January Transfers -- Speculation & Shit?

[server too busy!]

Why aren't we in for M'Vila and Yanga-Mbiwa, both cheap and want to come to us and would provide real competition. If we got those 2, all we need is Villa and LB and we're good to go.

Come on Arsene stop WUMing

The most worrying thing is we aren't even getting linked with people...generally that means nothing is happening, gone are the days where Arsene could keep things under wraps with all the social media around these days.

They could be shit like all of our recent signings from the French league.

Barca ain't selling Villa so no point dreaming about that.

Well yes but past experience tells me they'll be shit.

Oh well might as well not bother signing anyone then.

You're not Wenger by any chance are you?

[Marc Overmars]

[Grebbo]

I agree there is no point in signing decent French players. Or any decent player of any nationality.

We have lots of decent players.

This team does not require more decent players.

The only way we will significantly improve is by buying world class players as we have zero world class players (Jack should become world class though).

We need an RVP, Aguero, Silva etc etc. We need to spunk £30m+ on one player and we need several of these £30m players. You cannot expect to compete with Manure/Chelsea and City by buying decent French players when Manure/Chelsea/City have several £30m+ players in their team. It's impossible.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

can't help but feel that Wenger feels he has been burnt in the french transfer market with players like Chamakh who scored regularly for Bordeaux but cannot reproduce the same in England, that's why i think he's cool on Yann M'Villa (the only other club remotely interested in him is QPR speaks volumes as well).
It's a problem of his own making, it's clear we can probably afford the transfer fees for a lot of the players we on this board think we should be going after it's just their wages we can't afford (and sending the dross out on loan doesn't solve that particular problem as neither Hamburg or West Ham are likely to be paying Djourou and Chamakh's respective wages).

Chamakh scored 76 goals in 301 games for Boredeaux he was hardly a regular scorer, I saw him many times before he signed and he always looked very average, you can't base you decisions on the fact you signed someone average and he turned out to be average for you.

Sign quality, you get what you pay for at the end of the day, it's true that the French players aren't that great at the moment, there's not a lot of quality out there, unlike 15 years ago.

[Özim]

SSN reckon we've renewed our interest in Zaha.
This would be a sh*t signing, why the f*ck would we waste our money on another project, let Man U have him.

I don't get the fuss about this guy, he's 20 has scored a handful of goals in a lower league and yet people are talking about a big money move for him..the world has gone mad.

[Kano]

SSN reckon we've renewed our interest in Zaha.

oh ffs

[Özim]

SSN reckon we've renewed our interest in Zaha.
Apparently he's accidentally revealed a move to Man U so it's looks pretty unlikely we'll get him which is a good thing.

We're probably going after him now we know we won't get him, been there before (at least it's a good thing this time though).

I'm not fussed about signing Zaha but I suppose it's always good if a player chooses us over Utd.

But I agree I don't know what the fuss is about and he'll probably turn out to be shit.

he could turn out to be a fucking genius for all i care but we need experience, not another experiment.

[Grebbo]

Experience of what? We've got lots of experienced players now, it's not like a few years ago. None have experience of winning anything but they're mid to late 20's and have thousands of games between them.

We desperately need quality IMO. A few years ago with Cesc and co we had the quality and not the experience. Now I think it's the other way round.

[-Xs-]

Yeah we won't accept anything less!

Messi's great, but he is no Mikel Arteta

as in proven players with proven experience. not another kid who still has to make his mark whilst we wait for him to bed down into the league etc etc. we have ox for that, he'll do. fuck zaha and any other little prick that we may be interested in.

all this of course is based on the proviso that any spent is put toward decent alternatives, which is unlikely to be the case so the bottom line is, i haven't got a fucking clue what i'm talking about.

[Grebbo]

I'd take a 16yr old Fabregas right now over a 32yr old Arteta that's for sure.

Wenger's biggest fuck up was not adding experience to that Cesc team.

I think Zaha will go to Manure, he'd be mad not to even though he's a gooner.

[Kano]

i'd take a mid-20's player over any 16 year old protege right now - i've had my fill of all that.

totally agree about the experience part - it wasn't that the young players weren't there but the fact wenger didn't know when and how to buy the right players to compliment them.

We will somehow tempt him with 50K wages. And if he turns into a superstar in a few years, we will offer him 55K for his services. Ajax Part Deux

[Marc Overmars]

SSN have now added they're expecting bids for Zaha from United and ourselves.

Super quality :bow:

Remy chooses RPQ over all his mates at Newcastle? Newcastle are in trouble at the moment but when they have a fully-fit team, they will surely be fine.

Odemwinge and Olsson will probably join Crooknapp's D-list revolution too.

Reports in France this evening suggest Everton are closing in on the signing of Toulouse midfielder Etienne Capoue.

Sud Ouest have revealed in the last few minutes that Capoue will undertake a medical with Everton in the next couple of days.

The French international (4 caps) is set for the Premier League with Everton and a transfer fee has been agreed with Toulouse for between 10 and 12 million euros.

Whilst Everton fans will welcome an expensive and glamorous signing, the deal will be bitter sweet as the suggestions in France are that Capoue has been brought in to replace Marouane Fellaini.

L’Equipe said last week that Fellaini would join Chelsea during this transfer window and it appears Everton boss David Moyes has brought in Capoue to cover the loss of the afro-haird Belgian.

Capoue is rated as one of the best players to have appeared for Toulouse in the last 20 years and undoubtedly has the physical attributes to succeed in the Premeir League.

The 24-year-old midfielder has played 18 times for Toulouse in 2012/2013, scoring three goals and picked up four yellow cards.

http://www.101greatgoals.com/blog/everton-set-to-sign-etienne-capoue-for-e10m-to-replace-marouane-fellaini/

Just a replacement for the Arsenal-bound Fellaini.

M'Villa off to QPR too according to the Sun.

Looks like the Rosie account will be burning again. QPR in the second division by 2015?

[Niall_Quinn]

£8m for Remy, £7m for M'Villa - deals done apparently.

[Niall_Quinn]

We're after Diame for £3.5mill although we're hoping to beat them down to £17.50 and a bag of chips.

[Master Splinter]

At Pompey, he bought Arsenal pensioners.

At RPQ, Crooknapp is just buying every F-lister Arsenal have ever been linked with.

Hope he doesn't get one over us with Biglia though.

I hope to god qpr guarantee themselves to go down now – tony fernandes waltzes in bragging about being a more sensible owner, throws stupid money at average players and an average manager and they land up in the shit. Come January, they get in a dodgy, twitchy ****, allows him to throw money at players looking for an easy 5 months on big wages that will fuck off when they are relegated. The fans will suffer as we always do and there is only one man to blame.

Pretty much. Would be surprised to see those two go down with RPQ. . .and if they dont, it would be a classic example of the state of the game, in which success is bought but this time at the other end if the table.

[BlindFaith_8]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xJBsI7RAuvkDelboy Rednapp is up to his old tricks again taking advantage of a Novice football owner and somehow peursading him to release over 15 mill to sign 2 players on huge contracts for a team destined for the Championship, they were better off staying with Mrs Doubtfire. I think Arry Trotter is a real wheeler dealer and knows the system so well he pratically owns the transfer windows. Silly busines for QPR, they already have 50 million players on silly contracts which are simply unstainable for a crap ground that barely holds 15 000.

I love it when he say he's no wheeler dealer but a football manager!

That's the plan. All you left out was the bit about twitch claiming they were on the verge of Euro qualification if only it hadn't been for the shitty owners he used to stuff Rosie. The man's a grade one crook and how he's allowed to be involved in football is a mystery is obvious.

Appi to Be a Gunner

Stephen Appiah is set to end speculation by joining Arsenal, according to reports. The Ghana midfielder had been monitored by Arsene Wenger after he identified him as the man to replace Alex Song and turn around the Gunners fortunes in the fight for a Champions League spot.

Wenger is reportedly finally set to his get man after the Ghanaian agreed to sign for the North London outfit in a 3 year deal worth a reported £70,000 a week.

[Unai Tea]

Arsenal can spend big again (again??) yadda yadda yadda...

"Asked if his time at Arsenal will soon be coming to an end, Wenger said: "It is, because I am 63 years old and will not work at 100."

You have to question their quality when no big clubs want to sign them.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this team doesn't need to buy more good players, we have a fuck load of them. What this team needs to improve is great players, £30m players. This is where I agree with Wenger that there's no point in just buying decent players, we need super super quality. We need an Aguero, RVP, Silva etc etc

Where I disagree with Wenger is on his definition of super quality!!

If I were Wenger I'd be trying to get rat face Modric who's not setting the world alight at Real. Or try and get Cesc on loan who's not playing every game at Barca. If we're tying to get Villa this is a good sign (but of course we wont get him). They're the quality of players we should be going after not Remy who cant get a game at Marseille where Joey Barton is considered their best player!

[Grebbo]

I actually think it would be worth going after Berbatov! He's hardly known for his loyalty and could force a move from Fulham given that they're doing shit.

I'd love to see him up front with Walcott. It would be like a shitter version of Bergkamp/Henry.

I wish Wenger had gone for him in the summer!!!! I'd love to have seen what he'd of been like playing for us.

[Kano]

the same he has done everywhere - blow hot and cold.

[Power n Glory]

No need for Berbatov. We have Arshavin if we want to play a man behind the striker but Wenger has frozen him out of the squad.

[Niall_Quinn]

So you're saying you wouldn't be open to a swap deal?

Not really. I'd prefer it if we transformed Walcott into one of the world's leading strikers and then sold him to you cheap. However I'm not sure if that could work as you might not be prepared to pay a low price.

You have to question their quality when no big clubs want to sign them.

I've said it before and I'll say it again: this team doesn't need to buy more good players, we have a fuck load of them. What this team needs to improve is great players, £30m players. This is where I agree with Wenger that there's no point in just buying decent players, we need super super quality. We need an Aguero, RVP, Silva etc etc

Where I disagree with Wenger is on his definition of super quality!!

If I were Wenger I'd be trying to get rat face Modric who's not setting the world alight at Real. Or try and get Cesc on loan who's not playing every game at Barca. If we're tying to get Villa this is a good sign (but of course we wont get him). They're the quality of players we should be going after not Remy who cant get a game at Marseille where Joey Barton is considered their best player!

We would all like to sign Messi but he is not for sale. It is not easy to sign Arteta. We should spend big I agree, but who is there to buy? Nobody. I believe we should warm to the idea of bringing players in once the transfer window is closed.

[server too busy!]

I think plenty of people wanted M'Vila but his attitude has raised doubts. We've had a few players like that in the past, why not take the risk now. He was thought of as potentially world class.

Does seem a bit odd that no decent club has taken a punt on him. If he's got quality but a bad attitude surely moving to a big club will go some way to fix it? At £7m it seems worth the risk seeing as we don't have a DM in the squad. I'd rather have quality and bad attitude than the other way round.

Cantona had a bad attitude before he went to Utd and he turned out ok. Lots of players have bad attitudes. John Terry is vermin but he is/was a bloody good defender.

Be interesting to see how M'Vila turns out. If he's a world beater serious questions will need to be asked of Wenger.

19.03 GMT: Theo Walcott has agreed in principle to a new £100,000 a-week contract at Arsenal, according to reports in the London Evening Standard.

17:05 GMT: Juventus have presented Athletic Bilbao with a final offer of £3.3 million for Fernando Llorente, and have given the Basque outfit until Friday to make a decision, Goal.com are reporting.

16:30 GMT: Newcastle United are ready to switch their attention to Manchester United and Arsenal target Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa as Alan Pardew looks to ease his defensive crisis reports TalkSPORT.

13:00 GMT: El Confidential report that Chelsea have reached a preferential agreement with Malaga for Isco. So, the coaching team led by Rafa Benitez will have priority over other clubs when signing Isco. This was agreed as part of the Lucas Piazon loan deal, which went through yesterday.

01:50 GMT: There have been some interesting reports from the David Beckham camp with Gazzetta dello Sport reporting that the 37-year-old is holding contract negotiations to return to AC Milan. According to Sky Sport Italia, though, Beckham offered himself to Milan recently and was turned away.

Interesting stuff, tbh. A poacher is a must get.

3.3 million for Llorente, why the f*ck aren't we trying to get him?

I never get why we sit back and watch quality players go elsewhere on the cheap.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Its interesting but most likely BS. . .Wumger plays things like this. .doesnt buy in the summer in hope the price drops in January and then doesnt buy or watches as another team nips in and steals from under our nose. . .

Again I add, probably BS but 3.3 for Llorente? Feck even if we didnt need him (actually we do BTW) for that price or region of, buy the fecker! !

Is Llorente the latest player we can add in the "we nearly got him" column?

09.21 GMT: Swansea have reportedly made a bid of £2 million (with a further add-on of £1 million), for Kenwyne Jones. But it didn't match Stoke City 's valuation and they will have to try again.

I wonder if this is what geoffarsenal on twitter was going on about yesterday.

He said that he's heard we are trying to get a player that would smash our previous transfers record to bits, also that it wouldn't just be headline news - it would be epic.

No names mentioned though, he just said that we are trying.

I reckon were after Goetze again.

Yeah, I wondering if it may be Neymar. I don't know why but thats the only possible signing that would be epic. Cavani would also be someone who could fit the bill or Falcao. Either way I can see that just because we have bid that much doesn't mean we'll get the player.

11.19 GMT: Some quotes from Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger: "We are looking at [Wilfried] Zaha, but there is no bid yet. Whenever you call about any player, Man United or Milan are also interested. The truth is it's difficult. [Edinson] Cavani is a player I like, but he would cost a lot, our banker lives nearby, he's ready if we need him. Prices go up at the start of the window but mostly go down in last week. 90 percent of activity happens in the last week."

What a WUM :lol:

[Marc Overmars]

Time for Cavani to come home.

[Kano]

It can't be true that Juve have offered 4m euros for llorente. surely.

His contract is up isn't it? The wages will be two billion a week.

In fact the prices come down even more on the last minute of the last day so we will be cramming all our business in then.

[Grebbo]

Llorente is basically Giroud. Maybe a little better because he is Spanish, but they are similar types of players.

I agree with this, but if Llorente is available for a few million quid then we should get him. Giroud's the only natural striker we have at the club - we need four strikers really.

[GP]

Cavani, obviously.

[Niall_Quinn]

Cavani, obviously.

:doh: I totally forgot we were signing him.

[Grebbo]

I am convinced we will spend £30m on a player either in Jan or the summer.

Absolutely convinced.

Wenger's not going to waste his life fannying around with this bullshit team. He has ambition. He was never scared to spend money before the stadium move.

It will happen.

[Marc Overmars]

If it's going to happen (:haha:) it's more likely to be in the summer.

[server too busy!]

But why ask for the Emirates money to be brought forward to now if we're not going to spend it?

Of course the £30m could be Walcotts signing on fee :angry:

Why aren't there a queue of clubs, at that price?

Well there is that.

But if he is available now, given his contract I wouldn't have thought it'd be much of a fee.

We'll have to make do with Cavani :rolleyes:

[Ollie the Optimist]

doesnt wenger usually deny interest in a player when asked about him. like with cazorla. two days before we signed him, he said he didnt know who he was. so given he admitted it, either we are really close and no one else will sign him, or nothing will happen.


im going with the first option. that arsene cheeky smile just gets your hopes up. its on

[Bergkampwonderland10]

So Kos banned for the next 3 games and having a pretty crap season. Djourou out on loan. Squillacci needs to disappear which leaves us with only 2 CBs which are unlikely to stay fit for the whole season - so I am hoping we sign a CB in the shape of this guy http://www.ibtimes.co.uk/articles/385151/20120917/arsenal-montpellier-champions-league-mapou-yanga-mbiwa.htm
If Szez gets injured then surely now is a good time to blood in a keeper too..my first choice would have been Begovic had he not just signed on for another 5 years with those rugby players but I reckon a good bid could be agreed on. 2nd choice Vorm. For me, Szez still has a lot to learn and his kicking is so suspect that it makes me doubt whether he will ever be able to rectify it.
Luke Shaw would have been a good addition too...but looked like he signed a contract extension at Southampton.

As for Cavani - not sure about that rumor
But it would be nice to get one over on Man U finally... and get Zaha - he looks a great prospect and we need some good competition for places.

[Marc Overmars]

Kos was only suspended for 1 game which he served last night.

kos is back from suspension was only game :good:

agree we need another defender though.

chesney is fine, most keepers dont hit their best until they about 30 most of the experts say so no need to worry. he commands the box well and has improved his concentration so i dont think its an issue. his kicking is, but if thats all the problem is and the rest of his play is very good, its no big worry. he will improve it, hes only about 21!

[Bergkampwonderland10]

Fair enough. Still 3 CBs, and Kos totally of the pace this season. The MOntpellier captain would be great signing in my opinion.

[GP]

Kos is fine.

Kos is fine.
Yeah we have a few players that are 'fine' maybe that's our problem. He's definitely underperformed in comparison to last season. Szez is 'fine' too but a better keeper could make more of a difference particularly when it comes to delivery. At best he needs some competition.

So there I was not wanting to go to sleep incase I missed something and here I am, having read the thread, wishing I hadnt woken up.

The Cavani rumour is truely smoking but seriously has an odour about it. . .as much as we need goals, I cant help feeling that if we were to spunk that amount of money we should do it on tge likes of Felliani, a player who can cintribute all over the pitch, goals, assists and defence and while we are in that neck of the woods, we could pick up Baines. I like Gibbs but he is a maverick who cant defend, we could also find ourselves short at CB and even though I rate Kos he is not having a great season. The Montpellier capt would be fine but I wouldnt mind us going for a less graceful option, say for example Distin, a player who would kick lumps out of RvP rather than give him the keys to the house, just because we used to get on with the guy. . .too nany pussies and not enough balls

"Listen, [with regards to] Cavani; Napoli are playing for the title and the Champions League in Italy. What is Napoli's interest in selling Cavani? None, unless you say, ‘OK, we will pay twice the price of what the player is worth'.

"On top of that, all the players who can strengthen us are cup-tied in the Champions League."

So no Cavani then.

[Niall_Quinn]

So no Cavani then.

He would cost £30mill+ so there was never any Cavani. Have a root around the bottom of the bargain bucket, check that city and the chavs or the hammers or crewe alexandria aren't interested, see if there is a sneaky clause in the player's contract that allows him to go on the cheap, make sure the rumour has not appeared in the press, make sure wenger has never mentioned the name - you now have our list of prospective targets.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You two both sound as if you're still hopeful....

Not really. The point is he signs players or not regardless of what guff he might say at his press conferences.

[Fist of Lehmann]

Media seem to have run with the £30m unsubstantiated rumour, put 2+2 together and got Cavani.

A player for whom Napoli turned down a £45m bid in the summer, who has a release clause of £50m, and who could go pretty much anywhere he wanted and earn 3 times as much as we could possibly pay?

I hope this happens.

[Globalgunner]

Wenger never follows conventional wisdom, never goes for the obvious solution, never does what people suggest he does. He prefers to ignore the flaws in his team, imagining them away as the world is obviously wrong. His strategy is to solve todays problems with next years solutions. This kid will be ready to take this club forward in 2 years time, besides, you can never have too many kids. With our hit miss ratio of 1:50. We need 550 kids to get a single team.

He got lucky with a couple of signings, and ever since then, he's been so fucking full of himself, when in reality the only such signing that actually turned out good was Toure.

The biggest lie when it comes to Wenger, is that he discovers talent out of nowhere. All the players he signed that all turned out great, were all known commodities.

Newcastle agree a fee with Monty for Yanga-Mbiwa.

:wacko:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

And apparently Valdes won't sign another contract with Barca.

I read somewhere that we would get Valdes, Reina would go to United and Barca would buy De Gea :lol:

Made in England!

[Marc Overmars]

I think his signing would mean they'd have more French players than us. :lol:

Never rated Valdez that highly, IMO he's Barca's weakness, Reina is way better when he's on form.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

It did always surprise me that Barca didn't ever go after (ie: tap up) Reina when he was on top form, since he was a Barca youngling.

He has played well recently, so it would be harsh to say he is still throwing the ball in as it seemed like he was doing for a while, but I wouldn't necessarily rule them out going for him now. Unless they want someone young (like a De Gea) in which case they'll probably crap out another one from La Masia.

[Kano]

valdez is a very underrated keeper.

[GP]

I'd take him.

As backup, of course.

[Cripps_orig]

West Ham have yet to agree a new deal with midfielder Mohamed Diame, 25, and he could join Arsenal before the end of the transfer window.

Newcastle are chasing Bastia midfielder Florian Thauvin, 19, but face competition from Arsenal.
Full story: Newcastle Chronicle

Arsene Wenger will be offered a £30m deal to leave Arsenal and join Paris Saint-Germain this summer, with current PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti interested in succeeding Wenger at the Emirates.
Full story: Sunday Mirror


Diame is a bit shit

Newcastle can have him

Fuck yes. Would possibly be the best exchange of all time.

[Özim]

Please, please take the 30 million :pray:

I'll enjoy watching them crash and burn as a secondary benefit of him leaving, it will be fun watching him explaining to the owners that 3rd/4th place is a major trophy :lol:

The French fans will then setup road blocks outside his house!

[Globalgunner]

Arsenal always take the money. Hope that they stay true to form

It's sad when our fans show themselves as more deluded than they claim Wenger to be.

Newcastle agree a fee with Monty for Yanga-Mbiwa.

:wacko:

:ilt:

One CB that looked like he'd add a bit of quality to our defence - ridiculous...this was a no brainer especially at a fee of less than 7million...our scouts are shit and so are the people that close the deals.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barcodes agreeing a fee just gives everyone else the green light to try and trump them by the looks of it.

Remy. :lol:

[Bergkampwonderland10]

Hope you're right Mac cos this is one signing I've wanted for a while. The guy was outstanding against us and at only 23 and with the experience of captaining his side, reckon he will be an excellent CB for years to come.

I'd be surprised if we were to end up with him now though. We've signed too many CB's recently for Wenger to sign another. It would have seemed on the face of it a Wenger style signing all day long.

I think you have to use the term CB loosely in this case, cos they're hardly proper defenders!

He's too expensive, unavailable and not super super quality.

That'll be why we're not signing him.

[Marc Overmars]

11 days left and we still appear no closer to bringing someone in. :lol:

WUMger at his best here.

Give him a chance, recent evidence suggests it can take him up to 4 weeks to take off his penguin coat.

I noticed that you were raving about him so I'm glad we're not getting him. Your record is shocking!

Well I said the same about Tiote and he turned out pretty damn ok. Fair enough he's had an injury plagued season this time around. Monty captain will be yet another great signing for Newcastle along with Ben Arfa and Cabaye - cheap and effective and adding depth to their squad - can't complain there.

Tiote is rubbish. If he's like him then no loss.

[Bergkampwonderland10]

He's not quite rubbish is he? Pretty much a snip at 3.4million too.:dunce:

[GP]

He's not quite rubbish is he? Pretty much a snip at 3.4million too.:dunce:

He's worse than what we have.

You were also raving about thet man city no-mark whose name I can't even remember, he's also confirmed rubbish.

Your record is shocking.

[Özim]

Get some f*cking signings in, anything to replace the shower of sh*t that plays for us at the moment...we'd be hard pressed to find worse defenders, strikers and in some cases midfielders

[PGFC]

I won't be happy until traces of Sagna are found in Tesco value burgers, there must be a hundred ****s available for tuppence that can play better.

[Munchies]

Yoann Gourcuff offered to English clubs on loan, Arsenal tipped by L’Equipe to make a move

Another flop :tumbleweed:

You are funny grimandi's perm...
Onouha - the right back that used to play for Man City...decent squad player and can defend - unlike an off-form Sagna today.
My others over the years Torres pre-liverpool, Cahill, Ben Arfa...need I go on? All been pretty successful at the clubs they joined!

[Marc Overmars]

Sign some fucking players you WUM.

[Niall_Quinn]

Sign some fucking players you WUM.

Or at the very least sign some fucking players you WUM

[McNamara That Ghost...]

You can't have a go at Wenget. Falcao and Cavani have been held up by the snow, Swanson is at the airport waiting as I type.

Disgraceful how much we spent on that snow machine.

[Marc Overmars]

Sneijder signs for Galatasaray.

Eboue and Sneijder dream team. :bow:

[Gooner23]

Surely Galatasaray can't afford to pay him any more than we could? I know he's no Arteta though..

It is quite funny that Wenger doesn't seem to think this squad needs significantly improving. I've tried to refrain from slating him too much, but I really have lost patience with him now.

[GP]

No top sides went for him, so he's now languishing in Turkey.

Says more about him than it does about us.
