These rumours do my head in at time I get to over excited ha.
Hearing no we're not in for Vidal we're going after William Carvalho?? Who I would prefer
You heard anything Eds??
{Ed002's Note - Try the search engine.}
28 Jun 2015 21:38:39
I've just been reading that all the Vidal rumours are not true.
Can you help us out with this Eds??
{Ed002's Note - I have explained the situation.}
1.) 29 Jun 2015 08:42:43
Let's hope we get him!
I'm going with the theory he crashed his Ferrari so he doesn't have to pay congestion charge!
2.) 29 Jun 2015 11:30:04
Lewy I've just read a round up of the lastest gossip and the source of each piece of gossip so for me nothing has changed from before.
The source I saw credited with this story of Vidal not joining us? If it said today was going to be a heatwave I'd take an extra coat and jumper out with me.
Like most rumours nothing will probably come of Vidal to Arsenal but on their part it will be pure coincidence not good reporting if that happens.
3.) 29 Jun 2015 12:07:08
Yeah agree G62 it's just recycled gossip from a month ago. Apart from anything else I just don't see wenger looking at him. of course he would most likely improve any team but who goes someone has to realistically leave for it to be viable imo!
21 Jun 2015 18:47:46
Hearing Cech is almost complete
1.) 21 Jun 2015 21:58:31
Cech, Good thing about the CDM there is a lot available out there this window! Any that we are linked with I would be happy! and if we get Jackson Martinez would be very happy... And real title contenders too
2.) 22 Jun 2015 09:47:49
Those three signings would be perfect for me. I think anymore could just disrupt the setup we have already.
3.) 22 Jun 2015 13:42:27
I read somewhere that Cech has agreed terms and that the only thing holding the deal back is agreeing a price. I hope we get him we really need a commanding stable GK.
Not to sure about Martinez, I think he has the right attributes for the PL but I've been wanting us to sign a real prolific striker for some time now and I'm not 100% sure he is the man but hope if we do get him he proves me wrong. Its not like there are many world class strikers on the market though atm and Wenger seems to rate him so who am I to judge.
12 Jun 2015 07:18:48
Hi Eds
Papers saying Jackson Martinez has agreed to join a European club could this be Arsenal or likely to be AC Milan??
{Ed001's Note - I believe he is set for Italy.}
1.) 12 Jun 2015 09:27:42
we may end up with no strikers this summer, but its better to get a player who is in for the long run, rather than a player who may or may not work and will only be around for 2-3 years, and will cost a heavy fee.
2.) 12 Jun 2015 18:30:55
I would not be overly concerned if we didn't sign a striker. Goalkeeper and ball winning midfielder are far bigger priorities when you look at the squad we have.
3.) 12 Jun 2015 19:48:44
Disagree. When you look at our squad as a whole to me it's clear that a clinical finisher is what we lack most. Coquelin has proved he's a more than capable ball winning midfielder, and Ospina hasn't done enough wrong to show us we lack a quality goalkeeper.
It's evident though that we lack a clinical finisher, the strikers in our squad haven't proved that they can bang 30 goals a season in, but players like Giroud have proved to be wasteful in front of goal, regardless of all the top quality work he does elsewhere.
4.) 13 Jun 2015 10:42:25
I appreciate what you are saying about a striker, but they can't just be a good finisher. Podolski is a superb finisher, and he's out on loan in a joke league. Why? Because he doesn't give you anything else. So what you're really talking about is top class footballer who is also a great finisher. And if one of those isn't available, I don't think we should sign a striker at all.
As for Ospina I completely disagree. I see evidence every game that he isn't good enough. Poor at coming for crosses, and shot stopping is not top class.
Coquelin was brilliant for half a season out of the 7 seasons that he has been with us. So we pin all our hopes on him, with no backup, and no option to play 2 holding players in big away games? Not for me.
5.) 13 Jun 2015 15:17:10
I do agree that an upgrade on our current goalkeeper situation would be lovely, and also signing a quality defensive midfield squad player to replace Flamini should be on our list of transfer targets, I would love us to get players all these for positions I'm not disputing that.
We are talking about proprieties here though and for me singing a 30 goal a season striker is the most important potion for me.
I look at it this way, if we went into the season with our current squad, of the three positions in question which players would be the least effective in their respective position? For me it would be that we don't have an out and out goalscorer.
Yes Coquelin had only had one good half a season but this was his first chance as our dm, and he's taken it with both hands and regardless of the length of time he's been effective you can't take anything away from him. He's more than proved he can play that role for us and be highly effective. As for Ospina for me he's a more than capable gk, and looks far more comfortable than shezza and I feel we would be fine going into the new season with just him if it came down to that
Like I say though, I do agree we need to target all 3 positions but for me a top quality striker is the priority.

Eds do you think Arsenal will push the boat out for Pogba??
How may signing do you expect to see this summer and what positions??
Cheers

Summer rumours do my head in hearing we've dropped interest in Vidal and now going for William Carvaliho who I would rather have if I'm honest.
You heard anything Eds??
{Ed002's Note - Twitter I guess.}

Nice to see Joel Campbell put pen to paper on a deal to stay with us
1.) 28 Jan 2015 18:40:20
I was just reading that on the club website, also noted that Bielik and Akpom are now in the 1st team squad.
See that Arteta has got another 12 months extension on his contract too.
2.) Glad about Arteta - I think he is badly underrated . He might not be the fastest in the legs but he is in the head.
As my old man used to say- it's no good getting older unless you get smarter
3.) 28 Jan 2015 20:11:44
Speaking of getting old.
We use to call our Grandad Spiderman.
He didn't have any super powers, just had a lot of trouble getting out the bath.
{Ed025's Note - my grandad had trouble getting in!!..
4.) When I get old I want to pass just like my grandad, peacefully asleep, and not screaming in terror like the passengers on his bus.
{Ed025's Note - love it EG..
5.) 28 Jan 2015 21:17:14
Love it Epping.
My Grandad use to suffer from arthritis in his feet, so my Nan use to rub lard on them.
He went downhill fast after that.
18 Jan 2015 18:38:51
That was Amzing to beat city at there place
1.) Predictable lol
2.) Yes its all coming back to me now, the feeling you get when you beat a top four team away. Its like meeting a long lost friend.
3.) 18 Jan 2015 21:32:16
Steve, love it.
14 Oct 2014 18:46:04
I agree Nordic
He starts a lot of attacks.
People like Ronaldo say he's the best No.10 they have played with
05 Oct 2014 20:56:02
Yet again Wenger plays Özil out of postion.
Why not keep the same team as in the week??
Thought we did ok today but we really need to be stronger and tougher didn't really look like scoring did we apart from Wilshire bad touch.
4th again it is then.
1.) We'd be lucky this time mate. too many teams have strengthened. we're faffin toothless and useless against the big boys. and the other boys are only getting bigger.

I've said it before I'll say it again we won't sign anyone else
21 Jul 2015 10:57:00
Eden I just don't get over excited no more I'm a big Wenger fan but he only ever buys enough he not buying to take us to the next level.
20 Jul 2015 20:57:57
We will not get any of them and things I'm hearing we won't be signing anybody else.
04 Jul 2015 08:17:55
I do Believe Cazorla will leave though a year left Wenger won't let a player of his quality leave for nothing
30 Jun 2015 15:00:24
Benteke is to similar to Giroud let's have something different
