Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[Marc Overmars]

Every player is replaceable but we're not going to get sufficient quality in within 48 hours, so there's little point in selling.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Indeed and with the tax for an English player we'd make that money back anyway, probably. Plus he wouldn't be the only one sold next summer in any case, unless the new TV deals mean we won't have to operate in that way. :pray:

[Xhaka Can’t]

we rely on technical footballers and unfortunately theo isn't one. as you say- comfortability, technical prowess and intelligence is something we require from all our players and you could argue theo has none of that. everytime he gets the ball i get the feeling he doesn't really know what he's going to do with it. for example when nani gets the ball, you can see he's instantly thinking 'ill take this defender on and cross the ball to the far post'. there's a degree of coordination in his play instead of instant panic. when becks receives the ball, he's already scanned the pitch to see who's free so he can play a 30 yard pass to his teammate. there's that sense of organised thinking once again. unfortunately i dont get that feeling with theo. its almost as if he thinks 'ive just got the ball so ill run into space and see what happens'. there's no systematic plan of attack or conviction in his play. if he takes a defender on he quickly panics and looks up, hoping he can pass to a teammate. does he really know how to take a defender on? how to turn a defender inside out? how to leave him on his arse? the top wingers in the league do but theo's game is all over the place. there's been plenty of times ive seen him try take players on and bottle it, simply to turn around and play a 2 yard pass to a teammate. that tells me he doesn't really know what he wants to do with the ball and that there's no structured thought process to his attacks.

i bet deep down he wishes he went to united. i knoq its all opinion but i think he would have thrived under fergie because fergie's a manager who wouldn't take half hearted performances. he would have bulked theo up more like he done with ronaldo and had a more hands on approach to his play. wenger is very much a manager that likes to sit back and let the player learn himself. it worked with song, van persie and koscielny, but it hasn't with theo. theo needs a manager to help him when he makes the wrong decisions, a manager to guide him properly. he needs to stay behind in training sessions with one of the youth team defenders and practise his dribbling. it's a shame cause by now i expected him to become a world beater but i don't mind if he leaves. adios amigo.

And if he doesn't live up to wages then we can sell him without the pressure. We can go one or two seasons with him earning £100k. It's not as if we won't be able to sell him off after either. He's not a Denilson or Bendtner.

Gareth bale has just signed a contract last week, 5yrs -75k/week.. its the same opening offer arsenal presented to theos people and they rejected it. sell him asap. he is not a half a player bale is.go get sinclair for 6mil and we are ready to go..he dont want to stay at arsenal any more.

I agree with some of that. But I've never seen a player turn from an average dribbler to a great one. Theo is a rubbish at beating his man and he's all about quick and sudden movement. He never varies his tempo like how you see Robben do and then suddenly go for pace to take his man. He can't do it and it's down to the fact that he has a strikers instinct. Around the box, that sudden and quick touch and movement will easily scare and beat centre backs but when doubled teamed, he has nothing. Wenger should stick to his original plan and play him as a striker. A striker only needs an inch on a defender to make room for his shot.

None of the strategizing here matters. We are a player trading and revenue generating entity with the sole objective of delivering growth in the value of shares.

This. And it's the main reason some fans are getting disillusioned with the owners of our club. What they regard as "success" in the transfer window and the season as a whole is totally detached with what the fans want. And no, the fans don't want us to spend £100M on Messi, it's simply to make better use of our resources, replenish the squad and for once, not to make a profit at the end of the transfer window.

yeah agreed. with theo it's all about space, if you can get him in behind the full back he'll have a field day but now teams shut up shop knowing theo will have a shite game. the problem i have with theo playing up top is that defenders will get tight on him just like they do now, and he'll be completely ineffective as usual. or they'll play a deep line so there's no space in behind. they started doing it to van persie last season by having one centre half and a defensive midfielder tightly marking him everytime he touched the ball and it completely neutralised our attack. if theo played as a striker we would be relying on theo to show a degree of intelligence and open up space on his own, and if the last 6 years have proved anything, it's that he can do neither. what do we do then? play him as a wing back?

Have you read Arseblog today?

It's about the Theo situation.

The thing is though, Arsenal under Kroenke have shown that they won’t be led by nose or emotionally blackmailed. They will do what they think is the best thing for the club regardless of how it appears in the papers or what the fan reaction might be. Now, I certainly think they could add something of a velvet glove to the iron fist at times, and Kroenke’s continued silence about the direction of the club is a frustration, but should Arsenal allow themselves to be held to ransom by any player? If they wouldn’t countenance it from someone like Robin van Persie I seriously doubt Theo Walcott will be any more successful.

What bollocks is this? With or without Kronke, we've always operated like this and have never bowed to player pressure on contracts. Whose paying this guy to suck Kronke and co off? It's disgusting.

He's inteliigent off the ball and if defenders get too close, they could give away fouls in dangerous areas. Also, it's never down to the striker to just create space with his movement, we actually need some service and threats come from wide areas and the centre, which is the problem we're having now.

Correct. It hasn't been about the football for a long, long time. The patterns here suggest intent rather than a series of unfortunate accidents. Wenger will somehow drag another season out of whatever pieces fall once the latest round of profit taking has been concluded.

What's most amazing in terms of these "players" is the apparent freedom of players to leave whenever they please (like it was a standard job) but our inability to get rid of shits who can't do their job. If Chamakh was an accountant he'd have been sacked, because I'm sure he'd make a shit accountant. If he was a bin man he'd be sacked, because I'm sure he'd make a terrible bin man. But he can just sit here and do fuck all and take the money. How has it all become so lopsided in favour of the little whore who strut about pretending to be football players? I suppose you have to factor the insanity of this situation into the decisions made by the board. But it's ever so convenient for them, isn't it. They can flog the silver and cry at the same time.

Agreed. Theo is at his best when he doesn't have time to think. The second he's able to think it all goes to shit. He must be the thickest footballer in the game, so thick he'd be more effective if he was lobotomised.

:haha: Arseblog has become such a sycophant for the board. He never questions any of the decisions being made by the club hierarchy. When Usmanov came out with that statement after RVP said he wouldn't sign a new contract, his next blog focused purely on anti-Usmanov propaganda, and didn't make a single remark about the validity, or otherwise, of his criticisms of the current board. With regards to our transfer business, he seems completely satisfied that we're losing first team players every summer, which means we have to work to simply maintain squad numbers, rather than replenishing and supplementing the squad with additional quality which is what we should do. It's always player greed according to him, that's the only reason all these players are leaving. He may be happy with us winning the balance sheet trophy, but most of the fans aren't.

You know the best players don't think about what they're doing, it's just instinct and a split second decision. You should check out player interviews when they talk about great moments.

Well he should come alive in the final third as he's not a defender. To be fair...on his day he looks awesome...give him a bit of confidence and he's away...but I think a lot of people are pointing out his inconsistency which even he himself admits he has. Don't want to lose him....but if he doesn't want to sign a new contract on 75k or 100k whatever...then there are others who will.

Dunno man, I fink this Cabaye link has some legs.

For me he is the best central midfielder in the PL outside the top 4 bar Gerrard and Fellaini so he would be a welcome addition.

[Grebbo]

Why did Scott Sinclair's deal fall through?

I think it was because Chelsea have a sell on clause % and Swansea wanted City to pay it and not them.

Good on Theo for sticking to his guns.

He deserves £100k a week. Dont think anyone on here would dispute that unless they want to be a WUM. His quality and talent cant be questioned.

[Cripps_orig]

Don't remember Theo bagging too many goals last season to be fair...and his assist rate was only so high because Van Persie hit a purple patch. In fact has Walcott ever got more than 9 goals in one season? I am a fan of his (on his day especially) but it's pretty unforgivable the way he and his agents (his dad) have behaved after everything we've done for him...like Song, and Hleb he's perhaps been given the most leeway by Wenger of any player in the top half of the premiership. He wants out simple. No pat on the back for that I'm afraid - doesn't matter where he goes. 75k-80k is more than fair when you consider Arteta took a pay cut to play for us last season from 80-70K and I'm pretty sure Arteta was the slightly more important player. I reckon Theo is about to hit a peak...a bit like Aaron Lennon did for Spurs that season...he was pretty dismal at Leeds and then suddenly hit 24/25yrs old and became consistently good. 12million is what we paid Southhampton for him so anything less than 18million would be a disastrous sale imo. But looks like yet again we have no choice. Sign Sinclair, Navas, Dempsey, Tiote and we'll have an improved team imo.

Hes got in to double figures the last 2 seasons ....:blink:

And maybe RVPs goal record was so high cos he had Theo laying them on a plate for him. Ridiculous argument that is.

Get Sinclair and sell Theo and we have an improved? Theo is at least 78 million times better and thats being kind on Sinclair

[Marc Overmars]

What was the first offer? I doubt anyone actually knows but history suggests its a bit shit cos well Board and Wenger are tight ****s

Good on Theo for sticking to his guns.

He deserves £100k a week. Dont think anyone on here would dispute that unless they want to be a WUM. His quality and talent cant be questioned.

Of course we dont even know if he has asked for that much and history suggests he hasnt as hes a level headed guy who has never been gotten too big for his boots like a certain billy big bollocked **** who left.

Hope Theo stays

Offer was reportedly 75k but he wants 100. I'd just give him what he wants and be done with it, not worth haggling with the window about to close and season underway. Seems like he wants to stay which is refreshing to know, down to the club now to do the right thing.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Arsenal have been backed to sign Athletic Bilbao striker Fernando Llorente as speculation continues that the Gunners will bring in another forward before Friday's transfer deadline.

Arsenal have signed Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski this summer, but manager Arsene Wenger recently saw last season's top scorer Robin van Persie quit the club to join Manchester United.

Llorente has been on Arsenal's radar for some time, although the Gunners face competition from a number of clubs should they firm up their interest in the 27-year-old, with Chelsea, Juventus, Manchester City, and Tottenham all thought to be keen.

But bookmakers Sky Bet on Wednesday evening reported plenty of support for Arsenal to win the race to sign Llorente and as a result slashed his odds from 7/1 to 7/2 to be an Arsenal player before the summer transfer window closes.

The Spain international has just one year left on his current deal at San Mames, and his agent last week stated that two Premier League clubs - one from London and one from Manchester - had expressed an interest in signing the striker.

Athletic Bilbao insist a deal will only happen should Llorente's €36million buy-out clause be met.

"We have always said that a player can only leave the club on two conditions. Either the club no longer wants the player or another club pays their buy-out clause, and neither of those conditions have been met," Bilbao president Josu Urrutia told Canal Plus.

And he insisted: "We have not held negotiations for Llorente. We have said what we think and the rumours are of no interest to us."

Wenger has already confirmed he is interested in signing a defender and a midfielder before the transfer deadline.

The summer transfer window closes at 23:00 BST on Friday.

Juventus and Fiorentina have confirmed Dimitar Berbatov has rejected moves to the club amid reports he is poised to join Fulham.
Fiorentina (http://topics.skysports.com/fiorentina/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif were in pole position to land Berbatov (http://topics.skysports.com/Dimitar+Berbatov/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif after agreeing a deal with Manchester United (http://topics.skysports.com/Manchester+United/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif earlier on Wednesday.
The Bulgarian flew out to Italy for talks and a medical at Fiorentina but failed to turn up at Florence after Juventus (http://topics.skysports.com/juventus/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif hijacked the move for Berbatov.

However, in another twist Berbatov has snubbed a switch to Italian champions after an apparent last-minute move by Fulham. (http://topics.skysports.com/fulham/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif
Fiorentina have issused a withering statement hitting out Berbatov's conduct following his snub to the Viola.
"ACF Fiorentina announce that the transfer for Dimitar Berbatov definitively collapsed after an agreement with Manchester United had been concluded (with shared exchange of contracts, the first instalment paid and the financial guarantees for the second instalment ratified) and after reaching a verbal agreement with the player over his contract," read a club statement.
"During today the English club had allowed their player the written permission to come to Florence for a medical and to sign his contract.
"The player got on the flight with his agent and on tickets paid for by Fiorentina. He never arrived in Florence.
Outlandish & arrogant"This was down to outlandish and arrogant behaviour of other clubs, who have nothing to do with fair play and sporting ethics that go even beyond the confines of fairness.
"As for the player, apart from his characteristics and his value on the field, at this stage we are happy he didn't come to Fiorentina. He did not deserve our city, to wear our jersey or the values that represent it."
Juventus sporting director, Beppe Marotta, claims Berbatov opted against the move to Juventus as he wants to stay in England for family reasons.
"It hasn't been a refusal. Berbatov prefers remaining in England due to family reasons," Marotta told Sky Sport Italia. "We have contacted him after we knew he refused the Fiorentina move.
"I reject the allegations from Fiorentina. We entered into the business over Berbatov when we heard that he had refused Fiorentina, and in the meantime there was a proposal by Fulham.
"I've spoken with Man Utd's chief officer. We knew their decision to sell Berbatov and we started a normal move.
"We wanted to take advantage from this occasion. The aim is to improve ourselves."
It seems Berbatov is now due to hold talks with Fulham with Martin Jol a big fan of the forward having worked with him during his time in charge of Tottenham.

Knew we'd not Sell Shitmackh before tommrow tbh or Squid.

[I_Killed_Kenny]

I also can't understand why we have to make a profit every transfer window. If that's the case our finances are fucked up more than the club's letting on.

This.

Why cant we have a splurge every 2 years. not asking each season to make a loss, but every other season have a splash on some top players and the season afte have a quiet window. Who knows, we may have won something if we actually went for it once in a while! speculate to accumalate

I was being little bit simplistic, tbf.

I can't really say what we have to spend, it's far too complicated.

It's all fucked up anyway. The rich get richer, we plough our money in, and what happens on the pitch is of secondary consideration to everything else.

[server too busy!]

I know our wage bill is something that is detrimental to our ability to sign players but we keep getting rid of the big earners, that has to start counting for something in these transfer windows. We're also in the process of getting rid of a lot of deadwood so again their wages are off the wage bill.

Make some signings motherfuckers! DF, DM and ST!!!

[Joker]

Apparently we have 17 non homegrown players at the moment, the maximum allowed. Someone's going to have leave if we're looking to add anyone.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Some Gtegoey van der Weil rumours flying around. . .would be welcome

Squillaci, Chamakh, Bendtner, Arshavin and Park should all help in that department

You could be on to something, maybe we don't have as much money as they seem to tell us, which where they need to be honest. Or the board and the manager are a bunch of greedy mofo's who see that profit as a way to put that money in their pockets.

You don't need to spend big to win things, we deffo did not need to splash out millions ot beat brum in the CC final. With the teams we have had over the last 7 years we should have easily won the CC or fa cup and even the league once or twice.

[Niall_Quinn]

Kroenke will not have bought without knowing he can make a return on his investment. He saw the way the previous shareholders milked the club and exited at the optimum moment, he says he's not going to change anything and why would he? So we continue to use the team as a profit generator and share price inflater. Wenger's ability to keep us in the CL, the huge prices being extracted from the fans and the annual raping of the team, plus the fact the various commercial deals have margins that can be improved significantly tells us Kroenke has got his maths right and will do very well when he takes his profits. He will need to ensure the bubble he is creating doesn't pop before he cashes in, of course.

Dude, that profit does not go into their pockets, else they would have to declare a dividend, which to mind knowledge hasn't happened in a while.

As N_Q and others keep on saying, it's the share price they are driving up, and at some point all of them will get their pay day.

People need to stop equating profit with cash.

Fuck me, even the media do it. It's ridiculous.

Just the deal to be done with Arsenal now.

It's not ideal, but I think it is best to remain calm until the window shuts. Arsenal are active and have enquired for numerous players.

Totally agree, Id just rather We were told no one was coming in, instead of the BS from Wenger about players may come in etc. And its clever cause he'll say well id said may not definate.

But im off tommrow so i'll enjoy DLD regardless. Ill be watching SS all day lol.

Me too, Wenger will probably come out with stuff like he was close to signing 3 players on deadline day or some mumbo jumbo like that.

The way Arsenal talks about making a transfer is like it's some sort of "complexed scientific experiment".

That team didn't win anything but maybe it would have had it been supplemented with a few quality players rather than dismantled and sold off piece by piece.
Agreed...but they didn't share that vision did they? It's not as if Wenger woke up one morning and said 'hey I'm going to dismantle the team I've worked so patiently to build'...Not one of them showed the sort of loyalty Wenger showed to them...not one. Adebayor couldn't wait to leave once he'd been taught to actually shoot at the goal, Toure couldn't be professional enough to work with Gallas, Clichy missed Toure and Adebayor, Cesc cried and cried, Nasri cried over Cesc and Van Persie and Song...well what can I say there? Footballer's today...that's what the article should have been about.

[Niall_Quinn]

All the talk of these seven figure targets from this club or that. We're already suffering the newcomers "bedding-in", what's required is a solid pro who can hit the ground running, like Arteta. Dempsey is the player who fits the bill, the obvious choice. Like Alonso before him. All these other names are potentially the next Gervinho in waiting, more likely that than the next Thierry Henry. We know what we will get with Dempsey and he'll also give us the option to transit away from this silly Barca-lite style we insist on playing (badly) to something more suited to the league we are playing in. MVilla, Llorente, any of the other unrealistic names - even if we signed them are we ready to say, let's give them time, as the points ebb away? We must be patient, patient, seven, eight years patient. Let's just be smart for a change. Pick up the phone to Dempsey now, give him what he wants and get him suited up for the next match - FFS. He might do very well paired with Giroud and give the latter a bit of support while he gets up to speed.

And if those wasters Chamakh, Bendtner, Park, Denilson, etc, etc, are still her come Saturday morning then that's a scandal. A massive scandal. I don't get it, why don't we just pay somebody to take them? Get them off the wage bill so when Ox looks at Theo and Jack knocks on the door we can pay them what;s required to keep them - for a change. Those are the players we should be thinking about now. Give it one to two years and we're back in the Cesc, RvP, Theo, Nasri zone again. Free up the cash now, get the deadbeats out the door. And don't bring any more in.

I am just hoping this happens...in fact I've been hoping this happens before the summer....if it means waiting til tomorrow then fine...but for the love of god please get Dempsey in an Arsenal shirt.

Repaint it on the halfway line.

If those outgoings were all permanent, it probably calls for a party. Yeah, in the grand scheme of things it's lame and we need more players, but the freeloaders pissing off for good? It would be phenomenal.

But don't forget we still as well have Squillaci :doh:

You can if you pay him up or make a convincing case for breach of contract - which is what Chamakh has done each time he has taken to the field. But obviously paying him up is exactly what we should be trying to avoid. If we took half that hit by paying a club to take him we'd be better off. Our fault he's on stupid money and nobody else will take sub a sub-standard lump of shit on those kid of wages. The guy must have no shame but to extract ourselves from this arrangement our stupidity is going to cost us one way or the other. Get it over and done with and save some money in the long run.
