The Official Winter Transfer Rumours Thread

[Jay29]

If by spending £42mil on a legit world class player you elevate to another level in the transfer market, then it's not a waste of £42mil. That's what it means.

[Raptorgunner]

The worst thing about our striker situation is Sanogo who cant even stay healthy. Its shocking Wenger is getting away with this, we have the money go and spend on a better back up.

What about everyone's favourite Joel campbell

Does Joel still at Arsenal? how can wc players like Giroud and Sanogo who are not match fit play ahead of him?There only explanation would be Sanogo had a better world cup than Joel.  

Sanogo has come from the 2nd division French league and has done almost nothing to become our 2nd choice striker. The man is always injured, and the funny this he started against some of the biggest clubs in the world.

[RealGunner]

Would start Joel upfront against Besiktas. He has played there before for Lorient, Betis and Costa Rica.

Or Akpom.

[RedMamba]

so spending 42M on say thiago silva who is 'more legit than ozil world class player', would that be wise use of precious and limited resources while the team carries giroud and arteta, or any world class player will do?

[Raptorgunner]

I understand Wenger likes to give players chance after chance but not at the expense of the club success. Wenger expects miracles from Girould and Sanogo which actually just adds more pressure on them than giving them confidence.

We have the money just bring in a quality striker, is embarrassing Wenger cant see how bad our strike force really is. the funny thing Wenger is saying we have so much firepower, and is trying to sell Podolski. The best finisher he has ever seen.

[EL Patron]

Still think Arsene persevere with Yaya and Sanchez upfront, i think he wants Campbell to be eased into the team.

I hope you are right. There is no reason why Jeol should not be starting next game.
There is no way Yaya should walk in to starting line up after being injured.

[Raptorgunner]

I have a funny feeling Wenger will get Kalou on a loan and brim back Kim Kalstrom.

[Sina]

Ryo with his Unreal pace can be converted to CF

[Chumlum]

I've groaned about the Kalou rumors that pop up from time to time, just like everyone else. And I doubt he'll ever end up in an Arsenal shirt. But to be fair to the guy, he seems to have done all right for himself the last two seasons at Lille.

[Chumlum]

Let's get a £36.5 million bid going for, like, Jordan Rhodes or Connor Wickham. #Ambition

[RedMamba]

There is no one worth getting this season, we'll find it difficult to dump him next year. a loan might be our best option, otherwise better to stick with current crop and get a DM instead.

[RealGunner]

Berahino for 15m

[6unner]

Please not another CF from the French league unless it is Falcao or Cavaini.

[Sina]

Firmino
not a proper CF but can be like when RVP first started playing there

will try welbeck on deadline day anyways

[Jay29]

We have enough "could play CF" type players already. It really needs to be a proper CF.

[RealGunner]

Cheeky bid for Fifa legend Doumbia

[Sina]

i meant as a project cause i dont believe any of those (Theo/Sanchez/Campbell) are plausible options to rely on consistently for CF
might start a project if you cant get ready made one
Gamble in any case

[Peccadillo]

So gutted about Giroud. I wonder if Juve will give us Llorente for Poldi.

[Peccadillo]

I'm pretty sure we are lining someone big up

Told you all that weeks ago mate

Expect Cavani/Falcao/Reus in a week. Along with Carvalho/Pogba.

I am confident we will make another big signing before the window closes, it really feels like Wenger wants blood this season. It'll probably be a last minute thing and come after the second leg Besiktas game and of course providing we qualify.

Lisbon apparently willing to take 24.5m for Carvalho btw;
http://metro.co.uk/2014/08/25/arsenal-could-move-again-for-william-carvalho-as-sporting-lisbon-reduce-demands-4844886/

What would people prefer (strictly theory of course)

Carvalho + Remy OR
Cavani

[Twoism]

G. Rossi, M. Klose, Gomez, Kieslling ( lol scout for Bender), legendary Bony, Eto pick your poison, stop gap solution ftw

[MJ]

I don't think it would come down to it as we have plenty of cash and more if we sell Poldi and qualify for CL

But I'd go with Carvalho and Remy. Depth in two key areas, one that hasn't been addressed in like 5 years too.

[MJ]

Rossi's injury record is scary, Klose would only work as a loan deal and even then, he's aging.

Gomez isn't fully back yet. Kiessling has a good mean streak but Idk if they'd let him go on loan.

Bony was too expensive for Liverpool, doubt we'd have fun negotiating for him.

Eto'o I guess wouldn't be an awful one year signing.

[Twoism]

Heh that's more like a joke from me you know either old, over the hill, injury prone or overpriced. Always bad idea to go for striker this late in window, stop gap solution is never good, case in point Park.

[Raptorgunner]

Even a striker on loan is good enough for me, as long as he is not injured.

I hope its not too much to ask from Wenger.
