It's so strange not knowing who to believe in the transfer window. I read a story MONTHS ago in the Mirror about City chasing Fernandinho, trying to get him for £20m.

A few months later I read in the same paper that the deal was being held up due to an increased price to £40m.

About a month ago, maybe a bit over, I read the story again - City in talks to sign Fernadinho. Two to three weeks later they signed him.

You just know if this had been a story about Arsenal, the player wouldn't have signed for us!

We all know that other team doesn't have scout teams. After so many times they outbid us, Arsene started to keep his cards even closer, so I don't think that many people know who our real targets are. Ofcourse always there is some real info out there in all the sites and blogs, but we can't know forsure. I love rumour madness in the summer, but I know that with Arsenal no one can give us true info.

P. S. I remember that last year someone hear posted info about a spanish international joining the club weeks before the papers. And a week before the transfer was revealed on the official site the same person posted again that the spanish international would be cazorla. The only thing I don't remember about this is whos was tha chap, what was his nickname :D:D Maybe the Eds could help here :)

BGGOONER you're right somebody did say that, they said we'd be signing a spanish international and that we'd all be surprised/not have a clue who. They were bang on. I think it was the same person saying Song would be sold, and it may come as a surprise to know that there is a big chance that person was malaga gooner! But I am not 100% on that.

I am pretty sure that it was not Malaga gooner who first brought to us the info. He was someone not regular here. {Ed027's Note - It was Ben, who is another who got stick for no reason, and has now left
