Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[Syn]

It's so weird how - with some other clubs in Europe - it's very easy for players to be so open about joining other clubs. Think about Hazard at Lille or Kagawa's teammates here; their fans almost accept that that's the way it is. Although Podolski seemed to be less keen to reveal that he was moving to us at the end of the season.

Anyway - this Kagawa guy - he's supposed to be the mutt's nuts. I can think of quite a few clubs that would be interested in signing a goalscoring attacking-mid so, like M'Vila, we'll be priced out. £10-12m is our limit. This guy will go for a lot more considering the hype around him.

yes and no. sometimes a club means more to someone then money, wenger has good japanese links so that helps us here and he seems to have a good relationship with dortmund and klopp so that could work in our favour that htey allow a shit offer to be accepted.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

true i think so too but why would they say wengers name? so out of the blue that means surely there is something there. no smoke without fire etc.

in another on pitch interview, apparently klopp whsipered to him when asked about his futre something like "shame wenger not watching tonight"

from these two interview/quotes and the way kagawa reacted to wengers name in the video above i wouldnt be surprised if we got him. we stole ramsay from under uniteds nose. lets do it again

Where does he say Ask Wenger its in German can't hear that at all.

And neither do clubs, if the money is right.

Kagawa is reportedly available for that much because he's out of contract next year, plus he doesn't have the same profile as other attacking midfielders out there at the moment, so he'd be a wise purchase for a club like us who go after value for money signings.

Brilliant tekkers from what I remember seeing from Dortmund in the CL group stage. Looks like an Arsenal player already.

Must admit although the commentators rated Kagawa when they played us wasn't really impressed, would be more interested in that German maestro that played.

I get the impression we'll be trying to do a lot more selling than buying this summer. We've really got a lot of dross to get rid of, the problem we're going to have is takers IMHO.

If we don't sign Bastian Schweinsteiger this time around I'll eat my own shit again.
