25 mil is not bad for khedira, with one year left on his deal.

[MJ]

Apparently we've moved away from Remy after a price disagreement ( I'm almost certain we bid like, £4.2m and £400k in add ons ) and are focusing on Debuchy and Manquillo before going back to QPR as we do have serious interest in him.

[RealGunner]

He will be gone by the time we go back in for him lol

[Sri]

Lebanese resources?

[Sina]

Good hope we never go back for him
Spurs/Everton level player

Sam ‏@samuelJayC 59s
Wenger on Eurosport tonight (with David James). Hints Alexis will play up top: "he has attributes of modern striker"

interesting

[Sina]

on few occasions yes but overall he will already have to adapt to new league and find understanding with new Colleagues......
of course I Trust Arsene Though

[EL Patron]

When Sanchez plays upfront, he is more like a fake 9 which isn't a bad thing itself. Interesting option to have especially if we have Theo fit and firing.

[RealGunner]

Oxlade-Sanchez-Theo all interchanging. Could work

AM: Sanchez
RB: Debuchy
DM: Khedira/Lars/Schneiderlin
GK: Ospina
CB: ?
ST: ?

[Sina]

wish we got some PL experienced GK,but i guess that would be a little bit expensive[for a back up GK]

Hope he is good enough to threaten Szczesny's place
i trust Woj to be our no1 but he shouldnt feel safe and assured of his spot
Arsenal adding some south American blood
============
apparently Manquillo wants to join but Atleti doesn't want to include option to buy

[urbaNRoots]

When Walcott is playing, it's like playing with two upfront anyway, atleast when we are in possession for a long period.

It'll be something like this:

Alexis Walcott
Cazorla ............. Özil
Ramsey Arteta

While Theo is out:

Giroud
Cazorla Özil Alexis
Ramsey Arteta

I'd personally start Oxlade-Chamberlain but with his injury problems, maybe better to play in-form Cazorla in the beginning.

That's fine with me, extra options especially for big games when we can bring Giroud on in the second half.

[Mr Nick09]

the express and the mirror both have mourinho coming to sign Khedira. i think we will say no unless he sells Ramires, since Ancelotti wants him and mou refused to sell.

[RealGunner]

Spoke to a friend who is good at collecting information across the internet(reliable)

Apparently Schneiderlin is going to be next after Debuchy. He is our no 1 choice at DM as he can play there comfortably over Khedira. Basically like an athletic version of Arteta.

However few people also suggesting that Arsene wants both Schneiderlin and Khedira. Obviously that sounds more of a fan fiction than truth but

In any case. I'd be happy with Schneiderlin.

Crap banner, no Gibbo or Jenkinson   

[Sina]

widely accepted there wont be another high profile signing in Attack ;(

would have been unreal if we could afford buying 2 players for Midfield
but as long as we get one lol

prices are ridiculously high
will we really pay 20M+ for a player that has just played 2 seasons at high level and literally no international/European experience ?  

[RealGunner]

There are no high profile attacker to buy Sina.

[Chumlum]

Schneiderlin will probably be pretty expensive, but then again no good DM is exactly available for peanuts right now, is there? Seems like a very sensible signing - along the lines of Debuchy. Not exciting a la Alexis, but someone who will fill a role in the squad, won't necessarily make us weaker, and will possibly make us better.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Schneiderlin isn't that good IMO, you can do a lot better.

Read something earlier (nope can not rember where either) that said the reason that we are looking signing Manquillo is Jenkinson is going to Newcastle.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

We ain't signing Jenkinson, no one from our media consider him an option.

His links come from the national media who have no clue tbh.

[Chumlum]

FWIW
