Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Munchies]

David Villa ended up going to Atletico Madrid for £5m

Suprised Wenger didn't go for him, at this rate, Higuain is more likely to go to Shitty than us

[Marc Overmars]

Gervinho could be off to Roma.

[server too busy!]

Cesar going to Napoli....

[Niall_Quinn]

Gervinho could be off to Roma.

Good stuff, just 50 more to go and then we can get the builders in.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Gervinho could be off to Roma.

They could use his head as a replacement for the Sistine Chapel.

One of my biggest fears for this transfer window is that some of the players we are after, want CL footie and since we're not sure to be in the CL until the end of aug (or the 9th if we draw an easy team) we could be waiting 1½ months before seeing any big names comming in :s

CL deadline is where it's at, doesn't matter a whole lot if we drop a few points at the start of the season, we don't need to start well to get 4th spot.

Don't know what the fuss is all about, there'll be plenty of journeyman available at the end of August.

Who says 8 years of underinvestment and lack of ambition doesn't get results?

They're just queuing up to join us, aren't they?

Race for Benteke is between the chavs and the spuds according to the Daily Hitler.

Given what we’ve got to spend this summer, wasting any of it on Gareth Barry would be hard to take. If Bender isn’t the guy, find another player in that age-bracket who can do the same job. We have a 30+ player in that position anyway, and the idea that Barry would be in any way an improvement on Arteta is laughable. Plus, it’s impossible to see how the next step from Bender is Barry. It’s like offering to buy a lovely new town-house, with all mod cons, before spending your money on a shack whose floors are littered with the corpses of small, decaying animals with walls smeared with shite and dried sick.

Plus some good info on our best transfer last year, Steve Bould, and a silver lining - in the absence of a serious signing we have a lovely new away kit.

So it should soon be official that Frankfurt is signing Nicklas ****ner, he was photographed at their stadium yesterday, the stupid **** has just been waiting for Arsenal to give in, so Frankfurt will be paying what they offered him and Arsenal will pay the rest, so it matches what he would get at Arsenal for the next year. I really hate this guy.
