Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Apparently Di Maria has an £85mill release clause in his contract :haha:

Arsenal have signed the Romania Under-16 captain Vlad Dragomir from ACS Poli Timisoara for €100,000 (£71,000) and he will begin his career at the north London club as a first-year scholar.

That's the midfielder done then.

Yaya Toure was more the holding player for Barca....and it was very hard to see the marauding virtuoso of a player we've now seen at Man City at the time. There are players around who can do both roles and I believe Vidal to be one of them. If if they would say Pogba is the jewel in the crown, most Juve fans would tell you that Vidal has done just as much if not more for them than Pogba has.

The near obsession with Morgan S, who whored himself to Spurs, signing for us and doing the role we need as though he were the only one capable, is slightly odd. That said I struggle to see Wenger signing a CM unless we lose 2 midfielders.

....and still don't really get the big deal about Aubemyang but maybe I haven't seen him enough. Doesn't seem significantly better than Andre Ayew to the naked eye at times....

May be Flamini could leave.. along with Diaby, that'd be two CM's. I wouldnt mind losing Arteta either, but I think his presence in the dressing room can be immense.

How would you know that?

Doesn't exactly seem like a vocal presence, seems more like a casual knitter to me

Gerard Deulofeu for £4.2m is a bargain IMO, brilliant signing for Everton. :coffee:

Everton is his level.

It's also only 4.3 million because there's a punitive buyback clause in there.

I think Yaya was playing the same sort of CM role we see him playing now before he moved to Barca. I remember hearing about his passing range and talent whilst playing in Greece and France. Fact tgat he could also play DM was great because we were desperate in that position as well.

Still can't believe we didn't sign him when he left Olympiacos or Monaco. That's when we were first linked with him in the press. I know we had him on trial but he had passport trouble but we should have been able to sign him once he left Ukraine. I don't think Wenger liked his attitude. He's said he could have been an Arseanl player if he was patient. You csn dee at City that he's a character. I'm guessing that's why we never signed him and sent him out on loan like we did with other players.
