BBC Sport Call-In
6 days and counting down to the start of the new season! This is the time to get engaged! Check who got what at page 98! Call in and let us know what you think:BBC Sport Call-In
- Which transfer captivated you this summer?
- Which club did the best business so far in the window?
- Who do you fancy to win the title race and why?
- What do you think of the promoted clubs?
Plus anything else you'd like to share!
*Note - please, no more abusive calls towards Mark Lawrenson - he doesn't listen so don't address him!*
- Javi Martinez to NUFC because I've been unable to sign him from Bayern even for 80M.
- Chelsea
- Chelsea, because I support the club.
- I HATE LEEDS.
At least you didn't lose to Galatasaray in the Champions League
I fancy Blackburn, they did great on the market so far. Leeds have spent loads but not on good players and they will waste Campbell and Ntaflas. Chelsea are very strong, Arsenal have done pretty well and might break in the top four. Man City have done weird transfers so far.
Marquinhos, because I didn't think you'd go for the other fantastic potential center back when you already had Varane and Balanta.
Chelsea have probably done the best business.
I fancy Newcastle to win it, you're the manager after all.
I would have preferred Liverpool stayed down but oh well.

City always do weird transfers regardless of manager. They've never bought Ronaldo in my save, they usually buy medicore players in their primes for big big fee.At least you didn't lose to Galatasaray in the Champions League

Two Chelsea supporters injured amid clashes in Istanbul | Football | The GuardianSorry for the off topic there, Leeds and Chelsea have a rivalry anyway, that's why. Also with Liverpool so I obviously am backing Blackburn.
- Cesc, i thought his loyalty to Arsenal in the Premier league would stop him from moving to any other team... disapointing.
- Probably Chelsea, but i like how Arsenal just got the few players he needed in the right positions, might be a good contestant for the upcoming season.
- Arsenal, Cavani and Pique will bring experience and quality.
- They deserve to be in the Premier League.
Spanish, Italian, and German league must have crappy players... everybody is moving to the Premier league!

Some of current German players have that career plan "Would prefer not to play in England" which is just sad. Likes of Reus, Kroos, Muller just won't leave Germany.

Gunners let Rodwell go after a single season
Wanyama transfer spelled the end for Jack

Sol Campbell
The Guardian, Monday 10 August 2015
Arsenal have announced the departure of midfielder Jack Rodwell (26) to newly promoted Blackburn for 4.9 million pounds. Wenger admitted Rodwell was only signed to patch-up a hole in defensive midfield until the club could arrange a more appropriate long-term signing and thanked Jack for his performances last season. The Gunners have also pocketed a tidy profit for a player they signed on a free.
Gunner fans will keep fond memories of Jack who didn't exactly shine during his single season at the Emirates but provided a solid foundation for the team to attack the top four. Rodwell played 28 games in the red and white shirt and created one goal. He missed approximately two months of the campaign to various injuries which is thought to have been a decisive factor in Wenger's decision to let him go after Wanyama joined the fold.

Jack Rodwell transfer verdict: 6.0/10 - the midfielder is worth at least a million over what the club received for him but even that was good business for a player who simply can't stay out of the injury room.

Premier League predictions: Lawro v Hugh Laurie
BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is back for the new season and will again be pitting his wits against a different guest each week.
His first opponent of the new campaign is English actor, comedian, writer, musician, director and Arsenal fan Hugh Laurie.Premier League predictions: Lawro v Hugh Laurie
BBC Sport football expert Mark Lawrenson is back for the new season and will again be pitting his wits against a different guest each week.
A correct result is worth ONE point. A correct score earns THREE points.
Manchester City - Chelsea
Hugh Laurie: I think this will be a very tight affair and can't see any side win it. 2-2.
Mark Lawrenson: I have been very impressed with the Blues business this summer while the Citizens are leaving their deals late - for this reason I'll back the guests to sneak a win. 1-2.
Fulham - Newcastle
Hugh Laurie: Hardly a surprise here. 0-3.
Mark Lawrenson: I also expect the Magpies to score big after kicking the season off with style putting five past the Red Devils. 0-5.
Leeds - Manchester United
Hugh Laurie: The Rose derby has a special meaning for the hosts and they will try their best to mark a much anticipated return to the top flight with a positive result. 1-1.
Mark Lawrenson: I am really happy Leeds are finally back where they belong but emotions aside, the Red Devils will be wanting a reaction after losing the Community Shield and drawing the line Leeds are a newly promoted team. 1-3.
Arsenal - Stoke
Hugh Laurie: We did well in the market and need to start the season positively. 2-0.
Mark Lawrenson: I will also back the Gunners for a win here but it will be difficult. 2-1.
Southampton - Tottenham
Hugh Laurie: Spurs need to be kept at bay and I have faith the Saints will do just so. 2-1.
Mark Lawrenson: The visitors have put together a massive strike force and it will deliver goals - the question is can they protect a lead. 2-4.
Last season, Lawro was precise with his predictions and completely blew his guests out of the water:
Total scores for season 2014/15:
Lawro: 145
Guests: 128

Gary Lineker: Good evening and welcome to Match of the Day for our thoughts on the 2015/16 Premier League season! It seems the race will be as tight as ever this time around and as we all know it is those direct 6-pointer clashes that play a decisive part in deciding who will fly and who will fall. For this reason we will be focusing solely on those giant games in Match of the Day. Stay with us as Alan Hansen and Alan Shearer aid me on analyzing the key aspects of what happened and why it happened for you!
Gary Lineker: The Etihad geared up for the first title contenders derby of the season as red hot favorites Chelsea came in Manchester. Fans and pundits expected a patient tactical game as neither team would have wanted to begin the campaign with a loss but it was probably Chelsea who had the slight advantage thanks to their positive moves on the market. The first half did little to disperse expectations but that quickly changed after the break when Sergio Ramos got himself sent off for a second yellow card. The Citizens appeared on track to win the encounter when Jovetic gave them the lead with less than 20 minutes to go but Chelsea struck back immediately with a Lewandowski goal and eventually held off for a valuable draw.
Alan Hansen: The red card got Mourinho out of his skin but also turned a cagey affair into a much more interesting game and the hosts tried to make the most of it. Had it not been for a lapse of concentration just after they took the lead they would have won it. They had total control over play and produced double the chances the visitors did. It comes to tell you how impressive the Blues are though - they can do well even when pushed into a corner and are still my favorite to win the title this season.
Alan Shearer: Substitute Jovetic has to be the pick of the game for me - he scored with his first touch after being introduced and got the PoM award. Courtois and Mangala both were at fault with that goal but Lewandowski did the best with the scrapes he had to work with to earn his team a point. I also thought Neymar had a poor debut for the visitors and he was rightly taken off in the second half.
Gary Lineker: It's very early to draw conclusions but what this derby tells us is the big teams will fight teeth and claws for any single point on the table. Jurgen Klopp will know his boys have missed a golden opportunity to make a flying start and even if Mourinho blasted the ref after the final whistle he will be far happier with the outcome.

Per returns to Germany
Another German to leave Arsenal is winger Lukas Podolski (30) after a 2.1 million pounds bid from Aston Villa was accepted. Lukas spent three years in London and managed 69 appearances and 21 goals. He has featured less recently and perhaps it was the right career choice to step down a level.

Summer rebuilding at Arsenal has continued after the season kicked off. Wenger earned much praise for the sensible deals the club concluded so far but players have to leave and it will hurt to hear the first through the exit door is experienced defender Per Mertesacker (30) who has been allowed to return to Germany in a 2.0 million pounds deal with Schalke. Per spent four great years with the Gunners and made 95 league appearances with five goals.

The third player Arsenal sold doesn't come as a surprise as he has been on the transfer list for some time now. Adel Taarabt (26) failed to impress during his spell at the Emirates and once Southampton lodged a 2.9 million pounds bid for him Wenger swiftly accepted it. Adel was with the Gunners for a single season but only managed six appearances from the bench without doing anything significant on the pitch.

Taarabt looks to put Arsenal spell behind his back
Per Mertesacker transfer verdict: 4.5/10 - it was obvious Per is not the player he used to be but his experience could have helped in a big season for the Gunners so he could have been given another year.
Lukas Podolski transfer verdict: 5.5/10 - the German was past his best and it was the right call to let him go.
Adel Taarabt transfer verdict: 3.5/10 - while it was correct to sell him the club took a huge loss and it will remain a mystery why he was brought in to begin with.
