Marquee signing to be kaka posted last week but didnt print the fee is wait for it 8m! Seems unbelievable but is going to happen real just happy to cut off the wage bill.

Villa boy (although villa fan doesnt make this any less true)

Believable19 Unbelievable97

Thats unreal, not true wenger isnt gunna pay his wages hes on +170000 easy

Agree3 Disagree1

How do you know this? I find it hard to believe that arsenal would be willing to meet his massive wages. Do you not think arsene would want some defenders and midfielders?

Agree2 Disagree0

Sorry mate but Kaka is not marquee.

In fact, all 3 that have come in are all more of marquee than the former 'best player in the world.'

Well past it now and I think the competitive nature of the Prem would all be a bit much

Agree3 Disagree0

I just don't see the logic in signing Kaka. Yes he is a special player but I don't know if this will work.

Agree4 Disagree0

Kaka has been going down hill for 2 or 3 seasons now, hope we dont sign him as hes no the player he was in his prime. much better talent out there

Agree2 Disagree1

Viila fan doesn't make it less true............ doesn't really make it any more true either. You're chatting through you hat buddy

Agree0 Disagree0

De Jong to join Arsenal. The kind of Solid Holding Mid-Fielder we have been in need of for 6 seasons now....watch this space.


Muncher.

Believable24 Unbelievable96

Take it city are gonna pay half he's wages then?

Agree1 Disagree0

It would be nice to see man city return the favour, but I can't see this happening. Also, I'd choose Fellaini, Tiote, M'Vila and Capoue before De Jong.

Agree3 Disagree2

I so hope your right him or tiote from Newcastle

Agree3 Disagree0

Yeah De Jong is well solid, remember when he like totally KO'd Xabi Alonso?

Agree1 Disagree0

At the moment m'vila is a 50/50 to join as arsenal are unwilling to pay the price that rennes want, rangel is said to be the defender we are signing (but in my opinion is not good enough for arsenal). Llorente is supposedly pushing for the move to arsenal but again arsenal are unwilling to pay the amount bilbao want and walcott is expected to sign a new contract for around 85,000 a week but if he does not then he will be in a swap deal with daniel sturridge. As the rumour a few below said we are going to have a marquee signing and again i can not say which player it is because arsenal are keeping it completely under wraps.

Believable8 Unbelievable60

Most down to earth, realistic comment I've seen on this site for a long time!

Agree2 Disagree2

Marquee signing hmmm...
Be a dream if it was gotze :)
be disappionted if not tbh, thats the kind of talent level i associate with the phrase "Marquee Signing"
But saying that Cazorla could be considered our Marquee signing, he looks magnificent

Agree3 Disagree0

Keeping it under wraps.....something arsenal should have done years ago!!

Agree0 Disagree0

I would take Fellaini as a marquee signing. He's the closest player I've seen to Vieira in the premier league.

Agree4 Disagree0

Wally is better than sturry

Agree2 Disagree1

My mate works at st james park and apparently there is intrest from araenal for ben arfa ( donk know how reliable) but i Would love to see Ben arfa at arsenal

Believable21 Unbelievable60

I know they are professionals, but Diaby and Ben Arfa aren't exactly chummy

Agree3 Disagree2

^like Diouf and Warnock but they're at the same club...

Agree3 Disagree0

Not gonna happen, Ben Arfa and Diaby absolutely hate each other.

Agree2 Disagree1

No need we will get belhanda next season

Agree1 Disagree0

They don't hate each other. They had a little scrap n slang match at a French football academy when they were younger which was being documented on tv. But they have both come out and said they were young and immature and have both said they have great respect for each nowadays.

I broke the news that talks were far along the line for Schweinsteiger. My source has informed me that we have completed one BIG deal, however he doesn't know who exactly as the name hasn't been given. Now it's easy to assume that it is Schweinsteiger but it may not be the case as he has been informed that Llorente is pushing hard for a transfer to Arsenal.

He has been told that the club have been in talks with two other players and that we will definitely sign THREE players to be unveiled together by or on Fri.

The club have known all summer they wanted a marquee name and have held off for the benefit of the fans. The board and Wenger want maximum effect and to build excitement as a make-up gesture for last summer.

My source reckons either...

Schweinsteiger
Remy
Taylor (He's confident this is done but says it may be Mbiwa instead)


or

Llorente
M'Vila
Taylor (He's confident this is done but says it may be Mbiwa instead)


Things are likely to change as always. Essentially he says we WILL sign a Marquee/£20m+ player. He believes Llorente or Schweinsteiger.

Believable44 Unbelievable60

Nope m'vila or any dm and if we're lucky a relatively cheap cb or st

greg

Agree2 Disagree0

If you were certain of this you should hav signed off the post.

Paul - Rochester

Agree4 Disagree0

No chance no chance no chance!! Remy mabey but i dont think we'll sign another striker wenger is to stubborn

Agree2 Disagree1

I would love love love a big big signing I know the three we got so far are mega but it seems the football world are taking the p#ss out of us for losing RVP and song . We need a big signing to let the world know we are here gor a fight ! Up the arsenal 3-0 stoke

Agree1 Disagree1

What a load of crap....

Berkshire gooner!

Agree3 Disagree0

Apparently wenger said he will make two more signings.
soure: SSN

Agree0 Disagree2

Schweinsteiger, no no no no.

Remy is interesting though, been quite on his front all Summer. Wenger is a known admirer?

Gilo

Agree1 Disagree1

I sign off every time Paul but it keeps getting cut out.

My sign off is below this:

Agree0 Disagree0

Llorente is very close, this is from a very reliable source. Tote is the first choice dm but price quoted is too high at the moment.

AFC forever

Agree1 Disagree0

I like your confidence by signing.. oh.. wait..

Agree0 Disagree0

Who is Taylor? Not much of a big name. Remy is crap so that's not exciting. Schweinsteiger? Would love to sign him but really can't see that happening at all.

Agree0 Disagree0

Schweinsteiger Is German playing for the best German team in history it doesn't get any better for a German than that

DD

Agree0 Disagree0

Noticed that tiote was not in the new castle team today. could have been out injured, not sure.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed why is my sign off getting cut out every time?

People giving me abuse for it. I'll change it if I'm not allowed the numbers...

AFC-Noel {Ed007's Note - I have no idea what you mean Noel, sorry. There is nothing wrong with the sign off here.}

Agree0 Disagree0

The original post here is the exact one made by 'truegooner' from the arsenal teamtalk page.it was unanimously hammered for being utter tosh!

Believable16 Unbelievable56

Im sure somone said the same thing a week or so ago

Agree1 Disagree0

Agree0 Disagree0

I really, really hope this is true! Class act. Why so sure?

Definite ins of this Windows

Angel Rangel
M'Vila
M'Biwa

Possible ins
Bojan

TheITKGuy

Believable16 Unbelievable75

Why definite? How do you know? You don't do you?!

Agree4 Disagree0

Do you know what the word definite means?

Stezza.

Agree5 Disagree0

At least you can spell definite

Agree2 Disagree0

Why Bojan?

He would bring something different to our attack. He's a lil fox in the box.

But I just can't see it. Is he not settled in Rome?

Agree0 Disagree0

Would love to see Bojan in a red shirt, looked a fantastic player for Barca, certainly a better player technically than Pedro, would definitely be a quality addition to our team.

Agree0 Disagree0

we will sign 2more players dempsey and dembele spread the news you heard it forst
spongebob

Believable12 Unbelievable74

It goes from bad to worse! Not only do you persist in using phrases like you heard it here first but now it's 'forst'.

Wheres Patrik and Mr Krabs anyway?

Agree3 Disagree1

No chance. Is this just guess the player game? Are you bored, is that the best you can come up with?

AFC forever

Agree1 Disagree0

Dempsey a good player made to look even better in a poor side come to arsenal and be like an invisible man, mvila and maybe another squad player I think will be ou only signings

Agree2 Disagree1

Wafflecake son

Agree0 Disagree0

WOULD BE AMAZING but i doubt it very much.

Agree1 Disagree0

First off learn how to spell second off this is never gonna happen Dempsey? are you serious too old not better than what we've got. We didn't sign sahin why would we sign either of those players.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not more Dempsey tosh ! Average player made to look good in an average team. Not the quality we should even consider. Now, please please please stop or at least be careful of what you wish for...

Agree0 Disagree0

I would prefer dembele but it's unrealistic. Dempsey to pool. Another loss

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont think wenger would sign dempsey now not after the way he has been acting the past couple of weeks,ljust got rid of players causing trouble dont think he would want to add another

Agree0 Disagree0

Dembele would be a great signing, dempsey no chance hes not good enough for us, better going for jelavic, goal machine

Agree0 Disagree0

Sahin chance to Arsenal is small.
Mvilla will go to Emirates, because Rennes gets Jean Makoun from Aston Villa

Gooners from Indonesia

Believable23 Unbelievable58

Errr aint he signed for Liverpools ?

Agree0 Disagree0

How Can this be believable Sahin is at Liverpool therefore makes this rumour utter BS

DD

Agree0 Disagree0

He said it was a small chance, and at the time of the post Sahin was still up for grabs.

Heard arsenal have enquiries about Fellaini but Wenger was knocked back no offer made yet. Let's see what happens.

Fy_gunner

Believable14 Unbelievable56

Love this 2 be true

Agree1 Disagree0

You would have to pay good money to get him

Agree1 Disagree1

He would be a great choice. Hes good in the air and on the floor, puts himself about and is a real handful. A substantial offer would b hard for Everton to refuse. Would love to see him at the emirates!

Agree1 Disagree0

Have wanted this to happen for a while but think it is now too late given the start fellaini has made, his price would be mega now

Agree0 Disagree0

He would be an exceptional addition!

Agree0 Disagree0

Be cracking if it happened, but I think it's too unbelievable

Agree0 Disagree0

Fellaini would be my 1st choice if we only got 1 more signing.
