Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Harland]

Game time I guess especially in a World Cup season.

Who would keep Di Maria out of the Argentinian first eleven? I'll be much more happy with signing Di Maria than I would be Benzema, that's for sure

[Ollie the Optimist]

Also, we're The Arsenal. A massive club. And we are actually quite good sometimes.

no we are not. we're shit. everyone says so.


mind you, given how shit we are, how shit does that make spurs? spend more then us every year and still cant beat, even when they go 13 points clear.

spurs :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Don't know but it's natural to think that if you're not playing games for your club, you won't play much for your national side.

[Marc Overmars]

Ollie's heel turn was short lived.

[Cripps_orig]

Ollie's heel turn was short lived.

He was WUMming this whole time.

He fooled us all

[AKBapologist]

Fuck that shit, just offer them all 200k a week like city did, big club, small club, they don't give a shit. The only thing that matters is their bank balance.

[Harland]

no we are not. we're shit. everyone says so.


mind you, given how shit we are, how shit does that make spurs? spend more then us every year and still cant beat, even when they go 13 points clear.

spurs :haha:

We used to be comparing ourselves with Utd, and laughing at Spurs as an afterthought.......

How times have changed... not taking a knock at you Ollie, was just reminiscing.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Ollie's heel turn was short lived.

or a couple of very good wins, gives me some hope back. im still annoyed at the club for not having made any signings, im just not going to moan about them when its clear quotes ahve been taken out of context etc. going into villa game with 13 fit players is still unforgivable, even going into fulham with 1 CB is not acceptable but if we can make signings this week and beat spurs, villa will be a blip. its still not good enough, but its better then nothing.

but right now, we have something posistive about arsenal, two wins.

[Cripps_orig]

2 wins and everything is right in the world again with some fans.

This is what Wenger was banking on.

Expect no players. With fans like Ollie who will be happy no matter what Wenger does, tis club is going down the toilet

[Ollie the Optimist]

So you hate Wenger then?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I think the biggest story here is that Cripps nearly replied to GP directly.

:blink:

Also, the idea that us losing every game is going to lead to us some grand realisation that we'll spend money on fantastic players, no matter the cost is, I think, a bit silly. We didn't do it after losing to Galatasaray in a friendly and we didn't do it after losing to Villa either.

[Ollie the Optimist]

So you hate Wenger then?

whats that got to do with anything? nothing. and why hate the man who gave you some of arsenals greatest moments? oh yes, because you want attention.

you posted saying after some wins taht all was well again for fans like me, despite me saying in my post that i wasnt happy with lack of signings. but then again, that involves reading, and you haven't mastered that yet

Yet you have renewed hope after 2 wins v pubbers.

Renewed hope for what? Finishing 4th?

That's the problem. We should be aiming for higher

[Globalgunner]

:lol: Even the manager admits we're not a big club anymore thanks to him!

Nah! I'm sure that's not what he said. That is the media brainwashing us and going out of their way to cause friction between us fans. Just like Wenger never said 4th is a trophy. Eh Ollie, see I can do this too.

i said i have some hope back, theres a difference. two wins in two difficult games, turkey away, and wet conditions away at fulham. last season in bright sunshine we struggled there. two wins, with some stand out performances, gives any fan some hope, because their team is winning and winning well, it also gives me slight hope we might make signings. if you look at wins in a negative light as some clearly are then of course no hope comes back, but any arsenal win, gives me some hope. after losing to villa, it was doom and gloom, 2 good away wins bring some happiness back, if we can add some good signings in and beat spurs, confirm CL group stages, then august will have been a very good month with just a blip. if we cant, then questions ahve to be asked, and wenger better have some dam good answers

[Ollie the Optimist]

Conveniently ignored by the Wenger can do no wrong brigade :lol:

he said that, fair enough. we cant say we are a big club, but we can say we are at the same level we were when he took over. he took us to higher levels, just brought us back to where he started

[Özim]

whats that got to do with anything? nothing. and why hate the man who gave you some of arsenals greatest moments? oh yes, because you want attention.

Yeah undoubtedly some of Arsenal's worst moments as well, but putting that aside 8 years of averageness is enough, time to wave goodbye to him he's lost his edge and can't compete in modern day football, we've got first hand evidence of that.

[Özim]

he said that, fair enough. we cant say we are a big club, but we can say we are at the same level we were when he took over. he took us to higher levels, just brought us back to where he started

Rioch got sacked for that, maybe Wenger should too.

He's gone past his sell by date now, all we can talk about is former glories which are almost a decade ago now.

Rioch had one season, brought in some good players and changed our football then got the sack, I thought it was very harsh at the time. Wenger has had 8 years now it wouldn't be harsh to get rid of someone who's had their chance.

I think we'll sign someone but you can forget all the big names.

It'll be a pubber from the French leagues.

For me and from what I've read on here and seen at the Emirates, all hope is gone.

2 wins doesn't change that

[Ollie the Optimist]

Rioch got sacked for that, maybe Wenger should too.

He's gone past his sell by date now, all we can talk about is former glories which are almost a decade ago now.

i remember what happened with rioch, but he wasnt there for long was he? months?

fans talk about past glories as much as wenger, 1989, 1971, 2004. you cant just blame wenger of that when fans do it too

[Özim]

He had one full season.

The problem is we're talking about former glories of our current manager because he's unable to move with the times. People usually talk about former glories of former managers not those of existing ones. I just don't see him ever delivering success anymore and thus for me it makes no sense to keep him on, he doesn't even want to invest in the team.

Nothing wrong with that chant. It let's the board and Wenger know exactly how people feel without being offensive.

It's just I disapprove of people on here calling him a cunt and treating him like he's some heinous Nazi war criminal. Get some perspective please, you can want him gone without losing any respect for the guy, his achievements and his desire to see the club succeed.

Respect is a bit of a reciprocating value. And, to be fair to the fans, Wenger shows scant regard where this is concerned.

[Özim]

I've lost respect for him, he lies, patronises and points the fingers at others including the fans, it's no way for a manager to behave IMO.

There's about 3 people who still want him here, why hasn't he got the message that noone wants him at the club anymore?

Spot on, he shows no respect to the fans, his latest comments is further proof of that.

Big Sexy crying out for more signings again



"I'm on a good run, I feel really confident. I feel good in the games and I do the job on the pitch. No doubts, no more questions.

"If there is a new striker coming, it's good for the squad, and I try to give it up for the team, help the team to win. Nothing more."

He added: "I did well (at Fulham), like the team. I really wanted to help the team to win after the bad result against Aston Villa.

"We were really disappointed with that and we wanted to correct it and dictate the game. That's what we did, like in Fenerbahce, and we are really pleased with that.

"We really wanted to show that the squad is together. We want to give an answer together on the pitch, and we did that. We played really well and we scored three goals, and now we are really confident."

Something about him irritates me. Good player though. If there's any chance of Barca selling us Sanchez I'd prefer for us to go for him but this guy would also be an exciting player.

[Marc Overmars]

Every time I've seen Di Maria he's looked quite good to me, seems like he's a very effective winger who's comfortable cutting in or going on the outside. Some very impressive assist stats as well, although I suppose they should be looked at with a pinch of salt considering the players he's had scoring off his passes.

Better than what we have so sign him up.

[Penguin]

I'd prefer Sanchez too, does he want to leave Barca? I'd be ecstatic if we signed either of them, fantastic players.

For Wenger's sake I hope we do make a marquee signing of that caliber. We might have to overpay a little but the fans have had enough of the transfer BS.

Probably with Levvy playing hard ball with them over Bale they probably feel they need to sell half their first team to finance the deal.

Really how much marketing capital and shirt sales can you really expect to make from a shaved chimp

[Bergkampwonderland10]

It's no longer even the transfer market but also the way the 'football' is being played under him. Yes the ref was shit, but that team should have beaten Villa at home. The midfield pass the ball to the defense, who pass the ball to midfield who pass it to the defence who pass it to midfield and then pass to Giroud who loses the ball because of a shit first touch.

Players like Higuain, Bernard, Gustavo, could have done so much, but they're not joining us, and it pisses me off as they were available.

It's absolute rubbish now, there's hardly any creativity, and for opponents, we're now really predictable in our play. We've regressed with Wenger, time to go.

Higuain scored last week against Italy, Walcott/Giroud can't even dribble/shoot the ball like that

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hGzQiI0QTsk

Didn't Higuain just dribble shoot himself off a boat and broke his jaw?? Thought I read it somewhere in the paper.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

still though silly sod.....did he think to himself these rocks aren't going to be treacherous and slippery

No malice towards Higuain we were the ones who decided not to sign him, not him not wanting to join us which i am pretty sure he did.

Better than nothing but I still don't understand why we just don't pay over the odds for Lars Bender who was clearly identified as our first choice target, the most desired and also the most suited to fit into our team.

Why don't Wenger and Gazidis put some faith into their scouting system and pay over the odds to get their man instead of just giving up after the first rejection? He's 24, has looked amazing, has far more potential than Cabaye and plays for a team where we can legitimately be considered a step up having CL football and all. He's prime gettable.

Who gives a fuck if we pay 5 - 10 million more than he's worth now? It'll be worth it in a few years if he's the final part of jigsaw and helps us go on to win something.

[Cripps_orig]

As long as it means Arteta is left out then I'm all for Cabaye coming home.

Wasn't he the Lille captain when they won the title few seasons back?

Hopefully we don't get that treacherous cunt Cabaye. It's a disgrace he refuses to play for the club and fans who pay his wages. Hopefully nobody buys him and he ends up rotting in their reserves.

[Grebbo]

I still think we're gonna spunk £50m in this window. Be interesting to see if Wenger can attract anyone away from joining Man U as I reckon we're going to be in for the same players eg Di Maria, Ozil, they even wanted Cesc FFS. If Cesc joined Man Utd over us it shows how far we've fallen. I'm sure Cesc would join us over them if he thought this team could go places, I'd have thought winning a trophy with Arsenal would be much more satisfying than with Man Utd.

Cesc, Di Maria, Ozil

:haha:

Yeah right.... we're gonna spunk £50m on junk aren't we.

[Munchies]

Wenger had identified a new central defender as a priority, but Sagna’s performances, Thomas Vermaelen’s pending return to fitness and the imminent capture of Flamini mean the club are no longer seeking a new defender.


One of Law’s main objectives was to rubber-stamp a deal for Mathieu Flamini, who trained with the Arsenal squad yesterday.

Law held a meeting with the 29-year-old defensive midfielder and his agent at around 1pm, with a deal expected to be confirmed before the weekend.


Of the three, Arsenal believe deals for Di Maria and Ozil will be the easier to conclude, with Benzema understood to be reluctant to leave the Bernabeu.

Law will look to conclude moves for Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye and Valencia goalkeeper Vicente Guaita before next week’s transfer deadline after having bids rejected last week.

Arsenal are also watching Juan Mata’s situation at Chelsea. The Gunners, though, are set to shelve plans to find a new defender after Bacary Sagna’s strong displays at centre back.

I'm imagining all the gooners (inc myself) being glued to deadline day on SSN in the hope of a signing, and we end up with Flamini on a free at the end :haha:

Pretty much, the Real Madrid trio is just "wishlist" type stuff, we don't stand a chance of signing any of them IMHO.

Cabaye could go to wire, as could the Valencia keeper.

That's acceptable if he signs a back up right back. Sagna has played two games at cb. Sunderland and Fulham away and been superb. Sunderland match we were down to 10 men from 60 minutes too. Moving sagna is fine, as long as rb has a back up

[Marc Overmars]

Think I'd be more comfortable if we bought a proper CB for squad purposes, a few games from Sagan doesn't convince me he can do a job there full time. We'd need to get a right back in as well if that's the route Wenget wanted to go down.

[Cripps_orig]

Playing Sagna there is the cheap option

I can see sagna moving across to cb for good soon. He's lost some pace but can read the game and tackle. He would make a good cb IMO. I don't mind him being back up, vermealen is not to far away apparently so as 4 th choice back up, he's dine. But a another right back is a must if that's the route we take

[Gooner23]

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Thank god we aren't getting him then.

We need someone who doesn't play the pass, pass, pass, pass, concede, pass, pass, pass, chance to shoot but fuck that, pass, pass system we play

Have you even seen him play? :lol: He looks like the real deal.

Amazed that you of all people wouldn't want him here seeing as you're bitterly opposed to Arteta and his 5 yard passes and Bender would represent a complete upgrade on him.


Who the fuck is Lars Bender, the whole time, I thought you guys were just making fun of Nicklas.

He's the guy we had an 18.5 million bid rejected for at the start of the transfer window. He was identified as our first choice DM signing and someone who would improve the team tremendously. He's basically a must get.

Unfortunately instead of trying to wrap up this deal last season and so being in a position to announce it before the window officially opened we dithered as usual, waiting till the start of the window to begin negotiations by which time Leverkusen had already sold Schurle and Carvajal to Chelsea and RM respectively meaning they don't need the money and are also extremely reluctant to part way with another one of their stars. Congratulations Dick Law and Gazidis.

If we want him now we'll have to pay over the odds for him now, but with our cash reserves I don't see why that should be a problem especially if it means we can capture our first choice target.

[Cripps_orig]

It's more a criticism of our system than the player.

I don't mind him as long as Arteta is out

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Yup, after watching the Fenerbache and Fulham games, it's clear that we play a much more brisk and fluid game without Arteta there passing back to Kos/Sagna and Mert at every given opportunity.

Hope we get in a proper replacement before he's fit again.

He's a problem. He hardly collects the ball from the defenders and usually points to them to make the forward pass. Never tries to shake his marker or receive the ball under slight pressure. He needs acres of space before receiving the ball. We really do need a better DM.

Arsenal to table audacious Rooney bid

The Gunners have been given private encouragement that Manchester United would be willing to sell them the England talisman after ruling out off-loading the 27-year-old to Chelsea

Arsenal are preparing to table an audacious bid for Wayne Rooney later this week.

The Gunners have privately been given encouragement that Manchester United could be willing to sell them England’s talisman in the last week of the window despite their public insistence that he is not for sale at any price.

United are now determined not to sell Rooney to Chelsea, whose manager Jose Mourinho has given the striker until Wednesday at the latest to force through a move to Stamford Bridge. However, the Premier League champions are believed to be open to a £25 million-plus offer for the player from Arsenal, who they do not regard as a fellow title challenger. Arsene Wenger is poised to make his move at the end of the week if, as expected, the Londoners secure qualification for the group stages of the Champions League by overcoming Fenerbahce at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday after winning 3-0 in the first leg in Istanbul six days ago. Arsenal have turned their attention to Rooney after all but giving up hope of capturing Luis Suarez from Liverpool or Karim Benzema from Real Madrid. It is expected that Wenger will sanction a bid of bid around the £25m mark for Rooney, who has been the subject of two formal offers from Chelsea this summer. United manager David Moyes has insisted that the club do not want to sell Rooney and maintained that stance after the 27-year-old’s impressive display in the goal-less draw against Chelsea on Monday night in what was his first start of the season. A third Chelsea bid for the England international would now be rejected out of hand, despite United's mooted interest in Blues playmaker Juan Mata, because the west Londoners are regarded as a direct rival for the league title. However, United are believed to be more amenable to a move from Arsenal and a shock switch to north London in the final days of the window has not been ruled out by sources close to the situation. Arsenal had registered an interest in Rooney as they prioritised the signing of a marquee striker and they have continued to monitor his situation this summer while making concerted attempts to capture Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain.

The Gunners also made an enquiry for Real Madrid’s Benzema last week but they accept they have run out of time to capture the France international this window given the complex chain of events required to take him to the Emirates. A move for Rooney had been on the backburner but it is now firmly back on the agenda given the informal indications Arsenal have been given that the player is both available and would be interested in a surprising switch to north London. Moyes has spoken warmly of Rooney’s attitude in training and his general work ethic but the player is still believed to be seeking a fresh challenge at an established Champions League club. His name was chanted throughout Monday’s game by both United and Chelsea fans, while Mourinho said afterwards that he needs to go public if he still wants to move to Stamford Bridge or the Londoners will complete the signing of another striker, understood to be Samuel Eto'o. "The person that started the story has to finish the story," Mourinho observed. "A club like us, a manager like me, the people that work in the club with me… we are not silly to try to get a player from a big club that doesn't sell what they don't want to sell. "We are not silly to try something if somebody didn't start it. So I think it is time for the good of everyone to finish the story. For one side, for the other side." Asked to clarify whether he would like Rooney to state publicly if he wanted to quit United, Mourinho replied: "Yes, I would like. We are going to close another player if he is not coming. "It depends on this [Rooney's decision]. It depends on his reaction and his feelings. If now he doesn't want to leave, we are out of the thing. But we need to know. We need to know what is happening." Mourinho said he would wait "24 hours, 48 hours". Pushed on why he had said Rooney had started the transfer saga, he made it clear that Chelsea had been encouraged to pursue the player. "I know because I know." The information, he said, had been passed to Chelsea because "he told somebody who is very important in his career".

Lets hope he's half right

[The Ogg Monster]

Does anybody actually want rooney here?

I fucking well dont. Hes past his best and wont fit into our style of playing at all.

I seriously doubt wengers after him either hes an un wenger signing, no way will rooney come here.

Character wise, I really don't know. But he'd suit our style of play without a doubt. He likes to drop deep to pick out passes but can also be clinical in the box and make good runs. He'd fit in. He's get the freedom he wants in this team.

[Cripps_orig]

Yeah cos our style of play has been so great :lol:

We need players in who can improve it, not fit in to it.

Arteta for example fits in to our style perfectly and he's been nothing short of pointless

[Marc Overmars]

Great attitude and desire to play the game he loves, certainly the type of player you want on your side and not against you.

It's true, we really don't have a style anymore.

But for what we're trying to achieve with this 4-3-3, we need a central striker that can be the link between the two wide strikers and midfield. It's all very disjointed at the moment because none of the front three are great creative players.

[Xhaka Can’t]

At the beginning of the window I didn't want him. I'd take him now. If we are going to sign an asshole, it may as well be Rooney as he is less likely to get suspended than Suarez.

[Syn]

Still Chelsea bound. And failing that, he stays. Can't see us giving the wages he would want.

[Niall_Quinn]

It was mentioned during the match tonight most of the top players (top as in everyone else bar Wenger's definition) will be away on Internationals during deadline day. This board has been so lucky in this window. Now they can claim they couldn't arrange medicals, couldn't find the player, so many possible excuses.

[Munchies]

Sevilla have confirmed that Geoffrey Kondogbia is to buy-out the remainder of his four-year contract, which has a €20million (£17.2m) release clause. The midfielder is now widely expected to join Monaco. A Sevilla statement read:

Geoffrey Kondogbia is already history at Sevilla FC. The French international has officially informed the club that he will unilaterally rescind his contract.

Wow.

[GP]

What a dickhead.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

It's a weird situation in Spain, I think the players have to actually go to a bank and give the money for it to be then transferred to the selling club. :wacko:

At least that was mentioned for when seemed Spuds would pay Soldado's buyout clause.

[Marc Overmars]

I doubt it's coming out of his own pocket, clearly the shady fuckers at Monaco are footing the bill.

After watching Wenget's post match interview, it seems even more unlikely that we'll sign anyone really good. Sounded like someone who has realised he has fucked up. I think he'll go for volume again like two seasons ago - get the fans talking a bit about the new faces before the novelty wears off. Then Wenger will pray the first-team from last year stay fit and improve.

He's better than Shdbrkdhfnrnny but top 3?

Who would you put as the other 2?

[Master Splinter]

Krul is decent, but is just as prone to mistakes as, well, most keepers these days.

There's very little difference between all these highly-rated, definitely better than any post-Seaman Arsenal keepers that are trotted out as a solution. If there was one that had shown consistent brilliant form for a number of years and was realistically attainable, then by all means, buy him. As it stands though, Szczesny is actually pretty good and there's unlikely to be many top, top, top, top quality goalkeepers that are infinitely better than him in every regard actually available. I suppose 'experienced' back-up for the unreliable Fabianski would be useful though.

[Cripps_orig]

Should've got De Gea.

Rocky start but brilliant now. Best keeper in England.

How Napoli got Reina, I'll never know.

Begovic is a must get

[hobson's choice]

He's better than Shdbrkdhfnrnny but top 3?

Who would you put as the other 2?

Right now, I only have Cech, De Gea, and he's on the same level as Lloris, and Hart.


And he doesn't make mistakes, he reads the game very well, and whatever mistakes he might makes, comes from the two ogars playing infront of him. Just my opinion, but I rate him highly.

[Cripps_orig]

De Gea for sure.

Cech isn't as good as he once was. Hart is toilet.

I'd put Mignolet and Begovic up there.

[Master Splinter]

Lloris and Krul make as many, if not more, mistakes than Sir Chesney. Lloris was flaptastic at Lyon. He seems a little better now, but he's not secure at all.

Hart :haha:.

[hobson's choice]

De Gea for sure.

Cech isn't as good as he once was. Hart is toilet.

I'd put Mignolet and Begovic up there.


Cech still comes good, Mignolet is good stopper, but he looks like he has a bit of Almunia in him. And Hart did have a bad season last year, but I still rate him.

[hobson's choice]

Lloris and Krul make as many, if not more, mistakes than Sir Chesney. Lloris was flaptastic at Lyon. He seems a little better now, but he's not secure at all.

Hart :haha:.


I don't really see mistakes from Krul, and i've watched a good portion of their games since he's got there. Yeah his first season or so, he was a bit rash at times, but he's gotten better, and a lot more disciplined.

[Cripps_orig]

If we want a keeper and we desperately need one, one of Akinfeev or Handanovic will do.

Both quality, mid to late 20s.

Wenger doesn't want to pay him 80 grand a week. A bit silly because he wouldn't command a huge transfer fee, he'd cost around £2m-£4m, compared to someone like Begovic who'd cost £15m

[selassie]

If we lose out to Galatasaray :haha:

Ozil won't come here but hopefully Mert and Pod work their magic and somehow convince him we are the right club for him

Stranger things have happened!

I dunno..if Di Maria is actually on the market and we show a bit of ambition he might be attainable IMHO.

The problem is we seem to have such a rigid criteria when it comes to purchasing players that I could see us bulking and walking away.

In fact, I wouldn't be surprised if we end up with nobody due to Principles and all that shit.

We have clearly been after a number of players this summer, some have slipped through the net and gone elsewhere, others we just seem intent on haggling and trying to drive the price down.

[Marc Overmars]

I wouldn't be surprised if Levy & Co are dragging their heels for the sole purpose of keeping him long enough to play against us then chucking him at Real Madrid on deadline day. They've already spent the money on bolstering the Team, so it's not as if they have to panic buy on the final day of the transfer window.

This also hinders us, as I don't see Real Madrid selling any of our alleged targets until this deal is done. :/

I wouldn't be surprised if Levy & Co are dragging their heels for the sole purpose of keeping him long enough to play against us then chucking him at Real Madrid on deadline day. They've already spent the money on bolstering the Team, so it's not as if they have to panic buy on the final day of the transfer window.

This also hinders us, as I don't see Real Madrid selling any of our alleged targets until this deal is done. :/

Then we should go all in to break his legs :satan:

Mata coming home?

A reluctance in England to sell to each other. :lol:

Except for us.

It's quite possible. I think it's more likely to be Real Madrid trying to make it spread over as many payments as possible, one way or another it's surely going to be resolved with them selling somebody. Hopefully.

They're parochial tbf. We sold to them and we still maintain the same level. :scarf:

Any good?

Spuds are in talks to sign Eriksen for £12m

Surely he's worth a punt at that price, surprised no teams have gone for him really

[Cripps_orig]

Ffs

That guys quality.

[Ollie the Optimist]

It's got to the point now where part of me wants us to spend no money just to see what would happen

Also, most of me thinks no signings will be made anyway

[Cripps_orig]

We all know what will happen.

We've see in past 4/5 seasons

[McNamara That Ghost...]

All this has sprung from them supposedly making a £7 million bid, nothing about them being in talks or anything.

They would have made fools of us all.

[AKBapologist]

What about Juan Mata then. This is a wonderful little story and tells us a lot about the world we live in. Last night a French journalist tweeted that Juan Mata's dad - Juan Mata Senior - was at the Emirates to watch Arsenal take on Fenerbahce. This was picked up by BBC 5 Live and reported by them. By the end of the night, some Arsenal fans went to bed thinking that their club would sign the brilliant little Spaniard. What they probably didn't know was that the French journalist had deleted his tweet and moved on.

This, of course, doesn't mean that Mata Senior wasn't there. He could have been there. Does anyone know what he looks like? Did anyone spot him at the Emirates? Evidence please!
*sigh*

We are signing some world class player called Jack Shit. Wenger is on his high horse again having secured champions league proper. In his crusade deluded warpped mind, he knows this squad will make 4th place, so he wont go and buy. Flamini will be the only signing before deadline day mark my words.

Also heard a rumour Mata will be signing for Spurs before deadline day in £28 Million cash deal and will wear the no 11 shirt. A mate of mine who's a painter and decorater was working at Hoddle's pad in west london. If this happens I will hang myself :(

Maybe..possibly...we've left ourselves in such a delicate situation regarding Player recruitment, what makes it even worse if reports are to believed is that we're pinning our hopes on purchasing players from Real Madrid on the basis that they sign Bale and the players we are after actually want to come here?

Our lack of planning and hit and hope strategy is nothing short of a disgrace. We are supposed to be an Elite European club.

That's what I heard, it wouldnt surpirse me. Why wouldnt he sign for Spurs? They are a club moving forward, a new stadium has not limited thier excessive spend in the transfer market, they are a club with ambition first unlike our club. They have one of the top traning complex in Europe with a great young and up coming manager. I think we are just a little tad envious of our neighbours down the road, dont you think.

Jealous of spurs? Jealous of a team who's season aim every year is to beat us? A team who have failed to beat for us for 19 years? A team who has won about two trophies in 20 years compared to how many we won?

Jealous of spurs? Only one response left and that's


:haha: :haha: :haha: :haha: :haha:

Idiot

[Özil's Panoramic View]

No reason whatsoever to envy that shower, tbh.

We are The Arsenal.

They are pondscum.

U should become a sp*rs fan, u hate everything about arsenal and love everything about them... Its a nobrainer :)

I've been looking at Chelsea's squad and they're definitely missing that kind of player.

I agree. Mourinho is using Hazard and Oscar as man markers so a bit of creativity is needed.

Di Maria doesn't want to leave Madrid, http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2013/08/28/4219164/di-maria-i-dont-want-to-leave-madrid?ICID=HP_BN_3


"I understand that the club is strengthening and they are precise in what they do, But I signed up to 2018 just a year ago and my desire is to stay in the Bernabeu."

According to Moronho, Mata isn't going anywhere, http://www.goal.com/en-gb/news/2892/transfer-zone/2013/08/28/4219057/mourinho-mata-is-not-for-sale?ICID=HP_BN_4


"There is no chance Juan goes,He had a very small pre-season after the Confederations Cup. And during that pre-season he was injured.He started training two days before we played the first league match.

Unless we bid big, this lot won't come to us. I think we all should accept this fact and be happy with Ryo, Gnabry, Yaya and Frimpong covering our first eleven. In Wenger we trust :coffee:

As long as the club accept that attendances and gate receipts will be down and that most people won't renew their season ticket next year. Than we will all be happy

£12mill is an awful lot of money. That's almost Wenger's and Gazidis' earnings combined FFS! Not sure we should be spending huge amounts like that on players. Seems imprudent, especially in a recession. What would the fans think if they are scraping together the huge ticket prices and suddenly the club just blows £12mill? It would be insensitive.
