Rumour about Jefferson Montero joining Arsenal for about £3m. Don't really know him, but it doesn't rime with worldclass signing.

Anyway, let's see if it comes true

Sincerely
Aros

Niether does bale, coinsedence? I think not!

Agree0 Disagree0

He is from Ecuador, he plays in México, he is a great player, europe level, but obviously not a solution, he plays any wing

I have heard a rumour today which, to be honest has got to be total rubbish, I hope. We are apparently interested in Soloman Kalou. Eds please tell me someone is winding me up, surely this can't be true.

Believable20 Unbelievable31

That will finish us off got and proper, is anybody doing anything??

Agree0 Disagree0

As a back-up/bench player I think he'd be good, especially with the injuries to the team. He did well for Lille last season, can play both wings and is at present playing as a centre-forward for Lille. Apparently he has a release clause of a couple of million. What's not to like?

Obviously the caveat would be that Kalou shouldn't be a first-team signing.

Agree0 Disagree4

He would be an awful signing, no point getting rid of Gervinho only to replace him with Kalou.

Suarez deal is not dead apparently. we will have to wait another two days to find out.

Di maria could happen as the draxler deal may fall through. It involves poldi and 26 mill according to Twitter folk. Schalke should reject it.

Regarding guvogali from st Etienne. Athletico Madrid have. Had a 10 mill bid accepted. We bid 8.6 apparently not sure if we will bid to match.

Real offering kaka as stated on papers. Arsenal will use that as last resort I guess.

Other legendary top quality names are Gareth Barry and kalou.

Juan Mata representatives have contacted Barcelona and a move there could make cesc available. Just hoping United buy fellaini and herrera so next season they can try buy a defender and not cesc. I expect this to happen in Jan if at all.

Believable27 Unbelievable51

I can catagoricaly tell you that suarez to arsenal deal is more dead than freddy mercury!

Have heard Arsenal will make a raid on either Chelsea or Real Madrid on Monday. Chelsea targets are Mata, Essien and either Torres or Lukaku. Real madrid transfer targets are Orzil and Di Maria.
The reason Tottenham are delaying the transfer of Bale is so Arsenal have less time to work on transfers with Real.

Believable36 Unbelievable50

Cant see it mate, sorry

Agree1 Disagree0

I can see Essien and Torres if we come up with the money. But don't expect we will for them or anyone else. Hargreaves and Upson are the ones to watch

Agree0 Disagree1

Could well be

THIS IS A 100% GENUINE POST.
Yesterday 30/08/2013 an ex Arsenal player TOLD an ex Chelsea player who are still in contact with each other that we are NOT signing anybody. Don't ask who these players are as it would not be right as one of them still works at the Emirates. But they were two very very famous players.Where did I get this info from? Well the ex Chelsea player is my long time best mates cousin. I've got nothing to prove in posting this just passing it on to you all. Make of it what you will . But this is WHAT WAS SAID!

I have also herd that wenger and gazidis have been offered 5m each if they can get 4th without spending this summer from kronke, hope I am wrong, but its so bad its believable.

Agree0 Disagree3

Well my brothers friends cousins uncles sisters sons great grandfathers plumbers apprentices father says you're full of BS!

Agree4 Disagree1

Sure it wasn't your Uncles Brothers Sisters Nephew?

They have no idea. Lee Dixon seems to think there will be two players . Name the players!

Agree1 Disagree0

Whatever about the op but sal get a life

Agree1 Disagree0

Naaaaaaaaaaaaaaa 5million isn't anything to those 2, why would Wenger risk his job for a sum of money less than his salary

Agree0 Disagree0

Frankly I wouldn't be surprised- that is what saddens me the most.

Either way, we will know soon enough.

Agree0 Disagree0

Despite the fact you posted today we're signing a player called nichts? Awesome.

Agree1 Disagree0

Don't need any contacts to know that this is true. All the players they are trying to bring in have either said they don't want to come or we are not offering enough or their wage demands are too high. Wenger is sticking 2 big fingers up at Gazidis for what he said about our financial power and is showing him that "I, Wenger am still the Big Daddy at this club" But Bendtner is LANS

Agree0 Disagree0

5 mil not to buy? That's a very sad rumour to start, I disagree with a lot ofArsenes ways, decisions, opinions and ways but his honesty! That's far far to far to go

Agree0 Disagree0

Let me guess it was Ian never Wright & Tony personcarino?

Agree0 Disagree1

Guess theyv lost that 5 mill then because theyv already signed 2 players :-/

Agree0 Disagree0

At best. At BEST, then it was an OPINION which was shared and not a nailed on fact.

An opinion to which I would disagree.

More likely, someone lied to someone who believed it and then told someone else who believed it just as much and that person KNEW someone who would never doubt this piece of gospel and somewhere in there is YOU.

. then you posted it on here but NONE of us believe you!

3 points tomorrow!

COYG! FOYG!

Agree2 Disagree0

Who really gives a rubbish now mate, the summer is gone, whatever is going on behind the scenes is clearly not all as it seems and any players flashed about in the papers don't wanna join! If Arsenal end up without any new signings it will hardly be surprising news to anyone. We are in for a tough season with a thin squad and any slip-ups will increase pressure on board and Wenger. Which unless he comes away with at least one trophy I can't see him extending his contract.

Agree0 Disagree0

arsenal in talks with madrid over a potential move for Di Maria. bt its understood that the player has already agreed personal terms with Galatasaray.

Believable16 Unbelievable43

IF true- that doesn't mean he can't agree personal terms with us as well.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why are they talking to him then lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Galatasaray can't afford 30mil€

Agree0 Disagree1

We are rumoured to be negotiating with Schalke over the transfer of Julian Draxler, fee £40M

Also considering a bid for Kaka!

Are we after every RM player?

Believable30 Unbelievable71

Apparently shalke want 60mill for him. Said that's even his worth. It won't happen.

We should be getting sahko!

Agree3 Disagree0

Yet another one for AW and SK to say they TRIED to sign!

Agree2 Disagree0

I thought his buyout clause was around 38 mill. but yeah won't happen anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal will bid 18m for in form Villa striker Benteke in a deal that could see Bendtner go the other way also we are in talks with Kaka who ould cost up to 14m

Believable14 Unbelievable95

Benteke signed a New contract this summer, won't go much cheaper than Suarez this late.

Agree4 Disagree1

I think Wenger has sold Arsenal short this year the way things are progressing in the transfer market your marquee signing isn't going to materialise, however Wenger might pull something out of the hat but leaving it so late will cost a lot more especially as Tottenham are delaying letting Bale leave!

Agree0 Disagree0

How do you think Villa will accept 18m for Benteke when they have already turned down bigger offfers from other clubs!!

Agree0 Disagree0

18 mill + the worlds greatest player? For a £30mill forward that Bentekkers is. That rates Bendtner at £12mill. Bargin!

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont see this happening, Benteke is going nowhere and as painful as it is to say neither is Bendtner. I am utterly shocked that Wenger has even had the balls to say he would use him again! We are a mess!

Agree0 Disagree0

The player from Germany Arsenal will be announcing is Matt Hummels for a fee of £22m, will be announced on Arsenal.com tomorrow lunchtime when the press conference is scheduled.

Top thinking from wenger if true, top player like gunnels at the back would challenge any cb pairing in the prem including vidic/ferdinand. Build from the back is the key

Agree3 Disagree0

I hope this information is magicly real.

Agree1 Disagree0

Yeah yeah! keep dreaming we are signing no-one!! no one!!

Agree3 Disagree1

Jesus Christ u must have wengers phone to be that confident on the timing. Wele soon see. Prepared for abuse if u get this wrong

Agree2 Disagree0

Absolutely no chance they wouldn't sell him and why would he want to join a club that struggled to finish 4th while his team where fighting for the league and got to champs league final

Agree0 Disagree0

I would do a poo from excitement if this were true. Sadly, it isn't.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hummels is too error prone, so perfect for Wenger.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cannot see this happening at all. in this market he would command a much higher fee. The German player is by a lot of sources Draxler, but we won't sign him.

Agree0 Disagree1

Cause it will b :/
more chance o signing matt smith dan hummels ffs

Agree0 Disagree0

Well the time has been and gone and no announcement so you tried to punk us but we did not bite

Agree0 Disagree0

Josuha Guilavogui will be perfect for Arsenal - a defensive midfielder and also emergency cover as center back. Arsenal in £8.5m bid - hope it goes through.
