Why are we even looking at weise I've seen him in a couple of games and he's been terrible has anyone seen the goal Daniel cousin scored into him I'd stick with fab

From what I'm aware of, we aren't interested in Weise, it's just peoples thoughts, that said, don't know which games your watching mate, but Weise has been brilliant for Werder this year, he's likely to go to euro 2012 along with Neuer and one of the many up and comers like Bernd Leno (who's displaced Adler at Bayer Leverkusen)and Marc-Andre ter-stegen.

Google weise mistakes and there is a page full of blunders wear hes handed the other team the game

You could say the same
About sczeszny of last season, or almunia every season since that one where he wasn't terrible.

Just because someone has compiled a site of bad things is irrelevant.

It'd be like someone making a website of all the great things David Cameron has done ( of which there a few to none) and you reading that, but not the terrible things and believing he's a great politician.

What do people know about Simon Kjaer?
Free in the summer, defender for Roma, normally worth around 7-9 mil approx.
Anybody think he is worth signing?

Nick.

Isn't he only on loan at Roma? Saying that I swear he's back at Wolfsburg now?

Anyway im probably wrong!

The problem is we were interested when he was the next " big thing" at Palermo and never made a move for him, since then he's rarely done anything to make people take notice, I fear he'd just be like Djourou, incredibly hit and miss, to be honest it's looking more and more likely that we'll get Verthongen and if the M'bia rumours are true he's a cdm by trade who plays cb for Marsielle, which with a trio of Vermalen Koscielny and Mertesaker, already without jv then M'bia would he a great cdm or deputy cb, essentially mate that's my long winded way of saying i think no!

But nice to see people thinking outside the paper reported players!

I'm sure we were linked to him a couple of years ago - he was being touted as a top centre-half in the making and was playing at a high level for someone so young - i havent heard much of him for a while, dont really follow italian football but apparently he's out of favour - and once your out of favour in italy thats your career in italy over... thats not to say he couldnt do a job for us.... if we sold djourou in the summer (which i cant see happening) then for a free 4th choice why not...
AG

He wasn't good enough for wolfsburg and isn't doing well with roma too. how could he make it at arsenal? he's a big flop, was probably the most promising danish talent a couple of years ago but certainly not anymore.

iceman

Surely not more talented than Nicklas Bendtner?!?!?!?!?!?!?!?

Pakistan AFC

Douglas from fc twente is available on a free and is better than kjaer. Apparently Newcastle are linked with him
And may bag themselves another quality player.

I'm from Denmark. Simon is not out of his contract this summer. He will be going back to Wolfsburg. I don't see him going to Arsenal. Makes to many mistakes. He is losing his place in the starting 11 for Denmark to a player in the danish Superliga, so find someone else.

Yeah... Was an exeptional talent when he played for palermo, but hasn't evolved the way us danes hoped he would. He is a decent player, but not good enough to play for arsenal. a.t.m. we have I. Miguel, who is a much better prospect that Kjær.

Considering if arsenal finish 3rd or 4th
I would like wenger to buy these players
to makes us on par with Barca n Madrid
Realisticly


2nd choice gk-Adler/al habsi/wiese
Cb-vertoghen
cdm-yann m'vila/flamini
cam-hazard/kagawa/kaka/g�tze
Left winger-robben/Ben arfa
winger-striker-podolski
striker-giroud/matias suarez

n wudnt sell rosicky,arshavin n vela

Well a great squad depth is the key for wining multiple titlesGoonerNd

No chance. never forget the manager and club your talking about

Greg

Dream on...

Cant buy too many players. also the ones that we have are fairly young. Dont expect us to buy Vertonghen to keep him as a emergency sub...players in their prime want to play and its not about money.

if we pick up the chamkhs and denilsons of this world they will happily sit on the bench and produce nothing...but if you want quality...its hard to convince them to be bench players...unless you pay them alot...which we dont...hence we rely on youth with quality and buy 1st team quality...and thats our depth.

Is that how you beat Barca/Real Madrid in Football manager... come back to eart mate.

Dude I said to be on par

I think i did this a while ago but i am going to make a better team for Arsenal on a budget of nothing but player sales.

Bit of fun...

Outs:
Bendtner - 8 mil
Denilson - 4 mil
Vela - 5 mil
Djourou - 4 mil
Squilaci - 1 mil
Almunia - A can of coke
Arshavin - 6 mil
Chamakh - 8 mil
Fabianski - 3 mil
Benayoun - Loan return

=39 mil

Ins:
Weise - Free
Dzagoev - Free
Podolski - 11 mil
Vertonghen - 13 mil
Flamini - Free
Giroud - 9 mil
Holtby - 6 mil

=39 mil

Total spent = 0!

Leaves us with:

GK: Szczesny, Weise, Mannone
RB: Sagna, Jenkinson, Yennaris
CB: Vermaelen*, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Vertonghen*, Miquel*, Bartley
LB: Gibbs*, Santos*
DM: Song, Flamini, Coquelin*, Frimpong
CM: Wilshere*, Rasmey, Diaby, Arteta
AM: Dzagoev, Rosicky, Holtby
Wing: Walcott*, Gervinho*, Chamberlain*, Ryo
ST: Van Persie*, Podolski*, Giroud, Park

*Players who could play in 2 or more positions effectively

Am i the only one who thinks that is a better team than the one we have now, with no money spent at all? If anything a profit is made due to all the expensive ticket prices.

I never knew that they were so expensive until i was told on this site.

Crazy.

But back on to the team that i made, what more could you ask for with money spent only from sales? i think thats pretty fantastic and hopefully you guys see it aswell.

Nick.

Few of your price estimations are way out, 8m for chamakh? vela 5m? djourou 4m? and almunia isnt even worth a can of coke

Giroud for 9mil? {Ed002's Note - And Dzagoev will not be free in the Summer.}

While I like all the Ins and Outs, you've seriously undervalued Holtby, especially when you bring in the fact that he's german so has more value in the german league

Hah 9 mill for giroud, that was a nice dream but it's time to wake up

Its a good plan, and I'm sure its something Wenger has been trying to do for a while now, but first of all you,ve got to find someone willing to buy your players and buy them at the value that you put on them. Then you have the problem of the players not wanting to leave, maybe they are on a very big salary that they wont be offered by a new club, or maybe they see their contracts running down and the chance to leave on a free in a year or two's time.
I'm afraid that the power is with the player, if he doesnt want to leave, he just sits there and collects a massive cheque up every month.
Message to Wenger,
When you buy young, unknown players, get them initially on a long contract with very low wages ( still ridiculously high ), then we wont need to negotiate wages when they break into the first team and be worried because they are entering the last year or two of their contracts.

Some decent names in the mix there, but not even slightly realistic. We are only going to make 2-3 signings and expect to see some loan players coming back (Miyachi / Joel Campbell).

I would be very surprised if we signed Giroud - I imagine he will either stay of go to PSG. A team who are also keeping tabs on belhanda.

I like the idea of Weise, but I suspect he will want to mvoe to a club where he is in the the starting XI. Perhaps a club like Lazio. That said, I do think we need cover for our GK. Martinez and Mannone do not have enough experience for me...

Billybob

GIROUD would cost nearer the 20 million mark im afriad!

Lay off Ramsey. At the end of the day, bitching about him on here will do nothing. I feel he needs support at this time. Give him more time...

Ben

Right there with you ben
