Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

Parker's age is a concern, but quality wise he's IMO much better than turds like Denilson, Diaby and even Song (who's quite a good player but a bit limited)
I don't know why other teams aren't after him, but there's no parallel between his situation and players like Denilson and Bendtner. The latter two have been publically rejected by clubs who have no interest in taking them on, while with Parker, it's probable that teams are after him, given his excellent performances last season, and their interest is probably being kept under wraps to prevent a bidding war.

Interesting that because Parker is so superior to anything at Arsenal, any transfer enquiries are "secret". Amazing that enquiries regarding players like Nasri, Clichy, Downing, etc. are plastered across the back pages. I would posit that you are "hoping" that the Parker enquiries are secret in order to substantiate your position that he is the right player for Arsenal.

No one said Parker is superior but he offers different qualities that others dont have. Denilson is utter shit now, Diaby has no discipline to defend his area, Song is too slow etc.

Just saw on BBC something bout Downing, us and 20 mil

Downing had his best season for Villa last year, and although not as bad as I first thought, surely 20 mil would get Lille to considet selling Hazard?

Please no, not for that amount of money.

Parker has the right attitude and we have enough talent in the team and not enough 'heart', we really should give it a bash if he's available for anything under 8m imo.

Also, the self-destruction of reams of Arsenal fans on the basis of a fair sized scoop of bullshit along with almost childish impatience is pretty fricking funny.

Both A Bola and Record in Portugal saying Benfica have opened negotiations over Nicklas Bendtner.

Looks to be some substance to the Bendtner-Benfica reports. Both outlets saying he'll replace Kiev bound Óscar Cardozo.

@DarrenArsenal1 Looks like Inter Milan and #Arsenal have both had bids agreed with Velez for Alvarez. Looks like he will decide this week where he is going

I posted about that 24 hours ago. So much for Twitter being quick

Twitter

Although I'm sure Darren has a legitimate excuse. His parents prob took him out for the day or something

Like I've said countless times, most shit on twitter comes from the news, the times it doesn't, it becomes the news. Current reports suggest that it's all but a done deal that he's off to Milan.

Let's hope so.
