Chelsea and Conte are just simply struggling with the demands of the English schedule, if you remember last season they had no European football nor did they have Carabao cup matches as they were knocked out of that competition in September last season, they look mentally burnt out and they desperately need some rest.

If only they had 60 odd players out on loan they could try and recall to help?

Sanchez not travelled to Bournemouth.


Shame for him, it's quite nice down there. Bit cold this time of year, but there's a huge Primark if he needed to buy an emergency jacket.

That Arsenal line up is awful. If we finish below them this season it would be a disgrace, possibly the worst PL Arsenal line up I have ever seen.

That Arsenal squad without Ozil or Sanchez does... not look great
The summer is going to be very expensive for them. They'll have three key positions to fill if both Ozil and Sanchez do end up going, and because Mertesacker is retiring. Cazorla and Wilshere also have contracts up at the end of the season, although they may renew (or retire...). Then there are more contracts to renew the following year. Transfermarkt says Cech, Debuchy, Walcott, Monreal, Ramsey, Welbeck, Ospina and Giroud.

It's going to cost a fortune just to stand still. Even more if they want to actually improve.

I can't believe how much hype VVD is getting, I watch a lot of PL football and I've never thought he was more than just being a decent CB. Souness saying he's going to be a superstar after downing tools at Southampton and only playing 90 minutes so far for Liverpool. He might even be injured already.

It's like they're being run by a Spurs fan or something, they are in a ridiculous situation.

And next year, those players will look around and see Ozil and Sanchez somewhere else and wonder why they are still there. Wenger and the board have a huge task this summer. Hopefully this is the beginning of their slide into mid table.

"There's no-one in football that plays one-two's better than Jack Wilshere" - Jamie Redknapp, 2018
Even if that was true, which it certainly isn't, it's hardly a ringing endorsement, Jamie.

It's like redknapp had to find something to tag him the best at and it's the only thing unclaimed or unmentioned by others, and there's a reason why and thats because it means nothing.
