Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Niall_Quinn]

What's with the casual use of "that" word tho?

For whatever reason, blacks are allowed to use that word. Whites aren't. But why somebody wants to associate Ozil with it I don't know. Probably Neil Ashton, who is a prime example of "that" other word.

[Munchies]

Ozil ^^ :haha:

No where has the term Marketing been more appropriate.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

You don't get 3 points for a 0-0. Need to put the ball in the net to stay competing at the top. I was also looking out for a CB and DM because I just assumed we'd plug the gap left by Giroud, even if it was with a bit of a journeyman that would do us for a season. Always assumed the Sanogo novelty would wear off, but evidently Wenger hasn't been watching Sanogo play. If he had the kid would be on loan at Crewe now.

To be honest as previously stated my opinion of Giroud is so low that it makes no difference to me whether he is fit or not, that's why i'm not in hysterics about replacing him because we are blunt up top even with him there.
I still think Sanchez is the answer but not as long as we keep playing this slow turgid game in which we need a striker to hold up the ball rather than running off the last defender.
Defender/Defensive Midfielder is required whatever system/style of play we adopt.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

If we're 'very active' what would that make other teams?

To be fair Wenger isn't lying, he says he'd be very active on transfer deadline day

He didn't actually say what he'd be very active doing...i'd say flying to Rome to manage a team for charity is Very Active.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

can we start a sweepstake over who on this board is going to top themselves?

Seriously...i'd love that

I will only kill myself if Wellbeck comes

Hearing runmours that Campbell is on his way to Lisboa to sign for Benfica on a season year loan. Great, the one decent striker we have is being loaned out. WTF is Sanogo Wengers love child!

[KSE Comedy Club]

Maybe cavani is on the way then

[1_nilto the arsenal]

No chance will we sign Cavani, I think its Wellbeck. Dear oh dear Wenger. We sell Utd RVP and he wins them the league, we go for Wellbeck. What a wolrd apart in terms of class. i woudl rather go with Sanogo and keep campbell.

[ARightTouch]

We need a CB, a DM and a ST Wenger HAS to sign AT LEAST one of these right??

Weve lost Jenkinson, Sagna and Vermaelen (plus Miquel now aswell) Only Debuchy and Chambers have been brought in.

In defensive midfield it looks like we will still have to rely on Flamini and Arteta, FML. More big game thumpings coming up

We all know how bad our striking options are. At the moment our first choice striker is from Ligue 2 and is yet to score a competitive goal for us (how fuckin ridiculous!!)


Everything looked so rosey when we signed Sachez?

Wenger has 6hrs 30mins to save his Arsenal career in my opinion.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Wenger has 6hrs 30mins to save his Arsenal career in my opinion.

He signed a three year contract in May, i don't think his career is under any threat

[Gooner23]

Not really because he's just signed a 3 year contract and won't be sacked. He can do what he wants.

[1_nilto the arsenal]

As we are expect the following to happen:

Thrashed at the bridge and lose at the Emirates.
Thrashed at Citeh and lose at Emirates
Get beat badly by Man Ure with Falcao scoring a hatrick.
Get the usual seasonal spanking by Liverpool.
We still manage to finish 4th and Wenger and Gazidis happy that minimum requirement has been met for the 18th season running. beating besiktas could have been the worst thing that happened to us.

[Niall_Quinn]

Hearing runmours that Campbell is on his way to Lisboa to sign for Benfica on a season year loan. Great, the one decent striker we have is being loaned out. WTF is Sanogo Wengers love child!

If we can sell Campbell, Alexis, Walcott, Podolski and send Akpom on loan, we still have Sanogo who can play there.

[ARightTouch]

Do you see him staying on as manager when we finish 6th this season then

But the transfer window isn't over yet hopefully someone has something up their sleeve

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Do you see him staying on as manager when we finish 6th this season then

he will stay on as manager even if it turns out he worked as a Hospital porter at Leeds General Infirmary during the 1970s

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll somehow finish 4th, you know it, I know it, everybody knows it.

Campbell is on the last year of his contract. It would be the height of stupidity to loan him out now. Either use him Wenger or sell him.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

If we can sell Campbell, Alexis, Walcott, Podolski and send Akpom on loan, we still have Sanogo who can play there.

And Giroud who when he comes back one week before the end of the season will be like a new signing

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Campbell is on the last year of his contract. It would be the height of stupidity to loan him out now. Either use him Wenger or sell him.

we aren't going to loan him, who is going to warm the bench and come on with ten minutes to go where he can't make any real difference if he does

[1_nilto the arsenal]

I used to feel physically sick when RVP was scoring for fun at Man ure, now I have to endure it all again watching the best striker in the world scoring for the scum again and for the sake off £6 million quid, thats less than AW's yearly salary, so pissed off today. I really thought we were going to grab Falcoa today. So fucking gutted its not even funny> Didnt even feel like this when the chavs signed Fabregas. Falcao was the player that could have won us the premisership and reach the last 4 of the UCL.

Since when did Falcao become the best striker in the world?

[Niall_Quinn]

Campbell out is only a rumour - but imagine if it actually happened. We keep a guy who can't score to save his life, and we get rid of a player who has just done well in the World Cup - without even giving him a run out. It would mean there's something about Campbell Wenger doesn't like, but there's something about Sanogo he does! The implications go without saying.

Let's hope it isn't true, especially if we aren't signing another striker. With our usual batch of injuries still to come we'll need every body we can get once Wenger finally gives up on this Sanogo insanity.

[Niall_Quinn]

Since when did Falcao become the best striker in the world?

He's one of the best. Fabulous goal scoring record, technically gifted, strong, fast, he'll scored a bucket load for Utd. Amazing deal which will, unfortunately, steady the ship there. Not enough to see them challenging because the have terrible issues elsewhere in the squad, but 4th place just got a whole lot harder for us. Real shame. If we'd have done the deal Utd would still be in the dumps and we'd be talking about a title challenge. But that's not the way this club rolls, we prefer to snatch disaster from the jaws of progress.

[RomfordPele]

Gonna be an interesting atmosphere at the Emirates when Nasri strokes in City's 5th from a Sagna cut back, isn't there...

Wenger hasn't got a self-preservation instinct, clearly.

[Gooner23]

Wenger has never really sounded convincing when talking up Campbell this summer.

[fakeyank]

Do you see him staying on as manager when we finish 6th this season then

But the transfer window isn't over yet hopefully someone has something up their sleeve

I dont see the fancy of getting 4th.. all this talk about reputation and how being in the CL is important for us is bollocks. May be we need to be outside the top 4 for some major change to happen. We got a combination of inept crooks at our club. A manager adamant about his tried and unsuccessful methods and a board equally inept at firing the said manager.

Dont worry though, we have the FA Cup to look at. Charging the highest prices in world football and winning a trophy the likes of Wigan and Portsmouth have also won in recent years should give Wenger another 10 years.

[Niall_Quinn]

Of course Giroud will be fit again come the new year, so no striker in January either because Bif will be the new signing. They must love it when a plan comes together. Time for Wenger to introduce a bit of the conventional to his life now. Being a visionary is one thing, but actually seeing visions (like Sanogo being able to play football) is something entirely different. I still can't help thinking he MUST bring in somebody before 11pm, and on the other hand I absolutely dread who that might be.

Unless we see Cavani or Benzema pitch up, or at least sign the DM and CB we need, then we are the laughing stocks of football come midnight. Every pundit, ex-player, journalist, everyone has been trying to be kind about Sanogo so they don't destroy the kid. Normally I wouldn't give any credence to what these fucks say, but on this occasion we all know they are right. Sanogo shouldn't be within 100 miles of this club. Everyone on the planet knows it bar Wenger. You can't help feeling that's the position he loves most of all, Arsene against the world.

Even worse though, if the plan is to pitch Alexis into that woeful system we play as the front man and then demand he score 20 goals we could ruin that player too. At least change the fucking system if we aren't going to spend the money to make the current system work.

That would be true if we hadn't started buying serious players. The money is now there, we have been spending it - or some of it at least. We aren't making profits in the transfer windows like we used to. The real issue here is what is going on in Wenger's mind that makes him think Sanogo should be in our shirt while all our rivals are strengthening with real talent. What goes on when we can see a glaring hole at CB and Wenger does nothing about it? If he would explain to the fans what he seems rather than just give that smile as if it's a sure thing he knows something that nobody else can see, that might be something. Sometimes he does need to explain himself, particularly when his latest project is so bizarre.

I would love to hear his explanation for his bizarre tactics and football management. One thing is for sure though.. he cannot hide behind the "there is no money" argument. We have 'at least' had significant amount of money to spend in the last 2 transfer windows. While we have attracted world class talents like Ozil and Sanchez, we have not addressed some of our CORE issues of playing players out of position, zero tactics and playing style. How we went from being one of the most entertaining team in England to one of the most boring teams in England is beyond me. We are atrocious to watch!

[1_nilto the arsenal]

Maybe Wenger might sign Cavani or Negredo at 10.59pm.

lol. And it's been a relatively more fruitful window for us with four signings. :lol:

[Niall_Quinn]

Yes but I'd take Alexis, Chambers and Debuchy over the numerical dross other clubs have signed. It's not the numbers, it's the quality and the positions that need filling. Chambers remains the signing of the season so far for me.

Why does he do this shit? Everything was on the up but he simply refuses to plug the remaining few holes that would transform us into the team we've been waiting 10 years to see.

Really?...the excuses have already been given...the whole signings aren't the solution (they are at the back) look at Man City and their strikers they lost at home to Stoke blah blah blah

What i love is the reaction on here that no-one saw it coming, i have to admit i was surprised that he has left us with two centre backs i thought he'd nail on cover that position, but nothing else is remotely a surprise. He won't sign a proper defensive midfielder because he isn't ruthless enough to drop Arteta, he won't sign a striker because he refuses to accept what even he knows at heart about Giroud and Sanogo.
Plus he's incredibly indecisive, Dick Law has told people he has taken him from negotiations to pull the plug on deals before.
It's just how he is....get used to it, we have another two summers of it at least.

[ARightTouch]

Putting the striker situation to one side...i think its ridiculous we havent signed another defender yet. Arguably we need two. Am I wrong or have we only got 6 recognised senior defenders at the club right now as we speak? Is there another club in the premier league with 6 or less? I cant even name a youth back up.

[1_nilto the arsenal]

Borini would have done a good job for us, but he's heading to QPR now.

Shane Long? He's available isn't he? And his misses are a lot more exciting to watch.

[1_nilto the arsenal]

I know this is a long shot, but maybe just maybe Wenger knowing Falcao will only cost £6 Million may hijack the deal if we have some super agent parked near carrington? I mean he still has to agree personal terms, could it happen?

The signing has not been confirmed, needs to undergo a medical and then agree wages. Wishful thinking but nothing is concluded until her signs on the dotted line.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

i'm still surprised how everyone on this board is like a rabbit caught in the headlights, it happens every single summer...last season it happened, the season before it happened, the season before we got in dross to replace our best players (so it happened in a different kind of way), the season before it happened, the season before it happened, the season before it kind of happened, the season before it kind of happened (brought in Gallas to replace Cole etc), the season before it happened, the season before it happened, the season before it happened and the first summer transfer window it happened

I know man but I m trying to hang on to a slight glimmer of hope that we may scupper that deal. I dread the home and away matches with Man Ure, they may be having a piss poor season, but they always raise their game against us, I can see a severe thrashing home and away.

You must agree this is potentially a new low. The surprise has come from an assumption that didn't really need to be stated that we'd fix the Sanogo problem following Giroud's injury. Even if we use Alexis as a striker, we still need some cover and that cover cannot be Sanogo for obvious reasons. So it was just taken for granted we'd bring somebody in, despite that failings during previous transfer windows. This time it had to be different because the situation is so ludicrous. On the one hand you have a club claiming to be chasing the title, on the other you have Sanogo. The two things are mutually exclusive. Actually I still think we must sign a striker. It's impossible not to given the circumstances.

Metro has been wrong about absolutely everything so far, tbf.

Bony at £20mill - if it has to be then it has to be but he's second tier again. Shame, because we were meant to be moving forwards - but not by shifting the baseline so far back Kalou would be a massive advance.

Reid on the other hand, a non-entity. Perfect. Sign him up.

Just got back on, any closer to a signing then? :shrug:

[Niall_Quinn]

If any of the following is true (standard Metro disclaimer applies) then forget all that shit about the club being ambitious. Fact is, we aren't.
http://metro.co.uk/2014/09/01/arsenal-pulled-out-of-radamel-falcao-transfer-after-deciding-he-was-too-expensive-4852758/

Absolutely no lose situation for Utd. If he's as good as he has been elsewhere then £51mill is the going rate. If he bombs they hand him back. How we passed up on this is beyond incredible. There must be some other factor that hasn't been made public.
=============

Arsenal were in for for Monaco striker Radamel Falcao – but pulled the plug on the deal after deciding that he was too expensive.
Falcao is set to seal a dramatic loan move to Manchester United before the transfer window shuts, with the Old Trafford club paying a reported £6million loan fee, plus all of his £7million-a-year wages.
It means the total package to bring Falcao in is £13million, and the Telegraph says that Arsenal were considering paying that, but Arsene Wenger decided it was too expensive.

Arsenal did check on Falcao but wage demands were not deemed affordable. Live transfer window coverage here:http://t.co/Z8zA1375dA
— Jeremy Wilson (@JWTelegraph)September 1, 2014 (https://twitter.com/JWTelegraph/statuses/506379710725910529)
United will now complete their deal for the Colombian shortly, with the player en route to England for a medical.
The Red Devils will have an option to sign Falcao permanently next summer for about £51million.

[Niall_Quinn]

Just got back on, any closer to a signing then? :shrug:

We're scavenging off scraps for the Metro. Bony for twice what he's worth plus that nobody Reid from WHU. Nobody else is mentioning anything about us except Jim White who claims we'll definitely do some business. I shudder to think.

It's impossible not to given the circumstances.

This is what a lot of us were saying last year. Its what we say every year to be honest but last year we were told that we had a decent war chest to go out & do business. To many people on this site got too excited by a trophy last year, for our short term future it was the worst thing that could have happened. Wenger winning a trophy means "he was right - he knows what he is doing" - if we'd won fuck all last year I think there would have been significant pressure on him from the board to invest in quality during his contract talks. If he refused, then he should have been shown the door.
Think everyone should de-stress themselves, especially all those who wanted him to stay - you are now reaping the rewards of another 3 years. We will not compete at the very top again with this man in charge, of that I am 100% sure.
The only good news is that Wenger will get the Pope's blessing for our season during his lovely visit to Rome today to manage a team for the Pope, in a charity friendly - wonder how many of the other top teams manager's can afford to do this on the busiest day in the footballing calender. Bearing in mind he would have accepted this honour a good while ago, he had already taken the view to do fuck all. Injury to Giroud & the complete lack of any threat upfront means we're fucked for another long year.

[Niall_Quinn]

Look...

As a fan of the club you can't say winning a trophy is the worst thing that can happen. On the day, whatever your view on the manager, who would want to lose? It's not about winning the FA Cup. It's about our only dedicated striker (assuming you discount Sanogo as a credible option) getting injured until next year. He needs replacing. Apparently we're not going to do that. That's the problem.

There are other problems too (as well as pluses in the form of Alexis and Chambers which shouldn't be overlooked). But the most pressing problem is we have a few hours to address something we were lucky enough to get away with last season but haven't managed to get away with this time around.

That said, if Wenger decides Sanogo is an option he has lost all credibility with me and I would think with the majority of the fans. It'll be rough from here on in if that's his decision, especially in light of the availability of one of the best strikers in the world at a comparatively small cost. I hope he's going to sign a top tier striker. I think it's not possible now unless some miracle happens. I;d settle for him signing a stop gap at least, to avoid seeing Sanogo again. But if he doesn't then all the other things you mention will be coming up soon enough. He'll have made a pretty thorny bed for himself if he ignores the obvious again today.

Shane Long? He's available isn't he? And his misses are a lot more exciting to watch.

Ii he's in my fantasy team I'll have you know

[bignev]

Look...

As a fan of the club you can't say winning a trophy is the worst thing that can happen. On the day, whatever your view on the manager, who would want to lose? It's not about winning the FA Cup. It's about our only dedicated striker (assuming you discount Sanogo as a credible option) getting injured until next year. He needs replacing. Apparently we're not going to do that. That's the problem.

There are other problems too (as well as pluses in the form of Alexis and Chambers which shouldn't be overlooked). But the most pressing problem is we have a few hours to address something we were lucky enough to get away with last season but haven't managed to get away with this time around.

That said, if Wenger decides Sanogo is an option he has lost all credibility with me and I would think with the majority of the fans. It'll be rough from here on in if that's his decision, especially in light of the availability of one of the best strikers in the world at a comparatively small cost. I hope he's going to sign a top tier striker. I think it's not possible now unless some miracle happens. I;d settle for him signing a stop gap at least, to avoid seeing Sanogo again. But if he doesn't then all the other things you mention will be coming up soon enough. He'll have made a pretty thorny bed for himself if he ignores the obvious again today.

The first sensible post i've seen from NQ.

Spot on.

Nastasic would be a good signing. Really need a defender

:tumbleweed:

[BOBN]

If Podolski wasnt so shyt we wouldnt need a striker. Facking fraud. Its all his fault at the end of the day.

Id welcome Welbeck or Bony as an improvement on that overpaid clown.

I know there are a lot if haters but Welhit has more goals in him than Sanogo.....but WTf do
Players just turn up at grounds!

If he has turned up you have to assume that we've agreed a deal of some sort with Utd first.

*EDIT* Seems we have.

Not exactly what we all hoped for but he's better than Sanogoals

[Munchies]

Anyonne but Sanogo

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

Will GW have to turn one almighty u-turn on Welbeck? :popcorn:

[Kano]

Danny fucking Welbeck.

Jesus.

All we can hope for is some sort of Sturridge turn around.

Dear Lord.

That's Wenger's definition of quality on the market?

Ozil and Alexis must be looking at each other right now in despair.

[GP]

Welgood :bow:

Always rated him

[Power n Glory]

:haha:

Super quality!

A slight upgrade on Sanogo. Whenever I've seen him play he can never sort his feet out. But hey, he has pace and maybe Wenger can teach him a few new tricks.

But we are scrapping the barrel! Has it come to this?

[Niall_Quinn]

Radamel Falcao will earn an incredible £346,000 per week at Manchester United. (Source: Telegraph)

£135K according to most sources. £346 is if the win the PL, CL, FA Cup, he gets 100 goals, World Player of the Year and wins Wimbledon, most likely.

Nastasic would be a good signing. Really need a defender

He's staying with the gypos

The new Gervinho - he's ours :doh:

He's not even a proper striker is he, his best position is running in from the left and diving.

[Kano]

I'd rather we sign no striker if this is it. This shits embarrassing.

[Asthmatic Kitty]

is it a loan or permanent?

[Niall_Quinn]

Maybe the spuds will come in with a last minute bid and rescue us.

This is simply awful. With Sanogo up front it means literally any player in the world would be an improvement so you;d have to spite yourself to be against the signing. Genius by WUMger.

I hope that charity event he's at goes on all night so we don't have to listen to him talking about the special ability this loan deal brings to the club. If he can't find a way to use Ozil then how the fuck is he going to get anything out of a bit part Utd reject?

[LDG]

is it a loan or permanent?

He's permanently shit :good:

What an awful signing if true.

[Niall_Quinn]

is it a loan or permanent?

Loan - for possibly £2mill less than Utd paid for Falcao. Depending on which shit you read in whatever shitty rag.

[Niall_Quinn]

So does that mean Shane Long is a no-go?

Would have rather had Altidore. Or Brunt.

[Kano]

Well the England team are at our training ground so that's half the story exposed as bollocks. Hope still exists.

[Marc Overmars]

Welbeck :haha:

Wow.

You have to hand to WUMger.

[Niall_Quinn]

Well the England team are at our training ground so that's half the story exposed as bollocks. Hope still exists.

That could be it! Good spot.

:pray:

[Niall_Quinn]

Bony staying at Swansea.

[Niall_Quinn]

Nah - the Welbeck thing sounds real. He's already had a medical according to Sky.

Fuuuuuuuuuuuck.

[Niall_Quinn]

Negredo leaving. Guess gypos wouldn't have sold him to us anyway. Off to Valencia.

[Kano]

Hopefully he's just having a medical before the England game and nothing more, then we can put this nightmare scenario to bed and go back to berating Sanogo.

Schneiderlin? Random black CDM from Ligue 1 ?

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Sounds like paper bull$hit.

Nah it does sound true. Living in the tax haven that is Monaco he's getting a paid a shedload net.

He was being whored out for most of the summer and yet no one took a punt on him probably because of this. It's probably the reason he chose Utd over us as I suspect we refused to pay 100% of his wages.



Seen the Welbeck news. Christ on a stick.

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Will GW have to turn one almighty u-turn on Welbeck? :popcorn:

Exactly what we need. A forward with a poor scoring record.

I admire your optimism, but this sounds bad.

[Niall_Quinn]

No way, he'll get exactly the same stick from me as normal. He's no Arsenal player - he's a manc.

[Kano]

I admire your optimism, but this sounds bad.

It's all I have left before hitting the bottle and a violent outburst.

Utd may offer to pick up some of Welshit's wages - no wonder, no wonder. We would have been attracted like a fly to shit.

super fucking quality.

[LDG]

Fucking bollocks. Load of shit that fella.

I said to MW earlier this year that we'd finish above em because of our better players. Though the caveat was that Wenger could prove our undoing.

So he signs Utd's inferior players, allowing them the cream.

:doh:

Another fight for 4th it is!

[The Emirates Gallactico]

Ok, I've had a really shitty day at work, and all the bastard trains delayed - someone just tell me who we've signed...

If I were you I would had back to train station and jump in front of the next express to Euston.

It's probably infinitely more preferable to finding out who we're apparently on the verge of getting.

Sorry but going to remain true to form and give Welbeck a chance because I have seen him score which I haven't seen Sanogo do....hope he doesn't turn out like Gervinho because that really hurt......two mil loan? Surely that is enough to get him in on a perm

Now I want us to buy who is really going to play up front for us.....I'd take Bony

The most expensive ticket prices and then they wanna sign welshit! Fuck off Arsenal.

All that remains is to fuck Campbell off to Spain. That will mark the end of the most classic transfer WUMdow ever. How are they going to top this next year?

Yep it's crazy.

We are buying the dregs from a team that finished 7th last season. I mean is Welbeck honestly the best striker on the market this summer? I don't get why we didn't go for someone like Mandzukic earlier in the summer?

Im happy we are signing welbeck.

But the trouble is this happiness comes from the relief that we have actually signed a striker...not because he is good.

This makes us strong favourites for the 4th place trophy again!!

[Niall_Quinn]

Well then, let's see how long it takes for the media to turn Welbeck from an exciting young England star to the piece of shit he is.

[Globalgunner]

We are only signing Welbeck because Kalou rejected us

Remy £8.5m
Balotelli £16m

I think it'll be hilarious if they don't, but unlikely.

[1_nilto the arsenal]

LVG realised that Falcoa going to Arsenal would kiss goodbye to 4th place, i dont think they'll even play him that much, this was done just to give them a chance to finish in the top 4. I dont want WellBecks amywhere near my club, he is shit for man ure, he is shit for ingerland, and I dont want him on loan or otherwise. I would rather not sign anyone.

That signing has transformed them instantly from a team on the way down, with the fans bitching all the way, to a team that can score a lot of goals with the fans pumped right back up. Spectacular signing. They are right back in the hunt for top 4. If they'd managed to plug some of the horrible holes in their midfield and defence I would have said they were a sure bet to finish above us, but as it stands they still have big weaknesses so it'll be close. It's all about goals in the end, goals get the points.

This is where Wenger is so very weak. He knows football inside out, but he doesn't know fans and can't see how emotion, and ambition and desire and momentum will trump statistics every time. He's a professor, the sort of professor who would cancel Christmas because the extra days worked would increase the overall productivity. And he'd be perplexed when he got punched in the balls by a bunch of grieving kids.

[1_nilto the arsenal]

hmmm even a striker of falcao's quality still needs decent service
Man U just clinched 4th spot with the Falcoa signing. Chelsea will win the league as they have the most potent striker even better than Falcoa in Costa, Citeh will finish 2nd and Liverpool 3rd. Europa League herer we come.

[Niall_Quinn]

Holy fucking shit - apparently the £17mill for Welshit is true. In fact some sources are quoting £18mill.

That's astonishing. All the strikers we could have snagged for that kind of money and we end up blowing it on a piece of shit in another mad trolley dash. Why not £25mill for Ashley Young? Or £50mill for Valencia? It's all just as crazy.

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

hmmm even a striker of falcao's quality still needs decent service

Did you see him against us in the Arsenalnotinittowinit cup? He pretty much scored with the only time he got the ball in a decent position. The service of Herrera, Carrick and Mata will be good enough.

Let's not forget that forwards can feed forwards too and they often do in the modern game with the proliferation of 433. RvP and Rooney are more than capable of providing assists.....in fact they are better at it than most midfielders.

[RomfordPele]

Man U just clinched 4th spot with the Falcoa signing. Chelsea will win the league as they have the most potent striker even better than Falcoa in Costa, Citeh will finish 2nd and Liverpool 3rd. Europa League herer we come.

I agree with this. Think united could run the Scousers and City close though. They are riddled with injuries at the moment which makes their squad looks weaker than it is.

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

[Blink 1nce Quince 2wice]

Even Costa has adjusted quicker than I thought he would...even though I've thought for a long time now he would be good over here and make for an obvious signing.

i'm just waiting for the magic words "Wellbeck move falls through"

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Hello.

Just a couple of things:

We can still buy players from Germany, the window is closed for German clubs buying.

Also, Welbeck has a lovely smile! :bow:

Question:

Why is Falcao so afraid of the Champions League?

i think he's more afraid of not getting 300k a week

Maccy is in his media centre :bow:

Now we have order.

[Keith]

Smudger just said Welbeck is a done deal :(

[LDG]

Get out.

NOOOOOO!!!!

[Munchies]

Alan Smith says he has been told Welbeck to Arsenal is done.

[1_nilto the arsenal]

Fucking Wellbeck has been signed according to Alan Smith on SSN. Doesnt know if its a loan or pearmanent. Please no dont let this happen.

[Keith]

He then said he will be a good signing :(

[1_nilto the arsenal]

I would take Defeo over Wellbeck.

[LDG]

Fuck off.

Welbeck.

:ilt:

Brummie prick

[Munchies]

I would take Defeo over Wellbeck.

Me too

[adzzzbatch]

I don't want fucking welbeck! My membership cards will end up in a million pieces if he comes here.

[LDG]

I would take not signing anyone over signing Welbeck.

[Niall_Quinn]

Well Smudger can do one, can't he. A real fan wouldn't say something like that.

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

I would take Defeo over Wellbeck.

i'd take the bag full of my vomit after a nasty drinking binge, which i threw out of a fourth floor window into a disgusting debris strewn alleyway 12 years ago over Wellbeck

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

He'd be a good signing IMO.

We create plenty of chances so he'd bag goals.

People doubted Sturridge, and although Welbeck doesn't have his killer instinct, he has the same potential.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I would take Defeo over Wellbeck.

Fuck Defoe.

[alexander]

This is terrible.
First we are signing him, I feel like crying.
Then we are not, I feel so happy.
Now we are again.
WTF Arsene, why do you hate us so much?

[Shaqiri Is Boss]

He'd be a good signing IMO.

We no can dunk, but good fundamentals.

[LDG]

What's worse than one striker who can't control a ball, and doesn't score.

Two of the cunts. That's what.

What a waste of fucking money.

Jesus, not `potential` again. how many times has that been wheeled out over the last 10 years? and how many have filled that potential?

[1_nilto the arsenal]

Sorry bud, I have to disagree with you, this is not gonna work seriously. This transfer window is worse than I expected. We just paid Man Ure to sign Falcoa by signing this prick.

[ARightTouch]

At least this cunt can run fast

Pretty bad if weve paid 17m for someone who can run fast though

[Niall_Quinn]

Fuck Defoe.

Yes, I would rather fuck Defoe than sign Welbeck.

[1_nilto the arsenal]

Whats the chances of the Gypo's allowing us to take Nagredo on loan with a commitment of 30 Mill Euros? Not goona happen right?

[Munchies]

ARSENAL. Huntelaar "nonsense", Welbeck hopeful. As of 20 sec ago. #MNFN Transfer Special @talkSPORT ON AIR
