For the top 6 or 7 English Clubs, what moves do you think might happen this summer?
At Arsenal I have a weird feeling we won't see much movement where people want it at DM. I think we'll get a very good calibre Centre Back, and weirdly another attacking player but not a striker . If you doubt me, come on, look at the articles on here since at least 2012, no matter what you think of Wenger he never really does what anyone thinks he would, especially with transfers. For the outgoings I reckon Podolski, Campbell and maybe a key player like Cazorla might be on their way. We haven't really sold an established star of our own volition since Van Persie and I think a solid bid might see us do it. Not necessarily Santi but maybe an attacking player on that level.
I reckon Man City are gonna go on a bit of an English spree to try and boost their home grown quota. I think there might be something in the Jordan Henderson rumours. Could easily see him moving there if Liverpool fail to get top four, think he'd be a great fit for City.
As for the other clubs I think Manchester United will splash a crapload again and it wouldn't surprise me to see a superstar like Bale move there for ridiculous money as a show signing. Wonder if they'll flop like Di Maria though. This will happen even if they don't finish top four, I think Van Gaal would be sacked if they don't and it could be an even more ridiculous summer at United than last year.
Chelsea should have a quieter summer and maybe utilise some of the talent they actually have for once rather that letting it all go but they won't and they'll probably splurge on a Pogba type that could really turn them into a force
Liverpool seem to require a few more players of real quality but I'm unsure of their capacity to do so.I'm not saying they're poor but with FFP made worse if they don't get top four they may have to sell to buy and this could happen with players like Sterling and Henderson possible moving.
Thoughts on who is gonna move this year?
Transfer Moves this summer for top 7?

Or just buy a CF. If Wenger signed Draxler and tried him as a CF and it failed then you'd be the first fan to call for Wengers head I bet.

Walcott going I can just about take... sell Wilshere and I'd start a campaign to get Wenger out the club! The thought of it sickens me.

I see movements at City, United, Real Madrid, PSG, Dortmund (Hummels).

I've said it in the past that the quickest way to catch chelsea and city is if they somehow invest less into buying good players or they get broke.
I'm praying aguero moves to real and you're is sold. That would weaken city big time in my opinion.
As for chelsea they have hazard on a long term deal so they are ok there. Surprised cuadrado is struggling a bit but he is a quality player.
I hope they miss all their other targets and still have to rely on the likes of Ramires and oscar

Dunno why we should have a quieter summer, i'm fairly sure we've been breaking even on our transfers the past year

I still fancy signing Draxler and converting him to a CF. He has Henry written all over him.

Karl Henry or Lenny Henry?
Not only is Draxler over rated just because he was linked (the whole converting him to a striker thing is an absolute joke) but he is also long term injured, and very injury prone, hardly what we need.

To be honest I stopped keeping tabs on him a while ago, so you may be right. But I was very enthused by the endless clips I saw of him and he is highly rated by some. Either way, I'd imagine it's probably dead in the water.

Not me. I've always been a staunch member of the AKB.

I think we will blow a stupid amount of money on one player ie bale or Pogba. Not necessarily a bad signing but a lot of money.
I reckon arsenal will get dybala which will annoy me as he'll be a top signing.
Henderson to City could be an interesting one to watch too...

I have a gut feeling Chelsea will try strongly to get Henderson and Coutinho at their club,as replacements for Oscar and Ramires.

Hasn't Henderson been talking about how he would love to succeed Gerrard as LFC captain? Doesn't sound like the words of someone looking to leave
