** Summer Transfer Window 2011/12 Season Rumours/Signings **

[Yas786]

Oh look, another striker. Is he going to replace Bendtner's spot on the bench?

LOL funny that in the past few yrs all i see is Wenger buying strikers, wingers or forwards but ermmmm what about the defence as well??...since the invincible season we havent really replaced any of those players that left us. And even more funnier is that past Arsenal players are saying that Wenger needs to strengthen that area as its our weakest. But with the departure of Fab and Nasri...it seems like every area is weak now

I guess the whole Cahill £6mill saga is done and dusted...4 more days before the window closes and yet no major signings for us...depressing stuff at the moment but im hoping against hope that maybe Mon-Wed Wenger pulls a few surprises out of the bag.

Me = eternally optimistic

Dammit, for a second I thought this was the lad at Bolton.

 

[Tom84]

LOL at Wenger signing another striker

Seems determined not to sign a midfielder or a defender

 

[Bloodshot]

About the same ego level then.

EDIT: Just read more about Chung. Apparently he was having a medical at Lille when Wenger phoned him. Perhaps we are holding him ransom in exchange for talks about Eden Hazard?

Doubt any deal for Hazard will go through this window; they just sold Gervinho - they won't sell Hazard unless it's for stupid money.

 

[SideWinder]

Another striker? :/

 

[Somnambulist]

Apparently we signed him because it's a doubt that Campbell kid we bought a week or so back will get a work permit. A slightly cynical view is that it'll attract more interest in the club from the Asian market. Also Bender is expected to leave so it's another one in, one out.

Coates is in the stands at Anfield. Cahill looking extremely average.

 

[Number_25]

Daniel Sturridge to Everton?

 

[Yas786]

Looks like Arsenal have stepped in for some young Korean, Park chu-young who plays for Monaco.

Also Sol Campbell wants to come back to Arsenal:

Weeeeeelllll tbh he has spent money but on players that arent proven....im hoping he does by Wed.

/me looks at Cahill

 

[BaZ87]

Coates is in the stands at Anfield. Cahill looking extremely average.

The guy sitting next to him (I think it's his Dad) was Malcolm Glazer's double.

 

[ins0mn1ac]

Please pull your finger out of your bum Wenger Please!!

 

[andy@moFo]

Ha. I was thinking that before. Uncanny.

Jol on transfers:

Jol saw a bid for Birmingham striker Cameron Jerome turned down earlier in the transfer window, while the Dutchman has also been linked with a move for West Ham's Carlton Cole.

Senegal international Pa**** Demba Cisse is reportedly one of Fulham's main targets and Freiburg chairman Fritz Keller says the club are considering three bids for the striker.

While Jol admits he would like to bring in an attacker before the Wednesday deadline, he also wants to bolster the squad in other areas.

"It is not only about strikers," he said. "Nine players left the club and there will probably be one or two leaving the club [by the end of the window].

"I am not only after a striker, you know. We need players for the numbers as well because we could not field a second XI [on Thursday], for example, so you have to field your best players all the time.

"That is not what you want and that is why we are trying to get players.

"We are very close [to making signings] but it is always the same, you know.

"If you want a good player there are always other clubs involved so you have to wait and see."

Asked whether a deal for Cisse was in the offing, Jol said: "As normal, we don't talk about that sort of thing. I don't say yes, I don't say no."

It would be more encouraging if it wasn't near the end of the window however

 

[Somnambulist]

Joel Campbell's dad has apparently told the media his son's work permit has been denied. Hence why we've signed this Park guy.

 

[ScarySquirrel]

I am so unbelievably happy with Chelsea's signings so far this summer.

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/14696496.stm

Chelsea have signed Mexico Under-20 international Ulises Davila.

The 20-year-old, who can play as an attacking midfielder or forward, joins from Mexican side Chivas Guadalajara.

Davila has signed a five-year contract after impressing at the Under-20 World Cup in Colombia, where he helped Mexico to third place.

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Park Chu-Young going to have a medical at Arsenal.

Is that a joke? I don't know much about him apart from he plays for Monaco and that he had a decent record with South Korea? He's awesome on FIFA too.

 

[BaZ87]

Is this the same Park that's been begging Liverpool to sign him all summer?

Not sure I haven't been following many transfer rumours. For people saying "yet another striker" I think we do actually need one. When RVP is inevitably injured we need someone who can play similarly, Chamakh is more of a target man and that just isn't how we play, plus he's been useless ever since van Persie came back from his injury. He's had chances to show he deserves a place in the team, but he hasn't taken them and he looked dire in pre season. He's slow, gets his feet mixed up too often and can't challenge in the air despite being about 6'2.
