Took a while but Sane is finally confirmed. We should be pretty devastating going forward this season. So many games squandered last year by either missing great chances or making poor decisions in the final 3rd.

No idea how we shoehorn Sane, KDB, Silva, Sterling, Nasri and Nolito into the match day squad but it ain't my problem Unsurprisingly Navas rumoured to be heading back to Spain.

I read or saw somewhere that Nasri carries more weight than you at the moment.

He appears to be in Pep's bad books due to his weight, which is hardly a wise thing to do. Getting off on the wrong foot with Mr Pep can't be good, so that's maybe one less player to shoehorn in.

People have recently been comparing my physique to Nasri, and I was of course taking it as a compliment until I saw the pictures of him rocking up to pre season training. He's spent large parts of this summer in America with Lionel Richie's 17yr old daughter, maybe he's not been getting much exercise......

Yeah getting on the wrong side of Pep early doors seems foolish. I think he's willing to give everyone a chance though, within reason, so if he can get fit and proper asap then all is not lost. Pep loves intelligent footballers and Nasri is very much a Guardiola type player, but will he tolerate his attitude? Even in his late 20's he still has question marks over his mentality and attitude to the game, which is a shame as he's a very talented player when he wants to be.

I don't really have any in-depth knowledge of football, but I've always thought Nasri had an attitude problem, & I'd not be sad to see him depart these shores.

Ability is fine, but when lads like Nasri are earning the world, & come to think they are some sort of superior species, they lose their competitive edge.

A top class Manager - Arsene Wenger, say - would get rid of him..........

But give Walcott a new £140k a week contract?

We have to bow to Arsene's superior knowledge on these matters.

Well, looking at this there must be a few on the way out:

[hhyftrftdr]

I don't think we could even give Bony and Kolarov away.

Squad is shaping up nicely, roll on Sunderland

We're always shit hot after changing managers. Unlucky :-)

19 year old Gabriel Jesus now confirmed at £27million+ add ons. Looks an incredible prospect.

Pretty pleased with our dealings so far this window. A couple of moves have dragged on but they can be complicated things to iron out.

The average age of the squad was a concern last season so its good to see this being addressed. Pep getting in the kind of flexible forward thinking players he wants and trusts is important, players that should fit in the group and squad nicely.

Pretty relaxed about the whole Stones (and defensive generally) situation. As much as I liked Pellers, too often our defence had little protection from further up the pitch. Pep is a master tactician and can't see him hanging our back line out to dry. Getting and keeping Kompany fit will of course be key. Expecting to see a 3 at the back formation in some games this season and hope to concede less than the 41 we shipped last year (which was only 6 more than the best record despite the frequent accusations that we can't defend!).

Exciting times indeed.

Think I'd be worth about 12m playing against some of that defending.
