Arsenal will not sign Rooney
Arsenal will not sign Adler
Arsenal will not sign Fabregas

Stop just believing everything you read possible signings are gonalons, higuian, sanogo, jovetic, Williams, corchia, mingolet.

You say don't believe everything you read then go on to name possible signings as all the players the newspapers have linked us with. Oh the irony.

So you didn't just read and regurgitate all the names you read in the press, you had a call from Arsene I suppose? Well done!


Willesden Gooner

Adler, Fabregas, Jovetic and Rooney are names the Press didn't 'find out about' until months after their "inception".

However you've named "most likely", the ones who're predominantly paper talk (Jovetic aside).

-Well played.

You should listen to your own advice

Jim Bean

Haha "Arsenal will not sign anyone mentioned in the press but chances are they will sign all of the people mentioned in the press"

He said don't believe "everything" you read. Give the guy a break. I agree Fabregas and Rooney will never happen. We only need more strength in depth and tweaks anyways

Detroit Gooner

I said POSSIBLE signings and this is a rumour site, I meant that the first three are rather unlikely for many reasons and the rest are more likely. Every player mentioned is paper talk apart from a few wenger has confirmed.
Scotsgooner

All good buddy. Just some good natured joshing ;-) A lot of those players are highly feasible.

Lol @ Ross

That comment was only in context to the rumour regarding Cesar no of us can provide final decisions on any player as we are not in the Arsenal board.

Yaya Sanogo signed for Arsenal on a 4 years deal according to L'Equipe. Good move from Wenger, the kid is worth it. That shouldn't prevent us from buying a proven striker hopefully.

Quite the injury gamble.

"In 2010 after impressing for French U19 side he suffered a double break of his leg playing for Auxerre reserves, which ended his season. By the start of the 2011 season he had successfully recovered, was playing again for the first team and earned a call up for the French U21 side.

Everything was going well, but just after scoring his first senior goal against Toulouse he suffered another setback, injuries relating to his original leg break would keep him out for another year. "

Decent looking player from what I've seen. A steal for whatever the compensation is. With bendtner chamakh park defo set to leave I would expect to see another forward to join after him

Once again our manager let's us down, signing an unknown player as cheap as possible, trying to be clever. Those who think we will sign another striker, established world class, sorry you're delusional. We will have giroud, podolski, this fella and cambell back on loan. I have had enough of it, fake promises and no trophies.

Go support another club if it bothers you that much. A expensive fee does not make a worldclass player. Don't get me wrong I would love us to spend big on a forward. But there are other areas more important. That's my opinion anyway.

Do you think we will get him, or it's a no go. (sanogo, geddit?)

Bedworth Gunner

Hasn't signed anything yet according to Wenger.

Injury gamble, but he was young when he suffered the leg break, so not as worrying.

Look at Rambo.

Either way its a free transfer and I wouldn't imagine his wages to be astronomical. he's coming from the second division in France after all.

Worth the investment in my eyes.

free transfer {Ed027's Note - The transfer is not 'free', we have to pay a compensation and other costs

Oh my Arsenal. Always always signing kids. That's why we have been without a trophy for 8 seasons. In life, you strike a balance! Nurturing the kids is great for the game and the academy but we need proven stars also to get trophies and encourage the younger ones. Barcelona does the same. They sign proven STARS. Fab4, Villa from Valencia, Mascherano from liverpool I think. Sanchez. name it. and also nurtured some kids that became stars. Messi for one! Iniesta, Fab4 also. We have got to start signing top top players also.! Cazorla and Poldi were good ones but we need more and need to avoid average players. Sanogo ermm. never heard of him but he could turn out to be a star also but is that really what we need now? another striker that will be shipped out on loan? Whatever happened to Joel campbell, Ryo Miyachi? Vela. all that promise! We need immediate action. We need to get made stars like Jovetic and Higuain so that the team can have stars that will help to encourage the nurturing of future ones. aaarghh Monsieur Wenger! so annoying but my heart is with Arsenal

You muppet that is our striker signing. crap signing

A lot of gonners wanted Zaha
Zaha total deal circa £20m
Sanogo total deal circa £6m
both untried both talented both a gamble
