Haha we could bid 40m each and i'm 99% sure those 2 players wouldn't leave Dortmund for us. Atm its a step down for them.

How can people say they disagree with this comment, there is a "rumour" that the two will come to us, doesn't mean they will, but the fact is it is a rumour.

We need to spend £200m to improve this total load of rubbish - or spend none and get rid of Wenger. No more excuses, we are just crap and there is absolutely no hope of European Football next season!! I fear for the worst when we play Bayern we will get slaughtered home and away.

Would be surprised if these two players agreed to the move.

This a caught offside rumour, so it has no truth whatsoever

There is talk arsenal want Gonzalo Higuain from real madrid fee to be around 25 million, I sure myself arsenal are in the market for a big striker.

Let's get serious for a second. Why would Arsene try to sign a striker when we've got Giroud? After all Arsene said that he chose Giroud over Demba Ba. In Wenger we RUST

We know wenger won't buy big players but we need to break the bank and buy an out and out striker otherwise we are in big trouble.

L'Equipe claim Gourcuff has been offered to clubs in England Spain and Turkey with Arsenal set to make an offer this will only be a loan deal, we live in hope

Why live in hope for a player that has been at best mediocre the last seasons?

Gourcuff is lazy, has a poor attitude and is way off form. Wouldn't touch him with yours.

He used to have all the potential in the world, but as stated above the guys career has been in a death spin for awhile now.
I'd rather see Eisfield promoted. {Ed002's Note - He has really struggled with injury.}

arsenal to go for Borussia Dortmund pair Mario Gotze and Mats Hummels which will relieve us of 55m (the 30m bid was for mario therefore Hummels will cost 25m)

We need a winger with some creativity and not a headless chicken (gervinho)
The defence needs numbers..

Florian Thauvin and a late bid for adaptable m'biwa will be our only signings this window.

I was under the impression that Newcastle had agreed a fee for Yanga M'biwa

They have but that doesn't mean he has agreed terms. And from what I have seen Thauvin is just as good as Lopez and is also left footed.

If you think about it it all adds up, goetze saying he'd only play for arsenal or barca, most papers saying we'd attemp to sign him in this transfer window a few months ago, having a reported release clause of 30m, us bidding 30m for an unknown player... Mario's an arsenal player.

Goetze said his favourite clubs other than Dortmund were Arsenal and Barca. It also was quite a while ago. By now he wouldn´t even think about leaving Dortmund. And why would he? He absolutely loves his coach (rightfully so), he plays with his two best friends (Reus and Sahin) and his team has soundly beaten City and Real in the CL and is well on its way to even bigger things, because it features world class players: Hummels at the back for one, and there might not be a better strike force in all of football right now than the combination of Reus, Lewandowski and Goetze. If you haven´t seen them play, take the time to do so. You will be amazed. Dream about someone else. He won´t be found in the middle of that mess that our Arsenal has turned into anytime soon.

Do you honestly believe that to be true Cheetah? Seriously...

I feel we are really missing out on Mbiwa.
Its not often a good defender who is tailor made for this league becomes so easily available.
7m for a defender who has all of the attributes our defenders posses together.
Especially since Djourou and Squilacci seem to be leaving. We have three OK-good centre halves, but two of them seem more like plan be types of options with LK6's pace and PM4's height. Mbiwa has both of those at those particular aspects of the game.
Believable47
Unbelievable12
He does not have the height of PM4, he is 6ft about the same as LK6 and TV5
Agree0

20 Jan 2013 12:29:15
By that I obviously meant he has the arial ability. We all know he is not 6 foot 5.
Were you just posting for the sake of contradicting someone?

3 "OK"? centre backs? Vermaelen is "OK"? The German captain, Per Mertesacker is "OK"?
Agree0
Disagree0
^ yes they are ok! Terry, Ferdinand Vidic, Agger, Cahill, all much better defenders, can't be bothered to post more names.
We need to stop thinking that because they play for us there the best defenders since sliced bread.
(can't wait for the abuse on this one lol)

I agree with the comment above, we have 3 quality centre back in pm, tv and lk

PM4, too slow to catch a cold. This guy was quality in both games against us, once as a centre half, once as a DM. Really hope we can get him.

Pull your finger out AW. MBiwa is exactly the player we need and you are letting him go to a side who are currently in a relegation battle and he is only going for 6.7 million.
Also don't know of anyone else has seen the papers today which are suggesting that PSG want Wenger and will offer a deal totalling 30 million in all for him. With Ancelotti coming our way.
I was just wondering what people thought about it and who would replace AW

Aaah the world famous 'manager swap'. You have Wenger we'll take Ancelotti
Happens all the time.

Not Ancelotti anyway

Nothing wrong with Ancelotti

Ancelotti would never be a good manager at Arsenal, never worked on a budget and never had to build a team from scratch
Agree0

Michael Laudrup, will be our next manager. Has the Arsenal style philosophy
Agree0

Roberto Martinez will be the next manager of Arsenal.

To the laudrup poster. Good call for laudrup! But what is the arsenal way? Win nothing for years and battling for 4th? We used to play great football. We don't Anymore!

For me.. Wenger stays. Arsenal are linked to just about every footballer that has a name, but I really think the best signing we can make right now is David Dein. Wenger's lost his mojo a bit and I think he's tried to take on too much. Dein proved successful for us in our transfere dealings on the past and I think it's time to bring him back
Agree2
Disagree0
Just a thought, but could it be possible - Wenger knows he might go and therefore is not interested in signing any good players for us, as we seem to be missing out big time
Agree0
Disagree0
Wenger won't leave Arsenal for another club.
Agree0

About the David Dein thing, hell yeh!
His son seems to be one of the big agents. We need him on board.
Agree0

If you want a manager who can build a team on a budget and still get results then surely David Moyes is our man? Worked wonders at everton this season..
Agree0
Disagree0
Unfortunately Wenger's going nowhere. Thanks to an owner and board of directors who couldn't care less about footballing matters as long as the cash continues to roll in, the man's got a job for life. Even when we fail to qualify for the CL this season they won't sack him. Be interesting to see what happens once reality hits home, the season ticket renewals dry up, the prawnies in club level stop forking out and we're playing to a half-empty stadium every other week with no CL TV money coming in.

Hi ed, friend of mine who is an arsenal fan and works at heathrow saw arsene in terminal 4, at heathrow, on Thursday. He wasn't plane spotting or doing a bit of mini cabbing to supplement his income, but he was definately there. This is no b/s, but to quote rafa "fact". Sounds like arsene may be doing a bit of schmoozing on a potential target, trust he was there. Del monte
