Hi ED002. Firstly.... Happy Christmas. You seem to have a pretty good idea of whether players are available and as much as we all say things like 'why don't we buy x' the truth is they are not freely available.

My question is although Corinthians have bid is Pato a player that Milan would actually sell? Also would he look at the PL?

Know that you are meeved (that's short for 'mighty peeved') but know that there are few that would actually have an answer based on more than pro or anti Wenger sentient!

Also realise that you may not know but hopefully someone on this site will.

Hackney Gooner {Ed002's Note - Corinthians have offered Milan 15M euros and options on youth players Bubba and Edilson. PSG's interest has likely gone and a further injury might hasten his exit back to his homeland. However, Milan do not want both Robinho and Pato, who both want a return to Brazil, to leave in January unless they can secure replacements. So MIlan are happy to sell.}

Thanks ED002.

Hackney Gooner

He'd be a signing

i am posting here after like 6 months but have been reading the posts regularly and 3 days back i finally laughed after a long time cause the mighty ''MALAGA GOONER'' was back and we all know how lovely his posts are :D

Now on to main topic and i know people are gonna say i have lost it and stuff like that but i say we can still win the title even with this squad yes with no additions same as last year we were 15 points behind spuds and in the end we all know what happened and before anyone says anything about the rvp during that period he scored just 4 goals 2 against liverpool and 1 against the toons and spuds so y cant we chase down united's 13 point lead ???

Lastly to transfers IMO THEO wont sign the contract which is bad but he wont be sold as well so apart from that here is what i think is likely to happen

1 BA to ARSENAL and it should happen cause we really need a striker who has the pl experience and plus all the other targets we r linked r cup tied so cant play in cl what BA would be able to do so its a perfect fit

2 ZAHA this one i am not so much excited about tbh but WENGER likes him alot so it looks likely it will go and it will add to our BRITISH CORE :D so its a good think

3 ADRIAN LOPEZ he is a great player but has been overshadowed by FALCAO and wants a move and he will fit perfectly in our system and will add to our spanish stars

4 DIAME he can be our best buy of this window if WENGER goes for him and i really want him to do so since DIABY is out injured we have been bullied by opposition like 80% of time and this is where he will be helpful where u need your midfielders to bully opposition and wont cost much

5 LUKE SHAW i know this one will go down as a waste but he is a great player and if u r dubbed the next BALE then u will be something and another factor that SANTOS is almost on his way out will be addition to the squad and is again british which has become WENGER'S idea to build the team around british lads

6 YANG-MBWIA he is a perfect fit he is as versatile as u can get v=can play anywhere at the back 4 plus as the holding midfielder and he showed that while playing us in the cl he had SANTI in his pocket all the time so we need a player like him with the inury record we have -_-

now the outs

1 ARSHAVIN looks certain to go to reading i will be sad cause he is a good player miles better than GERVINHO but its time he goes

2 CHAMCKH (spelling) west ham want him on loan and its pretty serious and it looks he will go

3 SANTOS he will IMO be the 1st person out of EMIRATES in jan and i would be very happy

4 DJOURU he is going to go out on loan to NAPOLI with an option to buy

and this will be our transfer window
sorry for the long post hope u like it and comments r welcome :)

ARABIAN GOONER

You think we will sign 6 players during the transfer window?

Very much agree with Diame - I'd have been happy if he replaced Song when he left Wigan.

Think he is stating our targets.

Enough has been said about Ba.

Zaha is meant to be signing for man Utd and then being loaned back to palace.

Lopez I'm hoping not.

The others look interesting.

Arabian Gooner are you malaga gooners cousin by any chance haha

If we signed them 6 and sold those 4 i would run round the emirates naked

Zaha- yes
shaw- yes
diame- yes
lopez- no
Ba- no, he's going to PSG
MBiwa- yes
All sales-yes
Title- if man u drop enough points and chelsea and city do too

Ba and Zaha would be great if walcott don't sign. i want Ba to join even if walcoot signs but if walcoot signs dont see Zaha coming in the the Emirates

Just a quick word on walcott.

If he was to leave, hes most likely going to stay in england, i can't see him going abroad.

So there is 4 clubs he would possibly go to.

He wants to play centre striker role, so lets take a look at these clubs.

Chelsea - Have torres bang on form at the minute, no way would walcott play in front of him, and with lukaku coming back next year limited chances.

Lvpool- Just signed sturridge and always play with a lone striker of suarez, and he definitely wont take saurez's place.

Man utd - Vpersie, rooney says it all.

Man city - too many world class strikers there.

So imo, that is why he will sign a new contract at arsenal, he has a better chance at playing CF at arsenal than any other club.

25 Dec 2012 19:23:02
He'll have a nod at Chelsea.

Any club Walcott goes too he will be used in the same way he is at Arsenal.

Walcott ain't good enough to hold arsenal to ransom, get rid of the dead wood he won't get better. he seems to think he is the next henry, NEVER he will end up back at Southampton if he carrys on.

There are three clubs offering him 150k on the table...and his agent pushing for him to make the move...we will have to see how loyal he is...

Hope he move. Benteke or michu is better though we wouldn't get them this winter. Maybe llorente realistically.

Well thought through .... maybe you have something there. Hope so!

Sturridge and suarez, and walcott would be brill for lpool tbh, nice rotation...

he is also originally a lpool fan...

Today I read on a dutch news site that tottenham are ready to take sneijder for a fee of 12 million euros, why in christs name arent we bidding for sneijder hes top class even though he's 28. Oh forgot we will pbb be getting some french never heard off talent from a third devision club, my fault! {Ed002's Note - The Spurs story comes from a journalist speculating that a sale, not a loan, to Spurs may be possible - but I have no confirmation that it is true at this time. If a move for Moutinho cannot be put together by Spurs - most probably due to financial constraints - an approach to Sneijder does make sense. PSG and Fenerbhace remain two most likely destinations for Sneijder at this time although Schalke 04 have been packaging up an ambitious bid. Anzhi and Spartak Moscow retain an interest in him but chances of a move to Russia seem to be near zero. I don't know of any remaining interest from Manchester United. There is a very slim chance that he could make a surprise move somewhere else and discussions have been held with a club on a different continent, but I would supect that is something for the future.}

sorry to be stupid but is the game against west ham back on ,on the 26th as on many sites they are saying it is? {Ed002's Note - No, it has been postponed.}

25 Dec 2012 10:58:38
when is diaby back eds

I dont get it. how come we postponed the game due to the "tube strike" but somehow other london teams (fulham, qpr) do not have a problem with this and will play today?

25 Dec 2012 01:45:31
IN:honda, zaha, shaw

OUT:chamakh, arshavin, santos

Shaw IN-IN Saints team to beat Arsenal at St. Marys in January! Not leaving Saints in January, it may be Christmas but this is one present you will just have to do without.

Delusional saints fans bet you said the same about theo and the ox lol
HAPPY CHRISTMAS

No, we are not delusional, but we do know about the circumstances under which Theo and OC left, and we know the situation now with the club and with Shaw. You obviously don't and are just following media speculation.
By the way, which piece are you getting, as I understand parts are also on the way to Chelsea, Man. U and Man. City?

Why wouldn't he want to stay at the joint 18th club in the premier league o'yea how stupid of me!! p.s we will defiantly have the legs and head :)

Yes, how stupid of you-he wants to play football in the EPL, not be sitting around until Wenger decides he has been fully indoctrinated!

Demba Ba and Honda not Shaw and Honda even if there great players

I wouldn't mind robinhio or Pato but there both probably off to brazil I'd prefer Pato than demba ba he's simmilar to padolski and giroud were as Pato has flair and fluently wenger should take the risk and sign him

25 Dec 2012 01:21:57
id take robinho over pato as robinho suits our style of play

Totally agree

24 Dec 2012 21:42:04
You will find out if the ba thing is true if he plays saturday
