Very reliably informed the only deal Arsenal are now working on is Arteta. Still some way off a deal but wheels in motion #bbcfootball #afc

Mikel Arteta looks almost certain to join #AFC from #EFC. Some haggling still to do but where there's a will ..

:mad: :mad: :( :(


I think I'm going to cry!!!
 
Can't help but think Arteta for £10m is a bit of a waste for Arsenal. A poor mans Fabregas, who's past his best and struggled with injuries over the last couple of years.

Gerrard falls into the same criteria doesn't stop you keeping him and not saying he's a poor mans Fabregas? :p
 
any sign of m'villa signing?

Highly unlikely...Hazard and M'Vila wont be signing for us as nothing is being reported by the SSN guy at Emirates...maybe the Jan transfer window might bag us those 2 or a few other decent players...but fact is Wenger needs to get some depth in the squad and not with these unproven youngsters.
 
If he waits this late, and again won't stump up an extra 1-2mil, we're no better off than a few days ago.

We had attacks against Utd and scored, but Utd were playing in a way that they simply weren't afraid of losing, and weren't defending very well with Evra/Smalling bombing forward, and Evans, who is incredibly ****.


Best case scenario, Wilshire is back for the next game, worst case, he's out all season, in which case while Arteta is no Hazard/Mata and won't ever be, he's infinately better than the NO ONE WE HAVE NOW. What have we spent now, 12mil Gerv, 2mil park, 10mil Mert, 6mil Santos? Thats barely Cesc's fee, what about Nasri's, what about the 35-40mil we had before we sold anyone, what about Eboue and bendtner money. We should frankly still at this point be able to offer 25mil for m'vila and Hazard, and our board should put up the extra 5mil for each transfer if they really won't accept less than 30mil. Gervinho, Ramsey, Song, Wilshire, Theo? Will be our best line up, and only then if Wilshire is fit?

If we're only bidding for Arteta, I don't see how we can possibly sell bendtner, or again, why on earth vela was loaned out.

His best years are behind him but he's not a poor mans Fabregas; they're completely different styles of player for a start. Cruicially though, we're not signing a player in that situation, we're just choosing not to sell him. I wouldn't want Liverpool to sign a player for any significant fee that's on the decline and crocked.

And I actually said last summer than from a business point of view it would have made sense to sell Gerrard to Madrid :p
 
Uchhh, ****ing SSN. We don't need funds to sign Drenthe, he's coming in on loan!


AS are reporting we're getting him on loan, he has 1 year left on his contract, we then have first refusal on him to sign him for free. So if we sign him and then sell him RM will get a % of that fee.

Haven't heard much of him, good signing?

Sky reporting yak having medical at Blackburn.

As in his agent will give us the chance to offer him a contract before anyone else. Or something a long those lines.

Small, very fast, seems to have a lot of skill. Was great a few years a go, named U21 Euro-championships player of the tournament or something. He's going a shocking attitude though apparently. We'll see though.


Yakubu is having his medical as SSN said. They are the first to mention a fee though... £1.5m hmmm. That little would be appalling!

sounds promosing, shame bout attitude.

Didn't we reject a 3mil offer from foxes for the yak?
 
Yea, I can see that being useful if another club is willing to offer him more money than you ;)

Obviously going to happen. :D

No we accepted, but he didn't want to play in the Championship properly.



Rumours abound that Arsenal did offer cash + NB52 this morning, but Everton rejected. Moyes doesn't like him and would only consider cash.
