When is somebody going to inform the media (and agents no doubt) the transfer window is closed and now it's time for some football? Obviously if the agents had there way there'd never be a game played and the entire season would be spent on transfers and contract negotiations. Then again, agents are blood sucking leeches that exist to steal from football. If the media isn't careful it'll be viewed that way too...

Lewandowskis agent has confirmed that he have been having meetings with Napoli and talk positive about them, maybe its just a trick to make Bayern raise their contract offer, but we should seriously go all in for this guy in January, offer him like a 15mil+ sign-on bonus and same pay as Özil as minimum.

I thought he had his heart set on joining Bayern Munich. If he would consider joining Napoli then surely he would love to join Arsenal with Ozil supplying him.

Agent talk. Everybody knows its a done deal with Bayern. Trying to sign him is almost as pointless as trying to sign Suarez.

Pointless bids are our speciality? If we can somehow make it derisory and/or insulting too, then I reckon we have the makings of a solid Arsenal transfer saga here...

Fair point.

Lewandowski would be be little bit special but I'm pretty sure he's Bayern bound.

Incidentally, is anyone else getting really bored of the word 'derisory' now? Surely there must be other words and phrases out there to describe our insulting offers?
