ESPN mentioned on twitter that santos could struggle for work permit only played 54% of competitive internationals in last 2 years require 75% for work permit

Traore was £1.2m...

...QPR says we have until next week to pay them.

By the way my source says we are actually paying £11m for Metersacker, its 9 million for him and an add on as an apology for selling them sylvestre.

So looks like Mertesacker/Santos done deals, then. Interesting re: M'Vila.

[KSE Comedy Club]

SSN just said that Mertesacker has been given a full days leave to speak to the club that are interested in him and they expect a deal to be concluded tonight.

Must be the other medical today then.

Wenger is panic buying.

ESPN are thick as shit though. He has 22 caps already so its irrelevant.

But vast majority in friendlys which according to them don't count. No idea if true.

In the top corner on SSN in one of the little boxes it said:

Arsenal
Mertesacker & two more deals close.

We know that one of those could be yossi, malouda, Elia, etc but who the fuck is the CM gona be?
