Hi all, anyone know anything about midfielder Jordy Clasie from Feyenoord?
Apparently we were in for him but he just extended his contract....

Ed, any news on damiao or remy ? {Ed001's Note - none that I know of, nothing new anyway involving Arsenal yet, though both players are likely to move either in January or the summer.}

I hate to burst everyone's bubbles but i think we can all forget about any major signings in January for the pure fact that most of the players we are linked with will be club tied for the Champions League. I know it will give our squad more depth and give are regular first team players more well earned rest, but i don't see Wenger buying the likes of Gotze, Hazard or Gorcruff in Jan if he can't play them in the CL - and he wont want to give them too many big games in the PL till they get more experience in the league.... so it would be pointless no to wait until Jan.
The most likely buys would be Podolski (becoming less likely), Vertonghen and Van der Weil.
P.S. With the likelyhood of Podolski not coming to the Arsenal, who else would you like to come as RVP's back up? I personally wouldn't mind Doumbia or Gomis

What a ridiculous argument. Did you forget about Arshavin? He was cup-tied And why wouldn't they play in the big games? It's not like they're 18 years old! They're top players.

Gotze is 19 and Hazard is 20!!

Podolski becoming less likely? Dno what your sources are or where you're getting this; but Podolski coming is becoming increasingly MORE likely as the days/weeks go on.

"Gotze is 19 and Hazard is 20"
You didn't read what I wrote afterwards. They're top players. We're not talking about a young player in the mold of Miyiachi or Campbell. These are players that have already won titles, are integral to their current team, and are quickly approaching world-class, if they're not already there. The fact that they are cup-tied means that they'll play more in PL.

Personally you wouldnt mind doumbia or gomis who will both also be cup tied for the CL....bit of a contradiction here dont you think?
Agree0

You said we won't sign cup tied players and vertonghen and van der weil are both cup tied and said we would sign them...

Doumbia is worth more than podolski lol and ed has said both are likely

Have to say I completely disagree with the idea that we should forget about Goetze and the argument about this silly champs league carp. That is no excuse for passing up the opportunity of a generation like signing Goetze. If you need a player desperately because your squad is that depleted that you need to bring someone in in order to continue on a campaign eg champs league, then fine, don't sign someone who is tied. But not signing Goetze who would become the future of this club because he can't play in the champs league for a few months? Pffft. Any wise manager, fan and businessman alike can see that that us an invalid argument for a signing like Goetze.

Goetze would be a LONG term signing. He would be playing for Arsenal for at least the next 5 years if we were to buy him hopefully longer.
You really think Wenger will give up buying Goetze just because he can't play him in the Champions league?!
Apparently Dortmund have just said we need to fork out 30m. I'd bite their hands of if I was Wenger. 30m... He is already worth that and in a few years time... I mean he will be worth Ronaldo money.
By the way another point... Doumbia and Gomis are both cup tied in the champions league!

I don't see wenger buying gotze and hazard either.... I was at sainsbury's and I saw him buying onions not gotze.
But podolski is less than doumbia you know !
Gotze is a typical signing.
The prices of youth players are going up but...

I agree with COL get pato but also bring in gotez and m'villa. gotez is the top young player in the world besides wilshere and could be at the club for a long time also m'villa would be a backup for song

Even if they are cup tied this year they can still play in it next year
