Werder Bremen defender Per Mertesacker has turned down a possible move to Arsenal by saying that he wants to stay in Germany this summer.
Mertesacker, 26, has just one year left on his current deal and has been on Arsene Wenger's radar for several summers. The giant Germany international is seen by many to be the solution to Arsenal's defensive woes but, despite talks on a new contract for the defender stalling, Mertesacker insists that he is not ready to leave the Bundesliga yet.
"I am a player of Werder Bremen and I like playing in the green-white of the club,'' he told Sportinformationsdienst. ''I love being skipper of the club and I proceed on the assumption that I will at least see out the campaign in the colours of Werder Bremen."
Even though they are in the midst of an injury crisis, reports suggest Wenger is looking to move on defender Sebastian Squillaci, who has not played for the Gunners this season, which will open up a space for a new arrival.
Hope Squillaci gtfos.
Also WTF's happened to Almunia?
Thank fuck we're not getting Mertersacker, the guy's shit.
We sent him to the glue factory. If we are getting rid of Squillachi anyway why not just keep Bartley here?Quote:

Our lack of challenging for silverware in recent seasons is coming back to bite us in the arse. It's all well and good being financially prudent, but players don't examine the balance sheet when deciding whether to join a club, they look at the ambition of the club and whether they can win trophies. Of course the wage is very important for them, but let's not delude ourselves into thinking that our rigid wage structure (which I don't agree with and believe should be more flexible) is the only factor influencing players not joining us and players wanting to leave us. We can all believe the convenient lie that Nascunt was purely motivated by money. Yes, money was a factor and he is a greedy cunt, but the fact is City are much more likely to win trophies than us, and that is a strong selling point in their favour.
Totally agree - wenger needs to become a free market fundamentalist.Quote:

Players will not come unless the chance to play in the CL is real, diesnt matter about Europe cos we will be in the Europa Cup, it s the lights of the CL that attracts
Qualify and we could see a different set of players at Utd, fail and we could be staring down the barrel of a gun, having shot ourselves already in the foot by finishing the season last year like a bunch of chumps.
If we are lucky Parker, Bellemy and perhaps Jags could join but none of the touted Euro talent
God this transfer window has been so utterly depressing
