Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

Why should it stop with Wenger? For all we know he's tried to keep Fabregas and Nasri here, he's tried to make signings, we just don't know. It could well be the hateful, filthy swine excrement in the boardroom that have insisted we keep under-bidding by £2mill. It could be the flatulent, obese, puss riddled vermin in the directors' box who have caved on the Fabregas price and jumped at the Nasri cash. Look at the facts. As the club has sunk these blood-suckers have filled their pockets. And the yank says nothing. For all we know none of them pay any attention to the football side of things any more, focusing only on scraping in profit wherever they can find it including turning the transfer window into a profit centre. Maybe spending £15mill on Oxo is simply a three year program to groom him for a Man City or a Chelsea or a Real Madrid with £30mill coming the other way. RvP and Theo will be gone next season, Jack after that. This club looks more and more like a production line and less like a football club as each season passes.

Who is Jadson? Lowdown on new Gunner

Part of Shakhtar's Brazilian set

Jadson is perhaps the best of Shakhtar Donetsk's large Brazilian contingent. He was brought to Ukraine from his first club, Atletico Paranaense in 2005. He was joined at the Ukrainian club by compatriots Willian, Ilsinho, Fernandinho, Luiz Adriano and most recently the Manchester United target Douglas Costa.

The architect of their success

Jadson has the characteristic gifts of a Brazilian attacking midfielder. He is well balanced, with a low centre of gravity and has exceptional footwork from either side. For Shakhtar he played as the central attacking midfielder of a 4-2-3-1, similar to Arsenal's current system. In seven seasons in Ukraine, Jadson won the title five times, as well as two cups.

That magical night in Istanbul

Jadson's peak as a Shakhtar player was the 2009 Uefa Cup final at Fenerbahce's stadium in Istanbul. After one of his trademark late runs into the box, he scored the winning goal in extra-time as Shakhtar beat Werder Bremen 2-1.

International recognition

His international career has only just started, but he went to the Copa America and scored the opening goal from distance in Brazil's 2-2 draw with Paraguay.

Where will he fit in at Arsenal?

His skills are perfect to replace Cesc Fabregas as the brain of the 4-3-3 system. Of similar build to Fabregas (and Samir Nasri), he should contribute goals from distance and from inside the box.

@younggunsblog: Arsenal will be paying £930,000 for Joel Campbell, rising to just over £1 million, if certain variable bonuses are met. Campbell previously said in an interview two weeks ago that Arsenal had promised him the number 12 shirt.
