Should we be hijacking Liverpool's Benteke move?
Nah
I think he falls in to the lumbering oaf category too much for me.
There seems to be no serious indication we're signing anyone at all. Usually by this stage we have some sort of saga developing.
Van Persie joining Fenerbahce
Cunt!
Shove that medal up your fuckin arse
Fener? :haha:
Even Galatasaray preferred Poldi
The little boy inside him says "what the fuck are you thinking"?
reckon we should hijack the move.
And loan him out to Exeter.
I have no love for Exeter but they don't deserve that.
Vidal off to Real Manure according to Telegraph........would have loved that move to happen with us bringing him in
Still think we might pick up another signing once the serious clubs have finished their business.Quote:

There's definite a "Bale out" / "Bail out" joke in there somewhere. #noneedtothankme
You're quite rightQuote:

Barca have signed Arda Turan, even though he can't play until January. :wacko:
Bit of a pointless transfer ban really. I get they can't play until January but that's a pretty half arsed punishment considering they can still negotiate and cut deals, the practice that got them into trouble in the first place.
Corruption. :bow:
Have we signed anyone yet apart from Oliie, who is almost like a new poster after coming back from hibernation?
Looking increasingly unlikely that any further signings will be made, I think any transfers will be out of the club though apart from Ospina or Szczesny I don't really see any departures either.
4th place trophy...Its onQuote:

Our lives are ruined. No coming back from this. Don't see the point of anything any more. What is life? What am I doing here? Why is Wenger doing this to us?
Pure hilarity
I don't personally see why we would struggle for top four, but it would be nice to know when we pay the highest ticket prices in Europe that our board and manager was seriously interested in winning the title. Petr Cech is a fantastic squad addition but we cannot pin all our hopes on him to make up the points deficit, nor can we rely on giroud to get us the goals to get us the title.
No it won't be a catastrophe if we sign neither a defensive midfielder or a striker, but it will definitely be an opportunity missed.
even if we don't sign anyone else, we have improved and I cant see us falling below 4th. It is just nice that we make one or two more additions to really try and push Chelsea this season.
Arteta signed a year long deal today, so we're keeping him and that's not a bad thing at all.
We should have signed Vidal, not because we desperately need him to finish top 4, but because we probably won't get another crack at him and he'd have moved us on a lot by finally filling that long lost Vieira role. Some could view it as a luxury (Wenger for example) but if we really want to challenge for the top (and then challenge again the following season) we needs the best players available. The Alexis connection, Chile coming of the back of a Copa win. This is the sort of intangible momentum Wenger doesn't really trade in. Unsurprising we haven't even hinted at chasing a signature but disappointing.
Media are saying we're looking at Pedro. Can that be true? Why would we be interested?
The perennial Wenger inadequacy bug bites again. Always almost there. goalkeeping isnt the main reason why we fell short last year or flunked out of the CL last 16 (again).
Cech most likely wont prevent it happening again. I am not so miffed at the striker inadequacy. It was a sure thing that Wenger wont sell Giroud or risk the bad blood of having him and Benzema in the first team. But the DM position needs buttressing. I hope Wenger has some surprise up his sleeve. Otherwise......Woe is me!
I normally agree with you about football NQ, but keeping Arteta is not something I agree on. He is not and never has been a defensive midfielder but has had to fill that role because Wenger refuses to spend money to fill that position (like many positions) and for the position he does occupy naturally he is surplus to requirements.
If Bayern are making Muller available. We should be all over that. Goalgetter supreme, just like his namesake, Ugly goals but valuable goals.
Is it? On what basis?Quote:

Newcastle and Crystal Palace have not signed anyone yet.
There is time yet but its a very slow start.
We need 3 more in the right positions (CD,DM and striker)but I very much doubt that will happen.
Based on the fact that we aren't being linked with anyone and that Arteta has signed a new deal ruling out a new midfielderQuote:

The Telegraph have us linked with Gotze. :lol:
Not really needed but still, sign him up tbf.
I think it's a good thing we are keeping Arteta not as cover for the DM slot (although he could fill it in an emergency) but because he's a solid pro, club captain, can still perform at the top level and he's an experience and capable squad player. Not a first team player any longer, for sure, but there's a lot of dross out there inferior to Arteta walking around with silly £30mill price tags attached. A one year deal is just about right.Quote:

Very infrequently....it's the kind of lull we saw between August and September last year and we signed a striker to replace Giroud.Quote:
