Can confirm Arsenal are in advanced talks to sign Werder Bremen and Germany centre-back Per Mertesacker. Story to follow on BBC site #afc

M'Vila's agent tells me NO move this window unless €40m offer arrived. One PL club inquired but he insists wasn't Arsenal + #afc did not bid
2 hours ago
Arsenal move for Benayoun only initial inquiries at present, no update on Cahill, but club are working round the clock on various deals #afc
3 hours ago
Park signing not quite complete - still some formalities to sort - but Arsenal expect to wrap it up Tuesday, announcement in due course #afc
14 hours ago
Arsenal confirm to me that Fenerbahce left-back Andre Santos is set to join for about £6.2m, subject to medical and personal terms #afc
So looks like Mertesacker/Santos done deals, then. Interesting re: M'Vila.
SSN just said that Mertesacker has been given a full days leave to speak to the club that are interested in him and they expect a deal to be concluded tonight.
Must be the other medical today then.
Wenger is panic buying.
But vast majority in friendlys which according to them don't count. No idea if true.Quote:

Arsenal
Mertesacker & two more deals close.
We know that one of those could be yossi, malouda, Elia, etc but who the fuck is the CM gona be?
Mertesacker eh? Zimm is going to go mental. :lol:
Now weve sold traore I highly doubt that we would take a risk buying a player for that position if he couldnt get a work permit.Quote:

Park Chu-young's agent has shed light on why the striker decided to go to Arsenal when he appeared set for a move to Lille, describing the opportunity to join the Gunners as too good to turn down.
The South Korea international had been given permission to leave Monaco this summer following their relegation from Ligue 1, and French champions Lille were close to finalising a deal.
However, it emerged over the weekend that Arsenal were set to sign Park, much to the frustration of Lille.
A transfer to the Emirates Stadium has still not been officially announced, but it is expected to go through before Wednesday night's deadline.
The 26-year-old's representative, Maurizio Morana, has now revealed exactly what happened to change his client's mind.
Military duty
Morana has also spoken about Park's excitement at the prospect of joining such a club at this stage of his career as he must return home for two years' national service before the age of 30.
"We could not imagine what happened. On Friday, Arsenal contacted Monaco to know if an agreement had been found with Lille about a transfer," Morana told France Football.
"As it was not the case, Arsenal started to negotiate, then asked to contact the player.
"Could you imagine how a player from Monaco could refuse such a club?
"As he should come back to his native Korea later in 2013 for military duties, this could be his last contract in Europe.
"When Arsene Wenger directly calls a player and asks him to join Arsenal, it is difficult to refuse."
Morana also rejected suggestions that Park's conduct demonstrated a lack of respect to Lille.
"We are sorry for the Lille officials who acted in a very professional way, but I can't agree when I hear Park has no sense of morals," the agent stated.
"There is no link with moral sense or honour, it is only football."
Seems the rumour mill has gone into overdrive. Since yesterday evening I have heard us linked with Mertesaker, Santos, Alex, Benayoun, Malouda as well as the players we've been linked with for a while (Cahill, Samba, M'Vila, Park).
Really does beg the question why the fuck has Wenger waited so long, it makes no sense whatsoever.
we had to observe the waiting periodQuote:

Just on him by the way, will be interesting to see where he plays for us, very very mobile forward so could see him replace Arshavin on the left or wallie on that dire right side. Either way it spells the end for VelaQuote:
