Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

[Sri]

No chance with Chelsea.  Benz was deceived by Mourinho last summer and he doesn't like him at all...  he'd rather warm the bench at Madrid then go to Chelsea.

And the Falcao thing is pure fabrication made up by Marca, who know nothing about Spanish footy let alone French footy.  Less than nothing to these Falcao stories.

Thanks

Why not Reus? I like Benzema but I would love to have Reus. 40m I am sure we can get either one.

Think of how unrealistic Benzema is, double that for Reus.

Arsenal have rejected an approach for Lukas Podolski from an unnamed club. 

No source just a twitter rumor.

[Raptorgunner]

Benzema, di Maria, cabaye and Fellaini. I'm not asking for much.

has to be Schalke for Poldi

Selling podolski would be an absolute disgrace. Can’t see it happening.

Is it true we have signed Flamini? 

Quit playing, bruh

Wenger finally makes a signing... with Flamini set to return to Arsenal on a free transfer!

Signing Flamoney would be a disgrace of the highest order... the prick that left us when we needed him most. F*ck him. Besides he's shit nowadays, ask any Milan fan... only plays well when he needs a new contract

[Chumlum]

If Flamini is the only midfield signing, that'd be more than worrying.

If Flamini comes along with at least one other significant midfield signing, and is instead kind of a back-up option because of injuries to Arteta, Diaby, even Ox, and potentially (always) Rosicky ... it's not a bad deal IMO.

Still, you have to wonder about this history of bringing in players Arsenal let go from earlier years. Campbell, Henry, Lehmann ...

[Sina]

flamoney is Bleep but he can do that Coquelin job as squadie covering whenever needed so not that bad
Best announce him with another signing or Media will be at it meh

[Highburied]

I endorse the Flamoney signing as long as his contract is not too long and has pay per play in it.

Why not?

[Sina]

oh and he shouldnt have release clause but
a clause in which he should just be Told(informed politely) to GTFO when Arteta returns

Sell Flamini for a profit, sign him back on a free half a decade later

We never made a profit on Flamoney.

He left for free and is coming back for free.lol

It won't be a short-term contract, it's the main reason he didn't accept Milan's contract offer in the first place.

If he's signed he'll be Coquelin's replacement who was Arteta's understudy... Wenger won't be adding more players in midfield, because quite frankly we don't need more with Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey and Oxlade-Chamberlain already there.

Fair enough...

He will be a decent backup.

Yes we do need an additional midfielder but only a quality one.

But, a CM is not a priority.

The Guardian reporting this aswell, so it's actually happening

Instead of signing Flamini we could you know... uhm sign AN ACTUAL DEFENSIVE MIDFIELDER, not another box-to-box runner. We let Coquelin go because we have enough of these but we only have Arteta properly protecting the back 4.

[Lex]

Flamini was originally a defensive mid, if i recall correctly

[Sina]

ok no worries
Better option than Frimpong at least

Arsenal fans slaughtering Flamini for leaving. Just remember, he was on £20k a month, when likes of Eboue & Denilson were on £50k per week!

Enough said. I have always been a fan of Flamini. Was gutted to see him go. I think there is still a LOT he can offer. Would not hurt buying him for free.

A defensive midfielder who couldn't hold his position... no wonder we were even worse defensively back then with him and Cex

[Lex]

I'd rather have Eboue back than Flamini, £50k a month wage and all
