Greeny I was just wondering what your prepared to give up for us to get Bender Cesc and Balotelli this summer?
Dont be trying use old appendix thing again that's just so last season, I'm thinking 3 teeth and maybe a toe from each foot?
What do you reckon mate? Its a small price in the grand scheme of things

I will take one from the team although as I am not sure about the teeth!

Take as many toes as you like. Possibly an ear? They're quite big!

Great attitude Greeny mate, I think giving up an ear for the team is perfect choice because at the CL final next season every time I offer you a pint you can say that's OK I've GOT ONE EAR MATE

Very good G62.

Not heard that one before.

I was having a chat with a mate at work today and he was saying the most frustrating thing about Arsenal and Arsene Wenger in the transfer market is the fact that Arsenal are just 3-4 quality players from competing on all fronts.

Usually this time of year (season ticket renewals etc) were linked to every star player with two legs and a head.

Recently we've been linked to Danny Welbeck, Gareth Barry and Kasper Schmeichel?!

Is this the calm before the storm? Will we actually sign "top, top players" with "zee quality and pashion" required to play for Arsenal.

Or will we sign a load of Knock Off Nigels?!

Fair post Greeny but hopefully this transfer window will be different mate.

Arsene, its time to reward our patience.

8+ years of scrimping and saving has the world and his dog believing we can't, won't! don't spend money.

If that hasn't changed come this summer and we don't get those players we need then I seriously doubt we ever will.

It's the club and Arsene's chance to do the deed, spend the money and buy the right players.

I for one am sick of this conversation with other teams fans year after year after year.

It's become impossible to believe as a fan of Arsenal that any transfer window isn't going to be yet another excrutiatingly painful, ever lasting, desperate yearning, praying to the god of early transfers period where we are driven crazy waiting, waiting, waiting, waiting!

{Ed025's Note - maybe the ozil signing will be the start of something big jen, the board are obviously not scared to pay big money if its needed, so lets see what this window brings, you never know, it could be massive..

Can you imagine it now.

Four quality signings such as Benzema, Gundagon, Greizmann etc.

Wenger drops £100m and all deals concluded before the World Cup kicks off!

Us Gooners wouldn't know what to do with ourselves!

Afternoon all, just a (intended to be but probably won't be) quick question.

There's a lot of media outlets now saying Fank De Boer is the favourite for the Spurs job.
Now, that's all well and good, but a few have posed the question, would be bring Dennis Bergkamp with his as assistant.

Now, I for one highly, HIGHLY doubt Den would do this, he still loves the club!
He's one of us forever and I don't think that'll change.

BUT, my question being, IF he did, IF he ended up wearing the Sherwood-esque track suit on the sideline of the pit down the lane.

What would your personal opinions of him be?

Peace

Still and always will be a legend and fan favourite for me.
if he does go to work as number 2 it will be
1.de boer convinced him.
2. its just a job
3. a stepping stone to get to arsenal

I really can't see it happening if De Boer goes to the spurs then Dennis will take over at Ajax with Overmars still as technical director.

Agree with Baz 100%

Dennis will not go to spurs

Have heard from a very reliable source that Bergkamp is going to be Everton manager and Roberto Martinez is coming to Arsenal.
Martinez will work alongside Wenger next season than Wenger will retire and Martinez will take sole charge the following season.

Malaga its very Naughty to hack into DG's account, now say sorry and never lat it happen again.

Dags, your reliable source being Malaga?

Lol,
Well done, rumbled straight away gents

Just my take.

last year Wenger stated Cesc would not be moving for another year. (did he have a personal chat to find this info, that cesc was giving it another year)

considering he did not spend money, probably because if cesc was available he wanted to bring him back?

our net spend last year was not 42.5 mill it was less.

so with bendtner, fabianski, sagna, possibly Arteta leaving and who knows who else is up for sale, that would clear up a lot of wages. Poldi possibly on his way out?

we know that we are trying to go in for a DM in the size of lars bender.

we also know that draxler is no longer of interest, I don't see us spending 37mill and he will likely join bayern a year from now as Jan aage fjortft has stated.



So bender, drmic to replace bendtner, cesc depending on how that first refusal works, does it mean if Manchester United bid 50 mill for him we have to match it? cause then we may lose that battle. and a key striker is necessary. Benzema, balotelli one of them.

Hopefully Puma plays a major role inf bringing cesc back. Can say the same about balotelli. Although i'm not going to cry if he does not come.

Ox Ramsey Bender Cesc Ozil yes very please with sugar coated extra grateful jam on top.
Balotelli too?
What a summer that would be

If you could compare any member of the Arsenal set up to a shop/store which ones would they be?
Lets start off with the obvious one .
WENGER. Poundland

They would all be items in pound land.

besides Ozil who would be that odd object in poundland which costs 5 pounds.

Cazorla-- Tesco.

Every little helps.

(Sorry for a 'height joke).
