Marquee signing to be kaka posted last week but didnt print the fee is wait for it 8m! Seems unbelievable but is going to happen real just happy to cut off the wage bill.

Thats unreal, not true wenger isnt gunna pay his wages hes on +170000 easy
Agree3

How do you know this? I find it hard to believe that arsenal would be willing to meet his massive wages. Do you not think arsene would want some defenders and midfielders?
Agree2
Disagree0
Sorry mate but Kaka is not marquee.
In fact, all 3 that have come in are all more of marquee than the former 'best player in the world.'
Well past it now and I think the competitive nature of the Prem would all be a bit much
Agree3

I just don't see the logic in signing Kaka. Yes he is a special player but I don't know if this will work.
Agree4
Disagree0
Kaka has been going down hill for 2 or 3 seasons now, hope we dont sign him as hes no the player he was in his prime. much better talent out there
Agree2

Viila fan doesn't make it less true............ doesn't really make it any more true either. You're chatting through you hat buddy

De Jong to join Arsenal. The kind of Solid Holding Mid-Fielder we have been in need of for 6 seasons now....watch this space.
Muncher.

Unbelievable96
Take it city are gonna pay half he's wages then?
Agree1
Disagree0
It would be nice to see man city return the favour, but I can't see this happening. Also, I'd choose Fellaini, Tiote, M'Vila and Capoue before De Jong.
Agree3

I so hope your right him or tiote from Newcastle

Yeah De Jong is well solid, remember when he like totally KO'd Xabi Alonso?

At the moment m'vila is a 50/50 to join as arsenal are unwilling to pay the price that rennes want, rangel is said to be the defender we are signing (but in my opinion is not good enough for arsenal). Llorente is supposedly pushing for the move to arsenal but again arsenal are unwilling to pay the amount bilbao want and walcott is expected to sign a new contract for around 85,000 a week but if he does not then he will be in a swap deal with daniel sturridge. As the rumour a few below said we are going to have a marquee signing and again i can not say which player it is because arsenal are keeping it completely under wraps.

Marquee signing hmmm...
Be a dream if it was gotze :)
be disappionted if not tbh, thats the kind of talent level i associate with the phrase "Marquee Signing"
But saying that Cazorla could be considered our Marquee signing, he looks magnificent
Agree3
Disagree0
Keeping it under wraps.....something arsenal should have done years ago!!
Agree0

I would take Fellaini as a marquee signing. He's the closest player I've seen to Vieira in the premier league.

Wally is better than sturry

I know they are professionals, but Diaby and Ben Arfa aren't exactly chummy

Not gonna happen, Ben Arfa and Diaby absolutely hate each other.

No need we will get belhanda next season

They don't hate each other. They had a little scrap n slang match at a French football academy when they were younger which was being documented on tv. But they have both come out and said they were young and immature and have both said they have great respect for each nowadays.

I broke the news that talks were far along the line for Schweinsteiger. My source has informed me that we have completed one BIG deal, however he doesn't know who exactly as the name hasn't been given. Now it's easy to assume that it is Schweinsteiger but it may not be the case as he has been informed that Llorente is pushing hard for a transfer to Arsenal.
He has been told that the club have been in talks with two other players and that we will definitely sign THREE players to be unveiled together by or on Fri.
The club have known all summer they wanted a marquee name and have held off for the benefit of the fans. The board and Wenger want maximum effect and to build excitement as a make-up gesture for last summer.
My source reckons either...
Schweinsteiger
Remy
Taylor (He's confident this is done but says it may be Mbiwa instead)
or
Llorente
M'Vila
Taylor (He's confident this is done but says it may be Mbiwa instead)
Things are likely to change as always. Essentially he says we WILL sign a Marquee/£20m+ player. He believes Llorente or Schweinsteiger.

Llorente is very close, this is from a very reliable source. Tote is the first choice dm but price quoted is too high at the moment.
AFC forever

I like your confidence by signing.. oh.. wait..
Agree0

Who is Taylor? Not much of a big name. Remy is crap so that's not exciting. Schweinsteiger? Would love to sign him but really can't see that happening at all.
Agree0

Schweinsteiger Is German playing for the best German team in history it doesn't get any better for a German than that

Noticed that tiote was not in the new castle team today. could have been out injured, not sure.

Ed why is my sign off getting cut out every time?
People giving me abuse for it. I'll change it if I'm not allowed the numbers...

Why definite? How do you know? You don't do you?!

At least you can spell definite
Agree2

Why Bojan?
He would bring something different to our attack. He's a lil fox in the box.
But I just can't see it. Is he not settled in Rome?
Agree0
Disagree0
Would love to see Bojan in a red shirt, looked a fantastic player for Barca, certainly a better player technically than Pedro, would definitely be a quality addition to our team.

Dempsey a good player made to look even better in a poor side come to arsenal and be like an invisible man, mvila and maybe another squad player I think will be ou only signings

WOULD BE AMAZING but i doubt it very much.
Agree1

First off learn how to spell second off this is never gonna happen Dempsey? are you serious too old not better than what we've got. We didn't sign sahin why would we sign either of those players.
Agree0
Disagree0
Not more Dempsey tosh ! Average player made to look good in an average team. Not the quality we should even consider. Now, please please please stop or at least be careful of what you wish for...
Agree0
Disagree0
I would prefer dembele but it's unrealistic. Dempsey to pool. Another loss
Agree0
Disagree0
Dont think wenger would sign dempsey now not after the way he has been acting the past couple of weeks,ljust got rid of players causing trouble dont think he would want to add another
Agree0
Disagree0
Dembele would be a great signing, dempsey no chance hes not good enough for us, better going for jelavic, goal machine

Sahin chance to Arsenal is small.
Mvilla will go to Emirates, because Rennes gets Jean Makoun from Aston Villa
Gooners from Indonesia

Errr aint he signed for Liverpools ?

How Can this be believable Sahin is at Liverpool therefore makes this rumour utter BS

He said it was a small chance, and at the time of the post Sahin was still up for grabs.

You would have to pay good money to get him
Agree1

He would be a great choice. Hes good in the air and on the floor, puts himself about and is a real handful. A substantial offer would b hard for Everton to refuse. Would love to see him at the emirates!
Agree1
Disagree0
Have wanted this to happen for a while but think it is now too late given the start fellaini has made, his price would be mega now
Agree0
Disagree0
He would be an exceptional addition!
Agree0
Disagree0
Be cracking if it happened, but I think it's too unbelievable
Agree0

Fellaini would be my 1st choice if we only got 1 more signing.
