Arsenal defender Johan Djourou has signed for Hamburg on a season-long loan deal.
The 26-year-old started just two games in the Capital One Cup for Arsene Wenger's side last term before being sent out on loan to Hannover in January.
After making 16 appearances, the Bundesliga club were keen to make the defender's move permanent but the Switzerland international has instead opted to join divisional rivals Hamburg, who have an option to buy Djourou at the end of next season.
"I'm very happy now that everything is sorted. HSV are a big club, with a lot of quality and great fans," the centre-back told the German club's official website.
"I am convinced that this is the right step for my career.
"In London I would have earned much more money but that has not been decisive. I want to play as much as possible and develop myself and I see in Hamburg the optimum requirements."
Hamburg's director of sport, Oliver Kreuzer, added: "Johan was a priority as the defence is a very important part of our team. He has leadership qualities but is also fast, good in the air and very good on the ball."
"In London I would have earned much more money but that has not been decisive. I want to play as much as possible and develop myself and I see in Hamburg the optimum requirements."
Somethings seems off here, if its on loan, doesnt he get paid the same? :s And if he agreed to make less in HSV, why not just let him go or sell him cheap?? im confussed
Even if nothing else happens bar this, July will have been a success...

Danish striker Nicklas Bendtner could finally end his long stay at Arsenal this week, with Eintracht Frankfurt ready to sign the 25-year-old.
He's got another 2 years to run on his deal thanks to an extension we gave him last year (:doh:), so it's cheaper for Hamburg this way.Quote:

Think we only want to add one top forward and a top class DM, with maybe a couple of extra squad fillers. And I have a feeling our first choice is Rooney with the way the Higuain situation is panning out. Rooney's having 'crunch talks' with Man Utd. If there's a hope in hell Man Utd will sell to us (and they'd surely rather that than Chelsea or Man City) we'll give it a go.
Seems that the club's first choice signings are Rooney and Bender. Second choice are Higuain and Fellaini. If we were only to get two, I'd prefer Higuain and Bender.
Same, bruv. Same.Quote:

Any 2 of those 4 names Sin mentioned would be fine by me.
Kolo's gone to Liverhoof then?
Woo?Quote:

Typical Wumger bid just like our bid for Goetze last summer and just like our bid for Rooney this summer.
Skysports understands that Chelsea have moved for cavani. FFP rules on vacation, along with gazidis.

If we don't go for Higuain and Fellaini then I can't see us making any signings that will upgrade the team.
PSG have now supposedly bid £50mQuote:

There is nothing in the Rooney thing, there never has and there never will be.....when we baulk at playing anyone 100k a week why would we sign Rooney who is currently on about 250k a week at United. Wenger likes the player (although i don't really know why) and because of a comment he made in May we are forever linked with him....he will stay with United because Chelsea aren't stupid enough to buy him.
From what i can tell, the Higuain hold up is happening because we are trying to get him for the lowest possible price....i'm sure we can afford to pay 25million but we'd rather pay closer to the 19million we have already offered for him....but frankly it's rather pointless because in this climate a decent side (like say Man City who need a striker) could decide just to stump up Real Madrid's asking price and blow us out of the water.
I also get the impression Real Madrid are looking to buy before they sell so they may sign up Steven Jovetic before they agree to sell Higuain to us.
Same with Fellaini, we are trying to get them to lower the 23million asking price (which is ridiculous as that's his minium release fee clause and they'd have no choice but to agree to let him speak to us) and presumably his representative has told us he wants his client on 100k a week (which again i don't think particurlarly outrageous but our board and our transfer negotiation team seem out of step with reality)
As for Djourou it's abundantly clear why he's been signed on loan, a player with over two years left on his contract won't and doesn't need to accept a permenant contract from Hamburg when his parent club can still pay his current wage.
Still though just with Denilson, Squillaci and Arshavin we cleared almost 10million a year off the wage bill so i don't really understand why we are being so tight fisted.....if the board really were as greedy as we all seem to think they are it would make more sense to bring the players in and get revenues from marketing.
It's all ridiculous. We will walk away from buying a quality player for the sake of 2m but will gladly pay average players 2m more per year than they ever deserve. Every additional position in the premier league table is worth more than 2m alone.

Time for Barry to come home.
And Maccy to combust.
Barry. :haha:
Surely this has to be the most horrific piece of journalism ever.
Wait until it's filtered through Goal.com to ensure this statement is irrefutable.Quote:

This kills our transfer window no matter what else happens. This was the one we absolutely had to get done. Bendtner, he's like an incurable pox.Quote:

You'd think they couldn't insult the fans any more than they have already done over the last few years. But Gareth Barry? Just imagine we really did have money to spend and we spent it on that useless bastard. Ultimate WUM?
