Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[GP]

Why are people concerned about Suarez being banned for 6 games?? We're not going to sign him!

Of course not, but since we can't talk about real signings we have to talk about hypothetical ones.

Manchester United striker Wayne Rooney, 27, would consider signing for Arsenal if a transfer to Chelsea falls through.

We do genuinely seem interested in signing some proper quality this summer, which is more than we have been before.
Till we actually do though...

The dude Bernard looks like a good move, hopefully this comes off. Pacey, good contol, good crosser from what I can see.

Ideally, we want another striker. I'm with Zimm. 25mil would be more than enough for a quality striker, without the baggage. You put players around a goalscorer who can create chances, you don't need him to be RVP or some wonder player. Just someone who works the line, and can take 70% of the chances created.

We need some quality in midfield, and probably a RB (I'm assuming Wenget is moving Sagan insode to CB as cover).

You can get that for 70mil easy.

But it is a pipe dream, as I just have no faith we'll go outside of our comfort zone.

I can understand the reservations about him because lets face it, he is scum. But I do think he's an unbelievable player who we'd seriously benefit from having. His finishing is not as good as it could be, although 30 goals last season suggests there is a lot to work with. Then you also have his amazing ability on the ball, he can really make things happen from nothing, ghosts past players with ease and always makes a nuisance of himself. What he did last season is far more impressive than Higuain being served up everything on a plate by Ozil, Ronaldo etc

Sign the bastard up, I'm sure we'd forget about everything once he scores a few worldies. 40m or whatever, I don't care, it's not an extortionate amount for a proven top quality player these days.

That really is awful.

The article, as well as your face.

My face will come in useful when I become an infamous sports writer.

Well player Wenger well played

Now stop f*cking about and go and sign a player with a more realistic price tag like Higuain. We won't be doing so but even if we did spending 40+ million on a player and blowing all our budget would be stupid.

so it's gone from we'd never spend that much, living in cloud cuckoo land etc to what an idiot for spending 40million on one player.

Goalposts shifted again

Interesting piece from Arseblog this morning. He’s deadest against the Suarez move and it’s understandable but I didn’t realise so many people had mixed views on the transfer. Maybe I should pay attention to Twitter.

Surprised Wenger added a pound to make it go over 40 , a penny would have sufficed

And the Yank Liverpool owner put this out :

What do you think they're smoking over there at Emirates?

He probably shouldn't have put a 40milliom pound clause in suarezs contract then
