12.45 Sky Sports News report that "payments to agents" are holding up Samir Nasri's move from Arsenal to Manchester City.

^^ should be wrapped up soon then, maybe later today.

[server too busy!]

Surely we need to be buying a couple defenders, striker and AM before the window closes. I like Hazard but do we really need anymore wingers? Can he play centrally?

Early summer reports show that Wenger wanted Kompany-Nasri swap, as Kompany stalled on new contract. Tried same with De Jong, no success.

Derek Derango is a stupid cunt and probably doesn't even work for the bbc. Ignore him

"DerekDerangoBBC Derek Derango
Apparently phone call to Real Madrid by #afc was concerning two players, Kaka and Benzema. Xabi Alonso impossible."

Don't worry, he can play them up front...that's the beauty of Wenger, a players position doesn't matter you can always stick him somewhere else.

I like his name tbh.

I think we'll possibly get Jags or Cahill before the window closes.

Interesting stuff.

Hazard would be a top signing but somehow I really don't see us parting with the best part of 25million for him.

#lfc interested in Ryan Shawcross and Gary Cahill. Cahill holding out for #afc, but with Arsenal going for Jagielka, Cahill to #lfc possible

Derek Derango No agreement between Madrid's asking price and #afc valuation. Madrid reckon Kaka's commercial value is undervalued.

Yeh but seriously, putting all the shits and giggles aside, what the hell is going on?

Deep down, I know that wenger isnt stupid, but his actions dont do anything for him.

This team was weak in a few key areas at the end of the season, we needed 2-3 experienced signings to become a title winning team.

So far we have now lost 2 1st team players (nasri is going) and what, around 4-5 squad players? and have brought in one experienced player and a couple of young talents.

As it stands now, we CANNOT compete in four competitions over a full season, it just isnt gonna happen. We need to add, anyone with any idea about football can see that we need to add players.

Something has to be getting lined up, it would be insane not to add anyone else.

I know it's frightening isn't it? The scary thing is Arsene is crazy enough to go into the season with the squad as it is, it really wouldn't surprise me.

It's not that I think Arsene thinks the squad is good enough or doesn't want to buy, it's just I think he absolutely refuses to pay over the odds irrespective of the situation we're in.

He'll probably try and buy a number of players over the next few weeks but will fail due to low ball offers & not compromising on valuations.
