Could Samba/Cahill also join, and one of the others be loaned out.
Midfielder or two please Mr Wenger.
So this is what it feels like to be a City fan but with lesser known players and a budget 10% of theirs.

I think people are happy that the board/ Aw have finally seen the light but also we can enjoy transfer deadline day for once.Quote:

Arsenal are preparing to shatter their transfer record by lodging a £25 million (€28m) bid to prise Yann M'Vila from Rennes on deadline day, Goal.com can reveal.
The France international is Arsene Wenger's principal target in the last hours of the window and the manager is increasingly confident he can deliver a signing that would be a huge statement of intent.
Arsenal have already had a £22m (€24.8m) offer for the midfield anchorman rejected but sources have told Goal.com they will make another concerted attempt to sign the 21-year-old.
Officials have been locked in negotiations with Rennes on Tuesday and the two clubs are getting closer to reaching an agreement.
Wenger himself was in France, although he will return to London to take training with the non internationals on Wednesday, after Arsenal were given two days off following their 8-2 humiliation at Manchester United.
Goal.com understands that M'Vila is the main priority for Arsenal after a whirlwind 24 hours in which they have completed the signing of South Korea captain Park Chu-Young for an initial £3m (€3.4m) fee and reached agreements to buy defensive duo Per Mertesacker and Andre Santos for a combined £14.1m (€16m).
The Germany centre-back and Brazil left-back both underwent medicals on Tuesday and are expected to finalise their moves shortly.
Wenger is still in the market for another experienced centre-back, although, as Goal.com revealed earlier on Tuesday, he has cooled his interest in Gary Cahill, Phil Jagielka and Scott Dann.
Arsenal have also made an enquiry for Fulham's Clint Dempsey but have not yet opened talks on a possible deal for the player valued at £10m (€11.2m by his club).
With the window due to shut by 11pm on Wednesday, sources regard defensive midfield and centre-back signings as more likely.
M'Vila is contracted to Rennes until 2015 but Arsenal believe there is a strong will on the player's behalf to follow what is a well trodden path from Ligue 1 to the Emirates Stadium.
The French club are believed to be holding out for £30m (€33.8m) but Arsenal are hopeful an agreement can be reached on a £25m (€28m deal).
Wenger has received excellent reports on the qualities of M'Vila and his ability to bring greater steel to a midfield that has been found sorely lacking in that department in their opening three Premier League fixtures of the season.

If M'Vila doesn't happen, cheeky 20m bid for Fellaini tbh.
Also there are some rumours on twitter that Dojo may be on his way out with Alex or someone else coming in.
Interesting times indeed.
I reckon tomorrow will definately yield M'vila and Martin and maybe a couple more surprises :good:
What an amazing 24 hours this could turn out to be!!!!
Its almost guaranteed that we're not gonna be dissapointed from the sounds of things tommorow.
Just hope things don't fuck up...
iTz_Renato Renato! :
Arsene Wenger has always had Eden Hazard at the top of his list and the Belgian forward has told Lille he wants to quit
I thought he said he wanted to stay? :wacko:

Concerns about pace are founded but if the defense/team plays as a unit then we can cover this, tbh one obvious minus is better than the multitude we have at the moment, Gay Lion was truely awful and Merts is a step up - good luck
we could still get Cahill and the initial bid was business move, pure and simple, Bolton will be left with a choice now that we have bid again as they run out of time, if they dont play ball its too bad, we have one defender and you can bet Cahill wants this move now, interesting day ahead. . .off to read the other posts
we have upgraded so far apart from the obvious two Cesc and NasQuote:

Speaking to Canal Plus tonight, the former defender defended the Arsenal manager and said he is ready to fight on.
Grimandi said:
"Arsène Wenger is a experienced man. He can endure the pressure on him. He's ready to fight."
He told the programme:
"Park is official, the others I don't know (smiling). Anyway, we were working before on all the files. Defeat against Manchester United has accelerated the move, but we were working a lot before that.
"There is no guarantee a player will start starter at any top teams today, so new players will have to fight to for their place.
"Our financial health can provide us to be effective in transfer market, but we cannot compete with clubs like City.
"The boss did very well to secure the club £24m for Nasri. It is one of the great financial move of Premier League.
"Each player who left Arsenal was at their top. But now, it's hard to compete and keep our promising players. But our club is financially secured for the next ten years."
a) Merts will probably be shocked at how high we play the fucking line (gotta change)
b) Young will be wondering why he isn't allowed to shoot anymore
c) Santos will be surprised that he has suddenly become the designated penalty taker
d) Wenger/Rice will be licking their lips at the chance fuck with another group of players.......
e) word has it more to come........Goooooooooooooooooooners
I don't know.....I thought something was strange on Sunday.......of course we were down but Wenger was very subdued throughout......his body language was one of resignation and I couldn't help thinking that even though circumstances dictated, it was was very much lambs to the slaughter.Quote:

What has happened is that we have now seemed to have been sprung into action......by the sounds of it we are not exactly replacing Cesc and Nas with one player but building a more rounded squad and one that may not be focused on one individual.......I don't believe Wenger is a stupid man, he makes mistakes and tactics are down to him, our high line and lone striker are things I would like to see change but that may be asking for a bit much. He may be very much on his last life and once this money is spent, results are going to be expected, I think we can deliver, we have two big games out the way, sadly 0 points from there but with the new players and Jack, Gervinho, Song to come back after the next game, I hope a better sense of determination and a desire to put things right. We may not be considered championship material but I for one hope that we go out to prove that point wrong.
The board is more shady than I ever imagined it was.......not too sure what to add to that but I believe a lot of politics have been playing a major part in our recent activities both on and off the pitch......the smell is quite disgusting and I hope they see that we are a football team matters first and foremost and without that there is no Arsenal......certainly no Arsenal plc
Lets hope that is the kick up the arse he so badly needs thenQuote:

Cahill as a defender is inferior to Kos and Per, but is a better organizer, wouldnt be a bad idea to get him.
@Flavs Bendtner will take it on his chin and move on thinking the clubs around don't know how good he is :-)
'The Editor:
Thanks to Adam for the tip-off that Arsenal are poised for a Deadline Day swoop for Keisuke Honda who he claims is in London for a medical. If you think Adam is on the money, give him the thumbs up in the Rumour Room. Follow me on Twitter through the day - @skysportswebed '
i wonder if Adam is a reliable source....
Hopefully not.
would rather have Vidal to be honestQuote:
