Nice writeup. I love how informed you keep me!
Man, I sure hope Coutinho stays in the EPL. As much as I dislike Loserpool, he is an absolute joy to watch and we just don't get to see many of the La Liga games in my neck of the woods.
It'll be good to have Chicharito back in the EPL. I've always liked him.
Holy cow - Man City has spent some big bucks this season. Do you have a total on how much they have spent so far?
what do you think Arsenal will buy any new defender in this window or Sead Kolasinac is enough?
May be Thomas Lemar?
Can't wait for the football to start
Hope Coutinho doesn't leave Liverpool.
What a crazy transfer window... the amount paid for fullbacks / defenders... is mind boggling.... also West Ham pulled off a major coup in signing Hernandez and hopefully a great season for them..
