Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

[Niall_Quinn]

On the other hand, we did the mega-meh Flamini deal before signing Ozil. So now we are signing the Swedish bloke it probably means we are signing Ronaldo too. At least that's the logical assumption.

RedCrook is doing his car window shit. They just so happen to catch him through his car window every transfer day?

More Rosie action.

[Özil's Panoramic View]

Klastrum and Kalou would be our punishment for getting Arsene Wenger to spend 42m to sign Ozil.

Also, Maureen says City have ben lucky because many decisions go in their favour.

No change at Arsenal...Kim Kallstrom to be only signing unless there are unexpected changes. No push for Klose

Dont even want Klose in ? He'd cost like £1m-£2m , much less on a loan:haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Main thing is city got the points. Proves again why we don't need no stinking technology in the game.

[saintnickle]

But we're not signing this guy, he's being brought in because with the Flamini suspension and Ramsey injuried for longer time than expected, we're suddenly missing 2 players going into a tough run of games. This loan deal is just cover, because there is no other players available, i trust Wenger in bringing in the best players available right now and i have no doubt he will go for a top holding midfielder in the summer, considering arteta is getting to old and Flamini was always going to be back-up.

But who would you sign as a striker? Berbatov and Vucinic who alot of people in here wanted, are on level with Bendtner and are probably even more lazy and has worse discipline, that we have hated Bendtner for. I dont really see any other available strikers right now, unless we pay out Chelsea/City silly money and we all know, that is not going to happend. Hell, Chelsea need a striker even more than us and they havent even signed a new striker.


How in hell do chelsea need a striker more than us.They have eto torres and ba.We have giroud bendtner and sanogo.Get real

[Niall_Quinn]

How in hell do chelsea need a striker more than us.They have eto torres and ba.We have giroud bendtner and sanogo.Get real

We also nearly have Joel Campell who can play there. And Park.

[saintnickle]

It's a loan deal? That's better I suppose, at least we won't be stuck with him. So Wenger's approach to really kicking on and challenging for the title is to get an Elastoplast and slap it in the midfield? Apparently we had £70mill to spend in the summer. We spent £42mill, good stuff, thank fuck for that at least. What happened to the rest of the money?

No, not clapped out shite like Berbatov or nothing players like Vucinic. We need a statement of intent to re-energise the squad for what will be a tough run-in. We have the money, whay not show a bit of ambition and go for it? We aren't city you know, we have waited 10 years to make a challenge. It's not like we are asking to spunk cash all over the place. You average out the spend over 10 years and in realistic terms we've done almost fuck all.

We didnt spend 42m in the summer ,we spent in total 25m.So much for our newfound wealth,Cardiff spent more than that..

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In terms of goals, there isn't really much difference. 16 goals on both sides.

We both need a better one as much as the other and at least we know we will finally be rid of Bendtner this summer, although Chelsea can say the same about Eto'o I guess.

But they can rely on the 3, when we can only rely on one.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Have we actually signed the Swede.....? Seem to remember people having doubts over Flams but he has been great. Ready to give Wumger the benefit of the doubt but surely we should have brought more in considering l that are out?

Feel it's a useless exercise to ask questions during the transfer window :pray: last minute signing

[fakeyank]

Why do we need another midfielder?! And that too, a washed up POS from some shit league? We still have Rosicky, Ozil Cazorla, Arteta, Ox to pick 3 players from!! Wilshere is just out for this week, so that makes it 6 players available!!
How can we have let a realistic target like Berba go? This is a player who knows the pace of the PL, can create something out of nothing and wouldve cost us nothing... sure, he wont work hard for the team but he is miles and miles better than Bendtner, Sanogo, Park and whoever the fuck else we may have available, as back up to Giroud!

Oh dear lord, please no to Nordstrom or whoever the fuck he is.. please FFS sign a striker!!

[JonasTC]

But they can rely on the 3, when we can only rely on one.

Are u kidding me? That logic is retarded... None of them score goals, so they can rely on all of them? :D Atleast we have one striker who actually scores goals (yet still not enough).

[Munchies]

Are u kidding me? That logic is retarded... None of them score goals, so they can rely on all of them? :D Atleast we have one striker who actually scores goals (yet still not enough).

They do alot more for the team then say what Bendtner does.

Bentdner is a useless lump of shit upfront, if you cross it, 1/10 he'll score a header. He doesn't do much else, and has to be set up as he's always still.

Torres runs around non-stop, he might not get the goals, but I'd rather have a Torres/Eto/Ba than Bentdner who does fuck all.

We can't expect to play Giroud every game, so who do we rely on ? I'd rather have Eto/Torres/Ba than Giroud/Bentdner/Sanogo that's for sure.

Wtf does the chavs needing a striker have to do with us needing a striker? Silly, diversionary argument at best.

It came from someone mentioning that Chelsea always sign whoever they will and someone else saying we need a striker, and i commented that they probably need a striker more than we do and they havent even been able to get one. Mourinho even said at the press conference that they know who they want, but it wasnt possible in this transfer window. So when even the infinite money clubs have problems getting the striker they want, then who the hell do people in here expect us to sign?

[AKBapologist]

Stan Collymore has been on Twitter and it looks like he's heard whispers of Arsenal trying again for a transfer.

And it's a STRIKER, a real actual striker with two legs and everything.

As I said earlier, they really do need at least one:
Arsenal.

"Going back to Madrid to try one last time for Morata ".


More bad news for Arsene Wenger - and it's nothing to do with his hair stylist.

The Gunners have been trying to sign Barcelona's 18-year-old striker Munir El Haddadi for some time.

But the teenager has decided to stay put and sign a professional contract until 2017 even though Arsenal made him a better offer.

Why, if Wenger is interested in bringing Draxler to Arsenal, does he think he'll get him any cheaper in the summer? According to smudger on Sky he says Shalke were prepared to take less than the summer buyout clause. If that's true then we have fucked this up beyond belief.

Option 1: Pay maybe £5mill over the odds for, a good young player with massive potential, an international, a possible replacement for judas, another German in the squad, a shot in the arm for our title challenge, a message to the players and fans we are big time serious about going for it, a message to the opposition we are back and in business, or:

Option 2: Get some 31 year old nobody from a nobody league on loan.

Difficult decision.

We wouldn't let him go in the summer when he had already burned all his bridges, he seemed a completely useless player and we had Walcott fit. I find it hard to believe the club would consider letting him leave before the summer.

No, he was only bought to keep the bench warm (it's not heated and in winter it gets quite chilly). He's doing quite a good job, though Wenger was a bit upset with him when he was injured and out for so long, talk was he was after another bench warmer.

Think he might have found one now so Podolski's days look numbered.

Wenger dropped, punctured, shredded, buried, composted, dug up and smeared the ball all over his genitals and arse. What a fuck up of a transfer window when we desperately needed a striker.

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Ian Ayre. :haha:

On this one specifically, it seems the Dnipro owner simply flat out refused to sign off on the deal.

Generally though, there is a worrying trend of fucking it up at the last minute.

He is going to get it in the neck from RAWK.

Oh well, so long as we keep Suarez fit and sane, we'll trundle on. We need to get our finger out for the summer or there will be some very loud dissent against Ayre and FSG. I'm too tipsy to take a more indepth view of our team. Sink our budget into Shaw [highly unlikely] and some big bastard of a DM. Forget Victor fucking Moses and Cissokho.

On a plus side, my calendar is now the new Pagani. Swings and roundabouts.

Your posts have been 10/10 today, that made me laugh yet again .

:good:

Sad state of affairs really, had 31 days and he done fuck all. He clearly knew we needed a striker, hence the move for Demba Ba last time round, but even with Theo out, he still didn't do anything. Onto you Giroud/Bentdner/Sanogo . The fucker even shipped out our best striker, Park :getcoat:

[GP]

You know what we should all do?

Cry about it.

[Niall_Quinn]

No, we need to get even.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

I'm not even annoyed with Kallstrom because I think he'll do a job. It's the other departments that we haven't strengthened i.e. striker.

Oh well. We need a huge amount of luck in the next few months.

Shortest speccy thread ever.

Nice.

Summer speccy thread surely?

[Grebbo]

We've had a lot worse transfer windows tbh. At least we didn't lose our best players.

We even managed to offload a couple of duds.

I didn't see any world class strikers switching clubs this window and I can't moan that we didn't spend £37m on some 20yr old. He probably won't even go to the WC so his value won't increase and if he's that good then why didn't any other club offer £37m for him?

I would have liked us to sign Berbatov though, I've always liked him and I think he could have done a job for us plus the spurs fans would have been livid which would have been nice.

Stop listening to the joke media :D How was a 20 year old left winger ever going to help us win the title? We have plenty of quality players for the offensive midfield spots.

If we ever buy him, its because Wenger wants to turn him into a striker and that project would probably take a few years before he would be a big impact.

isn't the fact he is injured quite fundamental to what we actually need him for and therefore is not a good signing.

Nobody has said that. Unfortunately the reality is we did go out and arrange a loan for an injured player. A mistake, they happen. But this is professional sport and the fans pay a lot of money for professional staff to run the affairs of the club. These mistakes need to be questioned, there's nothing unreasonable about asking the questions. And these questions give rise to other questions, such as why our club seems to be cursed with long term injury problems. Which leads to a central question, is our medical team properly competent?

Thx for a proper answer N_Q :)

I too believe that something must be wrong, but im not a doctor or running a football club, so i stay away from trying to 'correct' things like alot of people on the internet seem to want to do. What i do know, is that Wenger is not our medical staff and therefor i think its uncalled for, hating on Wenger for this. He were suddenly in a situation in the end of January were Wilshere and Ramsey were out for longer than what he was told and therefor he needed an experienced midfielder who could do a decent job for the next couple of months, i think Kallstrom were among the best options available on short notice and i guess the medical staff told him, that it was worth the risk?

It worries me that you needed a 'proper' response to why this is a bad deal!

[JonasTC]

Whatever floats your boat

[AFC Leveller]

Jan Aage Fjortoft believes Julian Draxler didn't join Arsenal in the January transfer window as Bayern Munich want to buy him in the summer.

[JonasTC]

Dont twist his words dude. He said Draxler wanted to join us, but Schalke said no and then he tweeted that it was maybe because Bayern stopped the deal, promising Schalke they would pay whatever in the summer :)

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

It's been questioned as to whether we actually bid altogether. Another unnamed team apparently bid for him which Schalke rejected.

Even if that isn't quite true, we should be prepared for the competition to be aroused by Draxler now. If this January has done nothing else, it has alerted everyone to our interest in a very young talented player.

[AFC Leveller]

Dont twist his words dude. He said Draxler wanted to join us, but Schalke said no and then he tweeted that it was maybe because Bayern stopped the deal, promising Schalke they would pay whatever in the summer :)

I didnt twist anything, just copied and pasted it from another site dude.

[AFC Leveller]

Some journo asked Maureen why he didnt sign a striker in January and he said something along the lines of "we dont sign a striker now but in the summer you'll know why". Rumors are that they have agreed a deal with Falcao.

I think the reason they havent yet clicked is becayse they dont have a world class striker and if they do get Falcao then we'd have some serious competetion in our hands next season.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

It would be disgusting if they got him....

[Niall_Quinn]

We're out of the running for Draxler now. This was our chance but we decided the fee was too high. If no other club is interested in the summer I guess we might get a sniff again, but that would rely on the player being anonymous during the World Cup. Which then begs the question, would we want to spend big on a player who failed to impress on the biggest stage? Kalou remains the most likely bet.

I still think we're the most attractive club for Draxler, most other clubs only have more money to offer and i guess if they really wanna pay 150k+ wages for a 20yr old who may or may not be world class and i dont really see him being in the category of Nasri, Hazard, etc. who just goes to whoever offers most money. Anyway im not sure he's going to have a big impact for Germany this world cup, he's still only 20 and they have other more experienced players who are performing better right now for same spot.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

In fairness, it's only injuries and/or the prospect of a group stage dead rubber will allow Draxler much of a chance to play for Germany in the summer.

So long as we have our German contingent we'll have a good chance of getting him. Him going to Bayern would be crazy.

[JonasTC]

Considering he would be behind people like Gotze and Kroos, who are already struggling with getting stable playing time. Dont see it happening.

Draxler's not the only option for the summer, of course. But with the (let's face it) little we all know about him he does seem to be an Arsenal style player. If I was running things (which in fairness I should be) I'd have taken the risk now. He wanted to come here, his wages are low(ish) so there's room for him to grow into our wage structure, it would have been a boost across the whole team and it would have been a fucking watch out message to the opposition. Schalke held the cards in terms of the fee, so negotiating on that was a waste of effort. We had to bite the bullet or not, we choose the latter. I think we'll finish the season and progress through next season regretting we didn't act decisively in this window.

Agreed he'll probably play a bit part in the WC, but if he even drops hints of his ability you know what the money bags clubs (not just here in England but abroad too) are like, they'll write the cheque without thinking too much about it. We're not in that league, we have to run things as a proper club and a proper business. Which always leaves us with our nose pressed against the glass on transfer day. Any chance we get we should take because it's ten times harder for us to get a deal done at the top level by comparison. £200K a week wages from the comedy club city will put and end to all talk about what;s best for the player. I'm chalking this one up as the one who got away.

[JonasTC]

But is he really the player we want now? I'd rather we go out in the summer and get a quality proven striker and holding midfielder, im thinking Jackson Martinez/Diego Costa and Lars Bender/Morgan Schneiderlin/Victor Wanyama.

Enlighten me. Were we obliged contractually to take the player even before his medical? Surely not. So Why. The fuck. Would we take a player on loan for the rest of the season who is injured for half of it?

[Niall_Quinn]

Only the relevant people inside Arsenal can answer that and until they do it remains a Bermuda Triangle/ Who really built the pyramids type of mystery.

[Özim]

This will not happen, we'll do our usual scratching around for a few months, the World Cup be on and so we won't be able to sign anyone then, then after the World Cup Wenger will say prices are inflated because of the World Cup and we'll sign some two bit nobodies towards the end of the window.

I don't trust Wenger to do the necessary in the transfer market, simply because he never has.

[Özim]

This whole Kallstrom episode really makes us look like a joke, why would we sign a player on loan who's out for 6 games when he's really only cover for injured players who should be back around then?

No sane individual would do this.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

The special eejiot has someone in mind for the summer.....and that could be Diego Costa (what with having the same agents) but who knows.

Jonas - Draxler is without doubt not the finished article but there's no reason why he could not have had an impact similar to Reyes when we signed him. I remember Reyes really giving us a push in the FA cup and just giving us more of a direct option in the league.

Draxler is unlikely to be exhausted by his exertions at the world cup, although it is worth mentioning that even our very own Gnabry is being seriously considered for the German squad.

Reus is ahead of him at this point too...

[IBK]

Only the relevant people inside Arsenal can answer that and until they do it remains a Bermuda Triangle/ Who really built the pyramids type of mystery.

I think David Icke knows

[Bergkampwonderland10]

I have a feeling we are going to sign Benteke! :)
Ok...so I'm quoting myself from 23.01.2014...a year and half later...any closer to this happening?
Not sure he's the kind of striker we need although I think he'd be very useful... Only Giroud has any sort of physical presence up front. However if someone like Higuain became available...think I might prefer that option.

[GP]

We're not signing Benteke.

[McNamara That Ghost...]
