18.32: According to The Times, Arsene Wenger has denied any interest in Lazio's Mauro Zarate but he did say: "We will be in the market regardless of the result tomorrow."

OK so we´ve lost another of the good players. Yeah, he wasn´t happy and all that, no point in keeping such a player, sure, but who will be happy here then? I mean, who that is half prepared, right now, to add some talent and hope to this decimated team.

What happens in the following week is a total mystery.

:(

[Niall_Quinn]

We'll probably sign one player, which won't be enough. Although stranger things have happened so we might sign two, which won't be enough. In the miraculous event we sign three, well that won't be enough and into the realms of pure fantasy, if we sign four players then maybe that might be enough. If whoever we sign gets injured for the rest of the season in his first game for us, that would just be typical.

[Syn]

What happens in the following week is a total mystery.:( I can Isaac this one for you.Wenger will get a £18m+ signing on deadline day; jagielka, Cahill, I don't know... in a bid to get the fans back on his side. So desperate are the fans for a signing that it'll actually work. Two top players out, one good player in, and the majority will start supporting wenger again.

Yes, the desperation levels are so intense now I suspect the relief of any signing will shield Wenger and the board for a while. About a week.

With the current price of electricity he'll need it. Plus he'll have enough left over to pay somebody to feed the meter.

Arsenal target Eden Hazard has once again reaffirmed his commitment to Lille by ruling out a move to the Emirates this summer.Full story: talkSPORTArsene Wenger will look to sign Everton pair Phil Jagielka and Mikel Arteta as he looks to strengthen his Arsenal side before the transfer window closes at the end of the month. Full story: Caughtoffside.comApparently we have £90m to spend and that's the best we can get?

All that money but when you leave until the last minute nobody decent wants to join.

If I were Wenger I'd be begging players like Hazard to join by saying "look at my track record, in 2 yrs time you'll be playing for either the greatest Barca team of all time or on £200k pw at City"

Wenger may as well play to his strengths.

what the hell........I know we were talking of wanting a clear out but we surely cant lose any other players.......I mean Nic is not flavour of the month but with Nas gone we need every attacking option we can get......his deal as Per exchange (the cheap option) written all over it - we can only hope that it is not to save money for anything else but spunking it some massive signings

(tactic for tonight - 10 across the half way line in an innovative attempt of playing the offside trap - with SZVChnasjyy to save the day in the event of it being sprung)

Listening to wenger talking about "promoting from within" last night i am really worried we wont buy anyone of note. Which iis odd becuase even if we lose tonight we are losing the money from the Nasri deal essentially, but what about the £30mil from cesc, £4mil from Eboue, £8mil from Clichy and £1mil fro JET plus the alleged £40mil we already had to spend??

I still cant decide whether Wenger is the victim or the villain here, its like a 50's whodunnit movie. "The Arsenal stadium mystery 2, where the fuck is all the money"

Its simple really.. AW is to blame. IF the board was somehow not letting him spend or putting too many constraints on him, I cannot see him continuing to manage Arsenal. He has said it many times and I think Teg and some other people have even brought up articles from the past which state the same. AW is NOT the victim... he is just a stubborn old man who wants to prove to the world that he can win titles with a young squad made up from the academy ala Barcelona. Unfortunately thats not happening and his deluded vision is taking the club down the gutter.

So who are our targets now then, realistically?

CB: Jagielka? Cahill? Samba? How much interest does Wenger have in signing a CB? Could have got this done ages ago with little fuss. Dann? He's cheap if nothing else.

LB: Baines won't be sold. There was that Swedish Serb kid? Or that french guy with the bad teeth?

CM: Yann M'Vila? Anyone else?

CM: Marvin Martin? Hazard seems unlikely.

Attacker: Zarate? Wasn't that rumour quashed? Benzema seems unlikely. Willian? Sow?

It just seems that many of the opportunities which were open to us before have now closed. Few seem massively keen to come here. Few clubs keen to sell this late. desperate times.

I have no idea, none, nada, zip. I know who i would go after if i was him, i know who the papers are constantly linking us with and i know who the football manager crowd want us to buy.

As for who, if anyone we will buy i couldnt even guess. Wenger and our board are a very strange entity these days.

I heard that interview this morning and it did sound worrying. I don't know WTF is going on and we all deserve and explanation, every year we see the squad stripped of quality
and only the bare minimum done to compensate.

We need at least 3 players I would say but we'll be lucky to get one. This transfer window has been shocking and some cunt from the club needs to shed some light on the
situation. Wenger makes it sound like signing players is the hardest job on earth, now whilst I'm sure it's not as simple as playing Football Manager, to only have Gervinho as the only signing of note, whilst we lose a quarter of our first team squad takes the piss.

[Grebbo]

:tumbleweed:

[Daniele]

the thing is, AW thought could hang on to Cesc and Nasri. So we wasted too much time in dealing with them and let the window drawing to a close without even thinking about possible replacements. If you let cesc leave you have to sign Hazard, you cannot buy someone to make the numbers can you? another error of judgment.

[Seaman's Ponytail]

That he seriously expects us to believe this utter bollocks gives me the shits tbh. Citeh, Chelski and Manure have no such issues signing players. SAF knew what he needed, a CB, an AM and a GK. Was it hard for him? Ta fuck it was, all done and dusted by the end of June just as our business should have been as well. We are royally fucked if we if we lose tonight, no fucker will want to join us and there will only be one person to blame for that! :flash:

The glimmer of hope I'm clinging to is that we had to wait till the CL qualifier was done and the Nasri and Fabregas situations were resolved.
Tonight's result will determine our budget and the calibre of player we can attract. If the transfer window closes and we haven't made any major signings then, like Kate Middleton, we're royally screwed. But it's all going to be a mad scramble as we've only got a week or so to do things :(

Not really, Liverpool have spent millions and millions and arent in the champs league. Any loss of revenue is countered by the Nasri sale, so we should still have some £60mil+ to spend. As i said in another thread we should...should still be able to buy players from any team that arent a european giant IMO. Aside from teh Inter/AC, Real.Barca's of this world we should be able to buy them. Lille are french champions and in the champs league and it seems half their team want to play for us.

You don't think tonight's result has any impact on our budget or the kind of player we could attract?

[Kano]

if we traditionally went after top tier players then we'd be fucked. seeing as we go for the 10-15 mill bracket and if we miss out on the cl it would be the first time in 15 years, then i can't see it affecting us attracting those type of players. our budget doesnt really matter as its never spent anyway.

[RomfordPele]

To be honest, Wenger is such a contrary old bugger these days it wouldn't surprise me if we actually spent MORE if we got knocked out the CL. If we get through, he'll just say he has faith in his current squad, etc and he'll carry on with Project Yoof. If we're out, he'll be under pressure to wheel out a few big names, not least to save his own skin.

[Flavs]

I dont think he can mate, we dont have enough of them at the moment

[Darth Vela]

You don't think tonight's result has any impact on our budget or the kind of player we could attract?

I don't think it will have much impact on our budget but it will definitely be a biggie in terms of attracting players, it's the premier competition that every top player ( i.e. the guys we need to get in to replace Cesc) wants to be in, plus if we lose out it will only further corroborate the media POV that we're on the way down to mid-table mediocrity, hell it may even indicate that we ARE on our way down; that probably won't help us attract players.

In general terms the situation is still essentially this, Cesc needs to be replaced with someone who has a good dose of creativity and can control games with preferably an eye for goal, get that and we'll finish top 4. Get another CB to minimise the chance of Squillaci ever playing for us again and another experienced attacker/midfielder and we should compete for trophies.

You really think Gervinho weighs up the monetary advantage to be gained by the club when contemplating a strike on goal? Or Szczesny wonders whether we can get away with conceding a goal cos he cba to come out and claim a cross, as after all why expend energy when there's no financial benefit?

Our confidence is low and our attack is struggling to build anything approaching a forward move ending with a chance on goal, no amount of money changes that.

[Marc Overmars]

You don't think tonight's result has any impact on our budget or the kind of player we could attract?

I don't think it would impact the budget to an extent because we have more than enough in sales to compensate for the lack of CL football. It would almost certainly affect the calibre of player though. That might not even be a problem either though seeing as we won't be after bona fide stars anyway.

I don't think our confidence is low, not the players' confidence anyway. They didn't seem rattled over the last couple of games. The fans of course are shot to pieces, but I'm wondering if some sort of siege mentality could set in now and be the best thing that ever happened to some of these buggers. They've had it pampered for a long time, maybe digging it out in the trenches with Stoke City is exactly what they need. To lose that arrogance and that swagger, which has been unwarranted for years. We've got to prove we are better than Stoke now, rather than just assume it.

Or maybe they'll just collapse.


Barton is in talks with QPR apparently.

Is anyone seriously saying they'd rather not have this guy running out for us, maybe alongside Parker, tonight? Compared to what we've got? Barton the Teflon wind-up merchant and Parker the tireless water carrier. Instead of a couple of kids? Sorry but I'd take these two in a heartbeat at this stage of the proceedings. If QPR are setting up the stage then let's sweep both players off it at the last minute. QPR or Arsenal? Things aren't quite that bad yet so we should get our men if we are serious about it. Crap, even take them on loan with a view to buy later.

I suspect it hasn't even crossed Wenger's mind. They just aren't his type of player. But they should be because they represent the steel and experience we have been missing for a long time. Oh, and they wouldn't cost much money. Can't see how we could lose. Deal could be done today and we could be sweating a bit less on Sunday's fixture.

[Darth Vela]

We seemed confident and decisive at the back but we couldn't really get our passing game going in midfield or have that extra bit of sharpness in the final third (what? we really didn't) and that is down to a lack of confidence imo, along with a creativity shortfall in midfield; I'd love to see some siege mentality though, I really would.

[Flavs]

Ok so we don’t qualify for the champs league tonight. We should/could still attract players from elsewhere as i said above, thinking about the top 10 leagues in Europe While removing the very cream of the crop clubs, i see it like this
Spain
England
Italy
Germany
France
Portugal
Russia
Turkey
Greece
Sweden
Add into that all of Asia, South and Central America, the MLS and all oceanic and African leagues that is somewhere in the region of 250 clubs, roughly 25000 players who would want to come to play for us, surely somewhere in there we can find a fucking centre half who can head the ball? A left back who isn’t injured more than Stephen Hawking? A central midfielder who can not only pass but also dribble and shoot and a striker who’s first touch is better than Douglas Barder.

[Özim]

We've made a right mess of this transfer window to be honest, we've had all summer to indentify and sign players and yet we're into the last week and haven't done the necessary, except for largely signing kids.

Nasri and Cesc have been on their way out for a while and yet we've had noone lined-up, surely we must have known about their departures everyone else did after all, reminds me of when Wenger was adamant Flamini would stay and he left (and we'd let Diarra go in the January transfer window).

Going into the last week teams aren't going to want to sell their best players, why would they...they'd have no time to replace them, it's really stupid to leave it this late and think we could get what we needed. The Cesc/Nasri saga's dragged on all summer and now we're short of players with no signings in sight, we should have tried to push through the transfers (particularly Cesc), in the end we got a low fee for him which we could have got at the start of the summer.

Our transfer dealings have been shoddy for years now, we need someone to sort this out and deal with transfers more logically and efficiently, we've really made it hard for ourselves...through a total lack of common sense IMO.

The way the whole club is run needs a revamp.

[Flavs]

Another problem now as well, everyone knows we are loaded so will add another couple of million onto their prices

Yup and that's the reason we should have had someone lined-up, we've done this before selling top players without having a replacement in place.

£24mill for Lesbo was over the odds for a player in the last year of his contract (apparently a record according to SSN). So we can be a bit more generous given the urgency of the situation. Then again we got fucked on Cesc.

No, it's an indictment of the player. Just as Nasri has gone for the £200k a week. As great as he was, I don't think Vieira cares too much about Arsenal, considering he wanted to move to United/Real Madrid for most of his Arsenal career. And who says we wanted Vieira? We don't have any other recent ex-players on the coaching staff do we?

[Özim]

We don't have any other recent ex-players on the coaching staff do we?
You're right, I believe that's because Wenger doesn't like anyone interfering...who was it who said Wenger ignored his opinions when he worked there?

Maybe if he could be a bit less stubborn and more open minded we might have a chance of moving forward.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Arsenal can confirm that the transfer of Samir Nasri to Manchester City has been completed for an undisclosed fee.

Nasri, 24, who joined Arsenal from Olympique Marseille in July 2008, made a total of 125 appearances for the Gunners and scored 27 goals.

Last season, Nasri scored 15 goals from his 46 appearances, including ten goals in the Premier League from his 30 appearances.

Arsène Wenger said: "Although we are all disappointed Samir has decided to leave us, we must respect his decision and also thank him for his fantastic contribution to Arsenal Football Club. Samir's on-pitch commitment to Arsenal was never in question and he always gave absolutely everything to the team.

"We will miss Samir, but if a player coming into the last year of their contract is determined to leave the Club and we also receive a competitive offer for them, this clearly influences our decision-making process."

Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to thank Samir for his contribution during his time at the Club.

Wouldn't it just go to the next best placed Turkish team not implicated? Although I guess that would require the Turkish FA to strip them of the title and that could be a while away.

That would seem fairer, although runners-up Trabzonspor already out of CL and are implicated too.

But, this article is really for those who love to play golf all the time. Now, I am disappointed. I'm not jealous or anything. I just thought that it was a landscape garden or something like that. I thought he had a garden or a pond or garden designs. You know, like sculpters. That's want I thought. Now, this is not want I'm into. They should've quoted that he has a golf course in his backyard. They misinterpret that. If they said that he has a golf course in his backyard, I wouldn't be writing about this.

If we qualify for the CL proper tonight, can anyone think of any other excuse that could be used to avoid signing players?

Down to the final days having wasted the whole summer, check! Players waiting to see if we qualify for the CL before signing (sorting that tonight). So what else could stop us at least bidding for a player this week? What trick will they use?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Argentine striker Mauro Zarate has fuelled speculation about his future by admitting it is currently 'impossible' for him to stay at Lazio.

The former Birmingham forward has been linked with a return to the Premier League over the summer, with Arsenal, Tottenham and Chelsea all rumoured to be interested in the 24-year-old.

The Rome club are not actively looking to sell the frontman but have previously revealed they would consider any offer that comes in.

Zarate, who is rumoured to have fallen out with coach Edy Reja, insists he does not want to leave the Biancocelesti but admits conditions at the club currently mean he may have to move on.

"It's not true I want to leave Lazio," said Zarate in the Italian media.

Get to buying AW

[RomfordPele]

If we qualify for the CL proper tonight, can anyone think of any other excuse that could be used to avoid signing players? We've been through the waiting period (I'm beginning to suspect Wenger made that up but that's because I'm a conspiracy theorist), Cesc deal, check! Nasri deal, check! Down to the final days having wasted the whole summer, check! Players waiting to see if we qualify for the CL before signing (sorting that tonight). So what else could stop us at least bidding for a player this week? What trick will they use?

Hmm, Wenger said something along the lines of "we're trying very hard but we've got eight quality players out at the moment, people forget that ..."

Project Yoof is back on track I fear ...

We can sign some Udinese players now.

Di Natale and Armero pls.

Maybe Badu as well.

Arsène Wenger decided to let Samir Nasri leave for “psychological and financial reasons”.

Arsenal agreed terms with Manchester City for the purchase of the midfielder on Tuesday, just before the Emirates Stadium side departed to Udinese and a crucial Champions League Play-off second leg tie.

Nasri trained with the side that morning and, as against Liverpool at the weekend, would have lined up against the Italian outfit if selected. He did not know that Wenger made up his mind on the move just before the session. Later, the manager said he was reluctant to let the 24-year-old go but admitted he had to be “a realist” given the French international would have been able to leave on free transfer at the end of next season and able to sign a pre-contract in January.

“Samir trained on Tuesday morning,” said Wenger. “But I knew before training. He didn’t know, the decision was made this morning just before training. He came in to practice.

“I don’t question Samir Nasri's commitment or professionalism. If I told him ‘you come with us and play’, he would have played like he did on Saturday but you wonder what kind of a commitment you can have.

“Football rules are made like that, that the player can be worth a lot of money today and nothing in six months so it doesn’t look completely logical but, at the end of the day, of course, we are forced into a decision like that for psychological and financial reasons.

Wenger - The reasons why Nasri left Arsenal

“I am a realist so I have no illusions. It's part of the modern life of a professional football player. It's not that by coincidence that everybody suddenly lands at Man City.

“We did not want to lose Fabregas, but we were forced into a situation we didn’t want. Nasri is a situation where the player didn’t want to extend his contract with the proposals he had somewhere else. What kind of commitment can you have when the player is not there long-term? That is the question you have to answer.”

So basically Wenger thinks Nasri is a greedy little fucker too.

[Keith]

"Nasri is a situation where the player didn’t want to extend his contract with the proposals he had somewhere else."

So, we either let him speak to him, he was tapped up or Paddy, Kolo and that shit left back told him how much he'd earn...

I was in France when we signed Nasri, he really was billed as the next big thing. National radio was talking about him coming to Arsenal. He did well last year 10 in 30, but I'm not fussed about him going. He'll be replaced, the scouts will find another.

[Edinburgh Gooner]

So basically Wenger thinks Nasri is a greedy little fucker too.

Seems that way. Mibbie Wenger's degree in economics is finally paying dividends. The realisation that Nasri would never sign an extension after having his head turned has made him just say FUCK OFF YOU GREEDY BASTARD! I can buy a more commited player or 3 and start winning things.

If we assume that we haven't bought because of Champs Lge attracting players.

We therefore also assume that players such as Cahill, Jagielka, Samba, Parker are not of interest to us.

We would have bought them already. They're not Champs Lge demanding players.

I don't want him.

Not sure why because he's better than what we've got.

Just injuries and slowness would put me off. Plus signing him might kill Diaby.

[Boss]

Doubt we'll buy anyone from the PL.

Not sure about Kaka, if we were looking for decling playmakers would have rather us gone in for Diego as reckon he'd suit the league better.

Never seen M'Vila play but good to see we're in for someone to challenge Song as he desperately needs it.

Lastly, Forlan is available for 5-10M euros, if only we'd get interested cos he's a beast and that's a phenomenal price.

I agree, not in the least bit interested in Kaka.

Maybe 2-3 years ago he would be a quality signing, but I think we need to look a little bit younger than that.

Despite his undoubted physical abilities, it is M’Vila’s passing that will likely have also impressed Wenger. In March last year he set a new record for France, notching a 92.5 pass completion rate against Luxembourg and he also claimed the Ligue 1 record in 2010/2011 against Valenciennes.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9Y66kGoFf8

:pray:

:good: sentiments very much shared......he could well be the guy in the middle that holds things together (Song would be a good back up)......Wilshere and one more Ramsey(?)/Arshavin(?) can dance around -

Wenger would do well to pitch things to recruits that he is out to prove a point that we are being written off by many including, certain departure(s) and that his goal is to make this club strong again and he believes that players like M'Vila and Hazard, Cahill/Jags are just what we need.

I have a feeling that if we do get these guys in.....+Gervinho, Jenkinson (who is fucking showing that he ain't that out of his depth) and a few others already here (I would keep Lansbury) - Miyachi has had first team football in a European league we will have a faster/more balanced team - would like to see less of the walking the ball into the net.......we definitely dont play for second ball enough

if we have money left, look for a specialist LB or stick with what we have and buy Honda.......too much maybe but feeling a bit light headed today - the hard work starts from here in. who be be a.....Gooner

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Kaka would stir things up for sure. Can't see that one happening though.

on loan maybe......and Real picking up wages but permanent no thanks cos we just cant be sure what kind of player he is anymore (which of course is the case for all players but with others they have been playing, Kaka has not)......this just smacks of Real trying to get rid of dead wood and for what his wages would cost+plus 17.5mil not worth it cos in this case I would say younger talent is better

it would be interesting tho - thinking about it!

[Master Splinter]

M'Vila looks like an excellent player, but it just doesn't seem to make sense as Frimpong has just been promoted. Unless tonight's game is a sign of what's to come: two more defensively inclined midfielders giving the rest of the team license to roam and rampage. Like Brazil with Melo and Gilberto.

Sounds quite good tbh.

Wenger would probably mould and nurture M'Vila's attacking game too.

[KSE Comedy Club]

It does seem a little odd. Frimpong is looking very good imo and it would be a shame to impede his development.

I dont see where song/pong will fit in with M'vila tbh?

[Master Splinter]

It does seem a little odd. Frimpong is looking very good imo and it would be a shame to impede his development.



Hi, Arsene :wave:.


But yeah, that's exactly my point. A big, black, no-nonsense midfield would certainly be intimidating though.

But then they'd see Theo and laugh.

[Flavs]

Simples, they wont. Frimpong will be dropped, we will have many options in midfield then

Wilshere, Ramsey, M'Vila

Diaby, Rosicky, Song

And frimpong to cover injuries and suspensions. I still think if Lansbury goes we will get another as well.

[Keith]

Isn't Diaby dead?

he was loaned out to Real Sociedad. Player with tremenduous potential, a bit lazy. A fit and in form Diaby is better IMO. He never is though. what I said in another post is that AW should revert to the old days when he bought unwanted players ffrom big teams and made theam champions: Henry, Vieira. There are some around, like Amauri a tough good in the air CF who always does well away from Juve and would fit perfectly in the PL. what is more he is on the cheap as Juve want to loan him as well! Far better than Shitmack

no offence to anyone but i dont think we should be going for another afric`n striker. come the ACN gerv and chamack (if still here) will be off, should we really buy another that`would be gone for 2 months as well! that would leave only rvp and his fibreglass legs!

We've got Campbell too tbf but agreed, wouldn't want us to sign another African striker.

Looks like the interest in M'Vila is somewhat real as it's been mentioned by The Guardian and Express but strange it hasn't been picked up by the rest of the media, surely a 20M bid from us for anyone would be big news.

M'Vila, Cahill and another attacking player would make this a decent summer on the whole.
