What utter rubbish post somthing worth reading you muppet

Agree2 Disagree0

Sounds a bit like v.p situation....

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes you are right...I did post this rubbish...Just like all other ribbish posted on this website. You are the muppet for actually reading it!

Agree0 Disagree1

Totlly agree with you total junk

Agree0 Disagree0

Inside from where,you dinlo!!

Agree0 Disagree0

If that happens, the board and Wenger have officially taken us fans to be stupid. Walcott stays or not i dont think is much diff to the club, but this double speak is getting very irritating.

Ash

Agree0 Disagree0

Theo' a nice guy buy he has feel short of most fans expectations, he's needs a couple more years learning his trade, but if he wants to go cash in now.

people get a grip Cabaye has not signed and there was nothing about it on the arsenal website, it was a fake with cabaye's name put over the top of bendtner's

Scooby gooner {Ed027's Note - big Nick is no.52?

Believable27 Unbelievable34

It was edited with Chrome > Inspect Element. Simple stuff people.

Tommy P

Agree1 Disagree0

On the arsenal direct shirt builder, it was there, I'm not saying its true but have you heard either club deny anything or explain it?

D

Agree0 Disagree0

Was spotted under the kit builder thig apparently, haven't seen any photoshopped images replacing Bendtner myself but have seen the drop down list with '17 Cabaye' between '11 Santos' and '19 Cazorla'.

P.s. lighten up.

Agree0 Disagree0

No its not because it was between cazorla and chamakh and nobody is there anymore!
MOGGA

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed the list was in alphabetical order! {Ed027's Note - right

Agree0 Disagree0

Go on it now and bendtners name is were cabaye was its a photoshop, hence the camara picture rather than a printscreen

same thing happened with dempsey, and we know that wasnt true

Agree0 Disagree1

Yes it was Chrome Inspect Element just done it myself. There is a video on Ytube though with a guy on the site and it says Cabaye, but tbh he coulda just used Element aswell.

D-Dot

Agree0 Disagree0

Someone should do it & put Messi in the list, I'd love to see the reaction

Agree0 Disagree0

What I don't get is it can take days after we officially sign a player for it to get to the club store pages, yet we think that's where the will be found? I'm sure that's what Arsene and Ivan are thinking..."this things about wrapped up, hurry up and ring the the club shops and the website developers"

Agree0 Disagree0

Was a photo shop, if you right click and select inspect element you can edit who you please.

Agree1 Disagree0

A guy on twitter put messi where cabaye was and showed the same pic, it was a yfrog pic,complete fake

Granero to QPR.

Walcott has agreed a "short term verbal agreement" With wenger and WILL NOT be sold.

Affelay is a possibility for us, but spurs have listed Lennon meaning they have a winger space avaliable if he goes.


Now if you'll excuse me, Im'a loan a black BMW and drive to as many stadiums as possible with a entourage, trying to confuse journalists.

Walcott is going to stay at the emirates at least for this season :D cabaye also apparently is a big target and van der wiel might join us too. No idea on van der weil's price but cabaye is worth £15m

Gregory vd Wiel can be had for around 4 million.

I wish Arsenal F.C. board would just state their season goals every year and be done with it....wenger used to come out saying "our goal is to win the league and champions league....etc...." and now he conveniently uses the term "challenge" for the titles which to me means they want to be close and probably end up not winning it.....fine if you have a team thas not a top 2 kinda team but atleast dont fool fans into thinking the team is made to seriously go for top spot.

I just hate being lied to by a team i've had a passion for since i was 4 years old. I dont mind if they come out and just say "look we just dont have the money to compete for top 1 or 2, either get extra investment and go for top spot or admit that we cant compete financially....its like they keep lying and putting all the fans on edge.....i cannot wait for this stupid transfer window to close....so we can focus on the football and not all these rumours...

no matter where we end up...all us gooners are in this together... :-/ just want the truth from the board

Scooby dooby K

Believable41 Unbelievable14

Most of the last 7 seasons we had the players to win the league just not the mental strength for example when Eduardos leg was broken we were something like 10 points ahead of manu and two seasons ago when we lost the carling cup (dont blame Shezz or kos we should have had that game rapped up by the 60th minute they got relegated) but anyway regardless of what Wenger feels if he says he wants the league and we finish 4th its gonna look bad on him the players and the club especially as it has been 8 seasons since we won our league.


Clg

Agree1 Disagree1

Know what your saying mate but to come out and tell us were not going to be able to compete for top spot ( which we know we're not going to ) but would also be telling the rest of the league that were not able to compete so would put us on the back foot straight away. Any true arsenal fan knows for us to win the league now would mean others having very bad seasons which won't happen cause not only are the 2 manc sides being up there now Chelsea look like there going turn it round again but all happens with large amounts of money that unless usminov

Agree1 Disagree0

Well said !! Agree
Istanbul Gooner

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank the lord for Wenger's subtle approach...

While he hasn't said so explicitly.... taking about 30 seconds to THINK about his comments would make it pretty obvious that he is admitting that we can compete financially.

Look at his comments about:
PSG
Eden Hazard
Neymar

theo is staying at least for this season

Believable22 Unbelievable13

Sell him now

Agree1 Disagree1

Why would we do that? We might, at best, keep him till Jan. He's not great, and even if we can get 5 mil for him, it'd be better than going for free.

Agree0 Disagree1

Spurs fan here not here to abuse anyone if walcott played for us and was on about leaving i would drive him there myself and give the ox more game time as lennon and walcott are similar very hit and miss whereas the ox i believe will be a superstar as unlike them 2 aint a wimp who can get tackled out of games also corzola great signing see you in a couple of months cant wait!

To the classless muppets who use Theo as a punch bag, FU

Believable19 Unbelievable18

So what's your point he's still f&£king off and still don't care if he stays or goes he ain't no Rvp

Agree2 Disagree1

Theo is nothing but pace, hes even admitted it...


Clg

Agree1 Disagree1

100% confirmation from who? By the way, your better off hanging round the Theo fan boy site to see where you can next get a chance to grab him and drag him down an ally. He's not incredible, he's not awful, he's expendable. Especially when we have ox fast becoming the player we expected Theo to be.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is a good player not used correctly in my mind. He has the attributes and potential to be a very good winger. I still expect him to go. Remember we had a similar thing with R.V.P ! He isn't for sale. Then gets sold to MAN U!

I think it is us as a club who are class less!

Swienstiger to sign for arsenal as bentner goes the other way there will also be money involved witch price I cannot say but there is also another chief scout over in Germany ?

Believable16 Unbelievable36

This is not true because of two major reasons:
1- bayern have a heavy trafic on CF and they simply dont want another striker
2- schwini is a club symbol for bayern and they wont let him go at any cost

Listen, Arsenal no longer buy world class players in their prime. We're a feeder team - stop living in the past.

CABAYE IS A GUNNER...

From every mistake there is an iota of truth. Quickly check the .com SITE, it has been confirmed that Johan Cabaye has signed for Arsenal. The deal put at 13million pounds plus add ons will be confirmed Thursday afternoon even as the player gets Jersey number 17 on the official Arsenal list. This confirmation was done earlier today on Arsenal.com, but was quickly withdrawn as the player comes in for a medical tomorrow morning.

WALE KINGUNNER.

Believable14 Unbelievable32

It wasn't on the website it was a photoshop job

Agree0 Disagree0

Absolute rubbish - we never disclose fees on .com

Agree0 Disagree0

You are chatting sh*t. Nothing appeared on Arsenal.com that has been taken down, if it did, somebody would have screen-grabbed. I think you are confusing your 'fake/photoshop/webpage rumours.

Agree1 Disagree0

This is 100% true. Earlier this afternoon you could by the replica kit with a players name and # and Cabaye was in the list as #17. This has now been removed from the site. All the rumours of Tiote are BS.

Agree0 Disagree0

I've seen this image and seems legit. Few people on twitter seem to have it. Surely can't be just a mistake? I doubt someone would go to the trouble of creating this of its fake? The guys a good player - here's hoping! Wonder what the odds are?

EMG

Agree0 Disagree0

To those who think the picture is legit why is Cabayes name where NB52's should be, last I checked Bendtner is still an arsenal player, the pic is a fake done on photoshop or some such, people need to get a grip

Agree0 Disagree0

Scooby Gooner dude, don't know what picture you mean but the ones I've seen are on the kit builder thing under the pull-down menu between santos 11 and Cazorla 19 is Cabaye 17. Type Cabaye into twitter if you have it and look for a post by BusbyMUFC.

Might be fake; might be an elaborate mistake or hoax dude.

If it was true it would be on ssn. Remember liverpools mistake posting they had agreed signing Dempsey? All over the sports media like a bad rash

Hey fellow Gooners

I just want to confirm that Arsenal has signed Cabaye. He will be wearing jersey number 17. Think I am joking, wait until lunchtime tomorrow. Hoop hoop!

Believable11 Unbelievable32

If you are going by the fake photoshop picture where they replaced NB52 with Cabaye then you re going to be very wrong.

Poppycock , more chance having breakfast in a Luna station

Let me guess you see it on that web site with the shirt thing so fake we don't need him anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

IF your getting this from the twitter photo - it is a fake, there is another one doing the rounds that its messi!

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope not. why do we need him?

Agree0 Disagree0

I saw the squad line up this morning and he was number 17 then quickly removed, maybe another typo like liverpool stating on their website that they had signed clint from fulham.

It's just been announced on SSN that theo and arsenal have come to a short-term agreement and that theo most certainly will not be sold this transfer window.

Essex Gooner

Agree0 Disagree0

U chat rubbish theo will stay till jan stop writing rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

Not the end of the world if he leaves, but 13 mil is not enough for him. Surely that would be very bad business to one of our (potentially) rival clubs?

Agree0 Disagree0

Nope apparently he's staying and will sign a new deal read Bbc and ssn

Watching a website now, why are they not reporting this?

You're full of poo, Harry Redknapp

Agree2 Disagree0

How do you know this?? just seems a bit random tbh!

Agree0 Disagree0

Where is your info coming from?

Agree0 Disagree0

I just saw a pic on the net,the offical arsenal website made a mistake,on the online store build your own kit,they have cabaye number 17,but it has now been removed

Agree0 Disagree2

I already posted that info about the picture, to me it looks fake, colour of the site and that. could be true, but not totally sure. I recon any transfers will go through friday!

Agree0 Disagree1

It is fake, photoshopped instead of Bendtner

Agree0 Disagree1

It's amazing what you can do with computers and photoshop these days

Agree0 Disagree0

So where does 13 plus add ons come from? Really hope it's true!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Spurs fan posting rubbish "I saw on the official blah blah "

He is just posting crap from other worse rumour sites out there.
Chess

Agree0 Disagree0

Bit strange that they made that mistake isnt it? its clearly a done deal which is good news

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope not

Agree0 Disagree0

If you look at the picture it is photoshopped to remove Bendtner and replace with Cabaye. Do you think Bendtner has been sold already to?

Agree0 Disagree0

Everyone does realise, of course, that you could build your own kit and just type CABAYE 17 on a shirt....we could mock up MESSI and RONALDO shirts if we want in the hope they sign.

Get a grip people.

Agree0 Disagree0

29 Aug 2012 14:21:17
Fake or Not Fake? Cabaye to wear number 17, just been sent a photo of a website where you can buy arsenal kits for cheap, he is on there.

Not sure on that 1 m8,as ive heard cheik tiote is on route to the emirates for a medical

Load of BS !!!!

Agree0 Disagree1

There isn't a hope in hell that a cheap website knows of a transfer before it's common knowledge! there is cheap sites where you can put any name and number you like on a shirt, maybe that's what has happened?

Agree0 Disagree0

The image being referred to is from AFC official website - however probably photoshop as Cabaye appears where Bendtner would normally appear

+ Bendtner to AC Milan is looking more likely than his potential move to Stoke that I mentioned yesterday.

+ As Málaga qualified last night, Chamakh will either move there or to Besiktas.

+ I believe that Walcott will stay, he has a love for the club and it is my gut instinct that he will still be an Arsenal player come 11pm Friday.

It all seems to be moving slowly right now, but we are in several places negotiating several deals, so be patient and enjoy the next few days as best you can.

Would make sense, we are more likely to sign someone that wenger says we won't!

AW saying we have no interest. Tiote saying he's happy at Newcastle.

Agree1 Disagree0

Power house in the midfield just what we need plus a quick striker

Agree1 Disagree0

Why would he fly from newcastle?

Agree0 Disagree1

AW has already stated that Tiote is not on his way to Arsenal.
As to 'Why would he fly from Newcastle?' because it's too far to walk?

According to , Parker, Lennon and RDV have been put up for sale... Is there any chance arsenal might sign Parker? He's just what we need and everyone said we should have signed him previously

Believable7 Unbelievable42

He's not technically gifted enough, can't play one touch football, Wenger doesn't like him

According to.......? Parker in not a player I would li9ke at Arsenal. Nowhere near technical enough to play Wengerball.

Parker is nowhere near good enough to play for us. Typical Redknapp signing.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is crap and he is 31, we dont need oldies..

Parker is extremely overrated.

Parker is not good enough for Arsenal. Can only spin around and pass backwards. I'm sure Wenger is aware of this!

Frank

Believable29 Unbelievable25

Hope your right Frank. Been watching your posts for the past week or so regarding Bastian. I really think this is the type of player needed at arsenal. A true box to box midfielder to complement Arteta and Cazorla. I really hope this happens....

Schweinsteiger played in the last Bayern game against Fürth. He came on as a sub for Shaqiri.

As much as i want this to happen i just cant see it in fact i cant see us signing anyone this t/window because we havent given the players clubs time to find replacements.I would personally love us to sign a pure out and out goalscorer but
as i have already said i cannot see anything happening plus i would have thought some players have to be sold first

This is a tease: He's a world class player and exactly the kind of midfielder we need = no chance.

He also had a foot injury in pre-season... he is being eased back. No chance of this one; but right idea for player...

Other similar ones?

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree0

Clueless.

Agree0 Disagree0

You are in cookoo land! Arsenal won't pay anything more than 80-90k a week wages to their established stars are they really gonn get a player who could get 150k anywhere in Spain or England! We don't get top class players unless they are on 40k where they are and want to move to us! Can't see the Swine leaving a massive German club to come to Arsenal for peanuts.

Dick Law "I can't confirm or deny late move for Van Der Wiel"

And before everyone says he is average. I would much prefer a dutch international as back up to Sagna over Jenks.

Believable26 Unbelievable17

I think vdw will be great back up and will help us going forward

Agree0 Disagree0

Cant find anything about that

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Jenkinson was good against both Stoke and Sunderland

Agree0 Disagree0

That's pretty harsh on Jenkinson. 2 clean sheets and a good few years over Van Der Wiel. Also I don't think right back is what needs strengthening.

In Arsene I Trust.

According to a close friend of mine (Who works in one of Arsenal's Head Offices'), There were a lot of rumours going around yesterday that Bastian Schweinsteiger will sign for Arsenal on Friday afternoon.

The fact Bayern Munich have pretty much signed Javi Martinez has paved the way for this deal to go through. It is unknown at the moment what the fee is going to be but is expected to be between £20 million and £25 million.

DG

Believable25 Unbelievable23

Sorry but would Seb really leave Germany and come to Arsenal ? Would love to see it but just dont think we have the appeal to lure him to the Emirates. Would love to proved wrong though

I can't be bothered to go into the many reasons why this statement is just plain stupid.

wenger will not let tw leave now + especially to another prem rival. the board will hold further talks and tw agents are to prove he is worth of a £100k a week contract. trust tw does not want to leave afc either. me thinks Malaga gooner has a bit of an issue with tw.

Walcott will join man city for 12 million plus we will get dzeko.

This will happen on tranfer deadline day.Unknown gooner {Ed001's Note - Ed052 has just done a player profile of Walcott, not sure if any Arsenal fan will be interested right now, but just in case: http://player-profiles.co.uk/theo-walcott.php after all you never know!}

Believable6 Unbelievable26

12mln + dzeko is a dream... but that won't happen.

For me, that would mean keeping arshavin as well, or risk not having enough wide players.

a website believe no bids have been made for Rennes midfielder M'vila and Dreossi has said he does not expect him to move before friday.

Believable23 Unbelievable11

This is not right. He said if there is no serious approach till friday he will stay. and each day it is more likely that he stays with rennes. don't twist the facts dude!

A 'website' bit vague!! in other news 'someone somewhere will do something shocking shortly' sorry i can be more specific but when it happens i will be sure to claim the praise for it.

Javier Martinez has passed a medical at Bayern.
Schweinsteiger deal can now go ahead.

Weve enquired about Dzeko,poss swap with Walcott if he dont sign,hence the reason City didnt sign Sinclair yesterday.


Afellay is aslo a possibility on lon if walcott goes.

Believable9 Unbelievable23

Don't know why but I totally believe the swap could happen

Agree0 Disagree0

It seems logical but it just won't happen

Doubtful, although Luiz Gustavo could be available!

I did not believe schweinsteiger rumor AT ALL but now with martinez in it makes so much more sense. still veeeeery far away in my opinion though. as a name schweinsteiger would be huge for us

Schweinstieger ha ha ha. We don't sign players of that quality.

A friend of mine from school, who is german, and works for Die Welt, told me yesterday that the rumour in the press room is that apparently Richard Law is there to negotiate for Lars Bender a DM who plays for Bayer Leverkeusen and the NT. He's pretty good and still very young, I personally think he would be a great addition, should it go through...Eds any news on this from your part?

Phil {Ed001's Note - I was told he was there to speak to one of the relegated teams, that was all I had. There is nothing to stop him talking to more than one club about more than one player anyway. So I can't rule out Bender, just have no info regarding it.}

Believable17 Unbelievable19

I had a funny thought - Suppose holtby and m'vila come in.

Javier Perez will be smug as anything.... LOL (still don't believe a word of it).

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree2

See, if it is one of the relegated teams, I'd put money on it being Koln and Geromel or Kevin Pezzoni.

Pezzoni (although I imagine most of you know) has played CB a bit this season, but is mainly a CDM, and while not on the level of M'villa or Capoue he's a TANK.

The guy must be about 6"3, there's nothing pretty about his game, he's not going to make runs like Song did, or pick out nice passes.

He's going to hurt you.
He's going to hurt you, take the ball and play in Arteta or Cazorla.

I'm probably waaaaaaay off.
But I'd be kinda happy if he joined, and before y'all hit me with "we need world class" I do agree, but tell that to Koscielny, Vermalen, Henry etc.

Any Gooner worth his (or her) salt will remember the Bender bros from our recent Euro encounters against BvB. A really good fit if it came about because you just know he vill haf zer korrekt diziplin.. ja!

Who do you reckon the player from a relegated team be? looked up kaiserlauten and cologne's squads but no marquee names pop out to me

Ach und Himmel, I got the wrong Bender in my previous post -It's Sven we faced playing against BvB just as good as Lars too! Eds: Can we invite Henning Wehn to give a few insights into how funny (or not) the Germans find Bender as a surname?

Would love it if it's a "Herr" Bender ;)

More updates on the #13 shirt - and may I point that the #13 shirt was indeed last worn only by Hleb...The Schiz last last season wore a goalkeeper's jersey and not the red & white......
The friend in Nike confirms that batches are being printed out ...... name before EOD guys, bear with me..... {Ed001's Note - why would batches with numbers on be printed out at Nike? Doesn't Arsenal put its own numbers on shirts, as well as names, like every other Prem club does?}

Believable5 Unbelievable26

Good point Ed, I smell bulls##t

Agree0 Disagree0

This is just getting mad
NIKE putting numbers on shirts ha ha

Agree0 Disagree0

Wojciech Szczesny was number 13 last season

Agree0 Disagree0

I think the manufacturer prints a certain amount of named/numbered shirts to be sold at retail outlets.

I can't see why Nike would need to get such an advanced scoop on it though.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nike dont make the number nor have they anything to do with the numbers?btw the namesets that the club have are 1 piece name and number attached so if they did make the number they would have to have a name to

Agree0 Disagree0

Im assuming its for merchandise purposes? That is if indeed this rumour is true

Agree0 Disagree0

Ridiculous rumour, Chris Kay ltd have held the replica shirt printing contract for a number of years

Agree0 Disagree0

You get name and number printed in the club shop. Nothing to do with Nike. Stop ur crap.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yep a think eds got it bang on there the club do the names and numbers so your talkin rubbish

Agree0 Disagree0

Your just taking a guess that if we sign someone they will take the number 13 shirt as its really the only one we have left before we sell some players

Agree0 Disagree0

Shirts that are sold in countries outside Europe have printing assembly with the local production facilities of kit maker i.e Nike....

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes, yes they do. Thanks Ed, seems like a spud Bull##it invasion.

Ashman

Agree0 Disagree0

What I mean is that obviously, the club have confirmed a # and a name to correspond to it, it is SO obvious that Nike themselves are not going to go and put numbers on a shirt!

I have it from a very reliable source that Arsenal will only sell Bendtner for a fee of around 3 mill as there are no serious buyers.
Squillaci will be on the pay roll till at least Xmas for same reason.
Arshavin will stay too.

Wenger will not buy further players

Believable30 Unbelievable27

Haha mate we've rejected offers of twice that for Bendtner! Mmmmm, sauce

Agree0 Disagree0

Selling bendtner for 3m is not worth it considering the amount of wages we have been paying him.

we are in a show down with spurs, we are both in for mvilla and dembele. who ever gets dembele, the other gets mvilla. walcott wants to stay but is demanding 90k per week and wenger won't budge, offering 75k. city are seriously interested, along with liverpool.

Believable21 Unbelievable24

Spurs will sign dembele in the next 24hours.

a few updates on what is likely to be a busy few days for arsenal with all the ins and outs taking place.

it's looking likely that nicklas bendtner will sign for stoke with the fee likely to be something around £5m.

isco doesn't want to leave Malaga and navas' chronic homesickness is still a problem so these two potential arrivals can be ruled out; as can dembele who is signing for spurs.

walcott does want to stay, and we want to keep him but it seems that if a deal cannot be struck within 24 hours then he will be sold.

as far as i'm aware we have no interest in signing cabaye but there is interest on our part for lars bender.

the spanish press are reporting that afellay will be off to either liverpool or spurs on loan.

i can't see dzeko coming to arsenal, especially with agüero being ruled out for a while.

there are rumours of a marquee signing arriving at the emirates before friday, more news as i have it.

nr

Believable50 Unbelievable17

I believe everything you said is true and makes sense... but i am also thinking to myself... who is coming? lol

real-goon

Agree1 Disagree0

So, no navas or isco, probably no walcott, no cabaye, no affelay (spurs or liverpool? arsenal just sold song to them!), no dzeko (good). Still nothing concrete i see. Just hope they buy something on offense, arsenal is lacking creation, no players are doing unexpected things on the field. Arsenal need someone different (or special like wenger said). I though Affelay would come. Ben arfa and Navas i knew wasnt possible. But that kind of player is needed so that we can create more space on offense.

Agree0 Disagree0

Report what's in the press and make something up as a potential. That's arsenal rumours.

Agree0 Disagree0

All this rubbish and in the end, we end up with nothing?

Guess thats why they are rumours.

*Sigh*

I've got a feeling it's going to be a very busy exit door but very quite coming in.

We've already had our marquee, any signing we make won't shadow cazorla unless its fab on loan for obvious reasons
