Yes, but I do not see that FFP somehow helps or prevent spend a lot of money by teams like ManCity for example. Maybe they get some fine (penalty), we will see  | |

I think Financial Fairplay is just a gimmick. They want people to believe that it will stop teams like man city buying the premier league, but the most they do is give those clubs a small fine. I know this is rich coming from a chelsea fan, but its just annoying to see a club spend 200 Million while offloading absolutely no one. At least the other teams that spend big actually offload money to bring in money for the transfers  | |

They've been a bit busier than you might think, brought in about 45million in sales and loan fees | |

Mostly, but we're still missing a great left back, which has been the case for 4 years... | |

More no than yes, because I hope that come some top striker to Arsenal, for expample, speculated about Benzema, Cavani, but now it looks we probably today not bring anyone. So, we have to handle with Giroud, Welbeck and Walcott...  | |

Virgil Van Dijk has just signed and we needed a new centre back especially as I haven't been overly convinced by Caulker yet.
We seem to have a bit more depth in the squad this season (although Schneiderlin is still going to be missed) which will allow us to cope with all the games in the Premier and Europa League. | |

Not sure why they sold Lopes. I hope they've got some kind of buy back clause in that deal; he looked a good player. | |

Add in loan fees for dzeko and jovetic, and the wage cap they've freed up | |

Damn it LVG ... we need a striker. And a keeper as well. Rooney's been awful and Romero? Even worse ...  Also, we have to resolve the De Gea issue. De Gea's a good keeper.
~ We're overflowing with midfielders BTW ~
~ Perhaps we should put Depay as a striker ~
~ NO I'M KIDDING ~ | |

| Premier League is back after international break, so, how results do you expect in the next gameweek? There are some interesting matches, such as Everton - Chelsea, Crystal Palace - ManCity, ManUtd - Liverpool. My prediction is, EVE 1:2 CHE, CRY.PAL. 0:2 MCITY, MANUTD 0:0 LIV. Crystal Palace is very good so far, but I think, that on City it will not be enough. And, of course, I prediction Arsenal win at home against Stoke. | |

Stoke will just beat Arsenal up like they usually do. | |

I think Palace will get a goal against Man City but City will still win 2-1. It'll be interesting to see if De Bruyne plays today or if they stick with a winning team. | |
