Surely we need to be buying a couple defenders, striker and AM before the window closes. I like Hazard but do we really need anymore wingers? Can he play centrally?
Hazard :pray:Quote:

Don't worry, he can play them up front...that's the beauty of Wenger, a players position doesn't matter you can always stick him somewhere else.Quote:

@DerekDerangoBBC
#lfc interested in Ryan Shawcross and Gary Cahill. Cahill holding out for #afc, but with Arsenal going for Jagielka, Cahill to #lfc possible

Derek Derango No agreement between Madrid's asking price and #afc valuation. Madrid reckon Kaka's commercial value is undervalued.

I know it's frightening isn't it? The scary thing is Arsene is crazy enough to go into the season with the squad as it is, it really wouldn't surprise me.Quote:

He'll probably try and buy a number of players over the next few weeks but will fail due to low ball offers & not compromising on valuations.
Derek Derango is another bullshit account. Doesn't exist.
Can you please just let us dream.Quote:

True.Quote:

It would be a huge coup if we signed him.

Bolton Wanderers manager Owen Coyle insists there are still no bids for in-demand defender Gary Cahill.
The England international is out of contract next summer and has been linked with the likes of Arsenal, Liverpool and Man City.
Many expect offers to flood in for Cahill before the transfer window closes, but Coyle has again reiterated that things are quiet.
Coyle insists there is no credence to the speculation doing the rounds and that Cahill himself is focused solely on his football.
Cahill scored the club's opening Premier League goal of the season against QPR last week and Coyle is still in awe of the long-range special.
Speculation
"There is no foundation to the speculation and I have said to Gary there is nothing to be distracted about," said Coyle.
"He has to focus on what he does for Bolton; he gets well paid by the club and has a great contract and we have invested a lot of money in him after buying him from Aston Villa.
"He has shown that focus with his performances. If there was something concrete to happen then Gary would be the first to know.
"He knows the way I work as a manager, the relationship I have with him and you saw last week how focused he was.
"Aside from his defensive performance what he adds at set-plays and moving forward and the goal he scored is all credit to Gary Cahill and long may it continue.
"I have said before Gary has, I believe, the feet of a centre-forward even though he operates at the back. It was a world-class strike from a world-class player in the making."
Can see a big bid off for this guys in the week. You have thought Coyle would keep quite aobout the fact no ones bid for him lol.
got it. . . .you test sunbeds! ?Quote:

or I could be talking as much twoddle as a AW press conference
The only way I can justify it, is that he is waiting to see if we make CL before buying people. But thats a bit ridiculous as we have more than enough money to cover any CL exit and buy players, also we're more likely to attract good players if there's still the possibility of us getting to the group stages.
The worse thing of all is there are hardly any rumours of us being interested in someone, it takes us at least a month of haggling before agreeing a fee.

Welcome to Joel Campbell.Quote:
Joel Campbell has been confirmed as an Arsenal player, with all formal agreements and processes relating to his transfer now complete.
Campbell, 19, who joins the Gunners fresh from representing Costa Rica at the U-20 World Cup in Colombia, is also a regular with his senior national team.
Everyone at Arsenal Football Club would like to welcome the young striker to the Club and look forward to his contributions to the team.
:bow:
Jon Walters has signed a one year contract extension, shame, he was the dream signing of this transfer window.

Werder Bremen general manager Klaus Allofs is not attempting to sell players, but would listen to offers amid ongoing reports of Arsenal interest in Per Mertesacker.
The Germany international has been linked with a move to Emirates Stadium for several years and the rumour-mill has increased this summer.
Following the sale of Cesc Fabregas to Barcelona and the impending transfer of Samir Nasri to Manchester City, Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has money to spend.
Giant centre-back Mertesacker is considered to be a player who would improve the Gunners, and Werder have previously said a possible sale would be a decision of boss Thomas Schaaf.Allofs is not actively looking to offload players, who could also include Marko Arnautovic and Marko Marin, but he would consider official approaches.
He told Kreiszeitung Syke: "I am ready for everything, but I can insist we have not been offering any player of this club to another club.
Experts
"Should there be concrete offers, we will consider them then. This has not been the case thus far.
"My experience tells me that there are some experts on the scene that will only start to do action in the final days of the transfer window. Should this be the case, we would also be around."
Earlier in the week, Germany Under 21 international Kevin Schindler left Werder to join last season's rock-bottom Bundesliga club, St Pauli, on a one-year contract.
But Arnautovic does not want to follow Schindler out of Bremen, who host Freiburg this weekend, despite claiming to be the subject of approaches from other clubs.
"There are enquiries, that is a fact," he told BILD. "I am unaware of how concrete those enquiries are.
"I have not spoken to anyone and I also plan not to speak to anyone. I am just focused on Werder Bremen. I want to play for this club. This is my future."

Makes me think we haven't identified replacements for Cesc and Nasri and this was a short term option. It's looking more likely we'll head past the transfer window without any signings. We're fucked and with this squad we'll be mid table. 4th is just pie in the sky with this squad.Quote:

And that DerekDerango, whether he exists or not, is not BS at all, as his posts talking about possible transfers always end saying "impossible", so it´s pure realism regarding Arsenal and transfers.
It´s not worrying anymore, we´ve reached a point where all this transfer talk is actually funny and enjoyable.
Wenger it seems is not afraid to spend Money but only on players that will have a high sell on rate, i.e buy the ox for 8million+ sell him on for 20mil +
What has happened to my club? :(Quote:

But is it really possible that he lost the plot as he seems to have? A guy that was always ahead of the other managers, with less money than them. There must be something else that ties his hands in a dirty way. The stadium debt can´t be the main excuse imo.
