Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

by 1991 Sun Aug 25, 2013 3:16 am

Frimpong never excited me too much after i was disappointed in how Muamba turned(or failed to) out but to be fair he has had alot of injuries. Not to sound racist but alot of black players tend to look like amazing prospects as teens because they are more developed physically then tend to get found out as everyone else catches up, same thing goes for Victor Moses when he was at palace academy, looked like a future Ballon d'or winner, now.....meh

@sportsczy

No weaker than usual. We had a midfield two of Ramsey-Rosicky today and had Ramsey-Wilshere in CL.

Ramsey and Wilshere are very feisty and have a big work rate. I think it's fine since there's no DM on the squad.

You think we'll sign anyone at all Sports?

Karim Djaziri (Karim Benzema's long time agent) says Benz will 'not be joining Arsenal' and is instead negotiating a new contract with Real Madrid.

by VendettaRed07 Sun Aug 25, 2013 3:43 am

Oh well..

At least get Di Maria. FFs. SIGN A PLAYER.

Yeah... Benzema's agent says Benz is not going to Arsenal or anywhere else... so that's that.

That's what i was expecting. He usually kills the rumors quickly if there's nothing to them.

by Jay29 Sun Aug 25, 2013 3:56 am

Not like that wasn't incredibly predictable.

So I guess that leaves Rooney as our remaining option.

Good thing Giroud has started the season well.

by urbaNRoots Sun Aug 25, 2013 4:43 am

I would still take Jackson Martinez and let him and Giroud fight out for a place in the first XI.

We can't go for another season with Giroud only upfront. Who's going to play if Giroud is injured, suspended or out of form? Podolski? Walcott? Sanogo? The first two are simply not good enough to play centrally, Podolski lacks the movement and work-rate, Walcott lacks everything but pace/finishing/movement to play there and Sanogo should be 3rd choice mostly.

Of course if Rooney is available and willing to join he should our target but I would like to have a backup option and Jackson would be ideal.

Benzema 'won't go to Arsenal', says his long-time agent Karim Djaziri.

So Benzema and his agent were just using us to try and get himself a better contract at Madrid Laughing

EFF OFF.

Exactly. I said it in another Madrid forum. Benzema and his agent tempted Arsenal only for a better contract at Madrid.

At this stage, only Flamini sounds like a realistic target.

I decided to keep calm until Sept 1st.

by furiouswindbottom Sun Aug 25, 2013 5:45 am

Hate talkin' 'bout the scum, but I have a thought.

1. Spurs have spent the Bale money. Pretty well, it has to be said.

2. Spurs haven't got it yet.

3. I hope Perez takes this advice..

Tell the Spuds you'll pay 90m in a few days. You're waiting for financing.

As the window closure draws near, reassure them.

On deadline day, call them and say ''That 90m is being put through to us now. As soon as we get it, which could be any minute...we'll call you.''

The spuds will wait. This should be about two hours left when you do this.

Then, with 30 mins to go, call (that phone will be picked up in an instant) and say ''Goodness me! We didn't get that money due to a technicality. We've only got 40m. Will that do?''

They will shout. Scream even. But they will sell. They'll probably sell most of their new signings in January to survive.

Please make Spurs Leeds v2.

That would make my day.

Over to you Perez.

Like I said...DESPERATE for that money.

You lot need to chill, lately all Arsenal fans have become obsessed with Speeerz. It used to be the other way, they are the one who should be obsessed with us not them. Get a grip ffs

Bollocks mate. I want them ruined and us to buy their stadium and turn it into a car park.

That would be nice.

by Wilson37 Sun Aug 25, 2013 5:52 am

I never liked to see Rooney at Arsenal.. But now feels like a good idea.. Or is it desperation to sign some good player ? Rooney can play at CAM along with Giroud or play CF when Giroud is unavailable.. And he can solve the creativity problems too to an extent..
Pay him the fat 200k wages and the 40 million which Manure needs.. But we will be followed and outbid by Chelshit..
Moyes is such a hypocrite.. Asking Martinez to let go Fellaini and Baines according to their wish.. And he is holding Rooney against his wish.. Such a ****..

Moyes has Manchester United Dna, as in highly dislikeable prick. Look forward to hating him as much as i've hated Fergie Laughing

Newcastle midfielder Yohan Cabaye refused to play in his side's 0-0 draw at home to West Ham on Saturday following a £10m bid from Arsenal.

http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23829069

Sorry Mole. Cabaye for Bendtner plus 10m.

by VendettaRed07 Sun Aug 25, 2013 8:25 am

I think bendtner would actually be much better for Newcastle right now than cisse

Jonathan Pearce commentating on BBC earlier: "Arsenal have major transfer developments imminent, I am told."

by Jay29 Sun Aug 25, 2013 8:50 am

He then asked Wenger after the game: "Any news on imminent transfers?"

Wenger response: "No. Nothing imminent."

by Sina Sun Aug 25, 2013 8:53 am

was it on MOTD? Sorry i didnt watch

of course Arsene would deny anything https://i.servimg.com/u/f45/16/55/86/86/xowen10.gif

by Raptorgunner Sun Aug 25, 2013 9:05 am

wenger“I am confident [of new signings]. The desire of the players to join us [makes me confident] and the fact that we have - maybe not as much as everyone writes - but we have some funds available to do the transfers.

by Raptorgunner Sun Aug 25, 2013 9:08 am

Wenger “Everybody says to us, ‘You are happy with Champions League football’," he said. “Of course we are happy with it - but we want more.

“I can guarantee you that every player who wants to join us, the first question is 'Do you play in the Champions League or not?' It is as simple as that. That is the first requirement of the top, top, top level players.

“You would be surprised how early [in the summer] we acted. In our job sometimes you can spend a lot of time and not go on holiday to work on things and it does not come off. That is part of our job.

“It is a question of patience, of continuing to be completely focused on it. Sometimes nothing happens for five or six weeks and then in 24 hours you can do two or three good deals. It is not predictable.”
