Winter Transfer Speculation and Shit.

Tbf who can we sign in this window that will significantly improve us? I'm not sure what some fans are expecting.

Man U are crying out for players and they're having to pay £40m for a Chelsea bench warmer. Ok, he's a great player but it's still a lot of money. It shows that with all of their scouts they're finding it hard to get clubs to sell their top players. I'm not sure what Chelsea are playing at by selling Mata but that's another story.

Bottom line is you either pay through the nose for a top player or you wont be able to sign them in January.

I still think we'll sign a striker on loan or someone cheap like Berbatov although if we were going to by Berbatov we'd of probably done it by now.

Chelsea announce signing of Salah. Oh look, Chelsea come in and purchase a player looking likely to join one near them in the table (Liverpool in this case).

Hate them so much.

Just sign this guy and play him against the dross of the league. How many players could do this?

If RAWK is to be believed, it sounds like we came from the Arsenal school of negotiations.

"We want £10m for him"
"How about £50?
"£10m."
"£51?"

I don't know enough about him to panic or not. It's not like well see him for a while anyway.

Even if top strikers were available in january he would make an excuse not to go for them.We arent buying anyone full stop we have already spent our budget for the season.Ozil was a one off.

Why's that?

Not only that, it stops Salah beating them next time they play Basel. 94% of his goals seem to come against them.

That's the next step: stockpile players who have the temerity to score against you.

Theo :wave:. Will he be bought by Chelsea or Citeh though?

I think you've probably chastened yourselves too much over the Carroll debacle so you're going to be haggle masters from now on too.

Yeah, that will really stop them buying.

They've already ruined Marin and Schurrle's careers. What's two more in the noble cause of thwarting rival clubs?

Just read Wenger's comments about how he might not sign anyone on SkySports

Wouldn't mind just Berbatov really. We do need a striker though.

He says that every window tbh.

Keeping his cards close to his chest.

I wish he'd play this sort of thing close to his chest. I think he's right but Arsene will look a fool to say such things when he sold RVP to Man Utd.

As long as there is a transfer window half way through the season then situations like this can always come up.

I would personally get rid of this transfer window. Clubs should get their shit done in the summer and be made to live and die by that.

Yeah. We don't mind paying if we really think they're worth it [Sakho and Allen for example] though we even haggled, and nearly lost out, on Suarez too.

We're definitely looking after the pennies, which is a nice thing after the Kenny/Comolli era and to some extent, Rafa. But at some point we have to say that the prospect of CL is a greater reward than a million here and there. Especially when our fall backs of loans have been, to a man, dire. I think we have to accept that we are going to ripped off at times; not every transfer is going to be a bargain.

I don't actually agree with the above about January though. All I can see happening there is teams panic buy and take even bigger gambles in the summer because they know that is all for the year, even more than they do now. I'd prefer both transfer windows done away with, but that isn't going to happen.

:d

I have mentally prepared for the fact we probably won't bring anyone in. Interestingly Suarez's new contract is reported to have a 70 million pound clause in it which I don't think is totally at odds with the idea that we could have signed him at 50 million last summer.

Haven't been too impressed with Ozil recently, but he's doing pretty good so far overall in terms of his stats of assists/goals/chances.

Those would be higher if he had better opportunities in front of him really.

When Lewandowski signed his contract or whatever at Bayern, there were stories about Mandzukic being on the market. Now, obviously that isn't going to happen this window because Lewandowski doesn't start there until the summer, so Mandzukic still has a spot. But what about when Lewandowski does arrive? I don't really know enough German football to gauge whether Lewandowski's arrival will make Mandzukic surplus to requirements and thus available. I'm assuming that Lewandowski won't have signed anything without assurances that they saw him as their first choice striker.

I'd prefer the old system where you can buy whenever you want.

Not too keen on Mandzukic, don't think he's what we need.

'BREAKING: Arsenal has agreed a fee with Schalke for the transfer of Draxler. Personal terms are being discussed currently. [TuttoMercato]'

This is doing the rounds just now

I don't really get the criticism of Mourinho to be honest, he can do whatever the hell he likes Mata is his player and if he doesn't want him and is happy to sell him to Man U what's the problem.

His priority is Chelsea, he doesn't owe any other club sh*t. The team he has is clearly not the one he wants, so he's sold a player surplus to requirements to bring in players he does want, Mata wasn't playing so having him was a waste of a squad place.

Knew he was trying to get him this window.

It was obvious today when Gary cotterill questioned him.

"Is Julian draxler a player you still admire?"

Arsene: "Nooo"

"Shall I quit while I'm loosing?"

Arsene: (laughs) "maybe"

:lol: Master WUM. No one can match him.

Deal will be done tomorrow morning. Fee is Euro42mill, 5 year contract £120K pw. Injury is not as serious as thought, could be fit for FA Cup tie vs Coventry.
