2. Felipe from Atlético Madrid (CB)
3. Jonjo Shelvey from Newcastle United
……all these guys are older and play in a “defensive capacity”. So, I think they are called in to stop stabilize the goal hemorrhaging, as they fight to stay in the Premier League
THINGS ARE GETTING OUT OF HAND AND THIS IS WHY I LOVE THE EPL!!!!!!

3. LEICESTER CITY SIGN 21 YEAR OLD NATHAN OPOKU (straight out of Syracuse)…..BUT TO BE LOANED (Belgium)
Now just waiting on Christian Pulisic to AC Milan………..lol
I wonder if Conor Gallagher got Pulisic’s move due to his injury. Newcastle seemed interested last summer…
Love to see Europe is scoring the colleges! Haters of the US system…bite it!
Oops I get Conor Gallagher and Anthony Gordon confused.
Wanted Pulisic to move so badly, hate it for him with the timing of the injury. He’s stuck at Chelsea until summer now. So hard to root for a team that just buys up every new thing they can get their hands on with no real coherent plan how to use them. How many forwards do they have now?! And how many have succeeded there in the past couple years. Guess as long as CP comes back healthy he’ll have options in the summer.
