Arsenal Rumours Archive August 10 2013

Hey Ed. Been a while since I've been on the site. Just thought when I saw all the papers raving about us agreeing a £14m deal for Luiz Gustavo, that these reports had really come out of the blue. You got anything to clarify what's been going on there? Personally I think he'd be a great signing!

Also on Suarez, I heard recently that he's going to be handing in a transfer request this week or he's going to be making an attempt to void his contract. And something else about him not wanting to play under Rodgers as he feels he's 'untrustworthy' Any truth to any of this, or is there actually something going on behind the scenes?

Cheers!

Channel Island Gooner {Ed044's Note - Another Ed has posted this: Inter Milan, Arsenal, Wolfsburg and Chelsea are interested in Gustavo. He wanted to stay at Bayern Munich but they would like to see him move on and he now accepts this. He has agreed personal terms with Wolfsburg but they have not been able to agree a price with Bayern and are a few million euros apart.}

Yo man, channel islands is where I'm from aswell guernsey or jersey?

Me too, jersey :)

Hi ed. just wanted some clarification on something re Suarez. I heard an interesting theory that he could potentially buy out the rest of his contract at liverpool and then sign for us as a free agent with us reimbursing him the amount he paid them. Think it's clutching at straws personally but just wanted to know if somehow this was possible or what the rules around buying out a contract are? Any help would b appreciated. P. s love the site {Ed029's Note - It's bull.}

How is that bull? Some kind of explanation would be nice, because in reality you can buy yourself out of a contract, that's what happens just for a scaled down example with carphone warehouse.

And I read about a similar situation, can't remember who it was with though, and this exact thing happened. The player wanted to go, the club was blocking the move, he bought them out and his new club reimbursed him. So why is it bull? {Ed029's Note - I have never read such bollocks mate.}

It was Andy Webster mate {Ed029's Note - Rubbish. The Webster situation was nothing to do with "buying" out a contract nor with remuneration being paid by another club. The post was absolute trash.}

If that was the case all transfers would be done like that why would Rm be offering 85-100 mill for hairclip if they could just do this with him C'mon think about it

Hi ed, ever since I registered, about a week ago, my posts never come up. is there a prob? thanks {Ed044's Note - Try the banter page.}

Ed, you said try the banter page?
i have been posting on this site for ages but since you have got people to register its gone downhill. I don't post on banter page I post on rumour page so why would I look on banter page?
and why, if I post about 10 times only 1 post comes up? not complaining but just wondering why things have gone downhill so fast on here? maybe arsene is running this site now that's why things are so bad. {Ed027's Note - oh dear, if your post is not a rumour it will not go on to the rumours page

Lol thanks ed, i'm glad you took that post in good humour, as intended. thanks

hey ed cheers for all the updates mate. just got registered
heard arda turan might leave athletico this summer, monaco bid around 14.5m for him (just saw on another website)
have we shown any interest in him, lad like him can play at any position up front, thanx {Ed029's Note - Posted by another Ed002 on another page yesterday. No mention of AFC10 : There is sustained interest in Arda Turan from Germany with both Bayern Munich and Schalke 04 declaring they would like to take the player and from his former club Galatasaray. Both Chelsea and Monaco enquired after the player earlier in teh summer and Monaco has made a bid. Atletico Madrid previously rejected a move from Schalke saying they did not want to sell in January and they would ideally like to keep him for at least another year still.}
