That would be awesome.
It appears Drinkwater is heading to West London.
I'm more keen on Llorente at this point, he'd be perfect depth up front.
If Chelsea close with Llorente and Drinkwater, Although the same can be argued with Drinkwater, he's going to lose playing time in this switch, so not sure what the motivation is, but maybe he wants to be on the pitch to win the FA Cup or get the occasional injury/suspension start in the PL. Either way, I'll take it.
Alrighty then, Drinkwater it is.

Player and agent lied all spring and summer intention to sign new deal.
Arsenal offer highest wage on the books...? yeah... shit or get off the pot mate.
Chelsea rumored to offer 200k/week...? yeah... shit or get off the pot mate.
Ox needs to play in a WC year and hasn't convinced for his starting role at Arsenal.
Arsene-al now caught in spiral they've narrowly avoided for too long.
Time to move on for both parties.
6 years at Arsenal
154 games MISSED through injury
132 played
9 goals
14 assists
23 chances
Looks like Sanchez is headed to City (which is the only sensible move for the Gooners). You can't turn down £60 million for a player you are going to lose for nothing next season. Not that Arsenal fans will look at it rationally.
