Looks like a busy transfer window ahead, especially with that Vlahovic-Lukaku swap. can’t wait to see how it all unfolds!
Guirassy to Tottenham, please make it happen! We need someone like him upfront
wow, Arsenal going for De Ligt? thats huge, but lets see if it actually happens, transfer rumours are always so unpredictable!
Firmino leaving so soon? didn’t expect that. he’s still got some good football in him, bet he’ll be a great asset wherever he goes
Not sure bout Hodgson, he’s been decent but maybe its time for a change? Cooper could be interesting
