Saw this on the Arsenal SBNation blog.. read if you enjoy the thought of Fergie getting flustered as much as I do..

As Sam touched on in the article below, Joe Allen is officially a Red now and has been introduced as such by the club.

Andy Carroll has not traveled with the team after picking up a "groin strain" or it might be a bruised ego or even cirrhosis. I'm not sure yet. After rejecting his apparently "agreed to" loan to West Ham this is potentially interesting. Especially because Dempsey has not traveled with Fulham on their preseason tour. Or I'm making mountains out of molehills.

A loan move with a view to a permanent transfer is being reported. I'm sure there will be more to follow. Click the title for more details. They're also reporting that Alberto Aquilani is indeed going to Fiorentina. So all the players a lot of us were actively rooting for are being shipped off.

Reports that Aqua has been sold for a rumored 7m pounds. It would explain why we didn't see him pay in Baltimore. Now that he is gone, what will we have to talk about every transfer window?

Chelsea captain John Terry has been charged by the Football Association for his part in last season's incident with QPR defender Anton Ferdinand.

Lucas talks about his injury, preseason, adapting to the Premier League, Brendan Rodgers, and the upcoming season.

Varying reports if it's done or not. Earlier, it was reporte Joe Allen is now a Red after a couple weeks of rumors. Transfer fee of £13.5m. See the link for details. But keep in mind that link is Goal.com, and that can mean anything. UPDATE: Apparently it is not true and Swansea are quite upset that Rodgers and Liverpool are trying to poach a player releasing this statement, "Swansea City can confirm that Liverpool have expressed an interest in Joe Allen, despite a written agreement with Liverpool not to approach any players within the 12-month period of former manager Brendan Rodgers leaving for Anfield."
