Breaking news: Yossi Benayoun is in talks with Arsenal over a potential loan move from Chelsea, Sky Sports sources understand. Stay with us for the full story.

Lol are Arsenal THAT cheap they won't buy him?

I'm happy if that's the case. He's quality, I want him to stay. He's just got so much competition for that spot in the squad. You're right though, they've got a shit load of money from selling their players but Wenger is like anti-spend.

Raul Meireles has handed in a transfer request at Liverpool Holy fuck

[mecuryball]

Yossi Benayoun confirms his move to Arsenal on Twitter: "I sign with arsenal,very happy and excited about it,but now my head is only in the game against grecce on friday,thanks for the support."




And Liverpool officially confirm the signing of Bellamy.

We have indeed signed Meireles! Let's hope he slots right in and offers a lot to the club!

I can't believe Liverpool let Meireles go for £12 million.

I honestly haven't payed that much attention to the way Raul plays, can anyone sum it up?

[dR3]

There's not much to see on that video to be honest, let's just hope he does good at Chelsea. Welcome and good luck Raul!

And good luck to Yossi as well, too bad he couldn't prove himself last season.

Hope Meireles turns out as good as the other Liverpool players Chelsea has signed

I'm not going to lie, I'm super disappointing in Torres. When we signed him, my mate was saying he's another Shevchenko. I said "Nah, it's different this time. He has had experience in the premiership." Turns out he's not playing that much better than Shev lol.

Yeah he's been playing a lot better recently but come on, £50m and one goal from 20+ games? It's ridiculous. I hope he finds his form, because if he does, he'll be lethal. I'm sure AVB will help him find it.

Who else sort of dislikes the international break? I prefer watching Chelsea play than England tbh.. I mean when it is the actual Euro/World Cup I'll be watching it like a hawk but I'm not too big on qualifiers.

whos behind bosingwa?

Any other season ticket holders in this thread?

The majority here seem to support the top 4 teams in the premiership so I imagine it would cost an arm and a leg.
