Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Niall_Quinn]

After Sebastian Perez’s arrival yesterday for a trial with Arsenal it has been revealed that Alharbi El Jadeyaoui has also arrived at the club for a two day trial.
The left-sided midfielder who can also play as a forward will be 27 on Thursday and he currently plays for Angers in Ligue 2.
Beyond that, I know very little about him at all. In fact, I know nothing about him at all.
He’s French, he’s from a lower league, but he’s not young, so I don’t really know what to make of the whole thing.
With Arsenal being linked with a move for free agent Ciprian Marica it’s unclear what the policy is now regarding recruiting players. With a number for first-team fringe players being moved on we no doubt need to boost the squad numbers but the names being linked with the club are odd to say the least.

If this is true then we really need to start discussing whether Wenger should be sacked today or tomorrow to give the new guy at least a week to do something in the transfer window.

Freiburg deny Ginter is set to move to Arsenal

The Bundesliga side's sporting director dismissed reports suggesting the Gunners had agreed a fee for the 19-year-old as "nonsense" and intends to keep him at the club

Freiburg have denied that Germany Under-21 starlet Matthias Ginter is close to joining Arsenal.

The 19-year-old defender-cum-midfielder had been linked with a €7 million move to the north London club, with Arsene Wenger looking to bolster a backline that is without the injured Thomas Vermaelen.

But the Bundesliga club's sporting director Jochen Saier has dismissed claims that the Gunners have agreed a deal for Ginter, and says there has been no contact of any kind regarding a transfer.

"That's nonsense. We have not received an inquiry and there are no thoughts about selling him," Saier told Badische Zeitung.

Freiburg's insistence that Ginter is not for sale is another blow to Arsenal during a disapointing summer window, having already had a £42m bid for Luis Suarez rejected and with Yaya Sanogo the only new arrival.

Ginter has made 23 Bundesliga appearances last season for Freiburg, playing predominantly at centre-back, and scored his only goal of the season in February against Werder Bremen.

Thank fuck

So the big question is, do we want to win a game or eat a game?

Man speaks quite a lot of sense tbh.

Pogba is quality, we should have gone in for him big time when he quit Man Utd.

There's also the bit where he says "if it ain't broke, don't fix it" where the board and manager don't think anything is broken and tickets are sold out, it makes sense and makes me even more convinced this whole bidding thing this summer was just a ploy meant to fail to upease a few fans.

The tickets are sold at the end of the day so what are they gonna do if we don't sign any top class players, nothing!

The Arsenal we loved and cherished has gone! The Club is now owned by people that dont care! They are not Arsenal Supporters......unlike David Dein. As soon as Dein went, the problems started in my opinion.

Those of you who remember the 70's, 80's and some of the 90's supporting Arsenal, it was an almost "family" club, there was a kind of bond between the board, the players and the fans.

If it was up to Dein we'd be playing in Wembley right now.

Dein's influence is exaggerated IMO. Increased competition is the main reason we're shit these days IMO. We have a shit board too, no doubt about it, and a manager not suited to today's game.

Shame about the Ginter guy. Seems like he would have been a good signing.


Pretty sure the Romanian bloke is a troll rumour by the way. Give Wenger some credit at least.

No big club is like that any more. Not even your beloved Spurs.

I wish we were, we'd have a bigger stadium which would have cost us a lot less and a much more competitive team.

I disagree about his influence being exaggerated, he had tonnes of contacts, football was his number 1 priority and he's the reason we signed a lot of the players we did.
