Re: The Official Winter Transfer Rumours Thread

Song experiencing Hleb deja vu

[Jay29]

Song's not a DM in the first place. Arteta became our DM the minute he signed for us while Song started to venture forward more. By the time he left us he was pretty much a creative midfielder.

[VendettaRed07]

Not even MLS fans wanted song

[MJ]

Just remembered; the reason we've waited until this week to show interest in Remy is because his release clause has three different tiers

£8m for CL clubs
£11m for top 6 clubs
£15m for others

[RealGunner]

Meh. I don't think I will be able to like him. Won't mind him obviously but he is that type of player who moves around all the time with no loyalty nor any purpose.

We are desperate though I Guess.

[Raptorgunner]

Cant wait for Monday.

[RedMamba]

remy is not needed;
we should be able to get 4th place without him
and remy won't make much difference towards challenging for the title or CL!
he would be deadwood by next year and we won't be able to offload him for many years.

so i say solve the DM and CB issue now!
and go all out for the big striker next year...

i suppose there is no one on last year of contract or bosman next summer... except maybe theo/lukas?

we can finally have a complete squad next year!

Both have two years left as of now.

Seems we've gone in for Remy too late. Guess we can only hope that the possibility of more first team football wins out over a bigger salary.

Things can change very quickly, of course, but I'm a little concerned that we're not really close to anyone.

Hmm I am not a tier one player and will fight for time. Do I go for a team that will fight for the EPL and CL or do I go for a team that fights for the 4th place trophy.

Are we desperate.
Or are we desperate for the class that will help take us to the next level?

You are too quick to write off Chelsea as a team fighting for 4th place

#AFC haven't met Remy release clause but are in conversations with #QPR about rivalling #CFC for him - IF they let a forward go #bbcfootball


I'm just curious as to what conversations we could be having with QPR when he has a release clause.

#AFC have dropped Remy interest. Enquired but no longer pursuing. Currently not close to any signings before deadline #QPR #CFC #bbcfootball

[Sri]

Arsenal just driving the wages up for Remy then

That trolling

[Sina]

thank God

[Jay29]

"Currently not close to any signings before the deadline."

Arsene

Really, really hope something changes between now and the deadline.

[MJ]

L'Equipe say Arsenal have activated Remy's buyout clause and that he has to choose between AFC and CFC.

Okay pretty simple. Choose between replacing Giroud or 3rd-string Torres.

Between Wenger and Mourinho. Between good and evil.


Not surprised at Ornstein saying we're not close to anyone. Trying not to get sucked in to this Wenger poker lol.

[Twoism]

Think we will see low profile signing like Reid who i dont mind tbh.

[RealGunner]

Arsene pls

[Sina]

screw Rabiot
watched Kingsley Coman performance for Juve from yesterday and im jealous

[MJ]

Spoiler:

[RedMamba]
