We find ourselves in the middle of the summer transfer window and like always it has been crazy, but the good news is that we inching closer to the Premier league season kicking-off.

I'm not sure who the admin was for last years league but lets figure that out and reactivate the league.

Should be a good one!

Should be good with all of Arsenal's new signings like a 20 year old from France and......well that's it.

if Arsenal doesn't buy Suarez then Arsenal will finish 5th next year.

We got 70 million, lets buy a France U-21 and an England U-18 in Crowley.

But we're this close to Higuain! Or maybe not. Or maybe the deal's already done. Or maybe it's never going to happen. Or maybe....

Higuain, Rooney and Suarez are left and I don't see us getting any of them. United insists Rooney isn't for sale, Madrid is dicking around with Higuain it seems and Brendon Rodgers seems to think Suarez is worth 55 million.

rumors say we've bid 40 million for Suarez that will hit his release clause.

That would be awesome, however, he misses the first 6 games, plus that will take up their whole transfer budget. Need to replace Sagna, a DM because Diaby is glass, a CB because Vermaelen is hurt, and a CM because Ramsey isn't good enough.

Well as a United fan I cant tell you how much I want Rooney to F*** off! Sick to death of his whinging, tantrums and crap haircut!

Its refreshing to see Arsenal actually going after some big time players for once, whether or not they get them is another story!

Any day now, Arsenal. Any day. I'm getting nervous! Hopefully we can grab Higuain and a strong DM.

I was admin of the league last year. I'll get it set up. PM me your email if you'd like an invite.

Seems like so many Cyclone fans are Arsenal fans!!! Am i missing a connection??

I don't get it either. I still don't have a premier league team to support since Wolves went down. Maybe I'll try and get behind Sunderland. Fletcher was always a favorite at Wolves and of course I'm pulling for Jozy.

The Emirates is a top notch stadium you will love it. And the other good thing about England is that its small and trains make it easy to get anyway so make sure to travel around and see as many other stadiums as possible, especially the lower league ones..... more often or not you get the die hard fans there and not all the rich folk on corporate doo's

The Suarez rumors just won't go away, I read another article tonight about him considering a transfer to Arsenal. I don't personall believe it, but I'm mixed on the idea of bringing in Suarez, on one hand he's a proven goal scorer and overall talent but on the other hand he's a blatant diver and generally seems like a piece of ****.

Yeah I am excited to see the sport from a brand new perspective. I've loved soccer my whole life but it will be mind-blowing to see the game in an environment with people just as crazed as the people in this thread.

Thats tight, another gooner supporter here too. Im trying to go to London for spring break 2014 and catch the games against Spurs or Chelsea even though they are both on the road. Problem is ticket price for EPL games (especially those two) are outrageous.
