Liverpool.

Jack just needs games at this point

Others rumored...
Jenks to Birmingham
Wilshire linked to Juventus, Aston Villa, Newcastle & West Ham

Our rumored incoming links...
Julian Draxler rumored out at PSG
Marco Asensio rumored to be interested in RM exit
Marcos Llorente rumored to be interested in RM exit

After the last week, I imagine Asensio is worth 250m now. Both goals in the SuperCup were insane

He has a 72m release clause. I don't see RM letting him go without a buyback though. My guess, assuming he leaves, is that he ends up at a cash strapped top 6 team in Italy either on loan or a cheaper sale with a cheap buyback.

Only 72M? Seems low compared to the rest of the squad and our b team, some of whom supposedly have 300M clauses.

I don't see him leaving though. You have no need for Mbappe and he's a crucial source of goals off the bench, great rotation for the squad for when bale pulls his vag again.

Edit: marca reports his clause is 350M with Florentino wanting to elevate it to 500M. Where did your 72M come from?

Outside of Sanchez and Koscielny, this is our strongest team IMO

Really don't like Monreal at CB. He is ok in a pinch but if he is starting games there we really ought to buy another CB.

So handball in the box, Bellerin missed pk and now a bogus offside call to cancel Lacazette's goal.

What does Ox bring to the team? I don't know a lot about the nuances of soccer and will gladly withdraw my opinion if he's better than I think.

Just not good enough, regardless of the bull**** calls. We are so unbelievably wasteful in front of goal while seemingly everyone we play goes 1-for-1 with chances.

Late viewing of maddening loss. Poor midfield turnover after start of second half leading to goal and Arsenal equalizer denied due to questionable crap offside.. At a minimum Arsenal should have walked away with one point. Although I'd still be pizzed today.

There is no question he was onside and the goal should have counted. It was not even close.

Jenks & Bramell loaned to Birmingham.
Celtic & Leeds after Akpom.
Claims that 7 clubs (Newcastle, Everton, Deportivo, Valencia, Levante, Galatasaray & Leverkusen ) have approach us for Lucas but he is holding out for Deportivo.
Rumors that we have offered Wilshire to AC Milan.

Reading the various rumors, seeing the sales we are making and the changes in formation in both league games so far, makes me think that AW will switch back to a 4-2-3-1 permanently after the window closes. Based on our current roster and a few rumored deals that I hope go down, I'm not sure that would be a bad idea. Like the 3-4-2-1 but I think the roster is built for the 4-2-3-1 and I think AW is doing his transfer business with that formation in mind. If that is true, if we can finish offloading excess and add a RB & CM, we may be in good shape moving forward. Or as good as we can be with AW at the helm.

I just finished watching the U-23 match from yesterday. I want Nelson coming on instead of Walcott at this point. He looks to be in great form and lord knows Theo is struggling. Ready to give that kid a chance

Yeah. Late challenge took him out from behind. He got up, pushed the guy who fell over and then acted like he got hit in the face when it was clearly two hands to the chest. Another City guy came flying in and he and Jack got into it. Yellow card to the guy who made the bad tackle. Jack got a red for the retaliation.
