If we get one of those Spanish midgets in, there's a danger we could actually be good.Quote:

Even if Santi goes a bit higher, I agree with that and it may not finish there, every chance we bring in a keeper and I wont be surprised to see the MVila story do the rounds again. As I see us using money we have or at least what we plan to get from Nic and co on Santi and RvPs will go on someone else, reckon we will also be wiser with wages offeredQuote:

having said that, it was only yesterday wenger said our young defenders are too inexperienced for the premier league and today confirmed squillaci is leaving, so maybe he has plans to sign another defender?
A few people on twitter reckon cazorla will be announced either late tomorrow or on Wednesday.
Also sky sports said we'd signed him on their website, then they removed it.

How about they give us the £70m and pay RVP £0 a week?Quote:
Juventus plan to spend £70m on Arsenal striker Robin van Persie, 28. The package includes both the transfer fee and the player's wages and is intended to ensure they beat Manchester United and Manchester City to his signature.

Seems cazorla wants to come and Malaga are resigned to losing him. But are adamant that the sale of the club is an independent issue and so Arsenal will need to fork out a good fee if they want him.
All this talk of them having to pay their La Liga fee's, cant they just use their champs league money for that?
That's credit they don't have yet - they could get knocked out of the play-off round after all.

Straight swap for Arshavin
I wouldn't mind Dempsey but he shouldn't be a priority.
Get Cazorla in first.
Mr Arseblog seems to think Barca are in for Song. Piece in "Sport" the spanish rag.
apparently he's refusing to sign a new contract. :shrug:
IF that is true, I wouldn't be at all worried that arsenal will be without Song. I'll be worried that Barcelona are interested in someone who is not top notch. As we know, they only poach our very best players such as Fabregas and Hleb.
If it facilitates the m'vila transfer I'm all for it.
Yeah I agree with Syn. No way is Song technically good enough for Barca, he'd stand out like a sore thumb in their team. If they wanted that kind of player they wouldn't have sold Toure who's far superior to Song.
They aren't in for song.
It's from an opinion piece that suggests they should look at getting song to replace Keita.
It pure paper talk.
Not worried at all if Song goes.
Do not forget, we have also...oh.
:(
Song wont go anywhere
No other team in the world will give him the luxury of playing that offensively as he does for us seeing as hes a DM
Wow.:faint:Quote:

Dempsey? Fulham regect and nearly 30. No thanks.
We need to stop pretending Song is a DM and use him as a third in the midfield three that does both attacking and defending, something like how Yaya Toure plays for Citeh (alongside a pure DM).
We do that and he will be world class, no point looking at selling him.
23 goals in 45 games last season for Fulham...yes pleaseQuote:

Plus he has a nasty streak of American dickishness.
Gooby plz

Wenger KnowsBest @wengerknowsbest
You better watch out, you better not cry, you better not pout, I'm telling you why. Is Santi Cazorla coming to town? No.
I would certainly have Dempsey here, goals from midfield and a great set piece on him. I'm sure he'd be a hit with the fans because he's one of those players with an infectious attitude on the pitch.
However I doubt we have any intentions to sign him and Liverpool seems like his likely destination anyway.
I still wouldnt be surprised to see RvP go to Chelsea and Walcott to Liverpool
If we replace Walcott with Carloza that wouldn't be so bad. Although you know he would become good for them :banghead:Quote:

Massive Bollocks.
A London club and they could do with more firepower. Surprised they haven't tabled a bid as well.Quote:
