Park Ji Sung off to QPR.
I'm sure he'll still be getting +1's against us.
This is all it is now, just endless streams of players on continual season long loans. Randall had about 5, sure Lansbury will get another. I bet if you check the records, Cliff Bastin is still technically on the payroll and out on a lifetime & post lifetime loan.Quote:

Good player for United over the years, we could do with players of his sort of attitude on the bench, not starters but guaranteed to give a good performance when called upon. QPR quietly improving their squad with this and the Rafael buy.Quote:

BLACKBURN boss Steve Kean admits he is planning for next season without Junior Hoilett.
The Canadian winger’s contract ended at the end of last month and the 22-year-old has stalled on signing a new deal following Rovers’ relegation.
Arsenal, Tottenham, Sunderland, Bayern Munich and Borussia Monchengladbach all fancy Hoilett.
And Kean, who has signed Leon Best, Nuno Gomes and Danny Murphy, said: “We put an offer in front of him that never got signed so we have to plan without him.”
:lol:
No thanks
almunia gone.
vela apparently very close to going spain, to be confirmed next week apparently.
bendtner to spain/germany will be confirmed soon apparently.
denilson gone for another season.
just need to get rid of squillaci and arshavin, both of which will probably get a transfer towards the end of the window.
we wanted a clearout and we are getting one. its just a shame our world class striker is in that list.

What are we doing? I'm growing somewhat impatient with Gazidis inability to close a deal..Hazard and Mata in particular

Arsenal are taking highly-rated Caen striker M’Baye Niang on trial, according to French daily Ouest-France.
The 17-year-old has been tracked by some of the biggest clubs in Europe, who have been impressed with the progress he has made since breaking into Caen’s first team last year.
Niang has been on the radar for many sides long before bursting through to the northern France team’s senior ranks however, with his performances and goalscoring feats from the age of 13 attracting much attention from Lille and Paris Saint-Germain, amongst others.
It is at Caen though that the 17-year-old has developed and is now making his mark, though the Ligue 2 outfit accept that keeping hold of such a prodigious talent will be difficult.
And that task has been made all the harder by the club’s relegation from the French top flight last season, a fate that even Niang, who clocked up 23 appearances in Ligue 1, could not stop befalling the side.
Niang is now set to head to London and train with Arsenal in an effort to convince the Gunners that he is every bit as talented as has been mooted.
Should the France Under-21 international impress under the watchful eye of Arsene Wenger, negotiations with Caen could begin in earnest.
Niang is under contract with Caen until 2014 and scored twice in Ligue 1 last season.

Rennes midfielder Tongo Doumbia has confirmed that he is in talks with an unnamed Premier League club over a summer switch.
And the Mali international now looks set to complete his dream move to the Premier League.
"Yes, there are discussions." Doumbia told Le 10 Sport.
"My agent is taking care of that - it is nice but a transfer requires all parties agreeing to it and now we are talking with Rennes .
"And this is not that I don't want to play with Rennes but this is the Premier League, it is a league that really attracts me. I think I have a playing style suited to the Premier League,"
Doumbia, who has two years remaining on his current deal at Rennes, also hinted that the move could be finalised in the near future.
He added: "I am due to resume training on Monday, but I hope everything will be fixed shortly."
Doumbia did not name the club in question but, according to RMC Sport, he may have been referring to either the Toffees or Villa - the radio station claims that one of the two have submitted a €2.5 million (£2.5m) offer and that Arsenal are also monitoring the situation.
Please dont be us :pray:

http://www.express.co.uk/football/vi...bin-van-PersieQuote:
ARSENAL and Tottenham are set to launch big-money transfer raids as they prepare for life without two of their biggest stars.
With Paris St-Germain, Juventus, Manchester City and Barcelona queueing up to pay up to £25million for the unsettled Robin van Persie, manager Arsene Wenger last night prepared to answer his critics with moves to replace him.
And as Real Madrid moved closer to the capture of Luka Modric, Spurs new boss Andre Villas-Boas has already earmarked where some of the £28m he is expected to get for the Croatian playmaker will go.
Wenger is understood to have Fiorentina striker Stevan Jovetic as his No.1 target, but he faces competition from Chelsea for a player who is also valued at around £25m.
Borussia Dortmund’s Polish ace, Robert Lewandowski, 23, is believed to be next on the list.
AVB, who would appear to have eased some of the pain of losing Modric with the £6m signing of Gylfi Sigurdsson, has also set his sights on a new striker.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger and owner Stan Kroenke are smarting over the criticism of the way they run the club in the wake of Robin van Persie’s decision to quit the Gunners. And they are likely to answer that within the next few days
Spurs have already had a £12m bid for Internacional’s Leandro Damiao knocked back. But after completing the signing of Diego Forlan from Inter Milan yesterday as a potential replacement, the Brazilians seem to have cleared the way for the 22-year-old to move to White Hart Lane.
And the new boss, with money to spend and boardroom ambitions to match, isn’t likely to stop there.
A new goalkeeper is believed to be high on his priorities with Lille’s Hugo Lloris and Birmingham’s highly rated Jack Butland topping the list of targets.
But it is at Arsenal where the impetus looks likely to gather pace this week.
Wenger and owner Stan Kroenke are smarting over the criticism of the way they run the club in the wake of Van Persie’s decision to quit. And they are likely to answer that within the next few days.
The manager has had reservations about Van Persie’s long-term fitness and is believed to have told his board not to bust a gut to keep him if a realistic offer came along, even before the Dutchman went public with his doubts about club policy.
As a result, despite forking out more than £20m to sign Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud, Arsenal will spend again on another striker if they have to – and they have at least two to offer in part exchange as well if need be.
Neither Marouane Chamakh or Nicklas Bendtner are in the manager’s plans anymore and could both be used in player-plus-cash deals.
They're going to have to be very active to gain ground and turn 1 step forward and 2 steps back into 2 steps forward and 1 step back.Quote:

Reading the stoey below, that may not be as far fetched as it sounds. . .although it may mean we pay than 25mil as we will have to pay them to take Chamakh tooQuote:

Some #decent hit-and-hope bargains available for clubs that want to chance their arm.
Chamakh - £4m
Vela - £3m
Bendtner - £5m
Van Persie - £12m
Arshavin - £5m

Advantageous :good:
And is it my imagination or is Wenget being uncharacteristically vocal about transfers this season? Usually it's all "When I know something I let you know" and "the priority is to keep what we have" and "We are not close to anybody".
Think you're right. Arseblog mentions something similar this morning about Giroud - Wenger saying the deal was pretty much done, and Podolski as well.Quote:

if its anything over 5mil sell him
Hang on who was that nutter there that got in a fight with the manager? perhaps the offer is a swap for Chamakh, which would be advantageous to us as we get rid of Chamakh and get a player in his place
On Walcott, I struggle to see where he could go that would pay him the 100k or whatever. He'd obviously want to go to City, Utd or Chelsea but I really can't see them wanting him. Of the rest I reckon only Liverpool can afford those wages, (Spurs couldn't) and it's by no means a given that either party is interested in the other.Quote:

I'd say the advantageous part is that we have a clause that devoids us of any accountability once Foirentina release they have been sold a dudQuote:
