Momo Fayed will not be screwed over by Liverpool

They only want £7m from other teams .

Anyone hear Gary Cotterill outside c*** lodge earlier? He was talking solemnly about Crooknapp and how he always used to keep them updated, whereas AVB hasn't said a word to them.

The busiest I've ever seen Everton in the transfer market I think....good on them esp getting Pienaar back. Mirallas looks like a more than decent signing for them too. Offload Rodwell and they are buying 3 players with that money!

SSN has no reporter at the Emirates ?

The thing is, IF everyone is fit then our first team is quite decent tbh (Chesney, Sagna, Vermaelen, Koscielny, Gibbs, Wilshere, Arteta, Cazorla, Walcott, Giroud/Podolski, Oxlade). However, it's unlikely Wilshere will be in any shape to play regularly until after the new year at the very earliest, while Sagna will take time as well. Moreover, we're definitely going to have injuries throughout the season, and then that's when the problems start. Our squad is nowhere near strong enough at the moment, and still having to rely on Chamakh, Squillaci, Djourou, Ramsey if we suffer injuries/suspensions doesn't fill me with much confidence.

Piers trying to get IvanTheTerrible trending

@piersmorgan

Wake up #Arsenal fans - 18 players have been shipped out this summer, just 3 brought in. Don't stand for this crap! #IvanTheTerrible

You've got 6hrs 33ms to spend that £41 million RVP/Song war chest, Mr Gazidis. No excuses, we're all waiting. #Arsenal #IvanTheTerrible

If #Arsenal don't sign several world class players today then the fans will have been conned and cheated once again. #IvanTheTerrible

[Olivier's xmas twist]

And here's an interesting transfer tale to kick us off this evening. BBC Sport's Graham Chase reports that Everton are in talks to sign Birmingham's England international goalkeeper Jack Butland.

The 19-year-old has been Tottenham's back-up option to Hugo Lloris and has also been a target for Southampton, Liverpool and Manchester City this summer but Everton are now closing on a deal.

If we don't sign anyone, I'd love to see how Arseblog manages to spin this as further vindication for the direction Kroenke and Gazidis are taking this club.

And injuries to podolski and giroud leave us with....
