"Also Oxlade chamberlain to Liverpool seems a bit of overkill, wondering who he displaces in that midfield. Not a replacement for coutinho is he?"
It's a squad game and there are four competitions. AOC's metrics for chance creation passes are good, his pace is good and he can provide cover for the speed merchants up front in Mane and Salah as well cover for Wijnaldum in the middle and also do the wing back that Milner did. He is Milner's long term replacement. His injury record is a concern but then again you could make the point that is an Arsene/Arsenal problem. The fact he opted for a 1/3 pay drop from where he is and turned down the champions to goto Liverpool means something in this day and age. A little time working with Klopp and he'll surprise a few, I think.

Ah got you. He's a replacement for Milner . Fine.
Llorente question. can't say. But from what I have seen he won't do what janssen does. Llorente is more like Kane. big belief and confidence in his ability. And I reckon he would score goals at spurs

Was reading he didn't take a pay drop, terms offered by Arsenal was £60k more than liverpools offer, but the Liverpool offer was still £40k more than he was on anyway.. willing to be corrected by @andyp on this.
So he was leaving imaginary money on the table, rather than taking a pay cut. And he's young enough to know if he kicks on there's another big money move in his future..

Just saw this is a possibility, and was amazed. Having clement as your manager does come with some benefits. And hopefully sanches gets the chance to show why Bayern paid so much for him.

Also also aurier gets a work permit, so should be winging his way across the channel. Just waiting for that last minute levy deal, hoping it's more van der vaart than sissoko though..
