    What would an ideal scenario look like? Just going by the rumour mills.....

    TV out (10mil) - Hummels in (30mil)

    Arteta out, I would not be unhappy to see him stay but if he does it doesn't go, we need a DM IMO - with that in mind why are we not after Bender more? We put a bid in for him last year, do we not think he is good enough anymore?

    Well we won't get more than 10mil probably more like 3 so paper talk fuelled 24 mil for Cavahlo? Will take our spending to a lot indeed but we address a lot if areas......can't see us spending any more on a striker as we will go with what we have....Walcott back etc

    TBF I already have a nose bleed from what we have done and spending 30 mil on Hummels would make it like it gush like Niagara

    We aren't getting Hummels in a million years and there are still 2 gaping holes in the squad as far as I am concerned. Don't think I'm being particularly harsh either....

    Really don't think we'll see more activity until the final day(s) of the window.

    It has been pretty good so far, but it has the potential to be awesome (or still terrible if we sell Cazorla, Podolski and TV without bringing anyone in)

    Really hope we get a CDM and a striker in.

    Heck, I'd rather have Henry back instead of Giroud.

    We're being linked with Daniel Agger as Vermaelen's replacement (Daily Mirror) , no point getting in another crock.

    Need to look at a pacier CB, Hummels is no quicker than Merts - strong defensive midfielder that can also click into our passing game - proper finisher upfront, the goals Sonogo scored at the weekend were one's Giroud wouldn't have got because he's too slow to keep up with play. Getting the likes of Walcott & Sanchez in behind defenders is how to break Premiership defences but unless you're CF is in or around the 6 yard box its mostly pointless. Giroud showed again at the weekend that he is not what we need. He breaks down 80% of our attacks with a stupid flick, bad pass or lack of control - he is simply not clever enough to be in a team with some of the other attacking talent we have. Wumger says that he wasn't ready after 3 weeks of rest but it was the same player we saw for most of last season, when he was supposedly fit.
    If we don't sign a striker, I would start with Walcott (if fit) on the right, Sanchez down the middle & OX/Campbell on the left. If we don't play Sanchez as CF, then Campbell should start with Sanogo ahead of Giroud in pecking order.

    I do hope the Agger rumours are bullturd. This chump is only half a step up from Squillvestre.

    Nastasic has been allegedly put up for sale, which has led to some speculating wildly in our direction.

    Nah as Blink says there's no way in hell we're getting Hummels. Dortmund won't sell after already losing Lewadonski (and possibly Reus) and it would take a David Luiz style bid to even get them interested.



    Really like Nastastic but would City be silly enough to sell them to us? They're mental to get rid of him in the first place but to then give them to a direct rival?

    Can't say I've seen Nastastic play that much.....if he is useful though he's worth a punt.....lot of promise when it comes to making songs that rhyme with his name

    Agger isn't a bad player at all....I don't totally get why he would be such a bad option. Even if he is a crock, it is better to replace an injury concerned player with another than not replacing him at all.


    Dein machine, you can't honestly think Hummels is marginally quicker than Mertesacker. Hummels is as complete a CB as you will find IMO. Bringing the ball out of defence he is as good as I've seen and reads the game exceptionally well. Dortmund have quietly turned down at least 2 massive bids for him in the last few years, including one from Chelsea.

    I said earlier this summer that I wouldn't have minded somebody like Lescott and understandably people cited his wages....and now he is at West Brom. He may not be the cream of the English crop any more but we are talking about a third/4th choice here. Unless you get some young upstart, you may as well go for steady experience. Not not like Squillaci, as he had not won a premier league before he came and had no premier league experience.

    Anyway.....let's just make sure we don't get someone who has to adapt to a new league and do so whilst being the slowest player on the field.

    He was one of the less detestable of the legion of Spanish Imps.... fantastic player. Always amazes me how small he actually is without strangely looking so small when playing.
