Hear that fellaini has signed a 4 year deal for £22m

Rubbish

Reports are that no transfer's will be completed untill after the 30th of June as key staff including senior medical staff are on holiday. That's probably why the two kids arsenal have reportedly signed have yet to be officially announced.

Made up based on a bit of speculation

I very much doubt that we will sign fellaini.

Martinez still says no to him going and the player is on holiday. Nothing has been signed

He has, just a shame its for united and not us

Don't think so but papers reporting that arsene not willing to meet 23m buy out clause. Hope this is not case as think he would be a great signing. Come on arsene start spending for Christ sake and get it done along with other targets so we can hit ground running in August.

It isn't going to happen. We are Arsenal supporters through and through and we know that the next month or so will bring nothing. No inspiring signings. No change from Wenger then. Like GG before him, he will not see a player earn more than he does!
Maybe a couple of bright prospects, but no stellar signings. I'm retired, but turn on the Mac. every morning with youthful anticipation for some good news, only to be met with eg. " Arsenal baulk at Fellaini's £23 m release clause". See what I mean? You get what you pay for. Quality players cost. The current Board/ Management can't change their mind-set. No one would be happier than me if they did.

I just read on a website, he is scared arsenal will wreck his 'dream' move by not activating the release clause. It also said the clause was £23m and not £22m

Lets hope so.

I wish it were true. Alas, reports are saying that Wenger thinks the release price is too high! Will this stubborn Frenchman never learn. I can't think of a more suitable player to play the defensive midfield role. Can you imagine Fellaini & Arteta covering the back four & allowing the likes of Wilshere, Cazorla, etc to play their stuff.

If the players have signed why would the ataff being on holiday have any affect on it being announced?

Same old story - Season ticket renewal time = broken promises!

Can't see Arsenal paying £22 or £23 million for a defensive midfielder. Expect an unknown or young lad for that position. If it was a striker maybe but not a defensive midfielder.

Daily Mirror story is BS, plain and simple.

This "info" came from someone up north likely associated w/ EFC who knows nothing.

Paper didn't even know the Release-Clause (22m GBP for CL clubs, 24m GBP for Non-CL clubs) so they put 23m to cover themselves.

AFC have spoken with EFC it IS def possible for Fellaini to come although obv not certain.

If there are any truth to the rumour, maybe we are pushing feillani to hand in a transfer request or publicly announce he wants to leave. transfer request means he would forfeit his loyalty bonus thus bringing the cost of the transfer down?

No Mate it was Fellaini who insisted on that release clause not Everton, so why would he hand in a transfer because it's to high? If Arsenal want him their just have to going to pay the money as there is no way Fellaini will hand in a transfer request and rightly so as there is more than just one club in London.

he won't go to united. it'll be abroad or arsenal.

The source I got this from is an ex football agent. He is 110% adamant that this has happened.

Lars Bender currently has a 12m buy out clause, Arsenal are working on bringing him in as a possible replacement for Coquelin.


Arsene Wenger met Higuain's Father twice, a week before the Newcastle game and later in Paris on Sunday. A deal looks to be all but done and we are offering a better package for the player than Juventus. Once Madrid appoint a manager the deal should go through.

Bendtner is close to completing a deal with German club Borussia Mochengladbach. (BILD) bild are reliable they first broke poldi to us months before anyone else

If the £12M clause is true that would be a great signing added to Higuain would be more than happy

We may get higuain and arsene might get lars bender. I hope we get them

Bild aren't reliable they are the German equivalent to the sun

Bild Zeitung is even worst than The Sun.

They gave us Podolski before anyone else

Two signings I can say are in progress Fellani and Higuain. Cesar will be completed after International duty.

Bender is a quality player, I can't help but feel that if he had a buyout/release clause of just 12m then he'd have been snaffled up long ago. Be amazed if BL demand less than 20m for him.

These are the 3 signings I really want. Fingers crossed!

He is young and excelled well recently only.

Bild is pushing a couple of stories daily, some of them turn out to be true, but I would not call them reliable at all.

Is Lars better than Sven - Lars has more Germany caps but Sven has had a more prominent club career so far with Dortmund?

Bild reliable? I guess that's coming from a Sun reader.

I think higuian deal is very close bender deal would be a very good piece of buisness

El Shaarawy of AC Milan may be leaving his club this summer should there be enough interest according to the Milan president.

I don't think we will sign him, he seems to be a player who would rather play his football in Italy or a club renowned for its wealth (I know we have money to spend, but obviously we are not known for it like the Mancs or PSG are for example!)

He would be a nice addition however.


ASEG.

Any interest in Dzagoev? looked good in the Eurocup.

There was after the euros last year mate but I think we've stopped looking at him now
