Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Please just buy Parker, Barton, Cahill (both preferably), Bellamy (apparently City are about to give away their unwanted players for free), Jagileka, Baines and let's give Arteta a try. All are gettable for various reasons, total cost would probably come in under £60mill and we must have plenty in the wage kitty given the departures. Instant injection of experience and fire plus enough to deal with the injury horror story we have to endure each season.

This could be done in the time we have left, all those big Euro names would take another six months just to deal with their poxy demands, I want a mansion, I want free flights back to the homeland, I want, I want, i want,.. fuck 'em. buy locally and save the hassle.

I think £60 million for all of those is probably optimistic. Most of those are English and going from one English club to another, we'll have to pay the premium for them and you know we'll come in with a low-ball figure that we won't move away from. There is just as much hassle, only, it'll be coming from us.

Are we getting Kaka then?

[gunsofashburtongrove]

I am beginning to think we are eitehr broke or the board have told Wenger not to spend. I just refuse to accept our manager would let the team get to where it was yesterday, he isnt that daft. Also why are we trying to loan Lucho gonzalez rather than buying him??

Strange things are going on at Arsenal and i would bet one of my balls its not ALL down to the manager as many on here would have you believe

Yup i definitely think that its not all down to him, have been hearing what a lot of people have been saying some AST members, Dein, ex-players etc. What i can make out is that we did go through a period when he had no money and hence the reliance on only youth. Now we do have money (may not be a 100 million though) all the other clubs realize it and charge us a premium for players which we are not prepared to do. I think we will buy and have already tied a few deals down but we wont announce till the prices are agreed on Nasri and some of players we are buying.
The Lucho loan move doesn't surprise me neither does Kaka on loan, Hazard and Jagielka. We would probably get Jagielka as he fits the best into our defense can play CB and LB, but are just haggling with Everton whom we know desperately need money

I would be very surprised if Everton let us help them financially by raping their team of their best players. . . . not all teams are cut from the same cloth as us

but they do have good players that would help us out, Baines is good but I would take Felliani and Jags. . .Beelemy would give us an energy boost and considering the kind of players we realistcally are going to be able to attract, he fits the bill

I dont think there is any question that there is money available for transfers,Wenger himself openly admitted in an interview the other day he would have no problem paying 30/40 million for the right player/players.Never before has the man spoke so openly about spending money,and thats as a result of fan pressure as far as i am concerned,and its important that this kind of pressure continues.Yes its important the fans get behind the players and support the team but its also important that our voice is heard.We have seen the results of the six year Wenger experiment and its clear it cant be let continue,its early days I know but I think Wenger and the board are finally getting the message that the fans cannot be ignored any longer,time will tell I know and I hope its not just wishful thinking on my part.

better than Song, that prat gets booked in the first 15mins of every bloody game. Plus he has a smart haircut. Old-skool

[Japan Shaking All Over]

desperate times require desparate measures..........didnt QPR bid 4mil

wonder how much it would cost us?..........we're going to get squeezed

The haircut is an important point which is mostly overlooked.

I think Arsenal bid £14mill for him, as soon as other clubs became interested his value sky rocketed. Don't think he's all that tbh.

Mata would walk into our team easily. He's not some unknown Kid, he's an established top class La Liga & Spanish international.

The fact that we bid 14mill tells us all we need to know about Arsene & our club.
