Hijack vertonghen move! plus mvillla

I would love to see Gotze join us but Dortmund aren't likely to sell any more of their first team players. M'Vila would be a great buy.
Agree0

I think we should go for de jong from city cos the guy is tough and loves a tackle and offer hoilett a contract. also i think robin is as good as gone and for the patience shown by us 2 him for all the injury's if he does go i will want his head on a stick in my living room to kick on my way in and out. and another thing if our club were not such Cu*ts with secrecy over transfers our fans would not be so frustrated every transfer window. if u want to charge what u do for tickets stop treating us who pay ur wages and invest our hard earned money STOP TREATING ME LIKE A MUSHROOM

Sorry to burst your buble but Hoilett already signed a contract in Germany and don't think De Jong is good enough.
Agree0

Stockton8 - you can't expect ALL transfer targets to be played out in the media
some clubs don't like to sell publicly (see Modric destory Spurs last summer) and imagine the pressure the player would be under when the internet descends on his play
Agree0

@ Stockton8-
Yeah 'cos blabbing to the whole world is the way to stop teams from stealing our targets. You really think that if we let it be known who our actual targets were, that Man City, Barca, Madrid, Chelsea, Anzhi, PSG or Man Utd wouldn't come in and steal them out from under us with the money they are willing to offer? Not everyone is as decent a human being as Giroud, choosing substance over money.

Wenger wont buy unless he needs to and he feels like he hasnt got to buy anymore.....

the word delusion comes to mind if ur thinking all clubs want our targets they have there own scouting systems. im not saying we should say who exactly just maybe where we are investing money of if at all we are investing in players. its got to the point where i believe wenger doesnt care about us if he did he would have baught quicker last summer rather than saving a couple of mill. id have payed 10 mill just to not get raped 8-2 by the red arrogance up north and to the guy who says de jong aint good enough its more his mentality as a player we need rather than technique

You're an idiot.
It's important to be secretive. That's one of the things that makes Wenger so good.
Besides, fans don't pay wages... tickets and replica kits are a small percentage of a club's income. The wages and player purchases are funded by sponsorship deals and TV money.

@stockton8
look at players like hazard,mata,etc who we were linked with through the media... where are they now. {Ed027's Note -were not the only ones who miss out on signings look at Man Utd, money is a big motive nowadays

Many people appear to post on this site in the hope that what they say may actually happen and hence they be proved right! This particular post probably doesn't fall into that category as it is so outrageously absurd! Arsene Wenger and the entire Arsenal board are world renowned for getting every last pound of value in in each transfer so why in earth would he swap a 20+ mill midfielder for a player who struggles to get into the England U21's on a regular basis! I don't actually rate Song as I feel he lacks discipline to sit in the holding role he excels at, but....well the post is so ridiculous it doesn't need any more said! Utter Garbage

Obviously not true. however, if we sign M'VILLA where will song play? bench?

Why? A player that couldn't get a game for Swansea for a player who plays 50 games a season for one of the top teams in Europe?

Only if Chelsea gave us Josh + 25 million pounds and even then I wouldn't pull the trigger

I would love it for this rumour to be true as Song is massively overrated and was lazy liability last season. I really hope Song is shipped out Denilson (who is superior player technically) is kept.

Song was one of our best players last season! look at any cracking goal that RVP scored and look who supplied it.
If M'Villa signed Song could stay where he is, too far up the pitch :)

read on caughtoffside that barca have made an official 24 mill bid for rvp, and that wenger is negotiating so he can get affelay and thisgo in return. wouldnt be a bad deal would it?
is there any truth in these rumpurs Ed? {Ed002's Note - Not that I know of.}

Then you must have been "caught offside" so the goal doesn't count.so it is a free kick to the gunners

It take just Thiago :L
He is world class and would easily become our Cesc!

I read that barca are readying a 24m bid but nothing has occurred yet. To be honest rvp is only holding off to make sure Wenger signs some decent players. As soon as m'vila ad adrian Lopez are in the bag the pen will hit paper. Just have a different feelin this ine

From the Greek press: Olympiakos have drawn up a 1 million Euro a year contract for Sebastien Squillaci, who is expected to leave Arsenal via a mutual termination of his contract.
Sounds more likely to me than the rumoured move to Bastia, as Olympiakos can offer Champions League football.
Stezza. {Ed027's Note - Bastia deal is now dead, because of his wages, 50k i think, he wont budge
Believable38
Unbelievable12
Surely if its rumoured to be a 1m Euro contract per year that works out around 20k euro per week?
Agree0
Disagree0
They dont get paid holidays
Agree0

In the unlikely event that this rumour is true, it would be so popular with Gooners that there's a good chance Squillaci would arrive in Athens borne aloft on our shoulders. Shame we can't send Flappy, Djourou, Mertesacker, Gibbs, Diaby, Denilson, Song and Bendtner with him.
Agree0
Disagree0
I hope he leave, but he might choose another country because of the economy in greece
DN~
Agree0
Disagree0
Dont think there will be a functioning league in greece next season. If reports are to be true, most clubs havent paid there players for along while now.
Agree0
Disagree0
Ed Bastia deal isn't dead at all. Squillaci will now probably look at both offers.
He was in Corsica again, discussing with Bastia officials, on Tuesday - So something must have come up between the clubs or player and club.
_DialSquare_ {Ed027's Note - im told he wont budge on 50k, unlesshes had a change of heart
Agree0

Ed please be joking....we cant actually be paying him 50K a week. {Ed027's Note - we actually are pal
Agree0

Song is good im sorry but does anyone remember his pass to persie in the arsenal 1-0 everton game and got us some valuable points also hes done it more then once and has played well in helping us achieve third place because lets be honest 1st and 2nd were out of reach from the begining

With Coqulin, Frimpong and Song, why would we want MiVilla
Agree0

Is that a joke?^
Frimpong and Colqulin are never first team places, and Song can go a lot more attacking in several positions
Agree0

M'villa would be a good signing, but i just cant see it happening after the Eur0's

Frimpong is gona be huge for arsenal...one of the few players we have with real heart and passion on the pitch.

Ed do u have any news about mvilla to arsenal and what do u think which centre back arsenal likely to sign? {Ed002's Note - There is nothing to say beyond interest might be waning with M'Vila.}

Hope M'vila signs, to be honest, i think the team will then be complete?

vertonghen said to sky sports that he dosent think he is going to sign for spuds. ed is there any possibility that he will sign for arsenal
VP.10 {Ed002's Note - Sure, but would you want a player who turned his back on a move to Arsenal after the interest of Spurs was known?}
Believable10
Unbelievable37
Vertonghen plays mainly CB and LB right? Can he cover RB too? I think if he can cover the whole back line he would be a great buy.
Khal Drogo
Agree0
Disagree0
No I dont want him!
Agree0
Disagree0
I am sure he will sign for the Toot, the clubs will come to an arrangement over the percentage owed to Vertonghen. In any event, he will not come to Arsenal as he is predominantly left-sided, where we have two left backs & two CB's who prefer playing on the left-hand side.
Agree0
Disagree0
I like the way people still say they think he will sign for the others even when the man himself has said he won't.
Paul - Rochester
Agree0
Disagree0
So Khal, you think we will sign a 4th choice left footed CB who prefers playing at CB, to cover Sagna at right back, for the best part of 10m, plus highish wages! There never was any chance of us signing him. Its interesting that none of the top european clubs have gone on for him.
Agree0
Disagree0
Spot on , why have the big clubs not gone in for him ? must be something to that .
Agree0
Disagree0
I think you have misunderstood the grammatical function of a question mark... I am asking whether people have seen him at RB. I also never said I think we will sign him, all I said was if he can cover the whole back line he would be a great buy... If he can cover the back line he is basically nailed on for half our games considering our injury record!!
Just to make it clear I don't think we will sign him! Ok?
Khal Drogo

edd whats the situation with alba? i wud prefer alba over santos and kieron {Ed002's Note - There is interest in Alba from Barcelona and speculation about interest from both Manchester based clubs. Chelsea and AC Milan both made speculative enquiries about Alba before the January window. I would hazard a guess he could spend his near-term career in Spain - certainly he could well worry about the impact on his international prospects. Staying at Valencia another year is a perfectly possible outcome as is a deal to involve a Barcelona player going on loan as part of the package - perhaps Tello.}
