Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

Why should it stop with Wenger? For all we know he's tried to keep Fabregas and Nasri here, he's tried to make signings, we just don't know. It could well be the hateful, filthy swine excrement in the boardroom that have insisted we keep under-bidding by £2mill. It could be the flatulent, obese, puss riddled vermin in the directors' box who have caved on the Fabregas price and jumped at the Nasri cash. Look at the facts. As the club has sunk these blood-suckers have filled their pockets. And the yank says nothing. For all we know none of them pay any attention to the football side of things any more, focusing only on scraping in profit wherever they can find it including turning the transfer window into a profit centre. Maybe spending £15mill on Oxo is simply a three year program to groom him for a Man City or a Chelsea or a Real Madrid with £30mill coming the other way. RvP and Theo will be gone next season, Jack after that. This club looks more and more like a production line and less like a football club as each season passes.

Joel Campbell signs

Who is Jadson? Lowdown on new Gunner

Part of Shakhtar's Brazilian set

Jadson is perhaps the best of Shakhtar Donetsk's large Brazilian contingent. He was brought to Ukraine from his first club, Atletico Paranaense in 2005. He was joined at the Ukrainian club by compatriots Willian, Ilsinho, Fernandinho, Luiz Adriano and most recently the Manchester United target Douglas Costa.

The architect of their success

Jadson has the characteristic gifts of a Brazilian attacking midfielder. He is well balanced, with a low centre of gravity and has exceptional footwork from either side. For Shakhtar he played as the central attacking midfielder of a 4-2-3-1, similar to Arsenal's current system. In seven seasons in Ukraine, Jadson won the title five times, as well as two cups.

That magical night in Istanbul

Jadson's peak as a Shakhtar player was the 2009 Uefa Cup final at Fenerbahce's stadium in Istanbul. After one of his trademark late runs into the box, he scored the winning goal in extra-time as Shakhtar beat Werder Bremen 2-1.

International recognition

His international career has only just started, but he went to the Copa America and scored the opening goal from distance in Brazil's 2-2 draw with Paraguay.

Where will he fit in at Arsenal?

His skills are perfect to replace Cesc Fabregas as the brain of the 4-3-3 system. Of similar build to Fabregas (and Samir Nasri), he should contribute goals from distance and from inside the box.

@younggunsblog: Arsenal will be paying £930,000 for Joel Campbell, rising to just over £1 million, if certain variable bonuses are met. Campbell previously said in an interview two weeks ago that Arsenal had promised him the number 12 shirt.

Hard to see how this guy will score less than 30 goals this season. Add his 30 to RvPs 20 and this will be more than enough up front. Now add Scott Dann and I can't see anyone getting within a mile of us. PL is in the bag.

The transfer is subject to the completion of formal agreements and processes.
Arsenal Manager Arsène Wenger said: “Joel Campbell has already shown that he is a player with great ability, and has also performed well on the international stage at a young age. We look forward to the formalities of the transfer being completed and working with Joel when he joins us at Arsenal."

Splashing the cash, big time! Finally we are kicking arse in the transfer window. Add this to the Scott Dan fee and we'll have blown the entire Clichy fee. Crazy extravagance.

I've seen this guy, he can head, shoot with both feet, regularly scores with bicycle kicks and backflicks, he's super fast, can dribble, pass, makes great run's of the defenders, times his run to perfection and is one of the best volleyers around....he can even bend the ball from one side of the pitch to the other in 20 yards.

So yeah 30 goals at least and that's a conservative estimate.

Wenger pulls another rabbit out of the hat, in Wenger we trust. :bow:

This is such an exciting time, can't wait for the season to start, I feel the final 2% is finally here, we're ready to dominate at long last.

Shame we won't see him here i mean will he get his visa i mean wellington has been waiting ages for his, this guy may take longer to get his.

I don't know who he'll be scoring 30 goals for, it won't be us.....pretty sure he won't be able to get a work permit

I wonder is Wenger signing these players to get back at the people who have been mean to him?

Quite happy about Campbell signing, looks like he'll become a beast of a player.

Will be able to sell him for at least 20M in a couple years so everyone wins. :coffee:

He looks pretty decent...hopefully our Hernandez.

Ryo, Oxlade, Jenkinson, Gervinho, Campbell in so far. We need a defender and at least jadson and maybe plus one to replace Cesc and Nasri then it'll be interesting tosee how it pans out!

I don't know whether he'll meet the required quota but he's played 6 or 7 times for Costa Rica which would probably stand him in good stead to get a permit, assuming we'll apply for one which, if he's getting 12 as his number looks likely.

Incidentally, he looks like he could be a decent player and is exactly the type of player we need, shame he isn't a few years older otherwise he'd actually be a good signing instead of another punt.

I think he can apply for a permit as a special case as he's a young international whilst WS is only under 17s.

Think they already gave that to Wenger, he is "special case" indeed.

He looks pretty good on the youtubes, in terms of technique

Who knows about his involvement in 90 mins though...

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XC1m87ZAe4o

Looks freakin sick to me. Will he be able to join us straight away?

Looks like this new arsenal team will be bursting with pace, and im happy with that.

Denilson, Bender, Almunia (won't be playing), Eboue (Jenkinson taken over), Nasri( inconsistent), Cesc, and anyone else out.

Teenagers with pace in.

Could have sold Vela for 20M after the 6-0 win against Sheff Utd tbf.

campbell (striker), gervinho (winger), oxo (winger), jenkinson (rb/lb) all in.

bender, nascunt, cesc, eboue and almunia look like all leaving.

just need a cb and cesc replacement... would be a very good summer by our accounts if everything falls in place.

ATLEAST, and i mean ATLEAST Jadson and Dann in and I'll be happy, with money left over which Wenger can use.

Our CC team this year should be intriguing.

Oxo, Miyaichi and Campbell. :bow:

We cry out for experience all summer and 3 out of 4 signings so far are teenagers.

Wenger the WUM. :bow:

In other news, Gervinho has taken Eboue's number 27, who in turn hasn't been given a new number.

Clearest sign yet that he's off.

all of a sudden we've got quite a bit of pace in our team.

just wish we had done all this crap a month ago. we'd have gelled together by now and ready to kick off tomorrow.

We needed tried and tested players with experience. The grand total experience of all our signings - zero. We'll pay heavily for this as the season unwinds. Another disaster presided over by a sad manager who is a shadow of the guy who hoisted the PL and knew how to pick players. I was reading up on Mata and looking through his stats plus having a watch on YT. Now that's a player, I can see what the fuss was about. Of course we fucked that up. If Mata was coming I'd have some hope (provided we got those two CBs in of course), but looking at the motley crew Wenger has dredged up on the cheap (apart from the utterly inexplicable Chamberlain at £15m who we don't even need), reality intervenes to tell you none of them will be capable of making the impact we need. It's unfair to even ask them. Wenger is such a screw up it's unreal.

Yep. Wenger has spent £27m and not signed an ounce of Premiership experience. Compare that with Fergie's signings....

Fergie's in the business of winning titles whereas Wenger is doing some sort of youth work only loosely connected to football by the look if it. One's a serious competitor who has won under all circumstances and conditions, the other is a guy who cries about how much money Man City have. The two can't be compared in any meaningful way. Mind you, Wenger did get voted best manager of all time, didn't he? :doh:

Don't worry, Jadson and Mata will tear it up.



















For Shakhtar and Valencia. :coffee:

I'm in that mood that I desperately want to see some transfer news NOW I just don't want to wait, i keep going onto Sky Sports news site, and other sites for transfer news. COME ON Wenger!
