Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Well it just depends on what we do from here, if anything. I know we may have cancelled out what we've already done (combined with all the releases and Vela) but I am sure there was roughly £20 million to spend in the first place (just seems like the right kind of figure we'd have set aside).

It makes the final transfer day a bit more exciting though.

Rather we didn't ahev anything doing on deadline day. I'd prefer it be done now....however, we know how the club like to string a deal out so the other clubs die of boredom; becomming so bored that they drop the price by 50p.

[Power n Glory]

I'm actually worried that we'll sell Theo and Song on deadline day.

Me too but just look at the RVP saga to see how clubs bide their time, anything we want to do needs to at least be started now. I wish the transfer window finished much earlier tbf.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Wenger was never going to spend over £10m on a striker like Giroud to play back up to RVP. It confirms early suspicions and you've now got to wonder what Gaz and Wenger said to RVP during that meeting. The fact that we sold to the highest bidder and paid no attention to the fact that we just sold our top scorer, last season's Prem top scorer, PFA Player of the Year to the team that finished just above us in the league is shocking. It confirms that this club has no ambition and I'm pretty sure RVP got that impression from his meeting. If Man United manage to win the league this year....:fury:You'll piss and moan a little bit more than you do now every day?

[LDG]

Me too but just look at the RVP saga to see how clubs bide their time, anything we want to do needs to at least be started now. I wish the transfer window finished much earlier tbf.

Yeah. One would hope we have our little list though.

Cazorla and Giroud have been on it for some time by the looks of things, so it would seem we get our man one way or the other.

I may not trust Mr Wenger when it comes to tactics, or the shit he spins the media, but I do trust him when it comes to wheeling and dealing. There is nobody better.

[Marc Overmars]

There should be a clamour for us to buy at least 1 more player, if not 2, so roll on the next couple of weeks. It's shit that we've lost Van Persie and stand to lose Song, but I'm looking forward to seeing how we reinvent ourselves from here, having already signed some good players.

[Power n Glory]

You'll piss and moan a little bit more than you do now every day?

I won't even bother because it's deja vu. We've had massive threads on this clubs lack of ambition and a few people I'm disagreeing with now have agreed with what I've said in the past about some of the silly decisions we make.

Does Wenget have a press conference today?

I'm predicting the full WUMger bingo.

[Syn]

Absolutely. It'll be the usual shit. But the only way we can know what's going on is by looking at his expression.

If he's pissed off all interview, he'll go on a mad one and sign 5 villagers, 10pm on deadline day.

If he looks defeated and tired, he'll sign the token from Ligue 1 in the next few days and call it.

If he has the WUMface out, he's got something good lined up.

[Marc Overmars]

Hopefully it's the WUMface.

Come on Llorente. :bow:

Been an interesting summer, some excellent signings to look forward to and of course the loss of our best player to title challenging team. Would be nice to get a couple more quality signings in, to really show our intent.

24 million for RVP is a good deal at the end of the day when you consider how long he had left on his contract. Do we need a replacement, I'm not sure as we've already brought in two forwards, maybe some more defensive reinforcements would be good now.

Man Utd needed strenghtening, their forward line now looks pretty formidable, not sure about the rest of the team though, depends how highly you rate Kagawa I guess.

A couple of quotes from AFCamden

Regarding more transfers:


D‏@AFCAMDEN

Don't take Wenger's words for FV. Can be irritating, but it's how we operate in the Market. Said he didn't know who Cazorla was 2 weeks ago

And sahin:


D‏@AFCAMDEN

On Tuesday I was informed the Sahin deal hinged on the confirmation of the RVP to United deal. 1 needed to go, he was closest to exit.

RVP deal was exp to be completed Tues, got delayed until Weds. Sahin deal was in place. Things move fast in football. We'll see.

[Syn]

There's no doubt that guy is in the inner circle but he shouldn't be so explicit about the info - or whoever is passing on the message will cut him off.

[Grebbo]

And he's revealed his first name. Not wise tbh considering he makes a tidy sum from selling Arsenal players training gear and trainers etc

[Fist of Lehmann]

Sounds like a good old Mexican jack-off...

:haha:

Could get messy.

"And now señor, now I finish you."

[KSE Comedy Club]

True, but we'll take it whilst we can get it. Thats up to him to worry about tbh and it hasnt stopped him getting info so far.

Also:


Samuel J C‏@samuelj29060

Rumours that Arsenal have hijacked Sahin to Liverpool deal at the last minute....

With RVP gone we are now prepared to pay a higher % of sahin's wages. The original stumbling block.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

no offence but why the fuck do we want nuri sahin?......as a replacement for alex song.......?......no we need someone who will sit in front of the defence...i know wenger thinks defending is an invention of smaller sides who come to the emirates as part of a conspiracy to stop us winning three points....but this is ridiculous.

[Cripps_orig]

Cos hes a good player tbh

[Syn]

Yeah, from what I know of Sahin (not a lot, in fairness), he's not a type of player we're lacking but extra quality is always welcome. But then again top teams are no longer using the traditional destroyer defensive-mids. I mean Arteta could be considered a modern DM - so having another player like him (but quicker across land) would help us out a lot. But a lot depends on how much defensive responsibility Cazorla's going to take up.

[I_Killed_Kenny]

Man u hav fletcher, city have de jong n barry, chelsea have essien n mikel, spurs have parker. So the top teams do hav bog standard DM's, apart from possibly essien u wud hav to say those are allDM destroyers, just there to break up play n leave the pretty stuff to the others. We needed a DM whilst song was here n still need at least one if he goes.

Fletcher has been ill for some time and as far as I know, unlikely to return.

[I_Killed_Kenny]

He played the other nite. Point is, the top teams still do employ these types yet we dont, even if he doesnt play every game we hav no one that can do that job when called upon

http://www1.skysports.com/football/news/11670/7996600/Biglia-on-Wenger-agenda


Sky Sports understands that Arsenal have moved into pole position for Argentine international Lucas Biglia.

The 25-year-old Anderlecht player has long been on Arsene Wenger's radar, even from when he first moved to Brussels back in 2006.

Biglia has progressed well in recent seasons and now a number of Europe's top clubs are chasing his signature.

Real Madrid and Inter Milan are amongst the clubs who are keen on Biglia, along with a number of Premier League sides.

But now with Alex Song's future far from certain with Barcelona looking to snap him up, Sky Sports understands Arsenal have returned to the Biglia option.

Biglia is settled in Belgium, but he has never ruled out his desire to link-up with a club like Arsenal.

It is believed that Arsenal's interest in Nuri Sahin would be unaffected by their move for Biglia or another holding midfielder.

Confirming what we already knew

"We already recruited to replace him," claimed Wenger on French TV station TF1. "We have already recruited since we bought Giroud and Podolski, who originally were intended to offset the departure of Van Persie."

It's already been said before RVP announcement by some insiders that we are still in the market but anymore additions would be after player exits - 1 out 1 in. Also that it was to do with squad numbers and not financial reasons.

But as ever, we wait the clubs next move.

Yeah I saw Bartley a few times at Rangers and he didn't impress. Only thing he did of note was take out Scott Brown after a few minutes during the derby match vs Celtic.

[Ollie the Optimist]

a young guy kicked out of the club if you like for not being good enough, releases a statement via his twitter account with more class then our captain did.


Swansea deal complete. Very happy.. Was an extremely tough decision for me to leave arsenal, but felt the time was right...Swansea offered me an opportunity.. And I'm extremely excited to start my career here, will always be thankful to arsenal for my education..Was told my chances of game time this year would be limited, and as an ambitious young player I wanted to play in the premiership...Now I'm here I will give 100% for Swansea. Thankyou everyone who has been behind me. New chapter for me.. And I can't wait. Kyle

[McNamara That Ghost...]

£1 million apparently - not sure what we'll do with it but it's welcome I suppose.

Real Madrid midfielder Nuri Sahin, 23, has been urged to stall on a move to Liverpool by Arsenal, who hope the lure of Champions League football will persuade the ex-Dortmund star to snub the Anfield club.

Sahin and M'vila/Wanyama in, Song out - I could live with that. It's a shame it would happen just before or just as the season is starting. Why doesn't the window close before the season starts?

It's just so disappointing to see all this crap coming from players. Makes you wonder what the hell is going on. Is it just a lack of trophies and less than maximum wages? Is it the understanding that Arsenal are no longer a 'top' club - attractive in many ways yes, but no longer one who can or should expect to win trophies year in and year out? Is it just individuals doing what individuals do?

Sky Sports understands Southampton have agreed a club record deal with Bologna for Uruguay international Gaston Ramirez.

The 21-year-old had been approached by Tottenham, Liverpool and Inter Milan earlier this summer.

But now newly-promoted Southampton are on the verge of a huge coup by landing the midfielder, who has just had an excellent Olympic campaign for Uruguay.

Saints boss Nigel Adkins was looking for a big name attacking midfielder and had failed with a bid for PSV Eindhoven's Dutch international Jeremain Lens, but he switched his attentions to Ramirez and looks to have got his man.

Southampton chairman Nicola Cortese has brokered the deal, which is believed to be worth €15million (£11.8million).

Ramirez has confirmed he is ready to fly to England to conclude a move to St Mary's.
Agreement

"Bologna will tell me on Friday if I can move," he told the Corriere dello Sport.

"The truth is that I think, yes, this time I am moving. Bologna has reached an agreement with Southampton, and there are only a few details to be found but the agreement in principle is done."

Ramirez admits that Southampton have offered him very good terms, and he is happy to become a key player for them.

"The English club has reached an agreement with me, it is the classic offer that you cannot refuse for my life as a whole and my family.

"But they believe in me in every way, I will be essential and above all they are going to grow. Southampton is a newly promoted team in the English top-flight but they will become a big team in years to come.

"They have told me they are going to build and that is very stimulating."

Ignore him. Also, Jol has confirmed Dempsey wants to leave Fulham apparently.

[Unai Tea]

According to reports in L'Equipe, Arsenal have asked for permission to start talks regarding a deal for Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa. Montpellier have already rejected a bid from AC Milan for Yanga-Mbiwa and want to keep the player for this season.

Any good this pinga yanga chap?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ignore him. Also, Jol has confirmed Dempsey wants to leave Fulham apparently.

Why do I get the feeling whoever doesn't get Sahin, gets Dempsey?

he is meant to be pretty awsome apparently. Supposed to be a CB and i had thought we were ok there. LB and good RB cover is a must still. sissoko for LB and that bloke that chelsea linked with are good shouts imo

[Unai Tea]

His wiki says he primarily plays CB but can play all across the back line. That would be useful then.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Yeah CB is the least of our worries (although I was pushing for Vertonghen), we have Kos, TV5, Merts, Miquel and Gay Lion, forget Squid.

If the guy can play across the back then ok, I suppose. Have heard he is good, plenty of appearances for club and still young

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Why do I get the feeling whoever doesn't get Sahin, gets Dempsey?

And if neither of us do, Spuds will try to get one over us again.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed that there are 'serious' negotiations ongoing over his departure from Arsenal.

The striker has made it clear he does not see his future with the club, whilst Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have confirmed he does not figure in their plans.

Now the 24-year-old Denmark international is closing on his departure - with clubs in Italy, Spain, France and Germany all linked.

AC Milan are reportedly favourites, but Bendtner did not reveal who he was in talks with.

"It is not an option to stay at Arsenal, that is something neither I nor Arsenal desire," Bendtner told the Danish media.

"I am expecting that the club issue will be resolved before the transfer window is closed. There are serious negotiations going on."

The striker admitted that he already has rejected some offers, adding: "Yes, I have.

"From the start, I had three requirements. In case they are not fulfilled, I have rejected them since they are not interesting at this point."

Whilst Milan are favourites, Italian agent Francesco Di Frisco, who is one of those helping to move Bendtner, confirmed Inter Milan could also be an option.

Who the fucking hell does he think he is? You are an utter waste of oxygen and you should be in no position to reject any club that is interested in a pile of shit.

[selassie]

Sahin has agreed to join Liverpool!

We've been haggling over wages for the best part of a month apparently.

Moreover we've got a lot of rubbish on high wages currently in the squad that we can't move on.

I would've liked Sahin, he was a top top class player at Dortmund....:console:

[Marc Overmars]

Bendtner. :lol:

What a loser.

Bendtner :bow: :bow:

10.14: Toulouse left-back Cheikh M'Bengue claims Arsenal are interested in signing him.

"I still have two years on my contract and I'm a key player here. I have no clause or agreement to leave - but Arsenal is something you cannot turn down if everyone is okay," the Senegal international told L'Equipe.

"Arsenal would be awesome."

He served two long suspensions for bad tackles which injured opponents....maybe our interest is related to RVP's departure?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

SSN reporting Dempsey has refused to play for Fulham.

Not sure I'd really want him if that's true.

[Cripps_orig]

He wants to play in the CL

Must Get

[Syn]

He's really not that good. He's at his level at Fulham.

[Cripps_orig]

Hes better than all of our midfielders bar Cazorla

[GP]

He's really not that good. He's at his level at Fulham.

Pretty much. He'd be ok as backup I guess but you wouldn't want him to be your go-to guy.

[Syn]

Pretty much. He'd be ok as backup I guess but you wouldn't want him to be your go-to guy.

We've already got a dempsey. Play Arshavin at a no.10, expect little defensive cover and he'll get you Dempsey stats. It's not that difficult and no big club is after him for that reason.

[Syn]

Hes better than all of our midfielders bar Cazorla

He's more forward than midfielder.

which player?

[Munchies]

Can't seem to find the RVP thread, but found a video of his first 100 goals, and it did get me a bit sad seeing him go really. Especially remember his goal against Southampton in 2004 and the Blackburn Highbury one, but he could have been a legend here, I'd argue he's hated more than Adebayor now.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YyZ5c3m3IJI

[Syn]

Hes better than all our forwards bar Podolski

Nah, I'd back theo and giroud to do better.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Most deffo be Tello or Tiago, laugh if it was Cesc though.

[Syn]

which player?

Messi.

Nah, it's bullshit. It'll be straight cash as usual.

[Young Guns 11]

Song's gone apparently. Cleared out his locker. What a ****. He's not needed, but needs replacing with a true DM

[Munchies]

Song's gone apparently. Cleared out his locker. What a ****. He's not needed, but needs replacing with a true DM

He'll end up like Hleb.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Martín Montoya apprently is coming.

[Young Guns 11]

He'll end up like Hleb.

There's a good chance that'll happen, which is sad, really. I mean, they've already got Busquets, whose one of the best DM's about. They also have Masch, ffs

[KSE Comedy Club]

Cash +player deal for Song apparently...

I fucking hope not.

Don't want anymore barca fringe players.

Unless its Messi, give the cash and fuck off.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Martín Montoya apprently is coming.

Who?

[Cripps_orig]

Prefer Aldo tbh

[Marc Overmars]

I actually think Song could do a good job at Barca. They're bound to reign him in and sort his positional work out, as he won't last 5 minutes there playing like he does for us. If he can be disciplined, then Barca will have a very useful player on their hands because I think he could potentially become one of the best all round midfielders.





Or he could just smoke weed and end up back in Ligue 1 in 2 years.

[Young Guns 11]

I'm not sure tbh, how can they fit him in? it would mean replacing Busquets, surely?

[Unai Tea]

Montoya is a right back.

[WengerISaLizard]

Who?

A right back according to wikipedia

[Marc Overmars]

I'm not sure tbh, how can they fit him in? it would mean replacing Busquets, surely?

They win so many games at a canter anyway so they can afford to rotate as and when they please.

[WengerISaLizard]

I'm not sure tbh, how can they fit him in? it would mean replacing Busquets, surely?

not replacing, just adding to their squad depth

[Munchies]

They may also play him in defence when needed like they do to Mascherano.

[Cripps_orig]

Song :lol:

Real must be loving this

Pretty much confirmed title winners Real are if Song goes to the ****s

[KSE Comedy Club]

I still say that we will see Sahin and mvila coming in by the end of the window.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I'm not sure tbh, how can they fit him in? it would mean replacing Busquets, surely?

He'll have the Keita role.

[Young Guns 11]

They win so many games at a canter anyway so they can afford to rotate as and when they please.

Well yeah, that's what I'm saying, he isn't likely to get a starting place all that often though, is he? If that's what he wants, then fine, we're well shot.

How much did we sign him for? Less than 500k I think?

Wenger :bow: (only if he signs a DM, though..)

[Young Guns 11]

I still say that we will see Sahin and mvila coming in by the end of the window.

I'd be very happy with getting any one of the DM's we've been linked with recently, M'vila being my preferred signing.

Sahin is looking likely which wasn't related to Song anyway.

[Unai Tea]

So if all these recent comings and going are true then:

RVP, Song, Bartley, Vela out (Bendtner and hopefully a few others still to go)

Podolski, Giroud, Cazorla, Montoya in (with hopefully Sahin, M'Vila and Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa still to come in)

If that all came to pass, a very productive summer

[Unai Tea]

Well yeah, that's what I'm saying, he isn't likely to get a starting place all that often though, is he? If that's what he wants, then fine, we're well shot.

Wenger :bow: (only if he signs a DM, though..)

£2,75m

[McNamara That Ghost...]

If we do have to get a player from Barca in return (even though I hate it), Montoya would be the best out of those likely, he is a right-back after all.

[Young Guns 11]

£2,75m

Just googled - appazza it was a cool £1m

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And if neither of us do, Spuds will try to get one over us again.
Actually I didn't consider the possibility of getting neither.

It'll probably go down as you pinching Sahin off us, though if anything it would have been the other way round. :lol:

And yes, we're used to stealing etc etc...

Sahin on a loan with a view to a permanent deal. Hopefully hes as good as the last player we loaned off Real

"Arsenal hijack Liverpool's bid and swoop for Sahin" is a banker...

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal are hopeful of bringing in Nuri Sahin from Real Madrid as cover, but will also attempt to sign a natural defensive midfielder, with Yann M'Vila, Etienne Capoue, Victor Wanyama, Lucas Biglia and Kara Mbodj among their targets.

Why are we after a LB? Gibbs is looking promising, and Santos is half decent.

[Cripps_orig]

Gibbs will get injured soon and Santos is shit defensively

[selassie]

I'm not sure tbh, how can they fit him in? it would mean replacing Busquets, surely?

Song will play CB at Barca, he'll gradually phase out Puyol. He'll be class there IMHO.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Does anyone think there are grounds to the Hernadez rumour? And whether it would be a good idea?

Even though Llorente is the prefered choice, similarities with Giroud are well founded but I see Hernandez playing off the target man well.

Problem is whether UTD are really willing to sell, cant see SAF folding easily on this even if he did finally get RvP off us

[Jimmy Valmer]

Gibbs will get injured soon and Santos is shit defensively

Santos is no way near shit defensively. He was off the pace last season because it was his first season in a new league, team and all that jazz however this season I expect him to be our no.1 left back and an extremely good one at that too. Next Sylvinho. And yes that is a lazy comparison based solely on nationality...

Diaby, even though he's nothing like him, he'll be like a new signing though.

[AKBapologist]

I'm quite disappointed we're not getting Mirallas. At the moment we've got 2 center forwards, (chamakh doesn't count) you need 3 good ones to win the league.

The other problem is we don't really have one coming up the ranks, no one with the raw skill of henry or RVP, mirallas looked like he had that, and at 24 could have blossomed, that needs to be sorted ASAP
