Not sure if real account:

Tom Soares ‏@TomSoares8
all the best at #afc @wilfriedzaha this kid will boss it with arsenal

hmm

Llew Davies ‏@LlewAFC
For anyone wondering, Tom Soares is an ex-Crystal Palace youth. I believe he came through at the same time as Zaha. Friends, obviously.

Szczesny
Jenko Verma some random french CB Gibbs
Ox Coquelin Wilshere Zaha
Afobe Walcott

In 3 years time Proud

Seems a bit obscure for someone to impersonate. hmm

Fun fact: I actually know @LlewAFC from the Football Manager forums. Wasn't aware he had so many followers.

@GeoffArsenal: AW to offer Theo a long term deal that makes him the clear highest earner at AFC plus a signing on fee of £4-5m.

by RealGunner Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:43 pm

Zaha best be something really special.

He doesn't deserve more than Cazorla or Wilshere. Since Santi is on something like 90k and jack 80k. I assume theo will be on 95k-100k p/w

But then, might as well tie him down with that.

Does this mean he'll earn around 90k/week?

I'm not quite sure who's our top earner and what he earns. Laughing

by Jay29 Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:48 pm

"Clear highest earner" suggests £100k p/w or more to me, considering the wages Podolski and Wilshere are on.

The follow up tweet was interesting:

@GeoffArsenal: Feels that now is the time for Theo to step up and take the Thierry Henry role at Arsenal and become a legend.

The club putting a lot of faith in Walcott, it seems.

by urbaNRoots Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:49 pm

That might be a bullshit account so don't flame me if it is indeed

Now this.......

Problem is, he will be offered more elsewhere and the more he scores this season the more he will get offered elsewhere.

by Lex Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:51 pm

If we match his demands (which it seems likely we will), then it's simply a matter of how much Walcott actually loves the club.

by Jay29 Sun Dec 30, 2012 9:52 pm

Apparently the Tom Soares account is a fake, according to another Twitter guy... yeah, best leave this one alone, I think.

Zaha to Arsenal is probably the most likely transfer, though. Just seems like such an Arsenal buy.

Confirmed again that David Villa wants to join Arsenal FC in the January window. He is pushing for a move away from Barca to play football.

by Jay29 Sun Dec 30, 2012 10:07 pm

Walcott to sign a new deal, Villa on loan? Okay. Thumbs up

He also said you would sign Rangel and Sahin in the summer :coffee:

Glad he was wrong about the Sahin rumour tbh

by RealGunner Sun Dec 30, 2012 10:17 pm

I guess we didn't need Sahin afterall. Should have gone for Capoue though ( still should )

Dem dreams

dont know about rangel but were actually REALLY close to signing sahin, so i guess that counts for something.

by urbaNRoots Sun Dec 30, 2012 10:18 pm

We will sign Tom Soares in the end.

VAGI

by Jay29 Sun Dec 30, 2012 10:19 pm

To be fair to him, we was going to sign Sahin. We just pulled out the deal because Diaby had suddenly found some fitness and Wilshere was progressing quickly.

As for Rangel he only said, Arsenal were interested didn't say we would actually sign him. It makes sense with Sagna bitching around in the summer.

Hannover 96 after Johan Djourou from Arsenal and Gojko Kacar from Hamburg according to @BILD_Sport

Arsenal remain interested in David Villa. We understand Fabregas has recommended AFC to him and the player is keen.

Agent Cesc hmm

This the least Barca can do for Arsenal, after all we have done for them.
