Madrid's biggest issue is that they have no manager lined up yet, and a lot of their players are on the way out. As hard as it is to imagine them falling out of the top 3 next season, they don't look to be pressing for the #1 spot. That was probably a big factor for Neymar. That and the money from Madrid probably had to be spaced out over a long period of time in order to avoid FFP violations.

Currently for sale:
Di Maria
Coentrao
Pepe
Rumors that Alonso will go to Italy
Higuain to Juventus a done deal


Meanwhile, The Tinkerer has claimed that Moneyco is the new Chelsea. They bought that pair from Porto, and are about to have Radamel Falcao, who was also from Porto. Perhaps they want to be Porto? Strong rumors that they are going to sign Victor Valdes, a shit keeper by most accounts. Much like a rich person buys an ugly Versace shirt that should never be worn, Monaco is looking to field Valdes...

One other interesting rumor is that Petr Cech is on Arsenal's radar - this wouldn't be a hard swoop because Chelsea have Thibault Courtois playing on fire in Atletico.

Chelsea are also finally going to unload Malouda, who they didn't use at all last season. He's likely going home to Lyon. Also a possibility that Chelsea offload Torres this summer. Atletico need to replace Falcao. Torres would probably love to go back to Atletico. Any striker at Atletico seems to flourish.

Arsenal may be selling Gervinho to Lyon. They want Grenier really bad - a lot of teams do. Gervinho might be part of a player+cash deal to pry him. I think Arsenal would be smarter to sign Gourcuff. Gourcuff was great before he went to Lyon, L1 POY with Bordeaux back in 2009 I think, and since then he has struggled in the Lyon system. Wenger could give him a new life.

Luis Suarez to Madrid.

A big bidding war for Dejan Lovren, from Lyon.

Arsene Wenger has hinted he could make a sensational summer swoop for Wayne Rooney.

Arsenal are reportedly winning the race to sign Marouane Fellaini from Everton ahead of Manchester United and Chelski.

Arsenal are going to repair Fellaini and Arteta, with Cazorla, Wilshire, Walcott and Podolski?

That will be one of the top 2 midfields in the PL, neck and neck with Chelsea.

I have been hoping for some time now that somehow Fellaini would be linked with Arsenal. He would be that rock that they have been missing in the midfield that could defend and attack when needed and would also be a great addition for set pieces.

maybe. There are a few other holes. The real exciting possibility is getting Julio Cesar from QPR to guard the woodwork. Not sure you got to see him play, but that guy was probably the best part of a terrible disaster of a team. Arsene may as well go for Remy Loic too.

Arsenal don't need a complete revamp, just missing a few acquisition's and there will be no doubt in my mind will be title contender's again.

1. Higuain
2. Fellaini
4. Cesar
5. RB if sagna leaves

One component that Arsenal lack is on the medical and conditioning side. They should really consider bringing in Luis Enrique or someone like that to help make the team more fit. The players can run fast and do everything right at Week 1, but after that it's all pulled groins and hamstrings. A season where Vermaelen, Wilshire, Walcott and Rosicky are actually fit for over 30 fixtures would be a first.

I see your point, and sometimes i think we are getting injuries and stupid little ones as well, but i think with the style we play we have to expect it.

A valid suggestion about Arsenal being injury prone. We do seem to have by far the worst luck with injuries.

Edoardo broken leg aside, I wonder if many of the "injuries" are fake - excuses to hold a player out of the line up towards a transfer out. I get the idea that as soon as Vermaelen leaves, he'll play 38 straight matches, 3400 minutes.

It may hold some truth with what you say as RVP made 48 appearances in all competition's for Manchester United last season and I do not remember him playing that many games for us in just one season.

Van Persie missed almost an entire year of action in his final five years at Arsenal with a succession of knee and ankle problems.

Monaco would be willing to pay a world record transfer fee of £85m for Cristiano Ronaldo and offer him a mind-boggling wage of €20m-a-year (£17m) which is made all the more attractive for the player due to Monaco's tax haven status.

Arsenal have finally joined the Premier League’s biggest spenders after finalising a record-breaking deal to sign Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain that could be worth a staggering £50million.

And the club’s billionaire shareholder Alisher Usmanov has also urged manager Arsene Wenger to keep splashing the cash with a move for Wayne Rooney.

good for them, Higuain should do well there. He never really got a fair go of it at RM.
