I have a feeling we might land Samba, the worst of the three CBs we have supposedly been chasing even though we haven't made any serious bids. A couple of weeks back I'd have said it was a certainty we'd get a CB but as we get closer to the end of the window it's starting to look like a 50/ 50 bet at best.

If all of that came true and add a CB to that then maybe just maybe we have a chance of a decent season.Won't happen thoughThe family and representatives of Arsenal target Juan Mata are in London to discuss the midfielder's £15m move from Valencia that could open the door for fellow Spain international Cesc Fabregas to be finally be sold to Barcelona.Full story: Daily MirrorMeanwhile, Arsenal are to be offered Real Madrid forward Karim Benzema for £25m as the Spanish club prepare a move for Manchester City forward Carlos Tevez.Full story: caughtoffside.comArsenal manager Arsene Wenger is to approach Lille for their 20-year-old Belgian attacking midfielder Eden Hazard.Full story: footie-online.co.uk
That´s a battery of fantasy signings, each name left me more and more breathless. Now it´d be more balanced, to say so, if Nasri left after Mata´s arrival. Also Hazard and Benzema? If Arsenal are "offered" Benzema for 25M, it´s impossible. Mata for only 15M... someone else would stand on the way in the last minute I fear....
It´s nice to dream though, but it gets boring
But hey, I saw Boca today playing against Espanyol, and saw a certain player called Thievy. He´s the kind of man Wenger must be looking at, forget about Mata.
When we sign the kids from Barca, during the medical do we test for how much Barca DNA they have? If not, we should.
Cesc and Nasri out, Benzema, Mata plus a CB and a LB in? That'd do for me and I think it might well happen, apart from the Benzema, Mata, CB and LB bits.

I'll come in my pants if we got even one out of three of those. However. The priority is defence. We need to land a proper CB and get rid of squilacci. I can see mata joining as replacement for cesc however. If we sell cesc for 35 mil, and mata is 15 mil, then our net spend, forgetting the small fry, is minus ten mil, if gervinho is 10 mil. If we have a kitty at all, then we should really be spending some of that on a defence. However, some of that goes towards paying nasri to lesbian around the pitch for a year, before he lesbians off on a free lesbo next summer.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
wiki says mata has agreed a five year contract with arsenal, will be wearing no.9 jersey.
oh dear.
1) it'll never happen
2) no.9 jersey is cursed, he'd contaminate the whole squad with ebola.
Yeah, it's confirmed on Wiki.ArsenalHe will be joining arsenal July 30th 2011, in an interview with Marca he said "I am very happy to be joining a club like arsenal tha plays good football and I have heard a lot of good things about this club from my friend Fabregas.
Fucking megaBloldozer.
