Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

Whilst its good we are being linked with CBs, CMs and a few strikers, its a bit worrying that we dont seem to be after a keeper.

Its all smoke and mirrors sunshine, Wenger barely ever reveals who he wants until they are signed. As i said in another thread i thin k come July 1st a load will go in already agreed moves and 2 or 3 will come in that have already been signed and none will be who we expect

I'd like Samba here but I worry that he will catch Wengeritis and become just another chump we have at the back. Although I'm hoping that because he has been around long enough now in this league he will be immune to catching the deadly disease.

Still need a striker tbh. I imagine Gervinho will spend most of his time out wide.

Dont tell anyone, but he is actually a left winger (shhhh)

There is no cure for it im afraid.

Samba also scores a decent amout of goals too from corners as well.

Kos wasn't too bad at that last yeat tbh

Let's hope Fabregas is not taking them then......

Obvioulsy i meant headers, and you know this man

I think MS knew that......he"s hoping that Cesc isn't the one taking the corners as if he is then Samba has no hope of scoring a goal

back me up here MS

I think the Samba fan club are setting themselves up for great disappointment.

Yup, I don't think he's the answer, but he's an upgrade on JD, Kos & Squillaci, so that's a start.

The problem we have in Central Defence is that Arsene has bought so much junk over the years that literally anything will do.

A few posts up, I clarified what I meant.

Koscielny only scored three last season, but misssed about ten sitters too.

Vermaelen is back, so we should have a good threat from corners.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I think you missed the point

whats the point mate

I meant let's hope Fabregas is not taking the corners, as:

a) he's shit at them

b) hopefully he's fecked off to Barca in a £60m deal.

Them i apologise

[Cripps_orig]

Daily Mail reports that we have to pay £12m for Samba.

We offered £10m but apparently Blackburn have to pay Sambas former club 15% of any fee they get so holding out for more
