Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

tbf can't say i knew who he was back then but in hindsight seems like a dumb move, but we should have got him when he was at porto though.

Oh well whats done is done.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Pathetic the way we're not in for anyone. Wenger genuinely feels we have the answer in that crock Diaby. Who exactly is going to be our ball winner - oh yeh Rosicky lol.

No its Frimpong who he feels can cover and id say Jack too. We need a striker more then a midfilder andways.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cleverly done this year. Get some signings in early, make it look like things have changed, then sell the key players out from under the team. More profits, another con job, raise the prices again maybe, get more corporate types in and fuck the fans out of it. Ideally go for an empty stadium but with every ticket sold. Will be pretty cheap maintaining an empty stadium. More lovely profits. You can't say these boys don't know how to turn a trick.

Oh yes and you know we will be teasd in the jan window with signings but we all know the draw.

Arsenal's Ghanaian midfielder Emmanuel Frimpong tweets: "If Michael Essien did ever come to Arsenal I would be the happiest man in the world. My role model. Love him."

Arshavin will not leave "Arsenal" during the summer transfer window
Russian forward Andrei Arshavin during the summer transfer window London "Arsenal" will not leave. Told he 31-year-old in an interview with "Sport-Express" when he was asked about whether he remains in the "Arsenal". "Yes" - Arshavin answer was succinct.

Arshavin moved to the "Arsenal" in 2009 from St. Petersburg "Zenith". Sezon-2011/12 he finished on loan is the "Zenith," which played ten matches and scored three goals in the Russian Premier League.

Phil McNulty, BBC Sport Chief Football Writer

"I understand that Everton have had a look at Michael Essien but at this stage his wages are still prohibitive. That would still be an expensive deal so at this stage, with an hour and a half to go, that's not happening."

[4-3-3]

i am for one have no problem with arshavin at the club. but what chamakh and sabastien squillaci doin at the club?:banghead:

[Asthmatic Kitty]

football rumours app just told me that essien might go to real madrid if diarra goes to anzi.

erm. ok.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

i am for one have no problem with arshavin at the club. but what chamakh and sabastien squillaci doin at the club?:banghead:

Squid will never play only problem is his wages. Chamachk on the other hand will in the cc.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Dempsey at Spurs :haha:

[Keith]

Hopefully asking for directions

[McNamara That Ghost...]

BW10 isn't going to be best pleased when she reads about Dempsey.

[RomfordPele]

No signings then. Greedy, cheating, lying money grabbing bastards.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

What a shit day.

[4-3-3]

Dempsey at Spurs :haha:

spurs now have 3 proven strikers in dempsey, ade & defoe , while arsenal. have chamack and giroud and fu ki no-wan.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Dempsey at Spurs :haha:

what happend to wanting to go to liverpool.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

spurs now have 3 proven strikers in dempsey, ade & defoe , while arsenal. have chamack and giroud and fu ki no-wan.

Defoe is shite tbf.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

The reaction of Liverpool fans on Twitter to Dempsey perhaps going to Tottenham has been very angry. They now see the prospect of not bringing in anybody today. Why have they not got anybody? They've let Andy Carroll go, Charlie Adam's gone, they've got money in the bank. Yet no-one seems to be coming."

:lol:

[GP]

spurs now have 3 proven strikers in dempsey, ade & defoe , while arsenal. have chamack and giroud and fu ki no-wan.

And Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott.

[Niall_Quinn]

Our team is comparatively weak all over the pitch. A couple of key injuries, which is inevitable, put us in the deep shit. Dempsey was an absolute no-brainer and we could have still made a transfer window profit (which is of course the inviolable priority). These bastards that have hijacked the club need to be run out of it. They will do whatever it takes to rob every last fork, spoon and even bog roll from the place before they abandon ship.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

City sign some serb from fiorentina while savic goes the other way.

[Keith]

And champions league football? -Dempsey

[4-3-3]

And Lukas Podolski and Theo Walcott.

poldi is not proven pl striker and walcott is a winger

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

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

[Niall_Quinn]

To flog the guy who carried the club and flog him to our most bitter rivals - then still insist on a transfer window profit. It's truly fucking amazing, even by the standards of our greedy bastards. They are pure filth.

"Michael Essien may be going to Real Madrid on loan. He will be dealing with a manager there who knows his very well and who will feel he can get the most out of him."

[Niall_Quinn]

I can believe I still care about this shit. Supporting Arsenal is like stabbing yourself repeatedly in the cock with a fork.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:haha: GW is going to nuts soon hope maccy is ready to clean up.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Dempsey sounds like AVB channelling his inner 'Arry.

"The chairman got me a facking present"

Thought I saw Essien on the pitch after the match? :unsure:

Better be quick on that...

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Thought I saw Essien on the pitch after the match? :unsure:

Yeah he was.

[Niall_Quinn]

Dempsey has agreed terms with the Spuds.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

It's not even a case of replacing Carroll.

4 goal or whatever it was isn't too hard to replace.

It's more a case of replacing Torres.

True, but even so as much as Caroll was bad you keeping him and signing no one would have been better then you may end up with.

Who knows and hour left maybe you'll sign Llorente.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Dempsey has agreed terms with the Spuds.

Wenger Out, Come on stan He's one of your boys ffs.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Thought I saw Essien on the pitch after the match? :unsure:

Better be quick on that...

I don't think it matters so long as they have permission to complete it after the deadline and both clubs have agreed on a deal.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

In the last few minutes, Resanenca has claimed that Joao Moutinho will stay at Porto. Tottenham's offer is still below Porto's valuation, it says, and the midfielder is still not happy with the personal terms on offer. That said, there's still 76 minutes to deadline while writing this, so still there's time for it to be on - and off - again...."

[Keith]

Hargreaves and Owen still available

[RomfordPele]

You can already hear wenger talking about how there was no value in the market, that we have a good squad, that Wilshere will be like a new signing etc etc ... Pass me that fork NQ

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

True, but even so as much as Caroll was bad you keeping him and signing no one would have been better then you may end up with.

Who knows and hour left maybe you'll sign Llorente.

I'd have Rodgers' babies if he pulled that one out of the hat.

I'm not particularly cut up about Carroll going per se (as I say his 4 or so goals weren't exactly critical) but we've let a lot of forwards go this window and not really replaced them, we probably have weakened an already pretty poor forward line.

Playing some good football is nice but there was an open goal to get someone who desperately wanted to come and could score a decent number of goals, and we hit the post.

[Dicks and chicks]

Hargreaves and Owen still available
sign them both and bid for justiin hoyte

[4-3-3]

Arsene Wenger feels that when Jack Wilshere is up and running again it will be like a new signing for Arsenal

Wenger repeatedly compared Diaby’s return to fitness with a new signing during pre-season.

Arsène Wenger says Tomas Rosicky's healthy lifestyle and professional, he will be like a new signing.

[Dennis Bendtner]

You could tell by his comments about only wanting to sign "special" players that most likely we wouldn't do any business today.

[Bergkampwonderland10]

BW10 isn't going to be best pleased when she reads about Dempsey.
What the hell? Well, he said he wanted cl football, he might just get it next season. Sigurdsson, Dempsey, dembele, three midfielders I'd want in our squad for sure. Spurs have bought v well this summer. Vertinghen and adebayor for peanuts aswell. The only saving grace is that I don't rate avb at all. Had twitchy still been at the reigns, reckon that squad would have done pretty well. #gutted. Have to ssay I think this might be wenger's last season with us. Don't see us neat 4th with the squad we have, first 11 maybe but you need a squad. Night everyone.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Chamakh is still available.
You know it's desperate when my first thought there was "actually he might not be too bad..."

Benayoun is back to the 'Ammers on a season long loan. :lol:

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

You know it's desperate when my first thought there was "actually he might not be too bad..."

chin up all you have to do is score once against us on sunday to guarantee a win, we don't score goals anymore

[Dicks and chicks]

I am about to do a shit.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Benayoun is back to the 'Ammers on a season long loan. :lol:

Good for him, despite my deflated spirits.....i feel glad that he's found a club....he put in a good shift for us last season

Dempsey has agreed terms with the Spuds.

[DrizzyCole]

literally - without signing anyone, arsenal will have lost a lot of faith in the team. a few bad results & the fans will be on the backs of the team/wenger/board. could've sent a message but as long as they make a profit... what can we do?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Benayoun is back to the 'Ammers on a season long loan. :lol:

When does the loan window close?

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

we have no-one to blame but ourselves, we set ourselves up for a fall and we moan but we don't put up.....people still buy tickets week in, week out....we will still sell out most home games and the money will keep flowing.

AW and the board won't care about the fans and their booing.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

When does the loan window close?

I don't think that's for players coming in to the Premier League, I think it's for the lower leagues.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

selling song and not replacing will turn out to be one of wengers worst decisions. the decision becomes more scandalous by the hour.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Spot on you are, don't get why fans let themselves get mugged off no point blaming board/wenger if you keep going back for more. Its like Battered wife syndrome.

Not a bad deal for the hammers tbh.

[Dennis Bendtner]

You know it's desperate when my first thought there was "actually he might not be too bad..."

We could have done some convenient deals. We give you Chamakh, you agree to leave Sahin alone so Madrid have to give him to us. You use the funds saved from not signing Sahin to sign Dempsey. We sign some top, top, top striker. We all go the pub and laugh at all these ****s scrabbling around on deadline day.

Oh well

[4-3-3]

i heard london colney was already closed at 6 this evening. maybe why ssn had no reporter there?.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Sky Sports sources understand Fulham midfielder Clint Dempsey has signed for Tottenham for £6million on a three-year deal.

It was closed at 6 because at about 3 the club had said no business would be done today.

I doubt we'll get any injuries this season. It'll be fine.

Who is going to play upfront when Suarez says something racist? That situation is quite baffling. We're relying on fragile players remaining fit, but at least they exist. Surely Liverpool are looking right now for one more. Presumably Borini will be playing wide of Suarez mostly.

Dear god, we really should have sorted my series of events out. You could have even had Dennis Bendtner or Park if you wanted.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In terms of strikers, Borini, Suarez, Morgan, Yesil (some German we bought from Leverkusen yesterday... meant to be quite good but still) and that's it. Borini will probably play left of Suarez most games, you're right. Aissaidi is a complete unknown. Then we're into Downing territory.....

It is quite worrying in all honesty. I wouldn't even turn my nose up at Owen returning. And I never thought I'd say that.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

So its 6:30 over here and after a short slepp I have woken to find we have done nothing on DLD.

We have shipped out but not in. . .it is beyond belief truly, we let Song go but brought no like for like replacement, my god!

We have now out and out front man and sent two back ups plus the guy who scored 30+ last year to other teams.

20 minutes to go and not sight or sound of any activity. . .we have fucking major needs. . .is that noy obvious

Shocking tbh, i really thought we'd get cover for song at least and RVP. Wenger has failed the board has failed and im being serious they can all Fuck off.

I really think we need to finish out the top 4 for these ****s to wake up.

fans aren't stupid. this summer they will have seen exactly what has happened and they will finally turn against management. selling rvp to our bitter rivals will have tipped many over the edge and rightly so. additionally, he sanctioned the departure of song which is fine but not replacing is ludicrious. i refuse to believe the board did not sanction players for wenger, who is our longest and most successful manager ever. we have made another profit yet again and our team is an arteta injury away from crumbling. on top of that, chamakh is still here as our second choice striker. they've made a bed and now they must lie in it. they'll feel the full force of fans displeasure this season as we'll probably end up winning nothing and we'll have to scrape for top 4 again. that's not good enough and doesn't wash with fans anymore. don't kid yourselves, this time it's down to wenger.

GW is more fun than the actual game. Haven't seen a game so far this season. Don't miss it a bit. Haven't been enjoying it for years but could never accept it. I suppose RvP helped out in that respect. A slap around the face to wake up.

fans are stupid. very fucking stupid. look at the muppets waiting round their respective grounds all fucking day. staring into their phones waiting for the big news. new player. big fee. big wages. poor fucking returns. never mind, increase the ticket prices, keep paying the sky bill, give it all back to the clubs to waste on more over paid ****s that wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire and will fuck off for another big pay day at the first opportunity. never mind. we can all cheer when they score and pretend that we can remember whatever the fuck it is we are doing watching it anymore.

[RomfordPele]

Fair play rvp - if I'd have seen this coming I'd have fucked off too.

Oh well, all you can do is support the team we've got and pray Arteta or Cazorla don't get crocked.

If they do, we won't even get Europa league.

2304:
French football expert Matt Spiro reports: (https://twitter.com/mattspiro) "With Stephane Mbia confirmed as a QPR player, and Hugo Lloris now at Tottenham, Ligue 1 has lost two very fine players tonight. It could have been worse for French fans, however. Lyon duo Bafetimbi Gomis and Michel Bastos now look as though they will stay put, as does Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila and Marseille striker Loic Remy.
"And of course, the French league has inherited the talents of a certain Joseph Barton. One of the Premier League's most controversial and colourful figures moving to France's most passionate and volatile footballing city...Barton and OM could well be an explosive combination!"

[Ralpheroo72]

Window shut, and no further in's. I would rather Wenger just said that we will not be signing anyone, rather than the 'we may bring in 1 or 2 more' bullshit. He and the club take us for mugs when they do that. I agree with the comments about struggling with football, its a business, and a shit one at that. You have a few teams spunking their petro dollars, and the rest watching from the sidelines. Coupled with that, you have the modern day footballer, people like cashley cole etc who arent loyal, and just chase the $$$$$.

You have a few teams spunking their petro dollars, and the rest watching from the sidelines. Coupled with that, you have the modern day footballer, people like cashley cole etc who arent loyal, and just chase the $$$$$.

Why have they taken anyone for mugs we have known how they roll for the last 5 years if you believe what they say its shows how silly some fans are. I agree they should be more honest and say we won't sign players but i don't take what they say to heart anymore.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

:gp:

he tried to tell the fans this! we thought he was being an arse

He was being an Arse don't go on like he cared for the fans he was out for himself and that his right.

[gooners]

and yet it happened as it always does! i hope he is laughing his tail off

[Niall_Quinn]

Replacing Song would have been enough to say it was a break even transfer window. The squad would have been slightly weaker considering it was unlikely RvP could carry the team for two seasons running. But to not even do that much. That's greed on a new level. Can't give one fucking inch to the fans, not a fucking inch.

[Kano]

GW is more fun than the actual game. Haven't seen a game so far this season. Don't miss it a bit. Haven't been enjoying it for years but could never accept it. I suppose RvP helped out in that respect. A slap around the face to wake up.

i have, probably more out of habit but the fun isn't there anymore. the game starts, then ends. move on. i unfortunately got my teenage son hooked on this shit so it would wrench him to pull the plug now, so in his naivety i'll let him enjoy all the big moves etc but i'll teach him the bigger picture over time.

[The Wengerbabies]

He was being an Arse don't go on like he cared for the fans he was out for himself and that his right.
He did care for the fans. He tried to warn us but nobody would listen.

[gunnerrrrr]

Thanks again Wenger and co for building up our hopes. I cannot wait to pay my £80 per ticket for every prem game i see.
Who needs to see players like RVP, all that matters is profit...oh i forgot, Mr Wenger and co, your payday is not to bad either, guess thats the old bonus for keeping us there or there abouts without actually winning anything.

So its bye to RVP, Song, Bendtner, Park, perhaps Theo later this year and hello to "transition" once again.

You are right we will be a big surprise this season to everyone, as they will probably mistake us for Spurs given the shit that is going on at this club.

Well done PHW, another good days work, im sure Danny Fiszman would be disgusted by your actions you fat fucking useless ****.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

fans aren't stupid. this summer they will have seen exactly what has happened and they will finally turn against management. selling rvp to our bitter rivals will have tipped many over the edge and rightly so. additionally, he sanctioned the departure of song which is fine but not replacing is ludicrious.i refuse to believe the board did not sanction players for wenger, who is our longest and most successful manager ever. we have made another profit yet again and our team is an arteta injury away from crumbling. on top of that, chamakh is still here as our second choice striker. they've made a bed and now they must lie in it. they'll feel the full force of fans displeasure this season as we'll probably end up winning nothing and we'll have to scrape for top 4 again. that's not good enough and doesn't wash with fans anymore. don't kid yourselves, this time it's down to wenger.

Of course fans are stupid and it will be seen next summer when season tickers get renewed and the same cycle is complete.


i refuse to believe the board did not sanction players for wenger, who is our longest and most successful manager ever.

Doubt the board cared about players coming inm infact im sure they were delighted when they heard no one was coming in. if you think they are not happy with this and sanctiond signigs then why won'tthey sack the manager in the morning.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

He did care for the fans. He tried to warn us but nobody would listen.

Nah Footballers are only in it for themselves, don't blame him for leaving at all.

[RomfordPele]

He was being an Arse don't go on like he cared for the fans he was out for himself and that his right.

True but he cited a lack of ambitious that has been 100% vindicated by this transfer window: one step forward, two steps back - but all fine as long as the money keeps rolling in. Why would any world class player want to come here whilst that's the club's vision.

I still firmly believe this is wenger not the board - he lost it after abramovich, and seems determined to prove you can win a trophy without investing a penny. Fortunately for him, he's found a board happy to go along with the vision because it pays off the debt and massively increases the sell-on value of their shares. Everyone's a winner, non?

I think its gone beyond that don't get it twisted Wenger has a lot to take the blame for, but if he went now do you think Stan will put someone there like a jose who will demand money? no way it will be another yes man.

Untill both the board and Wenger go were fucked well and truely.

On RVP you have a point don't blame him just hated his Billy big bollox.

Also worth noting Chakma is still here :doh:

Agree we need both gone, but I don't for one second believe that if wenger asked for cash he'd be refused it.

Truth is we haven't got someone like David dein (or who for that matter daniel levy) who will go out there and make transfers happen, almost forcing wenger to spend. Its the board that are yes men to wenger not the other way round. They are very happy to sit back, let wenger persist with his cod-messianic crusade, and get stinking fucking rich off the proceeds.

Clearly, both are at fault but wenger more than the board as he could force the issue with a simple ultimatum: give me the cash to compete or I walk. He's never done it, and that for me leaves me to think he's never been denied it.

Of course, no one knows for sure but that's my take. Either way it's the club and the fans that suffer.

Think it's all for the best, there can be no pretence amongst any of us of expectancy to win anything....and with goals unlikely to be forthcoming we are looking at a top half finish at best..........I think the apathy of the fans can only be cured by something quite apalling like this happening......we have sold of all our best players that doesn't seem to be enough......only a mid-table finish can stir us from our sleep.

We will get four points at most from our next 4 games....so we are well on the road!

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

fans are stupid. very fucking stupid. look at the muppets waiting round their respective grounds all fucking day. staring into their phones waiting for the big news. new player. big fee. big wages. poor fucking returns. never mind, increase the ticket prices, keep paying the sky bill, give it all back to the clubs to waste on more over paid ****s that wouldn't piss on you if you were on fire and will fuck off for another big pay day at the first opportunity. never mind. we can all cheer when they score and pretend that we can remember whatever the fuck it is we are doing watching it anymore.

there comes a point when fans say enough is enough regardless of the crap spewed by our board and manager. 7 years counting we have had this- constant shite spewed out of wenger's mouth, out of the ceo's mouth, out of our owner's mouth. fans are finally turning in their droves against the club and a few good results won't recover the loss of proximity we once had with this football club. we've sold our dignity to the devil and the board don't even care. you say fans are stupid because they'll support when results start improving but we went on an incredible run last season and that didn't stop our fans voicing their displeasure. they can see through a few good performances, they can see the ignorant attitude of our manager and they can see the corporate direction the club is heading towards. i know people who have had season tickets for 20 years but have vowed never to step foot inside the stadium as long as wenger is here. they've washed their hands with him and a few good results will not repair 7 years of being constantly undermined and having our intelligence insulted. we've been ripped for every penny we have yet the manager sits in his press conference and has the audacity to talk about high spending in the current recession, knowing full well the club milks fans for every penny we have even at a time when unemployment is at an all time high. using the recession to suit his argument shows the level of hypocrisy our board and manager result to. its quite literally shameful.

the ill-feeling is growing and it's gone on long enough. many have had enough. enough is enough.

Why do people keep bleating on about this seven years shit when talking about transfers?

It is seven years since we won something, this transfer strategy has been in place longer.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

European football expert Andy Brassell: "So, it seems to have ended up as a yes and a no from Portugal to the Premier League today. The signing of Javi Garcia is a coup for Roberto Mancini, and not nearly as expensive as it could have been at an initial £16m. With all due respect to Nigel de Jong, Garcia is a huge upgrade. Brought through the Real Madrid academy he is of good stock, but has improved his game tenfold since arriving in Lisbon. The 25-year-old is strong, good in the air, a good passer and has the adaptability to play at centre-back too. Perhaps the best aspect for City is that his power will allow Yaya Toure to be used further forward more often.

"On the other hand, missing out on Moutinho will be a source of huge disappointment to Andre Villas-Boas. The midfielder isn't just a great player, but a player who could help unfold AVB's vision on the pitch - and he believes in the coach just as much as Villas-Boas believes in him. Even for a gnarled businessman like Daniel Levy it is, however, never a good idea to be stuck bartering with Porto on the final day of the window. Their president Jorge Nuno Pinto da Costa has been there, got the T-shirt and sold it on at a handsome profit."

Well Dempsey is a direct replacement for VDV. Only he'll track back less than VDV and play completely as a second striker. With that, of course, he'll get his customary 1-in-3 record. How many will the spuds let in is the key. I've never been impressed by Lloris. At all.

I'm not sure he's built well enough for the PL, he flaps at crosses, a bit like De Gea

I can see some potential in De Gea because he seems to pull off some incredible saves at times. From the (admittedly limited) sightings of Lloris, he's a bit of a clown.

But Dempsey is definitely a good, safe bet for a decent goalscorer. I'm just thinking keeping the opposition out might be the spuds problem. It seemed to be something AVB struggled heavily with last year.

Manchester City complete a £16m deal for Benfica midfielder Javi Garcia before the transfer deadline

So Spuds get another quality midfielder as they did with Parker last season and we are sat doing f all. Wenger has to fuck off surely?

How much did he go for?

Never seen this Garcia dude. Also seen Maicon joined them. We needed a right back. Wenger :doh:

Seen Essien joined Real Madrid. Good signing for them. Always rated him. Quality player

I don't think you can track back less than VDV. Dempsey is a decent grafter.

Lloris indeed has many howlers in him. An excellent shot-stopper like so many, but deficient in other departments. Perlman at 49 would still be a safer option. Lyon have got one over them. Losing Kaboul means their defence has not improved at all, so as you say, they're still suspect there.

They've bought some decent players, but it's just levelling out if you look at how many have left.

It was said before you left no business was being done well about 3, It was pool who bid for dempsey and had it rejected so he went to spurs.

£6m i think.

Wenger might have to go but you know its not gonna happen.

But spuds have not really got stronger dempsey is a replacement for VDV so its not as if they added anything.

Too right and it's about time people woke up because this is déjà vu. It pisses me off. People here are just as bad and need to wake up. Applauding the sales of key players, talk of greed and placing all the blame on players, talking shit about what a player is worth to the club while we're happy to pay fuckers like Chamakh and Squallaci to sit on the bench and do fuck all. It pisses me off. People fall for the okey doke every year. The great balancing act is now complete and the club have shown their ass. They were smart enough to buy early and sell late to have people fooled and thinking things have changed. Same shit, different toilet.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has defended his transfer policy by claiming that spending money "is not a quality".

The Gunners sold first-team regulars Robin van Persie and Alex Song to Manchester United and Barcelona respectively this summer, but reinforced their squad by signing Santi Cazorla, Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud.

Wenger has often been criticised for his reluctance to make big-money signings, but the Frenchman insists that splashing cash in the transfer market is not necessarily a sign of strength.

"We have bought already - Lukas Podolski, Santi Cazorla, Olivier Giroud," he said in The Daily Star.

"But when you listen to people, you always have to buy more.

"Spending in itself is not a quality. Buying better players than we have - that is a quality.

"We do spend when we find the right players. You have to give the players who have come in a bit of time.

"Thierry Henry arrived and didn't play before November, Robert Pires wasn't an automatic starter at first.

"What is important is that we believe in the players we have and get our long-term injuries back, like Jack Wilshere."

Arsenal are away at Liverpool in the Premier League on Sunday.

Pretty much we struggle to give quality the wages they want but find it no problem giving average players a better wage then they deserve. Also we seem to have no problem tying them to long contracts but top quality we do.

If you've got the spare 250k a week for his wages, i'll happily agree. I'll even chip in a fiver a month myself.

Arsenal sent scouts to watch Manchester United target Liam Moore in action for Leicester last weekend. The versatile 19-year-old, who is comfortable at centre-back, right-back or in midfield, has impressed in the Championship this season.

Good to see the scouts back at work after taking the end of August of on a well undeserved break

Not yet, not all windows have closed - Arsenal players might still go out.

Everton midfielder Marouane Fellaini has admitted he is looking to leave the club next summer.

The 24-year-old, who moved to Goodison Park from Belgian side Standard Liege in September 2008, has scored twice in three Premier League appearances for David Moyes' side this season.

Fellaini signed a new five-year contract with Everton in November 2011 but the Belgium international insists this is likely to be his last season under Moyes.

"I begin now to my fifth season at Everton," Fellaini told Belgian newspaper Het Nieuwsblad. "This will be one of my last. I've seen everything. In January or at the end of the season I would look for another club or league."

Earlier this week, Everton's proposed loan move for Club Brugge midfielder Vadis Odjidja-Ofoe collapsed after Fifa refused to ratify the transfer.

"It's a pity that Vadis did not come to Everton," Fellaini said. "It may come later on."

Spartak Moscow are ready to test Arsenal's resolve to hang on to forward Theo Walcott, 23, by making a bid for him in the January transfer window.

Reports that Arsenal made a bid for Anderlecht midfielder Lucas Biglia, 25, late in the transfer window were apparently sparked by a hoax offer.

Theo needs to sign a new contract with us asap

Theo needs to repair his teeth from all that brick running.

Theo needs to repair his teeth from all that brick running.

It was an amazingly poor performance from Theo vs Moldova. He played like it was his football debut, naive, positionally clueless, making every one of the mistakes that has characterised his career so far. It suggests he doesn't have it in him to learn or develop.

He'll go for big money and/ or big wages - so we are out of the picture for sure.

[Syn]

He doesn't quite fit into our style of play. Or our financial model.

Poor imitation of a footballer. He should be diving about a lot more than he does.

But srsly, I reckon we should leave him at Everton because he helps them beat all the other teams and we can beat Everton anyway.

[GP]

If he wants to come here he'll need to get himself a GHELcut.

Any good?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

He's a good player but not much more than that. Good finish right in to his own face against Chelsea too.

[Dennis Bendtner]

Spanish bench players. I thought we were all for that. That said, he didn't even make their Euro squad, so fuck him.

[Kano]

germans. many many more germans.

Could do with Lahm tbh

ARSENAL want to prise Didier Drogba away from Shanghai Shenhua.
The Gunners are desperate to find a proven scorer to replace Robin van Persie.
And they have made enquiries with the Chinese club to see if there is a way of bringing the striker, 34, back to London.
The Gunners are aware of internal upheaval at Shanghai where Drogba and ex-Chelsea team-mate Nicolas Anelka have been caught up in a boardroom power struggle.
Drogba — believed to be on £200,000 a week — had been linked with a shock switch to Liverpool.
Real Madrid manager Jose Mourinho, who took the hitman to Stamford Bridge in 2004, also kept an eye on the Ivorian during the summer transfer window.

Dids at Arsenal?

Make it happen

Would he work in our system though?

[Niall_Quinn]

Who cares if it keeps Shitmak off the pitch?

[Cripps_orig]

Our system of being pansy ass bitches, keep the ball but have no end product?

Probably not

Might have to change it

[Syn]

We could probably use him at CB to maintain the correct ratio.

Of course he'd work. It's Dids. Cazorla can launch a 40 yard ball forward and get a deckchair out. Game over.

[selassie]

Would he work in our system though?

He's an upgrade on Giroud. I'd like this to happen TBH.

[Cripps_orig]

Tbf, most strikers are an upgrade on Giroud

I know i know, its only been 3 games blah blah blah but has it?

Hes been a bit shit his whole career, has one half decent season last season and Wenger buys him. Should have waited to see if he could do it again or if he goes back to normal.

Looks like the latter and we are stuck with him

Drogba is a Must Get

[Grebbo]

Drogba is a non story. We can't afford his wages and he wont join Arsenal.

Usual shite from the Sun.

We desperately need a striker though. My guess is Llorente in Jan.

No way can we rely on Giroud as our only striker for the entire season unless we opt for the Spain style no striker system.

Will Drogba come here for £17.50 and a bag of chips though? How much do we have left in the kitty after paying incredible dross like Shitmak to sit around? Can't see it. We'll probably get a cheap nobody in January.

[Cripps_orig]

Do not forget, Podolski can play there

And hes pretty awesome.

Id rather he starts upfront than Giroud with Ox on the left and Theo on the right
