The way he played at the Nou Camp was horrendous, just showed how Wenger/our board accepted signing shit players like him, and the fact Fergie even sold him to us was funny.Quote:

Liverpool are set to make a £5m move for Fulham striker Clint Dempsey, reports talkSPORT.
The American has just 12 months left on his current deal with sources close to the club telling talkSPORT they are bracing themselves for a bid from the Reds.
The 29 year old impressed with 23 goals for the Cottagers last campaign and was linked with a move across London to Arsenal back in January.
=====
Only £5m is suprising, he does only have one year left, but I think he'll end up going for £10m or so
Never said there was broQuote:

Arsene Wenger has demonstrated Arsenal still have plenty of ambition by making an offer of £9m to sign goalscoring midfielder Paulinho, 23, from Brazilian club Corinthians.

Profits. :bow:
I'm going to miss his chips. Santos too probably.

Sounds like our kind of deal.Quote:
Sky Sports understands that both Arsenal and Liverpool have expressed an interest in Belgian star Kevin Mirallas.
The 24-year-old has been in sensational form with Olympiakos since joining two years ago from St Etienne.
He has scored 34 league goals in 49 starts, and his form has caught the eye of a number of clubs from around Europe.
Now it seems he could be set for a switch to England, with both Arsenal and Liverpool showing an interest.
Mirallas has a buy-out clause of just €8.25million (£6.4million) and there is little doubt this has made him a hugely attractive proposition.
It is believed both clubs could now hold talks with his agents, with Olympiakos prepared to let interested parties discuss terms due to his buy-out clause.
Never heard of him though.

anyone else think that's quite odd? deal not struck yet but the club have announced negotiations are under way
publicly making room for someone else who we are in talks with perhaps?Quote:

Meet Jose Paulo Bezerra Maciel Junior, the man who goes by the name 'Paulinho' (presumably for the good of shirt sales).
The 23-year-old Corinthians midfielder has attracted a £9m bid from Arsene Wenger this week and besides being a dead ringer for Nobby Solano, here's why Arsenal's prudent boss is prepared to spend a fair whack on his signature.
Name: Paulinho
Date of birth: 25 July 1988
Birthplace: Sao Paulo, Brazil
Position: Central midfield
Club: Sao Paulo
International appearances: One senior Brazil cap
Honours: Brazilian Premier League title (2011) Copa Libertadores (2012)
What's the latest?
Corinthians president Mario Gobbi insists both Paulinho and midfield partner Ralf will remain at the club this summer but may have to cave in if Arsenal or Inter improve slightly on Wenger's £9m opening bid.
Did You Know?
1) Paulinho began his senior career at CA Juventus of Brazil, where he was loaned out to Lithuanian side FC Vilinus and later to LKS Lodz in Poland. In Europe, he was subjected to racist abuse directed mainly by rival fans, and opted to abandon dreams of a move to one of Europe's top clubs in favour of returning to Pao de Acucar in Brazil, where he spent his youth days. A year later, he moved to second tier side Bragantino, scoring six goals in his first 28 senior games in Brazilian football. It was enough for giants Corinthians to swoop for his signature.
2) Paulinho has scored 21 goals in 122 games for Corinthians from a central midfield position. He's made 22 of those appearances from the bench and has impressed at the top level of Brazilian football, making a name for himself for clever runs into the penalty box where close control, quick feet and equally lethal finishing on the ground or in the air have made him hot property.
3) Paulinho's only international appearance for Brazil to date came in 0-0 friendly against Argentina in September 2011, when he played 87 minutes and looked comfortable alongside defensive midfielder and Corinthians team-mate, Ralf. Paulinho made some promising attacking surges, linking up well with Ronaldinho when the former Barcelona man dropped a little deeper.
4) The Arsenal target was named in the Brazilian top flight's team of the year alongside Neymar, Ronaldinho and Fred after scoring 11 goals in 56 games in all competitions for Corinthians, helping them seal their first ever Copa Libertadores title following a two leg triumph over Boca Juniors.
5) Any potential transfer could be complicated by Paulinho's former club Pao de Acucar, however, as they still own 45 per cent of his economic rights, and would need to find common ground with Corinthians for a deal to go through.
He says
"Wherever I go, I will nevertheless win. It's not a money issue, I just want to play football." July 2012
They say
"Paulinho and Ralf will stay at Corinthians... those players who raise their levels, they will get their salary raised to a new level." July 2012, Corinthians president, Mario Gobbi
Corinthians director Roberto Andrade later descirbed Arsenal's offer for the midfielder as "very good" suggesting a deal could yet be agreed.

Robin van Persie is set for formal talks with Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger as he considers his options away from the Gunners. The Netherlands striker, 28, is interested in joining Juventus or Manchester United.
Full story: Daily Telegraph
Arsenal have still not opened contract talks with Theo Walcott despite the prospect of the England winger leaving as a free agent next summer.
Full story: Guardian
Arsenal :doh:
WTF this could be the biggest summer in the clubs history. . .
Vela gone
RvP going
Walcott not staying
Pods Giourd in
Niang kid
Paulinho whatever bid put in
And many more ins and outs to come. . .may be hard to recognise the team! Apart from Song who can play there
There is a account on twitter, an official one called sport_trend and they have posted some interesting things in the last 20 mins.
1. Club have said Walcott will not be sold and they will make an improved wage offer.
2. Juventus have made a bid of 20m euros for RVP, which will be key to reports that we will have an answer by the weekend.
3. We are the first club to make an official bid for Dempsey to fulham, we have offered £7m as of 8.22pm last night.
'walcotts new contract will be subject to a certain yearly % increment (also performance related) over next 2 years'
Caen reject our bid for niang.
should also have a match by match decreasing percentage for running up blind alleys as well. tis only fair
1. Non plussed if he stays or goes - xant hide from thr fact that he put up decent numbers last year but those numbers could have been far better if he found consistency. I do not believe in him as a winger, has little to no ability at beatomg his man or crossing the ball. A better wage offer should come laden with performance related incentives and not just a gimme like we have been prone to throwing at people in the past. If he doesnt except, he can piss off and we stick Miyachi out wide.Quote:

Fenway Sports Group website claims Dempsey has joined Liverpool.
