Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Cripps_orig]

Agent: Marica 'close to joining Arsenal

The striker is available on a free transfer after leaving Schalke at the end of the last season and his representative has revealed a move could be in the offing "next week"

Former Schalke striker Ciprian Marica is set to join Arsenal on a free transfer, according to the player's agent.

Arsene Wenger failed with big-money pursuits of both Luis Suarez and Gonzalo Higuain during the summer window, before smashing the Gunners' transfer record with the €47 million capture of midfielder Mesut Ozil.

Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho also blocked a loan switch for Demba Ba to the Emirates Stadium on deadline day, leaving Wenger with limited options up front, but Marica's agent, Ioan Becali, insists his client is close to a move.

"He's close to joining Arsenal, but we have to wait for the next week," Becali told Prosport.ro.

"Marica is a really great striker who has already got experience in western European football and so it's natural that big clubs are eyeing his career."

Marica left Schalke at the end of last season after notching just five league goals during a two-year spell.

Back to normal we are I see

Well, we are limited as to choices now the window has SLAMMED SHUT! But if he keeps Bendtner off the pitch for the League Cup games, he is almost as good a signing as Oizil.

Iaquinta is available, he's a better option surely.

Don't see the point of adding another shitster on our books on a probable 3+ year contract just because he might be marginally better than Bendtner right now. After removing most of the disease, we've got a likeable squad of players with only one scrubber left to eradicate. Let's not double our workload.

[Master Splinter]

Yeah, Dennis Bendtner aside, we have unproven young players now, but no-one truly shit/beyond repair in the squad. Only Vermaelen could fall into one of those categories if he's not careful. I don't include Park because he doesn't exist on this physical plane.

We have Bendtner in our payroll, use him. We should go quality over quantity, save it for Reus when we bid for him next summer.
