football summer transfers/speculation

[Zoomerang96]

and now it looks like cesc fabregas is on his way out of arsenal too.

i might cheer for manchester united primarily, but i have loads of respect for arsenal, especially their manager. i hate what i'm seeing happen to them this summer.

i know yertle won't like this, but i say they should sell theo walcott. i just don't believe he's ever gonna turn out for some reason... don't ask why.

I think Walcott's incredibly gifted, and I'd see what's going to happen to him this season.

And seriously some of these transfer fees are ridiculous. Chopra for 5m? Baird for 3m? Man City paying 8m for that Italian, who ok scored 14 goals in Serie A last season, but when has that ever been a guarantee of Premiership success (see Mutu or Veron or Shevchenko etc.) I'm not saying it's not going to pay off, but there's some massive gambles clubs are taking - the biggest being Liverpool and Torres.

It has definitely been stupid money this season...it seems the premier league has inflated prices due to the extra tv money and the dodgy billionaire takeover club.
