Arsene Wenger, the only football manager that got paid 8 million quid to do nothing but sit on his arse..
Bit of talk again on getting Coutinho on loan.
Though I’m not sure how much is genuine and how much is just the media putting two and two together because of the individuals behind these players.

Regardless of the way he went about leaving, I still have an unhealthy amount of love for Coutinho
Reported that we can sign him for £9m plus Gunfloozi...
Apparently it's a three-year contract offer to Willian - that's another has-been we won't be able to get rid of for ages
I think Arteta must be tired of us pubbing around on set pieces.
Citeh have signed Ake.

Sky say they want four more signings.

They've already signed Ferran(do) Torres from Valencia.
Actually, the ludicrous story on that one was that we’d buy Coutinho for £109m and then sell them Guendouzi for £100m, all to help them get around ffp rules?!! Seriously, why would we do Barcelona any favours? Let their DNA get them out of whatever mess they’re in.Originally Posted by dazthegooner
Hadn't seen that rumour, something we should be running a mile from if true. Sounds like we've cooled on Coutinho anyway now that Willian is on his way.
Coutinho is still a brilliant player on his day, but I tend to think there’s a reason that Klopp sanctioned that move (and why it hasn’t worked out at Barca or Bryan). He’s kind of tactically inflexible in that, if you play him, then you really have to build your side around him as a 10, and that’s something most top sides seem to be moving away from these days. And he also looks like he can let his head drop at times, when things aren’t going well, and I don’t think that fit with the relentless way that Klopp likes his teams to play.
From what I’ve seen of Arteta so far, I think he has similar demands in terms of work rate and tactical / positional flexibility. I think he’ll probably favour a similar 433 to Man City and Liverpool once he’s had a chance to go shopping (and especially once we have a couple of CB who can play in a two), with most of his players able to switch between at least 2 roles (e.g. inverted fullbacks that can cover CM, 6-8s and 8-10s in midfield, attackers that can play wide or central, wingers and fullbacks that can switch, etc).
