Re: The Official Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

[Jay29]

By the way, seems I mis-read the time for the kit launch; it's 23:00 UK time, which is a completely stupid time for any unveiling. I doubt there'll be any player announcements today.

Khedira is out of favor in the starting eleven.He doesn't fit out football.. He started the season just because of Alonso was injured... Got relegated to bench as soon as he came back. Our midfield play improved dramatically once Di maria-alonso-modric became starters. If Khedira was a starter pretty sure we wouldn't have gone further in CL. Even in CL final.. you can see he doesn't have the technique to play a ball dominant game.. We improved as soon as he got subbed out for Isco.

He isn't a DM... he is a b2b yet doesn't even have better technique than our CBs. That's his weakness. He is pretty good for a counter attacking game but becomes useless when chasing the game.

@bbcsport_david: Final Sanchez fee around £35m, medical later today, not unveiled at kit launch:

So thats roughly 43m in euros.I see why we never had a chance.

Apparently La Xarxa quote Ignasi Miquel as saying: "Hopefully I can help Alexis to adapt at Arsenal. Although for that, I'd have to stay."

Sami Khedira has rejected the opportunity to sign a new two-year contract with Real Madrid & is pushing to join Arsenal. (El Confidencial)

@bbcsport_david: Final Sanchez fee around £35m, medical later today, not unveiled at kit launch:

world cup up his price by about 15m.

[MJ]

Barca signed him for around €36m. It would have been asking a lot of them to allow him to go without making a profit.

Sanchez pictured at the airport heading to London according to Mundo Deportivo who were first to post it.

Looked online and couldn't find it anywhere else. Only other pics of him at the airport were a few years old and he looked visibly younger so maybe this is legit.

Lee Dixon on Twitter: "Just spoke to Arsene. He's very happy about Sanchez and Debuchy."

I can't imagine better marketing for puma than announcing the two tonight.

[VendettaRed07]

When is the unveil happening?

[Jay29]

23:00 UK time. The only times Arsenal have announced players so late have been on deadline days.

[Raptorgunner]

Wenger let Chelsea get Fabregas which allowed Barcelona to get Suarez so Arsenal could get Sanchez!   

Liverpool.  

[Raptorgunner]

We're in need of a striker and Heskey gets released on the same day as Arsenal kit launch?     Coincidence?

I can't believe this hasn't been mentioned yet but.... Sanchez is a Nike athlete, not a chance in hell of him being unveiled at a Puma event.

Maybe he won't be unveiled at the event.. But maybe later in the night on arsenal.com wearing a puma kit.

He doesnt really have a choice, he will be wearing the shirt for a long time, this is about Arsenal not Nike and Puma.

I would think that there would be more players there than just Santi, Artetta and Rosicky.

You're confusing the difference between a Puma event and a contractually obligation which it would be to play for Arsenal and wear their product.

He won't be contractually obligated to be part of the kit launch and Nike won't be too happy about it, i'd bet anything he won't be part of the kit launch.

[El Gunner]

I think you should just all calm down.
The kit launch will of course be tonight. And let that be that!
We will see the announcements some time afterwards.

[RealGunner]

At least we have agreed fee and everything.

Unveil can happen anytime.

[Mr Nick09]

Cadena Ser: Arsenal close to obtaining the loan with buying option of Javier Manquillo, pathetico right back.

[Jay29]

I honestly didn't expect Sanchez to be announced before Debuchy. Makes me wonder if something's holding that deal up.

Fingers crossed for a couple more in before the Emirates Cup.
