Angel Di Maria looks to be an imminent singing for £24 million and a £20 million bid is being considered by arsenal for cabaye but in my opinion it would be more logical going in for Ilkay Gundogan who is rumored to be avalible for £25 million as he can play in a variety of positions including CDM and can break up play

Believable31 Unbelievable23

Couldn't agree more, Gundogan would be a much better signing it's just whether he would be willing to leave Dortmund

Agree2 Disagree0

Im happy with that

Agree0 Disagree0

100% agree with you on the Bender part

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry Gundogan. But hey either or.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry, but how did you know he was "available" at 25M? From what I know, DVB won't sell another star after losing Gotze and most probably Lewandowski after

Agree1 Disagree0

Gundogan is better and I agree. But Cabaye is also a good signing too.

Agree1 Disagree0

I'm not sure I would say his arrival is imminent, he will have to agree personal terms for a start. I would think that Real Madrid will accept our bid though, as they will want cash to balance the Bale deal and possibly to fund a move for Suarez.

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal set to seal the transfer of Bulgarian Wonderkid Todor Nedelev from Blotev Plovdiv.

Believable23 Unbelievable32

This actually sounds quite likely. lofty ambitions indeed from the arse!

According to a website, Real Madrid have reportedly approved a bid for Angel Di Maria

Believable22 Unbelievable31

Please be true!!

Agree2 Disagree2

But he doesn't want to play for us.what a mess.

Agree0 Disagree0

What is this website called?

ed do you think they're is a chance of signing di maria? {Ed044's Note - Yes mate.}

Believable38 Unbelievable28

Wat if u go for Mata instead of De maria? They will prob cost same and Mata is proven EPL player and can play for us in left or center of midfield.

Agree1 Disagree4

Di Maria is a superior player to Mata

Madrid are nuts to consider his sale

Do it now

Agree1 Disagree3

I'm sure it's more complicated but I wish players like this we just show our finiancial power they talk about and give them what they want and pay the player what he wants and do it quickly! If only that simple

Agree1 Disagree0

Seems like bendtner is fairly certain to move.

Once again we are selling our best players.

Believable56 Unbelievable31

And in his case, not before time.

Agree1 Disagree0

If we are only finishing 4th we cannot expect to keep the best player in the world.

Agree3 Disagree0

There you go wrong again! He is not just one of our best players, he is the best striker in the world! Some respect please.

Agree1 Disagree0

Oh come on get serious what are you thinking? This is yet another of those defeatist messages that riddle this site.

Bendtner one of our best players? Come on we all know the truth. He is more than that he is a talisman, Henry meets Bergkamp, as he modestly says the greatest striker in the world.

On the back of Djourrou (did anyone else think the Tony Adams of our time?), Chamakh (think Ian Wright), Santos (the power of Lauren, the speed and loyalty of Cole), and others we are in danger of ripping the heart and soul out of this once great club.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why sell him, can't we just give him away?

Agree0 Disagree0

Real Madrid are happy to sell di Maria at €30mil.

All about whether di Maria is interested and can agree personal terms

apparently we had talks with `cabaye representatives last night for £16 million transfer
source daily mirror .

Believable26 Unbelievable21

Worse than signing Flamini IMO. £16m down the drain. We don't need Cabaye, we need a CDM.

Hi Eds, just a quick question - do you think there is any truth in this speculation about Mata? I think he's probably one of the best players in the EPL. {Ed001's Note - no I don't. Chelsea won't stand in his way if he wishes to go, but they don't want to sell him and I don't believe he wants to leave. They just want cover for his injuries.}

Believable6 Unbelievable23

William is very good cover!

Hazard
De bryne
Mata
William
Oscar
Lampard
Essein
Mikel
Moses

They all can't play

Agree3 Disagree1

I think there might be a case Chelsea will sell Mata because they currently have 18 Non-homegrown players over the age of 21 and you're only allowed 17, and with the latest rumour they want Eto'o as well, then they have to offload at least 2 non-homegrown players before end of transfer window cause they can only register 17!
I think they will sell Mata, and if Eto'o comes in they will sell Ba as well!

Agree1 Disagree4

I think one of the Eds said that moses was availble

Agree1 Disagree0

Moses is "Homegrown" and wouldn't matter in this case if he was sold, they need to sell at least 1 "Non-homegrown" player, and my best odds go to Mata cause it looks like Mourinho doesn't think he fits in with his type of play.

Agree0 Disagree2

Moses is leaving, that leaves us with 6 attacking mids to fill 3 positions. The perfect situation for any manager with 2 players fighting for 1 spot in theory. If Mata leaves it will be to Spain. Forget that one, you can have Moses if you want though. A step up in your transfer business so far don't you think?

Agree0 Disagree1

Any truth in the Ozil rumours? Absolute worldy player IMO.

Believable25 Unbelievable41

One thing I know, is not one transfer prediction has come right off this page so far.
So just be patient and see what happens. nobody on this site knows any more then you do.
He is a worldy player but probably too big for us. United would try sigh him if he was available as they are after a playmaker.

Agree4 Disagree0

26 Aug 2013 11:40:42
Guys, seriously! All the rumours about us signing any player from RM, as much as they would be great signings, it's not going to happen! After what happened with Higuain, I doubt very much that we will try and do business with them any time soon! AW does not like being mugged off, and he is very very stubborn, as we all know!

Agree1 Disagree0

Totally agree, just wondering if the ed's knew of anything concrete as I would absolutely love him here.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wages are an issue. Özil wants to increase his to £60 m a year.
Arsenal won't pay that much

Agree0 Disagree0

Not £60 a year. It's supposed to be £6

Agree0 Disagree0

Ladies and gentlemen. I know full well I will get stick for this if it doesn't happen.

I will just relay what someone told me. They said by close of play we will sign the following players:

CB - Ogbonna (backup Sakho)
CM - Kondogbia (backup Cabaye)
AM - Thauvin (backup Grenier)
ST - Suarez (backup Rodrigo)

Might be all wrong. Sharing is caring though eh?

Believable15 Unbelievable91

I'm sorry are you Malaga Gooner in disguise? So apparently we're going to get Ogbonna who has literally just joined Juve and if we fail with Thauvin we'll sign Grenier who has just signed a new deal at Lyon and we'll sign Suarez even though Wenger has said there's no chance of it happening? and as for Rodrigo we can only dream!

Agree1 Disagree0

Sakho over Ogbonna for me. Would love that though, hope you're right because 99% of people who have heard something are wrong. But let's hope for the best, I think Rodrigo over Suarez because Suarez won't happen and that list becomes pretty realistic.

Agree0 Disagree1

You can definitely rule out Ogbonna as he just moved to Juventus a couple of months ago.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hasn't Ogbonna already signed for Juventus? Suarez will only go ahead if Madrid offload Benzema to us as they need the funds due to Bale purchase.

Agree0 Disagree0

I just want to see kondogbia in an arsenal shirt he would be the best signing we could make! Or at least the most important!

Agree2 Disagree0

Ogbonno signed for juventus so that is him out if the equation

Agree0 Disagree0

Ogbonna just signed for Juventus ace.

Agree0 Disagree0

Your mate is well wrong then as Ogbonna signed for Juventus in July so you already started off wrong.

Also Arsenal won't be back in for Suarez unless one of 2 things happen, 1 he finally hands in a transfer request or 2 Liverpool indicate they'll sell, so that ain't happening either.

finally he's not interested in Rodrigo, he wants a proven big name striker & he's far from it.

Agree1 Disagree0

Ogbonna just moved.
Kondogbia is going to Monaco.
And Suarez won't move.

Agree1 Disagree0

I would run down the street naked if that happened!

PS It would be a very "unbusy" street in a small town at 3am :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Your damn right you'll get stick! One of these is possible!

Wenger said no suarez deal
Ogbonna was offered a trail and said wenger should have some respect and he's also just joined juve
Grenier has signed a new contract with Lyon.

Agree0 Disagree0

Guys I didn't say it was good info. I just said I was told by a friend. Not sure what the hostility is all about. This is a rumour site I believe and whether it is accurate or not doesn't really matter I just passed on a rumour I was told.

As I said in original post I don't believe it.

Agree0 Disagree0

@mhc the hostility is due to everyone getting stressed and wanting to know what is going on. When someone comes in and posts stuff which is impossible, you've got a group of bears with sore heads waiting for someone to jump on.

Agree1 Disagree0

Flamini has turned down an offer of a contract at Arsenal, citing limited playing time as reasons not to join us.

Believable74 Unbelievable21

Lol flamini kicks us in the teeth again! When will we learn! If we can't sign him what hope do we have .

Agree0 Disagree0

Flamini was never offered a contract. He personally asked Arsene to train will us to get fit for this season, as he currently has no club.

The press putting 2+2 together yet again and getting it horribly wrong!

Agree1 Disagree0

If this is true then surely that would suggest we are getting in another DM as with our current squad and the injury problems we have at the moment I'd assume Flamini woild get a decent amount of game time?

Agree0 Disagree0

Hmm another made up storey as news now are saying that flam has more or less signed for us

Agree0 Disagree0

25 Aug 2013 23:15:44
Bid accepted for both Benzema & Di Maria for a combined £55m.Just ask Malaga Gooner

Believable37 Unbelievable75

It's believable in it's stupidity

Benzema still has to face court re using the services of an underage prostitute

He's facing 3 years. Would you sign him knowing there is a chance he'll be in prison?

Won't come to that though, but court still needs to be completed

Agree0 Disagree0

If Malaga says so its good enough for me :)

Agree1 Disagree0

If they play to their potential that would be a quality strikeforce for palace and could keep them up. Both players are capable of 20 goals a season. If they could take Park too that would be great.

So di maria will cost 25 mill and benzema 30? Figures are.massively undervalued.

For around 65 mill it would seem more of a possibility
