Oh well, we can only go with what we've got and hope they can do some sort of a job. This is what it feels like to be in the second tier. And it feels different to the 80's because back then you knew the names, players that had been around their entire careers. And of course we got the odd FA Cup final thrown in when it still meant something. There was a familiarity and some sense of being in it together. Now it's like standing outside with your face pressed against the glass, hoping the millionaires inside can be arsed to at least try.Quote:

At the start of the 2011/12 season Eboue lost his squad number to new signing Gervinho, who was given the number 27 shirt upon his arrival, which left Eboue's future at the club unclear. It is believed that eboue will leave Arsenal to join Turkish side Galatasaray beforore the end of August 2011, with the transfer fee thought to be in the region of £3.75 plus 1 curly wurly.

http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/2...y-samir-nasri?Quote:
Roberto Mancini has renewed his criticisms of the Manchester City board, describing himself as "worried" going into the new season because of the club's inability to conclude their transfer business earlier in the summer.
Samir Nasri's proposed transfer from Arsenal would once again establish City as the biggest transfer-window spenders in English football, with a net spend in excess of £60m. Mancini, however, is becoming increasingly impatient with the length of time it is taking for his squad to be completed.
The Italian had expected Nasri to be confirmed before Friday's registration point to play against Swansea on Monday, and he still wants at least one more signing. "Last year was the same too," he said. "I don't understand this. I thought we could get all the players we needed three or four weeks ago. But here we are and the deals aren't closed.
"We need this player [Nasri]. I asked for this player two months ago. I'm worried because I don't have this player today and I probably won't have him tomorrow. We play three games in August and I am worried."
The Nasri deal has been held up because the clubs are arguing about the structure of the payments for a deal that would cost City in the region of £23m.
It has been a complex process – Arsenal began the summer by stating unequivocally that Nasri would not be sold to an English rival – and the fact the London club are now willing to sell could be construed as a personal triumph for the City chief executive, Garry Cook, and the football administrator, Brian Marwood. But Mancini's relationship with the two men has been fractious at times over the summer and he remains unsatisfied.
"I haven't spoken with Garry or Brian, so I don't know the situation," Mancini continued. "I hope that we can get the players I asked for two months ago. Monday is the start of the season for us and we have not completed our team. I hope we can do this very quickly because we need other players."
Assume this will be wrapped up shortly.
Re Jadson:
http://arsenalanalysis.blogspot.com/...egotiate.html?Quote:
However speaking to the Ukrainian press today, Shakhtar’s Director Sergey Palkyn, said that he had not received Arsenal’s offer and that the most important factor to consider was the player’s wishes.
"There are no proposals for Jadson and I have not heard anything about the fact that representatives of Arsenal came to Donetsk to negotiate a transfer of our football player"
- Are we ready to let him go? I do not see any problem if we and the football player will be satisfied with the proposal. The main thing is the desire of the player. If it is present, then we are ready to negotiate with any club. "
And lastly, re Vela:
http://news.arseblog.com/index.php/2...ciedad-switch/Quote:
Carlos Vela looks set to join Real Sociedad on loan, according to Spanish publication El Mundo Deportivo.
The Mexican international has struggled to secure a regular starting berth at the Emirates since signing for the Gunners six years ago and will now move to the Primera Division outfit for the season.
Tipped to have a bright future in North London, having won the Golden Boot at the under-17 World Cup in 2005, Vela spent two seasons on loan in Spain with Salamanca and Osasuna before gaining a work permit and making an exciting impact in the Carling Cup campaign of 2008-09.
Despite flashes of genius on the ball, and regularly demonstrating his trademark chip finish in friendly matches, the 22-year-old has always sat behind the likes of Bendtner, Chamakh, Walcott and Arshavin in the pecking order.
Having been loaned to West Bromwich Albion in January and with Arsene Wenger adding Ryo Miyaichi, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Joel Campbell to his first team squad this summer, it would appear that Vela’s return to the Iberian Peninsula could pre-empt a permanent switch next summer should he impress his new employers.
With us having Van Persie, Chamakh, Campbell and Gervinho/Walcott up front, can't see Wenger buying another striker. Can see him finally moving Theo there with the purchases of Ugly Theo™, Gervinho and the addition of Miyaichi.
Will probably see Jadson as a replacement for Cesc + Nasri, can't see Wenger signing a CB with the four (Vermaelen + rubbish) available.
At least 2 more will sign before the window closes, I am certain.
I will not be a happy arsenal if we don't sign 2 players in the obvious needed positions.
Mata or Jadson plus a defender. It will happen.

I wouldn't mind Dann at all. Whoever comes in won't be first choice anyway. Dann on the bench instead of the squid retard would do me just fine.Quote:

Jadson apparently said on his Twitter that he will have news for everyone next week.
I'd rather get in a new first choice defender but I'm pretty happy with Vermscielny, still yet to concede a goal since pre-season started after all...Quote:

http://www.thesun.co.uk/sol/homepage...mir-Nasri.htmlQuote:
ARSENAL have sensationally told Manchester City: Give us Carlos Tevez and you can have Samir Nasri.
Hitman Tevez has been trying to get out of Manchester all summer.
And with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger under growing pressure to bring in a top buy, the Gunners have suddenly come up with their shock proposal.
Midfielder Nasri had hoped to sign for City by yesterday lunchtime after being promised a £180,000-a-week deal.
But Arsenal - also on the verge of losing skipper Cesc Fabregas - have blocked the move while they see if they can sort a swap with Tevez.
The Gunners will have to make a cash adjustment in City's favour for the Argie because the club's top scorer is valued at £50million.
The best Arsenal can get for Nasri is £25m as there is only one year remaining on the French star's contract - meaning he could walk for nothing next summer.
However, Arsenal are hoping to get the Tevez fee down by £10m.
And they believe they can come to an agreement over his wages which could be as much as £200,000 a week.
Tevez has said he wants out of City to be closer to his family in Argentina but London is only 200 miles nearer South America than Manchester.
However, SunSport understands Tevez would be delighted to join Arsenal in a move which would be a massive boost for their fans.
An Arsenal insider said: "Tevez would be just the signing to give everyone a lift.
"There is a lot of work to be done yet but if there is a will on all sides it can happen.
"Nasri wants to get to City, Tevez wants to get out and Wenger needs a new star to get everyone off his back.
"It seems like win-win all round."
Meanwhile, Fabregas' expected departure to Barcelona has been delayed.
The midfield general was hoping to fly out yesterday to seal his £35million move to the Spanish champions.
But Barca have told him to wait until Monday when they hope to complete the formalities on a five-year deal.
The Gunners last night agreed terms with Costa Rican side Deportivo Saprissa to sign teenage striker Joel Campbell.
:doh:
Wenger isn't on twitter
No a dude on twitter got those quotes from sources.
I heard those rumours earlier on tweeter. MAKE IT HAPPEN!Quote:
