Gab Marcotti reveals which clubs succeeded and failed in their summer transfer window endeavours.

Gab Marcotti reviews Barcelona’s failed pursuit of Coutinho and evaluates the club’s reasoning for their lack of signings.
Premier League clubs are set to discuss and vote on a proposal to move the deadline for the league’s summer transfer window to before the start on the season at a shareholders’ meeting on Sept. 7.

As Virgil van Dijk’s transfer saga took a strange twist today, Shaka Hislop doesn’t understand Liverpool’s odd statement.
Liverpool have abandoned their hopes of signing Virgil van Dijk and apologised to Southampton for “any misunderstanding” over their interest after they were accused of “tapping up” the player.

The FC crew criticise Arsene Wenger’s inability to move past Arsenal’s Champions League exit against Bayern Munich.

Arsene Wenger says the protests from Arsenal fans will have some influence when he makes a decision over his future.

After a day to digest what happened to Arsenal, Craig Burley and the FC panel’s view on Arsene Wenger isn’t any prettier.

Stevie Nicol reflects back on his coaching days after Alexis Sanchez’s recent falling out with Arsene Wenger. It’s about “taking back control,” reclaiming sovereignty from a European power structure many feel has outlived its usefulness and outstayed its welcome. No, this isn’t Brexit… this is Arsenal fans and Arsene Wenger.
Saturday’s anti-Wenger demonstration ahead of the 5-0 FA Cup win over non-league Lincoln City — the second to be staged outside the Emirates Stadium this week, which included a ‘Wexit’ banner — was the latest manifestation of a hitherto marginalised group trying to get its voice…
