Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

Cutting to the chase - there's one, single national newspaper in the UK that is somewhat legitimate. That's the Financial Times. It has to be fairly legit because it would lose it's entire readership overnight if it wasn't. If it's in the FT there will be at least elements of truth to the story, most of the time. Every other newspaper is pure shit.

I think we should ask for a lot more than £8mill.

Campbell is better than Balotelli. Shouldn't we be asking for the £8m.

I wonder why we've been earmarked as a destination for this Balotelli bloke? If he was worth anything we'd hardly be sitting here watching the fee tumble, the chavs or gypos could find £8mill down the back of their sofa.

Being Mentally Ill doesn't do wonders for your transfer value, he's very inconsistent and frankly i think the Italians find it embarassing having a melanzana as one of their own so they are probably wanting rid of him

The other BBC guy is saying we're in talks for Schneiderlin too

[The Emirates Gallactico]

A bit odd to have a medical before a fee has been agreed. All the rags are starting to report this as well which indicates there's some actual fire behind this.

Probably does mean that Jenks will be off then. A shame because if Jenks could play half decently at CB he would be a valuable asset to keep in the squad. As just a rightback I don't think they'll be any use for him now what with both Debauchy and Chambers now ahead of him.

There is a possibility however that Wenger may convert him into a CB as he can also play there which may mean Jenks stays. A bit risky to try it out but if Wenger sees real potential in him then perhaps it could turn into a real masterstroke.

As for the kid himself, from the limited I've seen and read about him I do heavily rate him. Certain to become an England regular in year ahead of that fraud Johnson and should turn out to a solid dependable Sagnaesque right back for us.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

BBC reporting 16 million as the fee.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/28497920

Quite a lot of money and I reckon we could have got him for a lot lower before Southampton received the Lallana and Shaw money. However if he's the long term guy we've identified then I'm glad we've gone in decisively for him and got our man instead of reflecting back in two years when he's lighting it up at Chelsea after signing for £30 million.

[fakeyank]

Wonder if he is going to be the man to play CB or as a DM. Jenks time is definitely up :(

[Thierrymon]

Dont really know anything about him but it is a big fee for a young player so AW must see something in him. Getting worried about our lack of CBs. Looks like Verm will go (although I suspect it will be a transfer deadline deal) and that leaves us with Kos and Merts? Seems mental, especially coming off a world cup year.

Also, a DM is a must. I've read that AW fancies wilshere there which is bonkers. We are in desperate need of a physical presence in that position. I think Diaby should be treated as luxury given his injury record and we should not hold out on buying someone for that position because he is currently not injured.

Has there been any new info on that goalkeeper we were rumoured to be buying?

The latest on goalkeeping front seems that Wenger has been quoted that Sczceny will start as number 1, then it's down to performance for Ospina to challenge him.

Ospina seems a done deal. Probably will confirm once we get back to the UK.

I think we'll pick up a DM, get rid of Flamini and possibly a few other kids (Coquelin, Hayden etc) and that'll be that. Don't think we'll sign a striker or a CB based on the fact that assuming Chambers and Ospina are done deals, that'll already be 5 new additions to the first team squad which is probably the maximum you can do without disrupting things too much. Just look at Spurs last year.

Think Wenger has said he normally doesn't go for more than 3 new first team players per window but I suspect his hands been forced this window what with the Sagna and Fabianski departures and increased fan/board pressure.

As for CB shortfall, we'll hopefully tell United to fuck off and force Vermelean to stay but instead of Wenger almost totally isolating him like last season, we rotate him into the team a lot more so as to give him a decent number of games. If we're lucky we could maybe perhaps convince him to sign a new contract.

If we're really crafty we could ask Mertesacker to return a week early as I think he's the type of person that wouldn't mind too much. I believe the FIFA/Union rules state that we need to give every player a minimum of a four week break but we could have him make out that he's having his holiday at London Colney.

[sibreen]

Sanchez - 32m
Debuchy - 12m
Chambers - 16m

That's 60m in a single transfer window, before the season has begun.
And looks like more may be on their way..!

Mirror says 7 mil.....wonder which one is right

[Slacker]

Aside from all the kindergarten catcalling am I the only one worried about our lack of a spine? All you need to do is look at the defeats we had last season to realise OK we have good signings, but buying 2 good RB's and maybe getting a CD or CDM 5 games in is a good idea? We started last season without a spine and were smashed by Villa (and the ref, TBF).

I am sure some Gooners might be interested in our defeats last season and how they came about. I've only included early CL games as we went to Napoli with an understrength side and scraped it, then what happens in the last 16 isn't a surprise:

Villa (H) 1-3
Started brightly. We scored in the first half and looked comfortable for a while, but were soon on the back foot with the pace of Benteke, Delph, Weimann and Agbonlahor, players Arsenal management were totally familiar with ran us ragged straight through the rusty spine. Wilshere operated as a CDM, I think for the only time last season.

Agreed the ref was a disgrace but we were lacking a defensive midfielder, AW choosing to start the season with only Arteta and him not being fit to start. Crystal Pulis might be looking interestedly at our spine on the first game of the season.

Borussia Dortmund (H) 1-2
Rambo mistake cost us the first goal, second goal Lewandowski not being tracked back through the middle.

Again ref should have sent off Lewandowski, but the fact remains we conceded goals through the spine.

Man Utd (A) 1-0
Merts was ill and didn't start. Arteta was ill but did. RVP, well-marked by Giroud but still scored a looping header from a basic corner. TV5 played his usual marauding game but conceded the corner and ballooned a chance from the edge of the box with our last chance of the game.

We were poor, didn't have a beast of a CD or CDM and it showed. Ref was OK.

Man City (A) 6-3
Defence was a shambles and the spine crumbled every time City broke forward. Ref had a shocker and with a less biased ref we could have won 6-5. Lost Kos for TV5 at the end of the first half and the space the hosts had with the confidence they had coming off the back of a 6-0 drubbing of Spurs showed we needed a midfield beast or a decent replacement CD.

Everton (H) 1-1
OK not a defeat but a losing draw. Again looked ragged through the spine as Lukaku, Deulofeu and Barkley ran riot. Ref was OK.

Liverpool (A) 5-1
Total shambles all round. Monreal chosen ahead of Gibbs and Liverpool targeted him as Sterling, Sturridge and Suarez ran riot. Not just the spine that we needed that game, but balls of steel, but they were nowhere to be seen. First goal was offside and a few biased calls favoured Liverpool, but they murdered us anyway.

Man Utd (H) 0-0
AW decided we'd play for a 0-0 and that's what we did, although RVP nearly poached a winner near the end when the CD partnership had switched off. Ref was OK.

Stoke (A) 1-0
AW was again going for the 0-0 but the ref put paid to that. Can't point the finger at anyone in this game. Ref was a homer.

Chelsea (A) 6-0
See Liverpool (A). Ref had a shocker and perhaps we'd not have conceded that many if we'd had the 11 players on the park we should have.

Swansea (H) 2-2
Couldn't put them away. Bony beat TV5 for a good header, TV5 concedes too many good headers for me. We stormed back second half and then a crazy Flamini OG blew all the work. Ref OK.

Everton (A) 3-0
We had both Flamini and Arteta in CDM but Vermaelen (again) and Monreal were all over the show. Lukaku and Barkley killed us. Ref OK.

I know AW is an analytical genius and I'm not but he's collecting RB's like Mourinho collects midfielders. Hopefully he's right and I'm wrong but unless we shore up that spine I think City will comprehensively beat us in a fortnight and Palace will be looking to do a Villa on the first day because AW isn't addressing what to me looks like a weakness that can be exploited.

If anyone can see what I'm getting at I'd appreciate a reasoned response.

Think it's a smart investment, and the fact he's versatile probably twisted Wengers arm. You can't knock Southamptons production line so lets hope this kid is another gem.

Hopefully we're still chasing a DM, I'm worried he may leave things as they are with Diaby seemingly available...

I also think we need to convince Vermaelen to stay, even if it means him walking on a free next season.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

General consensus seems to be that we've moved for him a year early as he probably would have moved to Chelsea or City for £30m next summer.

Well done board + manager.

[Alpha]

Do we really need a DM ? I think not as I believe we have one already in Coquelin . Before he went on loan he was showing some very good signs in that department . He needed only games to gain more confidence and he had them in Germany . I suspect it is one of the reasons why Wenger doesn't want to be ransomed . We also have short-term solutions in Flamini and Arteta . Wilshere name is being included in that bracket but I'm not personally sure about him .
The greatest feeling is Diaby will do a RVP and rise from the dead . He will definitely have the greatest season of his Arsenal career . But if Wenger can add a Kedhira or a Calvarho or a Shneiderlin as a bonus , no complain .

[Syn]

Whether it's a proper DM or not, we need some sort of power in midfield. When Ramsey goes down we look like a complete mess. With Sagna gone as well we need someone who can win a few more headers, cover more ground and out muscle opponents. Our current options are either unproven or don't have the physical strengths needed. Surely we can't take a gamble on Diaby's fitness, and even though he has the build he doesn't seem to know how to use his strength.

[Alpha]

:doh:

Do you remember how people use to say about Wenger for giving RVP a chance to be our main striker instead of buying one when Adebayor left ?
I hope you do .

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Never thought I'd see Wenger sign a full back for that amount.....so he must have some ability if the fee is to be believed.

Not sure what to make of reports saying he is better than Shaw, as I am unsure of how good Shaw is himself. I wonder how he compares to that Stones kid at Everton people have started to rave about....



If Schindler's list said he would rather play for Spurs than us (as also reported?), then he's definitely not an Arsenal player.

We'll have to wait a couple of seasons to see how good they really are. But Chambers does seem to have better defensive qualities than Shaw, who is PACE and POWER at it's finest currently. Stones is primarily a centre-back, who can play at right-back. He looked good on the ball last season, which is almost a miracle for English central defenders.

[I am invisible]

I might have been worried about his height if I'd never seen him play, and was just going off stats, but having watched him at the WC I have to say it really didn't jump out at me as an issue - in fact I didn't give it any thought at all until it got mentioned on here? The only thing that really stood out was his level of performance, which looked pretty high (and I was particularly happy to see him claiming crosses confidently, instead of just punching everything out)...

[Marc Overmars]

I think agility is the most important thing for a keeper so as long as he can cover his ground well I don't think height is the biggest issue.

[Gooner23]

Neither Ospina or Navas are that tall and they were both outstanding in the World Cup I thought. Another top signing, what the hell is going on here!

Well I haven't heard/read anything about us going for anyone else, but everyone is saying he failed a medical.

I believe he has had heart problems which has delayed moves in the past, so it could be that.

Shame but hardly catastrophic right now I don't think. Unless he goes on to score a shit load.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

That begs the question on how is he going to move to any club now.

I'd save the money for the time being and see what happens by August, granted it was for only £8 million if it were to happen.

Actually think it's worked out quite well for us.

As most on here are aware I've got quite a hard on for Grease man but Sanchez is comfortably the better player right now so out of the two there's no question we went for the right player. However him going to Atletico isn't the kiss of death of us possibly getting him in the future as despite the good season their players still can be bought by a club like us. This probably wouldn't be the case had he ended up at PSG, Liverpool, United, Chelsea etc etc.

Probably will need to bid 40 - 50 million a couple of years now though. :coffee:

[Master Splinter]

Of all the players they've bought this summer, I think Lovren is the best signing Liverpool have made.

He's probably the most necessary quick fix they needed and will be a worth the money if he can become a steady presence at the back. Their defenders are either inconsistent or injury-prone or Kolo.

Bertrand Is Boss, do you see Lovren being first choice alongside Squirtle or Sakho? Or Kolo. I'm assuming Agger will probably go and Illori will be fourth choice.

In terms of talent and even instant impact, I think Markovic is by far their best signing. He looked impressive every time he played for Benfica in Europe and seems to be a really hard worker as well. Surprising that Chelsea didn't decide to hoard him too.

[Syn]

Hull bid £3m for Jenkinson. If he's serious about his career I think he should think about moving. From Arsenal's perspective I think it's unclear what the best solution is. He's obviously got a long way to go but he has impressed in games against good opposition. Had a few shockers too but so have most of our younger players like Gibbs and Ramsey. His strengths are obvious - he's a fantastic athlete, and much of football these days does tend to rely a lot on that. Just a shame he's allergic to the football.

Think we should probably loan him out and see how he does with regular premier league football. He'd be a first choice at Hull who would be defending all the time. If he's no good, we risk pissing away a million or two from the fee being offered now. If he's good we could get a higher fee or keep him in the squad next season.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

They need to invest in a defensive coach. I heard Rodgers was interested in bringing Hyypia back in that role but I'm not sure how much truth there was in that.

They need a Steve Bould to work on that defence and organise them. Individually they're good players but together they're a circus act. A bit like us 3 years ago until Bouldy came.

In an age of mercenaries who couldn't give a fuck about football or its traditions I think the value of a player who actually wants to be at the club and is proud to be at the club is overlooked. If the World Cup showed us anything it's that many of these "superstars" are only about 2% better than your average joe. Costa Rica, USA, and others demonstrated that teamwork is a viable alternative to 11 show ponies prancing around the place. We've got a good mix of stars and squaddies at Arsenal now, I think Jenks fits in well despite all the flak he gets. A loan deal wouldn't be a bad idea, but I hope we don't sell a decent enough kid who is learning and actually wants to be here. I don't want to end up with a squad of 30 mercs with their hands stuck out, always eyeing up the next move and talking shit about DNA. For those who say Jenks is poor, then what can be said about the £50mill David Luiz? Too much hype in footie, not enough genuine characters. Jenks is genuine. I like him. Hope he stays.

It's true but Wenger also values everything you mentioned there. He didn't give him many starts at all last year even though Sagna could've been a big injury candidate. Steve Bruce said he was led to believe Jenkinson was available this summer. Signs point to Wenger not really rating him, but nothing concrete yet so let's see.

[selassie]

I think if Jenko wasn't such an "Arsenal" man he would have been hounded out already. I personally like his dedication and feel he has shown some signs of potential, he is still very raw and makes plenty of mistakes though. Right now he is not at the level to be a regular starter for Arsenal, he's not even good enough to be backup IMO.

I personally would like us to keep him for now though, a season out on loan where he plays regular football in PL would be the best for all parties involved, at least at the end of his spell we could judge whether we feel he has a future at the club and if we don't feel he does...then hopefully he would be in a position where he would be ready to take up a new challenge elsewhere.

Or does that one only apply to foreign types?

[Niall_Quinn]

Right now he is not at the level to be a regular starter for Arsenal, he's not even good enough to be backup IMO.

Same could be said for a few of those players who turned out against the Red Bulls. As always, it has to be qualified because it was an early pre-season friendly, so fitness levels, getting back into the training regime all has to be factored in. But some of those players looked woeful nonetheless. I don't think Jenks is top of the list when we are talking about who's not up to standard. There are other candidates.

For sure, don't get me wrong...I actually think he is alright as a player, it's just I don't trust him yet, certainly not to perform consistently at a high level or even have an extended run in the team.

I do feel he would be better judged if he had a season out on loan in PL. Moreover once Chambers arrives, Jenks is 3rd choice right back, he will get practically no game time here.

[Marc Overmars]

Jenkinson needs to be sent out on loan, otherwise he's just going to drift off into obscurity. It's fairly clear game time is going to be extremely limited for him here.

In all honesty I only see him as a fanboy at the moment, not someone who will contribute to our season on the pitch.

I wish I could injure you. injury time.....I thought it was Khedira or Balocrazy

[Master Splinter]

Where does the myth that Jenkinson is guilty of error after error come from? It's a strange narrative that has built up around him and also Szczesny in particular and also Mertesacker, but that's mostly a media one. The fact that people who supposedly watch Arsenal on a regular basis perpetuate these myths is the oddest thing of all.

I'm not at all saying that Jenkinson is one of our brightest prospects or he fits like a glove into our passing game or that he doesn't have a lot to learn to become a much better player. But throughout his relatively small sample run of games in his Arsenal career so far, he's in fact been very steady and as a bonus, effective going forward too. I can recall a poor game when we were battered 8-2 at Old Trafford. But he'd barely played for us at all at that point and the whole team was atrocious so to use that against him is just ridiculous. He's made mistakes against Swansea and Chelsea in the League Cup, but other than that he's been solid and at times against really tough opposition in huge games. It's actually more of a surprise he played that well, considering his pedigree. And anyone bringing up a freak own goal in his first pre-season friendly appearance is again, being pathetic.

In his time here, I'd say Cazorla, Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshere and even the generally brilliant Koscielny have made more mistakes which have harmed us than Jenkinson.

I understand perfectly if you don't think he has a future at Arsenal or just don't feel he fits our style of play, but using nebulous negative evidence against a player is just disingenuous and more importantly, wrong.

It goes back to the weird fascination of some fans seemingly seeing the worst in all our players. Szczesny was one of the best keepers in the League last year (with the most clean sheets award to his name too which could be viewed as impressive) and was instrumental in rescuing us numerous times, but you'd think he was Robert Green such is the faint praise. De Gea, Cech, Lloris and even players like Begovic and Mignolet are apparently better just because. Not taking in to account that they have made far more mistakes over the last few years.

Anyway, back to Arsene McDuck's spending spree.

Don't even joke about that.

I can't see Lovren not being first choice. From there, who knows. I like Sakho but he needs a calm head next to him. I don't know if that is Lovren but it certainly isn't Skrtel who needs to concentrate on his own game before worrying about anyone else. Inconsistent ain't the word. There is some fuss about footed-ness which is totally blown out of proportion.

Agger is rumoured to be off anyway, along with maybe Lucas. Kolo is Kolo. Only he knows what is happening. Ilori I simply don't know. On loan again maybe. Would be nice if we actually played some of these young randomers once in a while. Maybe Kelly might finally make a charge for a place. He's well overdue an injury-free season.

I'm pretty excited about Markovic for the same reason. I don't quite get the "I haven't heard of him therefore he's shit £20m lol" bullshit argument. It'd probably help if you watched some games once in a while. Lallana I can see why we'd want him. Lambert is dirt cheap and it's a DREAM MOVE, so again I'm relaxed about it. Emre Sharn is highly rated by those who watch German football so again, chuck him in. The thing that excites me most though is our sheer pace. And power. And speed. And pace. Velocity.

Another couple of decent signings and I'll be pretty pleased. There is some talk we'll go after Jay Rodriguez in January. *That training ground photo :haha:* Sign Bertrand and I'm torching Melwood though. It'd be a fucking travesty.

On a serious note, do you have any idea what your medical team found wrong with Remy, did he have the infamous third nipple?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

It'd be quite something for them to sell Rodriguez considering he's out with an ACL injury at the moment. Not many clubs would take a punt until he's re-proven his fitness. He was the only one of their "young talent" that I thought would actually stay this summer. :lol:


Don't believe the nonsense about Schinderlin preferring Spurs to us either. He's French and so would adore working with Wenger. If we really wanted him he'd be ours right now.

It makes no sense to fly him and out and everything, to not sign him on a condition which all his previous clubs knew about.

If Jenks is a pubber not fit to play in the PL, then how can he be a mercenary? Aren't mercenaries guys with a skill of some sort who hire themselves out to the highest bidder? So when Arsenal came calling, what you're saying is he should have informed them he was shit and then turned them down? Was that ever likely to happen? Hull want him for £3m, Wenger wants £5mill apparently. If Hull don't pay, are you saying that proves Jenks is a mercenary? And making promises about alternate universes and then saying it proves a point isn't necessarily a valid argument, there's grey area in an argument like that.

Redknapp has said no way could he have failed a medical. I'm not sure if he means Remy is 100% fit or if Harry bribed the medical staff, either way he sounds confident. Maybe the deal is off for the same reason it supposedly fell through with us, because Remy is an incredibly greedy bastard? It has been know in the football world.

It's a strange narrative that has built up around him and also Szczesny in particular and also Mertesacker, but that's mostly a media one. The fact that people who supposedly watch Arsenal on a regular basis perpetuate these myths is the oddest thing of all.

I'm not at all saying that Jenkinson is one of our brightest prospects or he fits like a glove into our passing game or that he doesn't have a lot to learn to become a much better player. But throughout his relatively small sample run of games in his Arsenal career so far, he's in fact been very steady and as a bonus, effective going forward too. I can recall a poor game when we were battered 8-2 at Old Trafford. But he'd barely played for us at all at that point and the whole team was atrocious so to use that against him is just ridiculous. He's made mistakes against Swansea and Chelsea in the League Cup, but other than that he's been solid and at times against really tough opposition in huge games. It's actually more of a surprise he played that well, considering his pedigree. And anyone bringing up a freak own goal in his first pre-season friendly appearance is again, being pathetic.

In his time here, I'd say Cazorla, Ozil, Ramsey, Wilshere and even the generally brilliant Koscielny have made more mistakes which have harmed us than Jenkinson.

I understand perfectly if you don't think he has a future at Arsenal or just don't feel he fits our style of play, but using nebulous negative evidence against a player is just disingenuous and more importantly, wrong.

It goes back to the weird fascination of some fans seemingly seeing the worst in all our players. Szczesny was one of the best keepers in the League last year (with the most clean sheets award to his name too which could be viewed as impressive) and was instrumental in rescuing us numerous times, but you'd think he was Robert Green such is the faint praise. De Gea, Cech, Lloris and even players like Begovic and Mignolet are apparently better just because. Not taking in to account that they have made far more mistakes over the last few years.

Yeah, I agree. :gp:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

On a serious note, do you have any idea what your medical team found wrong with Remy, did he have the infamous third nipple?

Yeah as said above, there are two rumoured reasons. First is the heart problem, second is that we can't shift Borini. My name changes are fucking cursed.

And for some reason we're linked with Vermaelen :wacko:

[Japan Shaking All Over]

The kid who bullied me was called Jenkinson.

But that doesnt change the fact that that boy is the poorest player ive ever seen at this club. Worse that anything in the late Graham days.

Hes a symbol of asset stripping Arsenal. He needs to go to signify an end of that era. Like a little lamb, sacrificed for the Gods.

Time to stick on Blue Moon so BOBN can feel at home....,

I thought Borini had gone to Sunderland for a fee way above his talent

Ever? Ahead of Cygan, Santos, Denilson, Jeffers, Almunia etc? You cant be serious!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Is Jenkinson really that bad?....i remember at the start of the 2012/2013 season when Sagna was still recovering from his broken leg where he was immense, ever since then he he has never been able to consistently get a place in the side.
I'd still like to think (albeit optimistically) that he still has a future at Arsenal if Chambers goes from full back to centre back

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Also a name like Jenkinson makes me feel like he's come through the borstal system, like he's an extra in scum

"Jenkinson where did you get that leg injury?...fighting were you Lad!"
"I fell over sir!"
"You fell over....!"

[GP]

As long as he stays out of the greenhouse.

[Niall_Quinn]

How do we know Wenger wants 5mil? Sounds like smoke from Jenkinsons highly paid agents....to cover up the fact hes planning to sit tight. As for all your mercenary pedantary :sleep: smoke.

I looked up the article


:haha:

So when he was not starring at bloody Eastbourne Borough he was getting by in the English backwaters but now he cant drive his Baby Bentley or Pink-wheeled Range Rover down the M1 everytime he needs to wank off his cockney bumchums? GTF. Bye Jenks, or im booing him next time I go.

I'm stating what's in the media, which is why I said apparently. I don't have any inside sources that can confirm it. It sounds like you must though, given you know the lad so well.

I'm thinking by "bid" they mean the transfer fee, not Jenkinson's wages. If he's out then I guess it's not that much of a surprise he wants to keep on playing and wanting to stay in London shouldn't automatically be taken as a sign of treachery or an indicator of mercenary tendencies.

I think you've pretty much gone over the edge on this particular issue, I'm not jumping all the way down there.

[Niall_Quinn]

Is Jenkinson really that bad?....

No, of course not. In fact he's done really well to make such a big step up. For me he's more than adequate as cover. He comes from the lower leagues, he didn't cost much money, he was a classic "who" when he joined and I guess a lot of hard to shift assumptions have been based on that. David Luiz has a fifty mill fee attached so even when he plays like a complete cunt he's hot property. Would rather have Jenks, but if he's off then good luck to him. he did a job while he was here and he treated the club with respect.

[Penguin]

He's not 'that' bad but he's not that good either. Doesn't offer much going forward and he's below average defensively, I honestly think that a champions league club is a step too high for him. Honestly I think it would be much better for his career if he moves on to a club where he'll get regular playing time, If he stays here he'll never be anything more than a back-up.

[Xhaka Can’t]

I really don't understand the hate directed at Jenkinson. No-one is advocating starting him, but he is passable cover. And even if you disagree with that point, it is bizarre that a Gooner from a family of generations of Gooners should be the subject of the crap I've read in this thread.

:gp:

At least when he came on, he tried his best, knew what it meant to wear 'that' shirt. Unlike some of the mercenary scumbags that managed it, Nasri et al. I wish Jenks all the best.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Thank-you! :tiphat:

[Özim]

Jenkinson is a pretty average player, don't have any hate towards him but he's not really PL material, he must have thought it was a joke when Arsenal came in and plucked him out of Charlton reserves.

As much as he seems a good honest lad who does his job to the best of his ability, I don't feel too sorry for any of these footballers, they all earn a shedload of money and have a pretty nice life, they earn more in a week than most earn in a year.

[Bumble]

If chambers can play across the back four is it necessary to get rid of jenks as vermaelen is probably on his way out and that leaves us with 2 CBs and a lack of defensive options.

[cricketsi]

As far as I could read, it was just BOBN talking shit, on a massive wum. Didnt realise Cripps had dual accounts still active.

[Marc Overmars]

Jenkinson likely to be loaned to West Ham.

[Xhaka Can’t]

Hope it works out for him.

lol.

Probably should show some professionalism and discuss this with the club privately but I can't imagine him wanting to stay around.

[Syn]

Understand him burning bridges if Barcelona or Dortmund were interested. But to force a move to Tottenham? What a weirdo.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

If he continues to make his position untenable at the club his price should plummet from the £27 million + Southampton were demanding.

Should throw in a cheeky 15 million bid ourselves.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

We need the GHEL pubbers like Jenkinson around due to the homegrown quota, mercenary or not. Which may be the most ridiculous usage of mercenary I've ever read, incidentally.

As for Rodriguez and Schneiderlin.

Spuds. :lol:

Southampton will sell to anybody but them. That's fair enough I reckon.

[BOBN]

Isnt Schneiderlein an Innit Bruv Frenchman like Aliadere? Bring him in. We need him for when the heads go down.

My sources tell me hes very upset due to being told that his move to Spurs is on. They accepted a bid without his consent.

Are you new here? Wellcum 2 da jungle! OT never seen the issue with Jenks tbh, compared with the other side we have Monreal (post ~3matches shortly after he joined) he's the fucking Messiah. Would like to see him after a run of games, shame West Ham though can't stand them.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

An ITK from SaintsWeb:

Billy

Around midday today Morgans agents were at St Mary's expecting to find out and discuss which bid had been accepted by the club for him. you can imagine his surprise at the statements made by our chairman a few hours later. He has been lied to by the club and promises that were made to him and have now been broken. IMO i still think he we go (has a club ever kept a player who didnt wish to stay?), and the worst possible thing Krueger could have said. Are we now gonna have a player go on strike? i personally think its best we let any who don't want to be here go. The club are scared after the fans reaction to the Chambers sale and are now trying to placate the fans by blocking Morgans promised transfer.

Spuds :haha:

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

Really shouldn't laugh at Southampton but from Saintsweb:


One of my best friends has just text me to say that the club will be sold in the next 6 months. I know that a friend of his his is very friendly with a very prominent ex member of Saints old board. The club will obviously be sold at a huge profit.

Replies:


The sooner the better.


No chance of it being the next 6 minutes I suppose?


i will take 6 days

:haha:

[Ollie the Optimist]

love how everyone buys who they want from Southampton and when Spurs turn up to buy, they get told to fuck off.


Spurs :haha:

[Syn]

He has handed in a transfer request now. As if things weren't clear enough. Although I think him doing that might involve some financial benefit for Southampton. The normal work equivalent of being quitting rather than being made redundant?

Come on Wenger. £25m, do it!


@Squawka: No player won more tackles (195) in the Premier League during the last two seasons than Morgan Schneiderlin. http://t.co/b7jdvxu91F

[I am invisible]

There's a few stories going around that we were about to tie up a deal for Reus before the WC, but then pulled out and went for Sanchez instead after he got injured. One or two others suggest it could still be on, with Cazorla going to A.Madrid! Pure fantasy football of course, but as there's precious little else Arsenal-wise to talk about at the moment... man, that'd be a tasty forward line!

*sigh*

[The Emirates Gallactico]

I can categorically state that we've got no chance with Reus especially as he'd be moving on up. :lol::lol:


He's destined for a Barca or Bayern. We don't have the gravitas or pull to get him just yet.

[Syn]

Not sure we've particularly missed out, really. We needed someone top notch, with a lot of place, that is versatile enough to play across the front line, so that if there's an injury to either Giroud or Walcott we wouldn't be hit badly. Sanchez is the same age and a similar talent.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

@Ollie - There's a difference though. Ozil was already at arguably the biggest club around and was seen as surplus to them - the only way he could go was down from there and we were lucky in that no one else was interested at that point.

Reus on the other hand will be coveted by the likes of Madrid, Bayern, Barca, Man Utd etc etc as soon as he seems available.

We've made progress but there's still no way we can actively beat the likes of them for a top player's signature.

[Syn]

Everton to sign Lukaku. Fee around £25m. Fantastic signing.

Yeah it hasn't really been fun working with Everton fans, today.

At the same time we signed Divock Origi. Or to refer to him by his full name "Who the fuck is Divock Origi?" and "Where the fuck is Divock Origi?"

Lukaku isn't that good.

[Maestro]

REPLACEMENTS, admittedly good quality ones at that.

1. Ospina - Fabianski
2. Debuchy - Sagna
3. Chambers - Jenkinson & possibly Vermealen

ADDITIONS, and top quality ones at that

1. Alexis Sanchez
2. Shad Forsythe

MAYBE ADDITIONS

1. Joel Campbell ....not too sure how long for or what AW's plans are with him
2. Abou Diaby ......okay :run:

Now give us a beast in central midfield and another striker/forward ....now that will be a great transfer window. 2 to go Wumget, we have faith in you this window ..get cracking and wrap it up :pray:

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

I did wonder that too but they hardly ever spend money and have full houses most weeks, develop there own fair share of players and have all that TV money and high position money each season. So I guess at some point they should be able to spend big.

Good signing for them the chavs would never have sold to us.

Never

[Harland]

Would people accept us not getting a DM if that meant we splurge on Reus?

Ideally we'd get both, but we'd be much more likely get neither, so if faced with a choice, where would your priorities lie?

It will probably be the only significant money they will spend unless they sell a few. A bit like when they signed Fellaini for £15 million.

[selassie]

Lukaku isn't that good.

I'm not a massive fan of him either....but he's proven in PL and still very young. He did well for Everton last season and I reckon he will do well this season.

28million is helluva lot of money for him though, to be fair Chelsea have done very well to recoup those fees for De Bruyne, Mata, Luiz and Lukaku.

No, I definitely don't want to see Arteta playing against the big teams again

[AFC Leveller]

Arteta is good against the bottom 10 because he gets a lot more time on the ball and isnt pressed as much as he is against the big boys. I really dont want to see him line up against the top 5-6 next season because he just isnt good enough and teams know that.

[Munchies]

Le Grove saying that we had a deal in place with Dortmund for Reus, before he got injured, for around £45m.

He then stalled as he thought he was moving to Barca


So the Reus story I told you about in June has reared it’s sexy head again with a number of key people have started talking about it. It’s quite interesting hearing it from different places because I only had a loose understanding of the initial agreed deal.

But anyway, just to go back to it. The clubs agreed a fee way back when, thenthe player picked up an injury and it felt promising, then it went quiet. The assumption is that he rejected Arsenal.

Arsenal apparently going hard for Reus as a striker (which is why I think Sanchez will play there for us). He has it all, pace, spectacular vision as well as versatility across the front line. The club also opened talks with Sanchez at the same time. The reason that Dortmund were keen to do business is the very public buyout clause the German has in his deal for £35m. Not very high for a superstar. They’d already lost Gotze, World Cup goal winner, the season before.

Now, my assumption was that Bayern would take him next year. I’ve been told this is an impossibility by loads of people who know more about German football than me, however, I don’t believe this regardless of his affiliations as a fan. All his pals will be at Bayern, Pep is every young players dream manager and they’re the pride of Germany armed with mega cash. If Sol Campbell can move to Arsenal, Reus can move to Bayern.

Another premise for him rejecting us is that he thought he was going to be Barcelona’s hero signing of the summer. Then they moved for the disgraced Suarez, which left him up Dortmund creek without an option. And remember, Arsenal are a very good option as half the national the are with us. The German guys love London apparently. Who wouldn’t, a Chicken Cottage on every corner.

If the Barca story is the right line of fire, it’s clear Dortmund are selling because they can get £45-50m for him now opposed to £35m next year. Which means we were going very big. If the Bayern rumour is true, they’ll want to dump him this summer and very soon to stop him moving the way of so many others.

Now, I mentioned the other day that if we received bids for late twenties pairing Lukas or Cazorla, we’d probably accept. Both don’t have it physically anymore to beast the league. Now, just a total speculative guess here, but if we pick up a nice fee for either of them, say £17m, free up £100k a week in wages, it’s probably not beyond the pale to suggest we’d push for Reus again if he’s available.

Just a guess, so don’t take your clothes off and share the excitement on the tube. It’s just a guess. Such an attractive guess. So attractive, I’ve just dropped my trousers in an staff members review.

Anyway, it’s good to know, that when armed with cash, Wenger goes big on talent, not reputation. Reus is one of the best on the planet. He’d be an incredible snare for us.

[Munchies]

Javier Mascherano: Alexis Sanchez asked me should I move to Liverpool, I told him "they aren't the team they used to be. Join Arsenal.
