Alexis in London for his medical.

Evra to Juve which basically means we don't have any defenders next year

Don't worry thats why you hired a tactical genius. Your going to play like Barca. No defenders and even when you lose all competitions you still will not buy any Defenders.

Tactical Genius who will sub the goal-keeper in injury time just in case there is a late penalty awarded....oh wait, late penalty against Man Utd? what the hell am I thinking? (I will get called a hater for this again hence the smiley)
Jon, didn't you buy Luke Shaw or someone like that... who is also a left back?
Apparently Daley Blind is also on his way there from the rumours.

For Barça, it is nowofficial that Alexis is a Gunner. I think 40mil euros is a great deal for FCB and basically subsidized the Suarez deal...but the problem is perhaps Pedro is the one who should have been on the way considering that Neymar won't be back to match fitness to begin the season and Suarez won't be playing till Oct.
Still no defenders but Mathieu from Valencia and Hummels have been mentioned. Hummels would be a good signing but doubt it will happen. Xavi is the big unknown as it seems he has also decided to leave (MLS!)

No Hummels please.

Thank you

With Suarez at Barca I'll have to downgrade them from 'neutral' to 'strong dislike'. I wish them bad luck .

Liverpool Statement:
http://www.liverpoolfc.com/news/late...gers-on-suarez
"I am confident we will improve the team further and will be stronger for this coming season, when we will be competing on all fronts; domestically and in the greatest club competition in the world, the Champions League.
"If there is one thing the history of this great club teaches us, it is that Liverpool FC is bigger than any individual. I hope our supporters continue to dream and believe that we are moving forward and with continued improvement and progression, together we will bring the success we all crave and deserve."
- Brendan Rodgers, 11th July 2014

I'm not sure if that's a backhander or not... maybe it is. Cash inwards and a liability gone? Looks like the biting problem might have moved on.

Yeah I am not sure the deal comes at the best time for Barca but I guess better play here than for RealM which was the only other realistic option for him. Whatever the money in (and LFC seem to be on a spending spree anyways) they will miss a true genius in front of the goal. Only good thing is Barca aren't paying crazy money like the Bale thing last year (and they definitely have generated a lot of money with Sanchez and Fabregas gone)

I see the Champions League & Europa League have started this last week.

Gibraltars Champions Lincoln Red Imps lost 3-6 on Agg to HB of the Faroe Islands. An honour though as the first Gibraltan team to play a senior competitive match.

Also the San Marino Champions even lost 8-0 in a 1st Qualifying Round tie v an Estonian Club side Levadia Tallin.

A new season begins
