Casillas, ramos, raul, pavon,
1 player in 15 years and he was already nearly 20 when he was signed for over £20m.
Giving youth a chance?
Casillas, ramos, raul, pavon,
I suppose at least its genuine competition for DDG, rather than Amos or Lidegaard
Its not exactly a long deal - 18 months - just hope DDG isn't put off by someone like that being signed given how little left he has on his contract (rumours are that he isn't, but rumours are rarely believable)
So we've pretty much signed Valdes then (for 18 months). I hope De Gea signs a new contract soon...
League One and the Championship, I would argue, are much better than the Scottish Premier League.
Mark Schwarzer joined Leicester City:

but what wages will Valdes be on? And he's not even very good. It's a truly bizarre signing imo.
No doubt Campbell will stay and not get played yet Sonogoals will get a loan.
We need a short term GK option and a CB and DM. But the last few signing we have made in Jan have been Arshavin in 09, Miyaichi in 11, Eisfeld in 12, Monreal in 13 and lets not forget Kallstrom.
Hardly awe inspiring is it. I doubt we will sign anyone regardless of "the right quality for the club" same old Arsene - talking ****.
Do you think Campbell is actually good? In all the games I've seen him play he's done pretty much sod all and can't pass for ****. He had a good game at the World Cup where he scored a goal and he's been dining out on that since.
I wouldn't say good, but his performances whilst on loan at gala were impressive.
He has hunger and works his butt off, I just think the past couple of Arsenal appearences he has lacked match sharpness. He hasn't been played nearly enough.
I can't see him as ever being a top player but maybe a good squad rotation player if he ever gets the chance properly. With the current crop of Arsenal midfielders I can't see him having that chance sadly.
True, match practice has been a bit lacking but I'm yet to be convinced. In contrast Podolski would look good when he came on despite only playing the odd game and we got rid of him.....Wenger lolz
