Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

Chivu has been in awful form last few months. Hes on his way down now. So we'll probably get him

We aren't going to buy anyone who would be a first team shoe in, it would cost way too much money for that and we aren't that kind of club. The only thing i can see happening is that Arshavin goes and we maybe buy someone to replace him but i have a feeling that Wenger see's the Ox as that player. And to be fair, he contributes about as much as the Russian does at the moment, nothing.

Back up CB - Mert and Verm are fine. The back ups arent. Cahill is a must get here

First choice LB - Santos cant defend although good going forward. Gibbs is dead. Need someone who can attack and defend. Jose Enrique anyone? Wenger :doh:

DMs - Happy enough with Song and Coq for now and should he be needed and lets hope hes not then Frimpong as crap as he is is an adequate 3rd choice DM as all he'll do is go round fouling people ala Essien, Savage and others of that ilk.

CMs/AMs - Goetze and Hazard are better than anyone we have in these positions

Striker - Im not one whos too concerned for when RVP is injured for months later in the season. Last time that happened, Chamakh came in and did very well with a run in the team. Not so good when hes hardly played and then put in though. Could do with a striker but not a priority.

So by that reckoning, that 6 players needed, most only as back up. Could be 7 if we get a striker but as i said, its not that big a deal

But what about Kos and Jenkinson and Gervinho and Chamakh is shit. Oh.

just want gotze in january tbh. we do that weve got a punchers chance in the champions league (he wouldnt be cup-tied would he?)

harzard is overrated.

If Borussia Dortmund go out in the group stages then I think he might be available.

Arsenal target Esteban Granero will be allowed to leave Real Madrid in January after a showdown meeting with boss Jose Mourinho.

A Real insider said: "If we receive a good offer it will be studied."

That leaves the way open for the Gunners to land the £6million-rated former Spanish Under-21 star.

Grenero, 24, has largely been a fringe player since Mourinho took charge, appearing just 17 times last season.

But Arsenal boss Wenger has long been a fan and believes the midfielder can help take some of the creative burden off Mikel Arteta and Aaron Ramsey.

phew!
i think we're going to miss gervinho. he's been lively.

If RvP gets long term injured we will have to buy a striker in January.
