Read on twitter that man city are preparing a player swap deal with Arsenal for RVP, with Adam Johnson and Lescott to go the other way- Sound plausible or utter BS?

Can't see it, lescott is 29 and would want big money, Johnson id take, but I'd we bought him, not in a RVP swap, that said his wages are probably high.

D

If they give us Aleksandar Kolarov instead of adam johnson and i'd be up for it!

What nonsense!

Adam johnson
lescott
de jong
snatch your hand off

Absolute utter bull!!

Utter BS.

Ted

Highly unlikely.

Not highly unlikely, IMPOSSIBLE!

Johnson wouldn't make the team better.

Doubt Lescott would be willing to drop down from guaranteed first team football - and possibly a pay cut. Still a great player though.

Johnson would be great but I can't see where he'd fit into the squad with the players we have in his position.

Mike

I'd take dzeko and lescott, pretty unlikely though

Read on twitter.. knew it was bs as soon as I saw this

Who will pay their wages?

Ash

Twitter= bs

Lescott is another predominantly left-sided CB, same went for Vertonghen, with Vermaelen & Koscielny both more comfortable on the left hand side of the CB pairing, Lescott is not an option. We also have 3 number one CB's, Lescott wont want to be considered a reserve. We have Ox, Walcott, Gervinho, Podolski & Miyaichi for the wide positions, so Johnson is a no go. I believe we will want £30m for RVP, but will accept £25m, which is viryally the cost of Giroud & Podolski.

Deffo bs, any way i wouldent accapt it if it were true

Done deal

It's up on the Arsenal.com too , hope he puts on some boots when plays mind !!

I thought couldn't officially sign until 1st July.

It's probably like a pre-signed contract.

Just the formal contract cannot be offically signed until 1st that is all.

He cant sign a pre contract because his still under contract ,dont you read eds replys.dont know why you bother ed.... {Ed027's Note - we bother for wonderfull people like you

I think you'll find they can sign a contract commencing on a certain date with permission of the selling club.

Looks like someone questioning the eds knowledge looking forward to the reply

That's right you can buy at any time with the consent of the selling club but the player cant be registered outside of a transfer window

So does the silence mean the eds were wrong ? {Ed002's Note - The transfer cannot be completed until July 1.}

I understand that july 1st issue..but you said they cant sign a pre-contract whilst under contract..so someone is wrong ? {Ed002's Note - They have not signed a pre-contract. Why is this so difficult to understand?}

Its not ed,the fella above said they can ,and no ed came back and said they could not im with you on this just tell the other fella his wrong then thankyou...

{Ed002's note - your wrong mate above, you cant sign a pre-contract even with the sellers say so under contract } there you go ed easy.......

Giroud announced on the website.
Truly getting stuck into the transfers this year!


D

Makes a change. We need to avoid at all costs the panic last minute buying of last year. Need to give the new signings a
pre season to settle in.

I love it, bendtner has attracted 'global interest' ! Sunderland again presumably!

Some of them up there do seem to be once different planet.

Steve Bruce loaned Gyan out because Gyan slept with his daughter.

Ben X.

Lol ben.x gyan made his own loan deal to make him lots of money

"Global interest?" What from football clubs or from travelling freak shows and circuses?

Ignasi Miquel to join Brighton on loan.

Good he needs that. i watched him against Liverpool last season.hes got some promise!!

I'd have Miquel in the back four ahead of Squillaci, Djourou & Mertesacker (and ahead of Gibbs at left back). We might come to regret this given our injury record, but at least he'll get regular competitive football.
