Mata will not be leaving Chelsea

It was a random french journalist that started this rumour with a tweet which he then deleted, just an attempt to get a rumour running, dad and agent were probably not even at the Emirates.
Agree4
Disagree1
That is exciting
Agree0
Disagree2
That would be a signing and a half
Still need a striker, CDM, centre half, goalie and winger
I would still like Suarez as he can change a game
Cesar, Sakho, Flamini, Mata and Suarez
Flamini being free opens up options elsewhere
Agree2

Yep he was definitely there, wenger confirmed it tonight. he was in directors box so he must have been invited by wenger or the board. read into it what you like but would love the little magician in an arsenal shirt. the man is a pure footballer.

Heard rumours he is signing for Fenerbache.
Yes Wengerism, it was a joke.

Maybe his dad is just an arsenal fan, try not to read to much into anything, saves you from getting upset
Agree3

Hell yea he would be amazing for us, and be loved like he deserves, he has been Chelsea best player would be a steal for us if true.

Yes news flash as none of you seem to have figured, matas dad IS his agent. he was there and this shoudnt be brushed off.
Agree0
Disagree0
Unless his dad is a keeper, and thinking of signing, the rest is irrelevant. Last night only emphasised the problem we have. Yes, szczesny made some great saves, but tell me a keeper who doesn't. His first half flap at a simple cross, and second half rushing out the box to get a ball he never had a chance of we're the two most glaring instances of why we need a keeper so urgently. How can wenger not be prioritising this?
Agree0
Disagree1
This has been reported in daily mail too. very exciting news and would be a great signing if we could pull it off. I think we need to strengthen other areas first but this would be a very welcome signing and a good sign of intention
{Ed022's Note - Just to stir the pot a little, Chelsea look like signing Porto winger Christian Atsu which might mean Mata is freed up for a transfer/loan. Let's hope Wenger doesn't let him slip through his fingers to Athletico Madrid...}
Agree0
Disagree0
Interestingly Mourinho just stated that he would sell to PL opponents, so I wouldn't rule it out. I like Mata very much, it would be awesome to see him play alongside the likes of Cazorla, Wilshere, etc.
Agree0
Disagree0
Atletico have come out saying, they cannot afford his wages.
The ideal Mata Situation would be barcelona, where he could feature alongside messi and neymar in the front 3.
making alexis sanchez available. however I think its a bit too late for a merry go round of players.
Agree0
Disagree0
Lakerville I think even if that did happen it would be Pedro who would leave as there is interest from PSG atm
Agree0
Disagree0
Jens and Jennings was at emirates as well but I don't think we will be signing them, mata would be great but carnt see it happening

arsene to panic buy to take pressure off him he will go for cabaye williams and bid for benzema
Believable29
Unbelievable68
Ahhh. atlast something I could believe.
Agree0

What do you class as panic buy?
buying in the last week of transfer period or just buying a player?
Agree0
Disagree0
Both, who is left to buy?
Agree0
Disagree0
The purchase of any of those players will not qualify as a panic buy.
Agree1

I wouldn't be too unhappy with those 3 players

How's that panic there all amazing you don't no anything
Agree0

I don't understand these "Panic" buys. People were on the fences, "Just buy someone!" But now its "oh no, its all panic buying now." All these people that we are linked to are good enough to fight for the starting position in the club.

News in that monaco activated kondogbia's relase clause, we are in for ozil, cabaye move is edging closer and hopefully we will get another striker maybe benzema.

You are in dream world if you think you will sign ozil

He's wanted to live in a world class city, play for a World class team.
all that remains is for arsenal to pay a world class transfer fee, according to pardew.
the word world class is so overused, I think every girl that gives me a tug over is world class at it.

I hope he is carrying Tim Krul's luggage.

Rumours that monaco have met kondgobia's release clause!
Need to make a move as he would be perfect for us

We are clearly more interested in deep-lying midfield pivots.
Let's not forget, Wenger believes that possession is the best form of defense.

If Monaco Want him, not a team in the world outside the two spanish teams can convince him to join another team. he will be rolling in money.

Wenger is clearly after Cabaye as a suitor to Arteta's current role, Cabaye has similar qualities in terms of passing, discipline and positioning. Cabaye actually may have more bite and aggression than Arteta so I think this is a smart signing, assuming it will come off!
Agree2

Guys am I the only one who sees the obviouse problem in our midfield. NO BALANCE. I have noticed people on here get defensive about arteta but what you must see is that he is out of position! yes he is a great player but he is not an arsenal holding midfielder. the best 3 in the middle we have had in recent years was 2011 when we had song, jack and cesc, the mighty three that turned over barca. that was a perfect balance of perfect midfielders. WE DO NOT NEED CABAYE! WE NEED A BIG POWERFUL ENFORCER WITH TECHNICAL ABILITY. basically the role that patrick viera made. we need a kondogbia or a pogba in there to balance it. our midfielders are being wasted without it.
Agree3
Disagree0
I don't think your the only one who see that's everyone on here has been stating it for months! But will it happen!? I hope so my friend

Ed, today in tv paper talk and Transfer Rumour we are being linked to casillas, ozil, di Maria and again Benzema. Realistically, what chance do you think we have on signing any of them? {Ed044's Note - Summarising what Ed02 has explained: There is interest in Benzema and Di Maria, but Benzema does not want to leave Real Madrid, although there will be another club making an offer for him this week. Di Maria is the most likely. Oezil may leave and his representative has spoken with several English and German clubs about the player. He said nothing about Casillas but did said Arsenal making a bid for Krul was possible. He also mentioned Arsenal on relation to Kondogbia but said Monaco was a far more probable destination right now.}

We are in talks to sign Pedro Obiang from Sampdoria. Anyone know much about him? {Ed044's Note - It may be a little out of date but this is what another Ed said: Sampdoria’s Pedro Obiang has attracted some interest from Chelsea, Spurs, Napoli, Palermo and Manchester City although at this time no firm offers have been put on the table.}

Saw him the other night against Juve, by far their best player, didn't see enough of him to see if he would fit in though.

according to the "newcastle chronicle" yohan cabaye has said he definitely wants to join arsenal.
not quite the defensive midfielder we are looking for but still a very good signing. will add more goals to our midfield and a very good taker of free kicks. up to you now arsene.

Im happy with this Rumor. The thing is, Even if Cabaye isn't the best player, he is very versatile and can play almost anywhere. In Arsenal the past couple of years, that is a very needed skill.
20 mil may be to much for Cabaye, but ehhhhh. *shrug*
Agree1

I think that a bid of £16M would see Newcastle accept, perhaps another £2M in add on clauses.

cabaye is not good enough! 20 mil for him?!?! ffs! and all because we left this for final days of the window! that doubled his price

according to this article Madrid have accepted a bid from us for angel Di Maria, but they're also saying its possible that Tottenham may have leaked this story themselves to get more money out of Madrid for bale? the Di Maria story is so bizarre but let's hope it ends well!
opinions?
Believable16
Unbelievable26
I think you have read the article wrong. They are saying the information about bale having more than one club interested in him may have been leaked by spurs, not about a bid being accepted for Di Maria.
I think Madrid would already know if they accepted a bid for Di Maria!
