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

[DBT85]

Sky Sports reporting Arsenal are in talks with Hargreaves.

:FACEPALM:

DO NOT SIGN HIM!

If he is on a pay to play deal then why not? It's not like you have a lot of options and it would only be on a year contract. If he doesn't play then he costs you nothing and doesn't keep anyone else out. Same as Owen for United.

isnt mertesacker crouchesque in terms of his size?

if so just what we need at the back

I think he's HUGE, but he's got a bit of meat on him unlike Crouchinho.

 

[Hxc]

Owen Hargreaves to Man city you what.

 

[Rameses]

Surprised we haven't had another Sneijder rumour over weekend, maybe we'll have a surprise breaking news tomorrow.

 

[Burned_Alive]

We desperately need an experienced creative midfielder, Wilshere can't be relied on for every game.

BREAKING NEWS: Joe Cole linked with Arsenal switch.

lol mertesacker is a mountain

 

[Biz.Kid09]

Really happy with the Hargreaves signing, can provide some great cover for midfield and has a lot of champions league experience, something Barry/Milner dont have.

It will be a pay as you play i imagine so we really cannot lose on the deal.

 

[K1LLSW1TCH]

Wouldn't mind Hargreaves on a pay as you play deal, he could be a good acquisition and he'd bring some much needed experience and a winning mentality.

EDIT: Has he signed for City now then?

[The_One]

wtf is that to rival the crouchie robot

 

[Biz.Kid09]

EDIT: Has he signed for City now then?

Pretty much a done deal, would be very surprised if he didnt end up signing.

 

[The_One]

he'll fail the medical

 

[Rapier]

Can't really see the point in Hargreaves going to City, surely he needs first team football. A move to someone like West Brom on a pay as you play deal would be perfect as he could go to a Champions League team in January if he plays a lot of games.

 

[Rapier]

he'll fail the medical

He's had the medical

 

[Somnambulist]

Would he positively affect the UK/homegrown quota thing?

Arsen to break the bank

Under-fire Arsene Wenger bowed to fan pressure for silverware today and made an audacious bid for Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

After losing 8-2 to the Red Devils, Wenger finally succumbed to fan pleas to spend big to win trophies and put in a offer of £32million to the Old Trafford hierarchy in a bid to get his man.

“I believe Sir Alex has the qualities we need to win trophies,” said a philosophical Wenger as he faced the press after his team’s mauling at the hands of Man U.

“He has not only spent big, but has also spent wisely. He could well do a job for us as we look to win some silverware.”

It is understood Wenger has offered himself up as a make-weight in the deal.

“For us to concede five goals to Manchester United in one game shows Sir Alex has what it takes to move Arsenal onto the next level,” said Wenger.

When it was pointed out Arsenal conceded eight goals, the Frenchman replied: “I saw only five. So it was five-two in my book.”

Macheda from ManU apparently. Wouldn't say no to that
