Definitely on his way.
It's on!
Double swoop, Benzema and Trabelsi.
And remember, kids: if we sign him then he's massively over-rated and Wenger's an idiot; if we don't then we really needed a striker and Wenger's an idiot.
Whatever happens Wenger is an idiot - finally a sensible post from you.Quote:

We won't be signing this guy because Wenger is an idiot. But say we do. I can bet you Wenger will overpay for this overrated player. That's because Wenger is an idiot.
And Wenger will personally break his ankles like in that scene in Misery.Quote:

Stealing a living, tbh.
He's been anonymous on the pitch so far. I'm taking my Benzema 9 shirt back for a refund.
No refunds on printed shirts.
We'll exchange it for a Sanogo one.
Ah, he's bound to come to us, he's got a thigh injury.
Ballague says he's not coming.
Wenger says there's nothing in it.
I deduce it's well and truly on!
Hunter says it will happen if he hands in a transfer request.
I bet he already has done.
I saw that he wanted to stay in Spain apparently recently.Quote:

I think we can safely deduce; its on!
@mrjakehumphrey
A source who is rarely wrong tells me Arsenal are close to the signing that would make them genuine contenders. We shall see...
Who? :unsure:Quote:

I think he's being sincere and honest in reporting this though that doesn't necessarily mean that his source is correct.
I still have a hard time believing it's Benzema though for reasons already explained in the other thread .... i.e. Real not willing to sell him nor likely that Benzema would force a move currently. I think Reus or Draxler are more likely options for a "major signing" than Benzema tbh.
Jake Humphry is a decent presenter and rarely posts something just for the "likes" and although this Benzema thing is too good to be true, it would be a BEAST of a signing.Quote:

Jake Humprey's a clown. Doubt he knows anything. All this ITK shit is always useless. Ex-players like Wright wouldn't know anything either. Unless it's imminent - by which time David Ornstein has usually said something - you can't even say that there's anything going on with this.
But wouldn't put it past Real Madrid to do something mental in the final few days of the window.
Van Gaal has said they're not meeting De Gea's valuation. I can't imagine Real Madrid would go through an entire summer without adding at least one shiny new toy to their collection, so I wouldn't be surprised if later this month they decide to sell Benzema as they know we can put up the cash to fund it easily.
I don't expect us to sign Benzema but I don't think it's beyond all realms of doubt. Here's hoping!
I hear Adebayor doesn't want to leave London...Quote:

Plus Utd pay dross like shrek over 300K pw. So I can't see how we'd be even in the hunt if a player like Benzema became available.Quote:

Give him a mansion, an aircraft carrier and a pet giraffe, I don't fucking care what it takes, sign this man.
Whether it's Benzema or some other option, other than Kalou I stress, surely Wenger can see we lack little bit sharpness up top? Or maybe he doesn't. Maybe he's satisfied watching Bif staring up at the sky after yet another miss. Or Theo through on goal 55 times and managing to convert just the one.Quote:

Benzema is more likely to join United than us. Wenger seems pretty adamant that he will work on the internal solutions.
If it doesn't buy a striker and the season goes belly up then frankly it's on his head. He can't use money as an excuse anymore, he's been sitting on millions all summer.
Twitter ITKs saying Bayern and Man City are after him,
https://twitter.com/JeinnylizarazoQuote:
It's going to be a rough day 4 me...just confirmed to me Benzema wants to see all his options...Manchester City AND Bayern are now involved
After Wenger found out about Guardiola's call..he called and spoke to Benzema "in length" today about his importance to the club..
Big tit ITK :bow:
After Sunday I don't even care if we sign a striker or not. We aren't winning the league either way with Wenger in charge.
Wenger apparently telling Benzema how important he would be to AFC because of his quality but then not prepared to pay the asking price which is less than other shitty strikers ( Caroll & Torres ) have been sold for. Come on Arsene, join the real football world - football has moved on a bit from your penny pinching days.
