Southampton are selling him mid-season.
We'll get someone but God knows who.
We'll get Wenger until 2020.
we are 2nd in the league, in the CL first knockout phase and still in the FA Cup... why would we need to sign anyone. November is over, so we are allowed to win again. Plus with Rosicky, Wilshere, Sanchez, Coquelin, Welbeck, Arteta and Cazorla all coming back in the new year... they are like new signings in themselves. Plus they will be nicely refreshed from lack of match time.
We need a defensive midfielder but not Wanyama.
Carvalho, Bender or Kramer, that would do very nicely.
Wenger will say they were all more than two million, therefore too expensive.
We won't sign anyone.

Arsenal are continuing to check on Borussia Monchengladbach midfielder Granit Xhaka. Club staff watched him against Manchester City.
SighQuote:
GRANIT XHAKA has played down speculation linking him with a move to the Premier League, insisting he is happy at Borussia Monchengladbach.
Yes to Kramer, Carvalho or either Bender, or Rabiot
No to Wanyama, an inelegant brute. Soon as he comes to us, refs will start dishing him yellows like Skittles sweets.
No to Granit Xhaka, its a crap name
Yes to Bas Dost, what a brilliant name.
Yep agree with this.Quote:

Xhaka is quality. Much better than Carvalho, Wanyama or Kramer and more of the finished article than Rabiot. Would love him here. Bayern were sniffing around earlier so I don't think it'd be easy. We'd have to go in quick and wrap up the deal before anyone decides to get involved.
Btw Lars Bender has been incredibly injury prone. Has missed like a season worth of games the past two years due to various injuries ............. so that probably means he'l be the guy we opt for. :coffee:

Call it foolish hope but I really do get the feeling that Wenger wants the league and like how he kind of gave up on his principles to sign Arshavin to ensure we got fourth a few years ago, he'll do the same thing again this year.
Doesn't Wenger really want to the league every year though and if he doesn't then should be sacked. This Lars Bender sounds perfect though, injury prone enough as to not impede Coquelins development plus also a signing to appease people. Now if he was worth £2m or less then that would seal the deal.Quote:

Yeah. We haven't won a trophy for months :(
But hey, you were right about how bad our start was so I'm sure you're right this time too.
The problem with Wenger is that he relies too much on injured players coming back and being 'like new signings'. Right now he's probably thinking that we'll have Alexis, Wilshere, Coq, Santi and maybe even Welbeck back in the squad by the end of January, and that he'll have too many players to choose from even if we don't sign anyone new.
The reality is that most of them will have setbacks and loads of other players will join them on the injured list. It happens every year.
People throw around the 'like new signings' quote like he says it every week.
He said it once, when Rosicky had been out for 2 years.
Which makes it one of his unstated policies. He's track record of relying on long term crocks in unparalleled and unblemished.
What do you guys think about throwing in a cheeky bid for Cesc? The Chavs hate him and with our midfield options very limited, he could be a long term solution to Santi.
He made the choice to become a chav, there's no coming back from that. I never liked Gallas either.Quote:

He's burned out. Wenger knows that as well.
What do you think of Cech?Quote:

This like all our transfer threads are a waste of time, we won't sign anyone of note, you know it, I know it, Santa Claus and the Tooth Fairy know it, Wenger will be happy when he gets his crocks back, they'll be "like new signings".
Danny Welshit is out until February. We might as well rule him out for the season. Wilshere is out for another 6 weeks. Wenger may buy this year. It's just about the quality he'll bring in.
Both those players are a waste of space anyway we need to get rid, our transfer business is if there is any won't be of interest and won't make an ounce of difference (10 years of transfers can tell you that), in reality players will come back in January or be within 2 weeks of coming back so he won't want to sign anyone, then come February they'll get injured when someone blows on them and we'll be back to square one.
You forgot to state if you were for or against the idea.Quote:

LOOOOOOOOOOOOOL
Welbeck, another player pushing up the wage bill so he can keep the staff in the treatment room busy. Rosicky. Wilshere, Theo with his routine visits, Diaby as the benchmark they all have to measure themselves against. Most clubs have one of these types, but has any club had so many?

He's past it. His hamstrings and his enthusiasm for the game have gone. Wenger woz right.
The whole Welbeck situation is very weird.Quote:

Don't want to start some "Rosicky a drug addict" type conspiracy here but it wouldn't suprise me if there's more to it than a simple physical injury.
It's just our medical staff. Welshit doesn't strike me as the unprofessional type that would allow off field antics derail his football career.
As for Cesc Fabregas.....I'd have him back. If the little runt is responsible for that mutiny at Chelsea and getting José the sack, he needs a heroes welcome! :lol:
Fabregas is an absolute scumbag.
More importantly, he's almost as busted as Rooney.
Why do you think he's a scumbag?Quote:

The most important thing is that he's been on a rapid decline for a while now after looking like he would become one of the midfield greats early in his career. And Wenger was certainly right for not even entertaining the thought of bringing him back.
But I'm asking why you think he's a scumbag. Not anyone else. :lol: I think he's a scumbag too, by the way. :lol: But heck, had a debate on here once about not always having nice characters in the team.Quote:

Cesc isn't a long term solution because he never gives you a full season. He might be fit for the whole campaign but he goes off the boil about half to two thirds through.
The guy turned up for a few months when he came back to Chelsea and has got 3 assists since January, in approximately 30 games. Why would we want that sort of shit in our team? Ramsey/Coq is going to be our middle two once he's back.
No point having a cunt in the team who contributes nothing other than being a prick. On that basis we may as well bid for Costa as well then.
