    No reason to remove Mangala from the starting XI right now, but Otamendi is a much better alternative than Demichelis.

    Leverkusen worked on the Aranguiz transfer for months, finally bought him and now he tore his achilles heel in practice, wow. Didn't even get to play in a league game.

    Borussia is a cray team, can have enormous success like Championsleague Final one year or be at the bottom of the Bundesliga the next year.

    They probably do not have enough depth to do well in both leagues.

    I disagree. I think Tuchel has them playing at much more reasonable pace than Klopp did and it will help drive down the amount of injuries they faced over the last couple of years. I like Klopp but damn, that "heavy metal" football really hampered the squad last two years. Least with Tuchel, they have a calmer possession game after they go up a goal or two. TT will be a huge success at BVB, IMO.

    As for greatest impact in the EPL, I'm going with Memphis. He's got that swagger that we haven't seen since Ronaldo and seems like he's got the right attitude to succeed under LVG.

    Who made this r****ded list and put on Njie (who?), Inler and Thauvin (who ?) there instead of Schweinsteiger, Depay, Sterling, Schneiderlin, etc?

    Probably a Chelsea fan that wanted to make his club look good.

    I'm guessing they are basing it off the newest tranfers that just took place

    LVG hinted that Schweinsteiger might get the start tomorrow. Just letting the Bayern guys here know in case they were interested in watching.

    If Basti stays healthy, he will dominate in the EPL. He just needs a few more people who can actually play football around him...

    United won't be able to do much when you have the black hole that is Rooney up top. His current form is atrocious. Every ball that gets played in to him kills the possession. He either loses it off of a bad touch, or plays a terrible pass. Saw a stat today that it has been nearly 13 hours of game play since he last scored a goal.

    Clinton N'Jie is a promising Cameroon striker transferring from Lyonnais to Spurs

    Florian Thauvin another French U21 prospect who played for Marseilles - Newcastle

    Inler the veteran and Swiss World Cup starter, their Captain
