Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Rors]

The most shocking thing about today?

Not a single interview with Crooknapp.

We had the 'pleasure' on Fivelive about an hour ago..

[Rors]

You've been saying this for a while now Hughes..

[Ollie the Optimist]

according to wayne veysey and goal.com we are now working on a striker deal. doesnt say who, but says unlikely but not impossible

[Munchies]

Spud :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

I will be extremely disappointed if Natalie Sawyer doesn't strip down naked before transfer windows closed tonight. :coffee:

From all the female presenters they have, that's the one they choose for this night?

She isn't the best

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Our fans are back. :bow:

[Marc Overmars]

according to wayne veysey and goal.com we are now working on a striker deal. doesnt say who, but says unlikely but not impossible

Hope this is true but I doubt it.

[Rors]

And that's a 0.5 Stoke :lol:

[Munchies]

Herrera off :haha: :haha:

[Rors]

Herrerra deal off :haha:

Hemlock for Moyes...

[Marc Overmars]

From all the female presenters they have, that's the one they choose for this night?

She isn't the best

She is tbf, that's why she's in the main event tonight.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Herrera deal dead says Balague. :lol:

[milla]

From all the female presenters they have, that's the one they choose for this night?

What do you expect from Sky? Miss Universe? Playboy bunny? :coffee:

[Ollie the Optimist]

this united news but this is brilliant. apparently the united representives who went to sign Herrera were imposters.


moyes :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Cooper. :haha:

Speak louder man!

[Marc Overmars]

They'll probably offer something stupid for Fellaini now in desperation.

[Munchies]

Man with the beard and no teeth :haha: !!!!

[Marc Overmars]

WTF?!

[Cripps_orig]

She is tbf, that's why she's in the main event tonight.

Nah

She looks old and ugly. Not a good combo.

Time for Millie Clode to come home

[Munchies]

Imposters :haha:

WTF ?!?!?

[Cripps_orig]

Moyes :haha:

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Millie Clode is little bit pregnant tbf.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

moyes :haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

That can't be true.

Surely that isn't true.

It'd be shambolic.

It'd be shambolic.
Calm down calm down

I'm sure Millie Clode being pregnant isn't that bad a news

[Ollie the Optimist]

WTF?!


yeah SSN had it. apparently they were nothing to do with united

[Marc Overmars]

Olivia Godfrey :bow:

Oh yeah forgot about her. She looks nasty. In a good way.

Sawyer has a bit more class about her than the others though, hence why she's the best.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

So having woken up and gotten my arse into work in NZ imagine my surprise to find we've signed Flamini, Sanogo and some bloke from the Young Ones.
Is it just me or do our transfer dealings smack of incompetence and piss poor planning. I'm sure the Ozil thing will be announced some time in the next hour but unless a super top quality striker and a back up CB come with him i'm still going to be fucking disappointed with this transfer window

Alan: Can someone teach the Manchester United board how minimum buyout clauses work? Can't get the Herrera one right and let Fellaini's expire!

Mark Roberts: Rumours are that David Moyes is hanging on for a marquee signing after George Weah rang him about his cousin.

Didn't he do or nearly do similar again the week after?

Chelsea won't let us have him

[LDG]

Spanish football writer Andy West: "Some bizarre reports coming out regarding United's collapsed Herrera deal. Apparently a group of men claiming to be United representatives spent an hour at the La Liga offices in Madrid today, but it turns out they had nothing to do with the club and were presumably just attempting to get a cut of the deal in an elaborate fraud.


:haha:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

He scored against Madrid a few days before.

Wasn't a lob though, sadly.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

More on the Man Utd saga: Men in black suits with suitcases apparently. :haha:

Yay, finally a done deal. Now buy a striker and a back-up CB FFS!

Absolutely priceless :haha: :haha:

Özil speaks
“I am thrilled to be joining a club of the stature of Arsenal and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League. It will be great for my own personal development as a player and I am particularly looking forward to working with Arsène Wenger.

“From our negotiations it is clear the Club has huge ambition and I look forward to being part of an exciting future.” from the guardian transfer page

Come on Arsene. Now the big one is done, time for a quick trolley dash :pray:

[Master Splinter]

Unless Wenfer decides to surprise us again, this is still overall a negligent and quite simply amateurish transfer window. Seems he will remain WUMger.

Ozil is brilliant. But he's definitely a "we've done fuck all so here's one massive coup of a signing that will hopefully more than momentarily make you forget we have a flimsy transfer strategy."

A striker with excellent pedigree and another efficient attacking player was needed. Ozil covers one of those. Considering the current state of the squad, and the ever-flimsy nature of our players, solid back-ups at the back and in midfield were required. Flamini isn't in theory a bad option for one of those requirements.

So two positions fulfilled. But there's the nagging feeling that the positions unfulfilled are where we will suffer over a long season as usual and the fact that the club didn't have the inclination or maybe more worryingly, the ability to negotiate deals successfully with all this supposed money is quite ridiculous.

Now, I wasn't voted second most optimistic poster of the year in 2006/2007 after Cripps on GW for no reason, so I'll go back to my usual Ned Flanders-esque self after this post. But as ever with Arsenal, it feels so nearly near yet so frustratingly far.

Anyway, come on Sanogo, And come on Viviano. And come on Ozil. And come on tennis.

[Rors]

White pretending that news came through on his earpiece there. Do us a lemon son...

Ba to be welcomed home then?

[Cripps_orig]

We needed more than Ozil.

Have to hope Giroud doesn't get injured or we're fucked

[Japan Shaking All Over]

does seem like we shit ourselves when we got Ozil.......crawled back into our safe shell to count the pennies we still have......shame, striker is a big need still

[Boss]

Chris Borg, ESPN staff
Sheer bizarreness connected with Manchester United’s collapsed move for Ander Herrera. The Press Association takes up the story: “It appeared three United officials had arrived at La Liga headquarters in Madrid to complete the formalities that would allow Herrera to finalise a move to Old Trafford. However, it now seems the trio were imposters and had nothing to do with United at all.”

:haha:

Hard to disagree.


(Seriously)

[Niall_Quinn]

Who cares. There was a huge chance we'd end up with nothing. We've ended up with Ozil. Don't care if it was a panic buy. We're going to see some genuine world class talent in our shirt again. The norm has been completely reversed. No players sold (apart from the shite) and one of the top players in the world brought in. I'll take it.

[Rors]

We're down to one minute and change!

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Still time for us to blow all the money. :pray:

Ozil is fantastic but I would have taken Ba as a back up if we werent serious about bringing in anyone better than that......Chavs didnt want to parle but will let him rot in the reserves......suppose thats the risk you take when you join a Chelski or Citeh

[Niall_Quinn]

RvP :haha:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

we still can work on loans?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

'Arry couldn't help himself.

Raids the scum for Carroll and Eousso-e (however the fuck you spell it)

[Boss]

Everton have signed Gareth Barry on loan and James McCarthy for 14M apparently.

[Ollie the Optimist]

Now confirmed that they were #mufc imposters in Spain trying to close Herrera deal. Er, crumbs.

this is from guardian journalist jamie jackson on twitter.

if this is true, then jesus thats funny

[Munchies]

RVC :pal:

[Cripps_orig]

still a chance then I suppose

Maybe

BBC saying failure to get Ba was down to us not wanting to pay what Chelsea wanted for a loan fee

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Everton get McCarthy and keep an unhappy Felliani

[Cripps_orig]

What home game will he be at ?

Who?

[Boss]

Reports in Belgium suggesting Fellaini to United is a done deal - it needs to be to give United some thing to shout about

Apparently Everton have taken Barry on loan at 120k pw. :lol:

[Seaman's Ponytail]

Maybe

BBC saying failure to get Ba was down to us not wanting to pay what Chelsea wanted for a loan fee

3 million for 1 year loan is a little bit ridiculous when they only paid 7.5 mill for him tbf

[Munchies]

Who?

Ozil, checked his home debut could be Stoke :lol:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Maybe

BBC saying failure to get Ba was down to us not wanting to pay what Chelsea wanted for a loan fee

OK Ba may not be the most suited to Arsenal but 10 goals plus the winner in the CC would pay back a fee of 2 or 3 mil

[Ollie the Optimist]

also apparently united paid an extra 3.5 million for fellaini when he had a release clause for 23.

moyes :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Ozil

Stoke is our next home game on the 22nd

Going to that. I wasn't planning on it

[Cripps_orig]

3 million for 1 year loan is a little bit ridiculous when they only paid 7.5 mill for him tbf

We have the money tbh and he's miles better than Bendtner and Sanogo.

[Cripps_orig]

OK Ba may not be the most suited to Arsenal but 10 goals plus the winner in the CC would pay back a fee of 2 or 3 mil

Everton have managed to get Lukaku.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

[Cripps_orig]

Fellaini has joined Man Utd

Might have got Coentrao as well on loan

[Cripps_orig]

Fellaini is quality tbf but he had a clause for £23m which expired a month ago and Mancs pay £26.5m

Moyes :haha:

Coentrao deal seems a bit odd to me....Not sure where that one came from.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

[Japan Shaking All Over]

no news about us doing a cheeky loan move for anyone

[Munchies]

Coentrao just seems like a Crooknapp for the sake of it signing.

If I was him I wouldn't be best pleased being a just-hold-on-and-if-we-don't-sign-Baines-by-10:59-we-will-be-back-for-you-signing. The loan element suggests that too.

[Ollie the Optimist]

He's worth half that.

Everton have strengthened a LOT

he also had a buyout clause for less then what united paid for him

united :haha:

[Marc Overmars]

sounds like we offered 2......Maureen blocked any deal

Pity we didn't have any other strikers in mind.

[Munchies]

We had a while to get a proper striker, but we got Ozil so fuck it

Bendtner though :run:

[Master Splinter]

He's worth half that.

Everton have strengthened a LOT

And subsequently weakened by signing Barry.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Man Utd playing lump it up to the big men. :bow:

I forgot about that.

£28m for Baines and Fellaini...

£27.5m for just Fellaini :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Statisticians Opta: 11 - Marouane Fellaini scored 11 PL goals last season, only one Man Utd midfielder (Kagawa, 6), scored more than two. Welcome

Mancs favourites for the title now they got the midfielder they needed in

Ffs

[Cripps_orig]

Listening to TalkSport, some dude from Palace is on and he's saying the deal for Bendtner was agreed between 2 clubs and the player but Arsenal told them that cos Podolski is injured, Bendtner won't be sold unless we got another striker in.

We didn't.

Ffs

[Munchies]

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2QOjPmjT_Os

He's ours :bow:

The power comes from the towel vest, not the player.

[Traxion]

I am sure another of those talentless apes has a long chuck on him

[KSE Comedy Club]

Well, that's another shite transfer window from us tbh.

Don't get me wrong, Ozil is a fantastic signing and we've paid some serious cash for a change, but

It's not enough, ffs. We needed another 2 players at least and one had to be a striker.

The very thought of playing bendtner is fucking cuntish tbh.

All our eggs in one basket again. Why we didn't just give the chavs the £3m for Ba on loan I'll never fucking know.

Gross incompetence again.

[Ollie the Optimist]

can we leave the moaning for a few a days at least and just bask in beating the scum and siging Ozil? come on, its much more fun :)

[Cripps_orig]

There will be a time where I will look back n this transfer window and see it for it is, a horrific window but now is not that time.

[Cripps_orig]

Apparently Coentrao didn't go through.

Unconfirmed atm

[AKBapologist]

*sigh*
We could have signed so many decent strikers this summer...

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Most of them should have by now.

[Cripps_orig]

I know the German one was 5pm today

[Munchies]

Downfall of united :pray:

Moyes guaranteed that, just a matter of letting him do the job.

[KSE Comedy Club]

By all means, feel free not to moan if you wish.

But the fact is Ozil is not the saviour and we have come up short, again.

We needed a striker but didn't get one thanks to too much fucking about.

I bet if we were serious we could have got Rooney today, do the same as utd did to us last summer.

I not going to act all amazed and spunk myself to death because we've bought 1 (admittedly, amazing) player and a GK that we really didn't need. Other positions were far more important today.

[Master Splinter]

RVC under threat of losing his starting spot now that Screech has joined them?

8 years going backwards but finally we've reversed direction. That might be the most we can really hope for in what has to be stage #1 of a plan to rebuild the team. You have to hope so anyway. It's the stature of the player that's most important here, a genuine world super star coming from Madrid to us for a change. Lot's of reverals today and all in our favour.

[AKBapologist]

We needed a third goalie more than ozil tbh.

Flamini looks good enough for CDM. Sanogo better get wise ASAP.

But hey, one nil to the arsenal needed to be brought back tbh.

[Munchies]

Coentrao Staying

Can't disagree too much with that, but don't forget footie is a results driven business. When we struggle to win against big teams or have ever degrading injury spirals then Ozil, like Cesc and Rvp before them, will seem to only be papering over the cracks.

[Cripps_orig]

Ben Smith, BBC Sport
COENTRAO UPDATE
"BBC Sport has learnt that Manchester United did submit their paperwork for their season-long loan deal for Fabio Coentrao before the 2300 BST deadline. But the move will only go ahead if both United and Real Madrid entered the correct details of the deal on Fifa's new transfer matching system. The deadline for that system closed at midnight."

:popcorn:

[Munchies]

Gonna head off at 1ish, hope the deal is dead 100% :pray:

[Cripps_orig]

Ozil is a small step in the right direction.

We aren't going to become a great side again over night.

To get a genuine world class player knowing how shit we are reminds me of finishing 12th back in the 90s and getting a world class player the following summer who went on to become our greatest player ever.

fair enough back then we were shit in the league but had just reached back to back finals in Europe so had something about us. This is even bigger cos we are genuinely horrific.

no one expect Ozil and to get him is the stuff dreams are made of

[Kano]

Confirmed?

He's a very good player

If true then it's a decent deadline day for Mancs.

Fellaini and Coentrao are quality.

[Munchies]

Usually I only go to a few games a season from left over tickets ... tempted to get red membership now

Ozil :bow:

[Cripps_orig]

This is what Wenger should have done at the start of the window.

The fans are buzzing.

I was at the Villa game and the atmosphere was extremely glum. Nt one fan there was excited football was back and you could see it on the pitch. Benteke and Anthony Taylor then destroyed us and Wenger should have walked then.

But now hope is rekindled

[Munchies]

Even the players on the pitch are excited , and they deserve it, the whole mood of the place is high now.

5 year deal, and he's only 24 and on the up. Apparently rejected more money from PSG (Telegraph) to play here and will be a fan favourite.

Arteta/Ox/Pod/Verm are all to return aswell.

[Munchies]

Seems united got him ...

Man United and Madrid have both submitted the papers for the Coentrao loan move. Should be confirmed in about 15 minutes [BBC Radio 5 Live]

[Ollie the Optimist]

last minute loan deal and paying over fellainis payout clause at the last minute after several top midfielders in europe rejected you. not the best window for moyes.

moyes :haha:

[Cripps_orig]

Offering 28m for both Fellaini and Baines and then getting the former for 27.5m is panic buying in the extreme.

As good as Fellaini is, he's not worth that

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal smashed their record transfer by signing Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid for £42.4m on a dramatic transfer deadline day as summer spending in the Premier League also reached a new high.
Marouane Fellaini's last-gasp move from Everton to Manchester United for £27.5m meant that the total topped £600m.
United boss David Moyes also hopes to capture Real's Fabio Coentrao on loan.
Everton boss Roberto Martinez signed Gareth Barry, Romelu Lukaku and James McCarthy as the deadline concluded.
Wigan midfielder McCarthy, 22, moved to Goodison for £13m, with Chelsea forward Lukaku and Manchester City midfielder Barry joining on season-long loans.
The five completed deals were all concluded in a dramatic final half-hour of the transfer window before it closed at 23:00 BST, with the gross spending easily succeeding the previous high of £500m.
Manchester United failed to land a last-day deal for Athletic Bilbao midfielder Ander Herrera and it looked like it might be an unsuccessful final day for Moyes, with Uruguayan right-back Guillermo Varela the United boss's solitary signing since he replaced Sir Alex Ferguson in the summer.
And adding to the plot twists, it was not until after the deadline had passed that news emerged of midfielder Fellaini joining his former Everton manager at Old Trafford.
It is understood that Manchester United were also working on a deal to bring Everton left-back Leighton Baines to the Premier League champions but it fell through, leaving the Old Trafford club to work on a season-long loan for Portuguese left-sided defender Coentrao, 25.
Liverpool avoided the last-minute rush by earlier recruiting defenders Mamadou Sakho and Tiago Ilori for £25m while Nigerian forward Victor Moses has joined the Reds from Chelsea on loan.
Italian striker Fabio Borini left Anfield to join Sunderland on loan with former Liverpool defender Andrea Dossena, 31, also moving to the Stadium of Light from Napoli on a one-year deal.
Black Cats forward Stephane Sessegnon has moved to West Brom to join forwards Victor Anichebe, another late capture from Everton for a fee rising to £6m, and Shane Long, who almost joined Hull.
The recruitment of German international attacker Ozil on a five-year deal will appease Arsenal fans who have been waiting patiently for a big-name signing.
Ozil, who is classed as one of Europe's best players, said: "I am thrilled to be joining a club of the stature of Arsenal and am looking forward to playing in the Premier League.
"It will be great for my own personal development as a player and I am particularly looking forward to working with Arsene Wenger."
Elsewhere, Aston Villa have agreed a deal for Czech Republic striker Libor Kozak from Lazio for about £7m. Newly promoted Crystal Palace signed Barry Bannan from Aston Villa and defender Adrian Mariappa from Reading for an undisclosed fee.
Fellow Premier League newcomers Cardiff City signed striker Peter Odemwingie from West Brom on a two-year deal for £2.25m.
Queens Park Rangers boss Harry Redknapp managed to secure the loan deals of Dynamo Kiev midfielder Niko Kranjcar, Tottenham left-back Benoit Assou-Ekotto and midfielder Tom Carroll.
Gareth Bale's world-record move from Tottenham to Real for £85.3m was more than double Ozil's fee but Spurs are the biggest spenders this window having taken on seven players for just under £105m.

I'm still not thrilled with this window - but what a signing!

That said - if there was a transfer strategy and this was our target all along, it was pretty much impossible for it to be done earlier than the end of the window. Had Ozil been dealt earlier, RM would probably have had to part with more for Bale.

I hope we are in with a shout in January and make further moves in the market. A good start and this statement of intent could make us an attractive proposition for top players.

[Marc Overmars]

I think we needed cover up front and also at the back.

With Podolski out an injury to Giroud would leave us very limited and we really need Vermaelen back in the squad soon.

Not 100% satisfied but absolutely delighted with Ozil because it represents a shift for us. Statement of intent and hopefully shows other top players that Arsenal is a club for them.

This.

The Ozil signing has masked what would have been an absolute "car crash" of a window, but it is a superb signing none the less, bonafide world class player.

Still think we need a CB to compete with the 3 Senior ones we currently have and a Striker is also a major priority.

Assuming we can get through the season with Giroud, Poldi & Theo taking up the reigns, a World Class Striker should be the priority next summer.

I personally think the Ozil signing will open the floodgates in terms of attracting the best.

[PGFC]

I'm guessing it is because the Spuds had already got rid of so many homegrown players.

[Cripps_orig]

Should've kept Bale and played him at left back tbh

[Boss]

I'm quite happy overall with our transfer window dealings this season. While some may have thought we have more pressing concerns, scoring goals has never really been our problem. Quite Higuain probably would have improved us, I'm happy we decided to believe in Giroud eventually - I think he's capable of being a lot, lot better than most predict and is capable of getting 25-30 goals a season. We do have Walcott that we can play centrally before we have to rely on the likes of Sanogo and Bendtner.

Signing a pure defensive midfielder would have been a plus but none really moved that would benefit us too heavily and when everyone is fit our midfield is quite strong - Cazorla, Wilshere, Ramsey, Rosicky, Flamini, Ozil, Arteta all competing for 3 slots can only be good for us. The likes of Ramsey and Rosicky should be versatile enough to play there without too much strain when Flamini or Arteta aren't fit. Last thing we needed was a backup CB but guess we'll have to hope Mert and Kos stay fit forever.

[selassie]

Man Utd didn't get Coentrao. :lol:

They had a very poor window, comical TBH. The Thiago saga, then bidding for Fabregas when he made it clear he didn't want to go there, the Herrera saga and the Imposters :lol:

Then overpaying for Fellaini.

Brilliant. :dance:

We have no cover for Giroud, no quality back up for Ches.

Have to hope both stay fit and on form. First team wise, we should be ok. Squad wise we are short. Our kids are shit these days so can't rely on them.

Ozil of course is a brilliant signing and hopefully he performs straight away

[Özim]

I think Ozil is a fantastic signing, real top quality player who will inject pace and genuinely improve the team.

Probably not the position we most needed to strengthen however if a player of this quality comes up it's hard to refuse to opportunity to sign him as he's better than what we have by a long way.

Agree with Cripps though, could have used 1 or 2 more to give us a bit more depth, up front we're definitely short and it would have been good to have some options, a quality CB too would have been handy.

[KSE Comedy Club]

This.

Ozil is an awesome signing, no one can deny that.

The problem is we have come up short in other areas, 3 months and we've only signed 1 top top player. It's not good enough when squad wise, we are too short.

Ba on loan would've been good, but signing a half decent striker, like benteke, or really pushing for Rooney would've been better and given us more strength in depth.

As it is, we're looking like we'll end up playing bendtner, zelalem and akpom, ffs.

[Marc Overmars]

Ozil lessens the need for a top striker as I'm sure he'll create more than enough for Giroud and others, however I do think cover was needed because we seriously can't expect Sanogo to step up so soon and Bentnder, well, fuck knows why he's still here but whatever. Theo can of course be moved central but then that leaves a space on the right where the options become limited again.

Vermaelen should be back after the break. He was a bit shit last season but hope that's over and done with.

Can't believe we are relying n Bendtner should Giroud not be available. He can't play every game so expect to see Bendtner in our cup games

[LDG]

Obviously we have to enjoy a massive signing like this. It's what we've needed for years now, and really changes the whole outlook. We've shown that we are ready to go for worldies, and it shows the ambition we have been wanting the club to show in the transfer market.

I'm not overly concerned about defence, or midfield, as I think we have enough there to cover us, unless we're really unlucky with injuries again. We have 3 first choice CB's with a very good stand in (Sagna). We have 2 right backs, 2 left backs and Flamini as cover. Can we call back Miquel if all goes tits up? I think getting another quality CB is pushing it too far, as no big name would come in to sit on the bench. We'll see.

Midfield is stocked full of talent now. And the good thing, is that they can all interchange. We may lack a little width, with Theo being the only real outlet....but I think he wants to bring on Gnabry and Myachi....who lets face it, will need games to prove whether they have what it takes.

My one bug bear, is in the Striker department. I wish we could have added something there, because whilst Giroud is better than some think, we are relying on an unproven back up in Sanogo. We just have to hope there is something else in the locker there that we haven't seen yet....Akpom?

Bendtner can fuck off.

[Syn]

Losing Podolski for 3 months is a big problem. But we should move things around now. Walcott should be given a chance as the central striker now that we have a great player for starting counter attacks. Giroud back-up.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Also a CB was a must too. I could live without a keeper if we'd have gotten a decent CB in.

What really gets me however, is there were some AST members saying on twitter that discussions over a new contract for wenger would take place at the next meeting.

Sorry, but buying 1 WC player isnt enough for him to redeem himself. He's still got the January window and the rest of the season to go before any sort of talks should take place.

[Cripps_orig]

Think Theo and Podolski when he's fit will be our go to options if Giroud isn't available.

It will mean Ozil and/or Cazorla on the wing though. Ryo has been shit on loan at every club and Gnabry looks average

[KSE Comedy Club]

I really don't understand why we didn't get a striker in???

We still had money and there were still some options for the right price
