Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Niall_Quinn]

Are you really already moaning about signing a proven goal scorer? Fucking hell

Will need to see the holes in his hands before I believe he's been signed.

[Cripps_orig]

Again though it doesn't tell the whole story as you don't know where players get their chances, he's largely a goalpoacher.

I'm only going by what I've seen in la liga and the CL.

He didn't have the best of seasons IMO but I wouldn't say no to him coming.

Widely regarded as the best natural Argentinian player in Spain.

Who's moaning, just commenting on what I saw of him last season.

Besides we've only signed a kid so far.

[Özim]

I agree with this, I think he was very good in previous seasons, just really commenting on what I saw of him last season when maybe he was lacking confidence.

[Master Splinter]

MS :rose:

was the only thing keeping him going!

Once again we haggle over a few pennies and miss out on an amazing player. Linked with him for three years and we can't even complete a deal. In a matter of just days, Spurs have snapped up Paul Eno and Liverpool have bought loads of players and West Brom brought in a quality striker and we look like mugs again. This club is joke, Gazidick is a **** and Weng**** is a **** too.

My life is shit. Weng**** has ruined it.

If we don't buy players we never had any intention of buying, I'll kill myself. Or alternatively, post passive-aggressively on Arsenal matters for the rest of my days and even let this pathetic anger seep into every other subject I discuss despite the irrelevance.

Wenger is the w*rst.

DAVID MOYES'S NEWS CONFERENCE
More from David Moyes on Wayne Rooney: "Wayne Rooney will not be sold by Manchester United. We have spoken several times and what has happened before has gone now.

"We are working together now. I have seen a bit of a glint in his eye. He looks very happy and looks as if he's going to knuckle down."

DAVID MOYES'S NEWS CONFERENCE
David Moyes: "All I can do is do what David Moyes has done before. I'll continue the traditions of the club. I am very fortunate that I am taking over the champions of England and I do hope that I can do a great job here in time."

BREAKING NEWS
David Moyes says Wayne Rooney is not for sale.

"He's a Manchester United player and will remain a Manchester United player," he says.

"I have known Wayne since he was 16, when he was at Everton. It is a little bit of deja vu. He is training really well, he is coming back in good shape and I am looking forward to working with him."

There goes the dream

[Niall_Quinn]

Great news, now can we all get back to hating the ****?

[fakeyank]

Think he is a good striker but not in any way better than Giroud. Part of me doesnt want to see him just coz of his irritating celebration of praying every time he scores. It's as bad as Bale's heart sign!

Fucking pathetic.

The work should have been done and the fee paid ready to announce the new signings on the openong day of the window as a huge sign of intent.

Instead, once again, it's groundhog day.

Just fuck off.

[Ralpheroo72]

All the 'we can compete shite' is just that. Gazidis is an incompetent fool. Incapable of closing a deal, and selling the vision (which we don't have). Other clubs just go for players, show ambition, and sign them up. Heck Swansea look more attractive, and sign players. This close season is panning out as expected, cue the half decent type start, followed by apocalyptic collapse come January. Yay us!

Call me a cynic but the £30m offer to me seems like a plause to appease the fans when its becomes clear that we wont sign any more players this summers.

Wenger and Co. will come out with "we made big offers" etc knowing full well that Liverpool were never going to sell Suaraz for £30m, let alone to Arsenal.

No.

It's a kick up the arse to real madrid. A really, really obvious one.

[Kano]

if that is the case, and the media know, and we know it, surely madrid know it to so it loses affect. they'd also know £30m for suarez couldn't be serious bid as they know the market rate and may well have sounded out suarez agent for valuations already.

Considering we are still being linked with every man and his dog, I'm going to maintain my belief that, whilst there is no smoke without fire, our fire burns very cheaply and haggling over comparatively little amounts, despite all the faux bravado from Gazidis, will see another disappointing transfer summer.

[Marc Overmars]

Time for Suarez to come home.

[selassie]

*SIGHS*

So the Suarez bid pretty much confirms that we do not want to pay Madrid what they want for Higuain/they won't accept a penny less than their valuation of him. Seems a bit childish from both sides but we are where we are.

Aside from Higuain, I really don't see any other viable options, We are not going to sign Rooney or Suarez so who else is available?

I'll say one thing, our need for a top class Centre forward is very big and we shouldn't forget that, if we are what 4 or 5 million apart in our bid/Real's valuation for Higuain should we not just bite the bullet, pay the fee and move on to strenghtening other areas of the team?

Yeah I am kind of leaning towards that too. I geniunely think we are prepared to spend big but as usual it has to fit into our "flawed" approach of paying what we believe is the "right price", which more often than not tends to be quite a bit below the current "market price".

A lot of these big money offers we have put in tend to be "take it or leave it" type offers, in the sense that we put in an offer and then appear to walk away if the offer is rejected. This trend has been present for a few years now.

Come September when Sanongo is our only signing, Arsene and Ivan will come out with their customary "we put in big money offers for players but the price is too high"

[LDG]

What a load of shit (the suarez story)

Must be the heat.

[Kano]

this is also a terrible buying approach when you are not backed to the hilt with endless pots of cash.

ivan tells the world we have loads of money, the sky is the limit; perez tells his team to keep the price high and rinse arsenal for all the money they can.

seeing as higo has contract until 2016, madrid don't have to sell.

[Grebbo]

If we have actually bid for Suarez then it makes no sense at all. He's an excellent player but is he that effective in a 4-5-1 formation? I'm not so sure. Pretty sure he played on the wing when they bought Sturridge. No point spending £30m on anything other than an out and out striker.

He's also nuts and despised and on an 8 game ban for biting (doesn't bother me that much but should reduce the price) he also said he wants to leave England, which I can understand, so why would he want to come to us??

[Dicks and chicks]

anyone think we were behind the 30 million euro bid for stephen el shaarawy bid?

First of all the chances of any of the stuff in the media being true is very low. Whether it's world news, sport even the weather the media almost invariably hypes it, leaves out half the story or gets it completely wrong. And then they just make up shit. The media is the very worst place to go if you want information on which to base an opinion or try to figure out what's happening.

Then there's greed. The transfer window circus has five primary parties. The greedy player. The greedy selling club. The suddenly frugal buying club (city and the chavs excluded because they are comedy teams). The unimaginably greedy and corrupt agent and the hidden parties who have to endorse everything (a euphemism for taking bungs I expect). Aligning all these interests must be difficult at the best of times but if you have four sharks and a lamb at the table it's going to be twice as hard. I can't help getting this impression of our crack negotiating team all dressed in sheep costumes. Our shark, DD, is long gone.

Then there's the philosophy of the club. If you aren't really in it for the football and instead need everything to balance up nicely on paper I guess it's a lot easier to leave it if the numbers don't add up.

If there's any truth at all about Madrid upping the demands I guess they are the villains, greedy bastards who are trying to pile a little more greed on top. Super greedy bastards meets the world's ultimate miser, it's going to be tough to get a deal.

would have been very happy with him normally, but with this whole circus show going on, he does seem a step down from Higuain.

Not as good as Higuain no but he'll be cheaper, proven in the league and more importantly pisses on Giroud.

Higuain will never happen.

Not sure how much cheaper he will be, I would think that Villa would value him around 20 mill in which its stupid not to increase that slightly for a much more 'spectacular' signing so as to speak.

[Marc Overmars]

Wouldn't surprise me if Sperz went for him.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

he said a while ago he'd like to play for us, so put in a £15mill, standard wenfer bid and be done with it.

the guy is obviously a massive prick though and would be gone within a couple of seasons if a success.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Benteke is a natural goal poacher who also drops deep at times for great link up play. He was labelled Must Get long before we were ever linked with Higuain and would definitely improve our team along with a few other quality signings in positions already harped on about.

Still a Must Get.

Not sure the penny pinching ****s that run the Club are interested in any of those to be honest.

[Niall_Quinn]

Bentenke won't get a game, he won't start ahead of Higuain and Villa and Ibrahimovic and Rooney and Suarez. Doubt he'll come here.

Biggest contract we're signing this year is that of Wenfer. So, yes, Benteke just might come here.

[Harland]

Brilliant move by Wenger! Now that everyone is getting weary by the Higuain transfer that most probably won't happen, he decides to throw another exciting name in the loop!

http://gossip.ladyarse.com/arsenal/2013/07/08/exclusive-arsenal-to-meet-with-gareth-barry-tomorrow/


Regular readers of this site know that we rarely claim something as an exclusive and we rarely get information that others don’t have. The stories that we have got as ‘exclusives’ have all turned out to be right [Gervinho’s actual medical, Theo’s new contract terms and announce date, Peter Hill-Wood resigning] and the Adidas deal was correct before Puma came in with a great offer.
I tell you this to try and back up the story we bring you today given that I can’t actual reveal who told me and given this information it is now your choice if you want to believe what follows.
I’d rather not believe it if I’m honest.
According to my source Arsenal are holding a meeting with Manchester City’s Gareth Barry tomorrow [Tuesday] in regards to the midfielder joining us.
I don’t have any more information than that other than when it was first rumoured that we were interested in Barry I sneered at the rumour for a number of reasons.
Of course, meeting him and signing him are two very different things but speaking to some Manchester City people they are of the mind that City want to shift Barry on so he is available.
Just what we would do with a 32 year old lumbering midfielder who is on £100k per week I have no clue.
I’m sure Arsene knows eh?

Here's another link for good measure

http://www.dailystar.co.uk/football/view/325313/

[Harland]

I think we all know whats going to happen.

Benteke is probably off to Spurs.

Aston Villa will sign Higuain as Benteke's replacement.

[Cripps_orig]

Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler, 19, has opened the door on a possible move to Arsenal, Chelsea or Manchester City.
Full story: Daily Star


We need an attacking midfielder. He's apparently the next big thing in Germany.

Must Get

[Bergkampwonderland10]

We need them both tbh - awesome strike pair if you ask me. Been on about Benteke (and Begovic) improving us hugely. Pay the money. If spurs get Benteke, I'll be absolutely gutted. He wont go to Chelsea as they have Lukaku. He's already mentioned us in an interview too. Proven prem striker!

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Barry. :haha:

Signing Barry would be like signing Silvestre all over again....accept that we don't have Henry and Cesc anymore.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Barry. :haha:

Knew I should have been kinder to him.

[Niall_Quinn]

The Barry thing is a stroke of genius. Now we'll accept Grant Holt with a huge sigh of relief.

[Syn]

Good backup. Shrewd move. Fashionable to bash English midfielders but he does a steady job - exactly what you want from a squaddie. We need to add a DM for the first-team as well though.

[GP]

I kind of agree. Kind of.

[Dennis Bendtner]

We have Arteta to do a steady (better) job.

[selassie]

The sad thing is the Barry rumour is probably the most believable and likely of transfer to happen. Honestly what would he offer us? He's slow as f*ck and on the wane, DO NOT WANT.

[Özim]

Yeah great idea signing a 32 year old midfielder who is well past his best and hasn't performed well since he's been at Man City (since 2009). I agree this is the most believable as he'd be available on the cheap which is the kind of deals we like, hope this is BS though.

[Marc Overmars]

We don't need anymore squaddies or players to do a 'steady' job. Even if we did it would be better to buy a mid-range young player with room to improve. Not a washed up, limited player like Barry who can't even run anymore.

Go big or go home.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Have I ever mentioned Barry is terrible?

I think I'd rather Bendtner was in there, or a yoghurt.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Gareth Barry is shit, end of.

We dont need another average joe, just 2-3 top quality players.

But once again it looks like we're a contestant on bargain hunt, not a clue what were doing and buying shit that we think looks nice but will actually make a loss.

Words cannot describe how utterly fucking incompetent they are :doh:

[Özil's Panoramic View]

This smiley :haha: should long ago been rightfully renamed :GarethBarry:

He can never come here.

[JonasTC]

Its being reported that Bendtner is back to Frankfurt, accepting their offer. Malaga dropped him because of all the problems outside the football field

My thoughts is the idiot didnt care where he went and just wanted the highest money offer (except for staying ofc, since i dont even think arsenal would allow him to show up on the training grounds) and now he's crawling back to the only place that offers him decent money and playing time.

[Niall_Quinn]

YES!!!! Fantastic transfer window if this is true.

One of my biggest fears for this transfer window is that some of the players we are after, want CL footie and since we're not sure to be in the CL until the end of aug (or the 9th if we draw an easy team) we could be waiting 1½ months before seeing any big names comming in :s

I think you need to expand the scope of your fear. Far more likely is no big names will be coming in at all.

[Niall_Quinn]

So then, apart from talking about who everyone else is signing, any ideas what we can do on this thread while we wait for the transfer window to close?

David Villa ended up going to Atletico Madrid for £5m

Gervinho could be off to Roma. :wave:

Cesar going to Napoli.... :unsure:

Gervinho could be off to Roma. :wave:

CL deadline is where it's at, doesn't matter a whole lot if we drop a few points at the start of the season, we don't need to start well to get 4th spot.

Don't know what the fuss is all about, there'll be plenty of journeyman available at the end of August.

[Niall_Quinn]

Race for Benteke is between the chavs and the spuds according to the Daily Hitler.

[Niall_Quinn]

Given what we’ve got to spend this summer, wasting any of it on Gareth Barry would be hard to take. If Bender isn’t the guy, find another player in that age-bracket who can do the same job. We have a 30+ player in that position anyway, and the idea that Barry would be in any way an improvement on Arteta is laughable. Plus, it’s impossible to see how the next step from Bender is Barry. It’s like offering to buy a lovely new town-house, with all mod cons, before spending your money on a shack whose floors are littered with the corpses of small, decaying animals with walls smeared with shite and dried sick.

http://arseblog.com/2013/07/jenkinson-talks-new-kit-bendtner-going-horrible-thoughts/


Plus some good info on our best transfer last year, Steve Bould, and a silver lining - in the absence of a serious signing we have a lovely new away kit.

[JonasTC]

So it should soon be official that Frankfurt is signing Nicklas ****ner, he was photographed at their stadium yesterday, the stupid **** has just been waiting for Arsenal to give in, so Frankfurt will be paying what they offered him and Arsenal will pay the rest, so it matches what he would get at Arsenal for the next year.

Most arrogant fuck in the history of world sport, when you compare is shockingly limited talent to his hyper inflated ego. Muhammed Ali was arrogant but his talent matched it. And Ali had a sense of humour, Bendtner seems to believe the bullshit he comes out with about himself. I pity Frankfurt but I'm also pretty pissed at Arsenal for having this turd on the books for so long. Easily one of the biggest losers in football, such a shit we have to pay somebody to take him off our hands - that's how bad he is.

[Niall_Quinn]

I don't see the big issue. The best Bender alternative out there.

So many issues it's hard to know where to start.

First there's this claim we have £70mill to spend (yes I know, but just humour me) - I'd assume that fantasy figure is fees and wages. Then you add back the wages of the shit we've managed to flush so far (not nearly enough but something is better than nothing). That's the alleged, supposed, speculated pot we have to work with. Do we want to give Gareth Fucking Barry (GFB) around £4mill of that with another £4mill going to city?

Then there's the message we send. We sell our best players to our rivals and buy cast-off shite from them in return. The cheapskate, selling club tag remains.

He's a shit player, slow, brain dead, a donkey. How does he possibly fit into our style of play. So okay, our style of play is now shite, slow, brain dead but are we finally accepting that's the way we want it by bringing in the likes of GFB, or are we going to try and repair our game?

Yes, he's likely to be cover and not a starter (but let's not give Wenger the opportunity eh?), so why not promote somebody through the squad instead? Far better to give one of our own a chance to play backup than bring in GFB.

Then there's the fact he's an epic ****. I assume no explanation is required on this one.

I'm sure there's more but the above is enough. Benayoun was a laugh, but this isn't even a little bit funny.

I don't want Barry here either but rather him than Cesc.

Evening Standard: Arsenal improve on £30m offer to land Liverpool's Luis Suarez but moves for Fellaini, Higuain and Cesar look set to fail.

:haha:
No chance of Suarez unfortunately.

Impressed with the failure of signing a player who has a minimum fee clause and wants to play CL football, a keeper who said staying in London would be his priority and a striker we have been after for ages.

Cripps is right, Cesc is a flop.

-Was made the axis and captain of our last good team and won fuck all.

-feigned injuries, whinged and sulked his way out to join the Bar****s where he's flopped under 2 separate managers.

-a flop where the Spanish Nat'l team is concerned as well.

Don't know why anyone would want the **** back here, tbh.
