Don't call me James wrote:Speaking of Nastasic, he's legit, I don't why City treated him like that. 5m or 15m he's worth it regardless.

I agree, it is a mystery for me . it 's time to come back with mancini imho.

Source?

Also from the above list, De Jong and Abate are likely to renew for the record.

Does RG still have a crush on Gourcuff? hmm

How ironic.

He said: "Diaby hasn’t a mental problem, but a problem of injury. He is a player for whom I have great respect. Whenever he returns, he is injured and he goes from zero. He was destroyed by a bad tackle.

"If he comes back, I will keep him. I always believed in him. In football, the most important thing is health."

Looks like Diaby might get another contract at Arsenal. cheers

are you looking for a player as Cerci?

Sky Italy says there are 2 Premier League clubs ( both in top 6 ) who offer money for Cerci ( this because Inter wanted him on loan ) , and these 2 clubs are Arsenal and Southampton hmm

I wonder if it sounds as a BS

by Twoism Wed Nov 19, 2014 11:09 pm

Dont think we're one of the 2, we have too many players similar to Cerci

straight swap with Poldi...

More junk rumors ... "sensational" £60 million swoop for Jackson Martinez and Juan Quintero!

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/537219/Arsenal-double-swoop-Jackson-Marintez-Juan-Quintero

Martinez is obviously not going to be an option, but actually I could see Quintero as a target, especially if he were to come in as a Rosicky/Cazorla replacement next summer. Links to him last summer, too.

Mertesacker says him and Özil have spoken to Khedira about joining Arsenal. Bayern deny rumors of a pre-contract, so that window is still open-ish.

Arsenal may swoop for Fabian Schär in January, as his contract runs out at the end of the season so Basel will want to get a little something for him. This is the only story in weeks that I think might have some substance to it. Forgive the crap source here, then, with its auto-playing video.

Hull LB Andrew Robertson also a target for Arsenal and Man Utd - may cost £12m, says the Express:

http://www.express.co.uk/sport/football/539077/Arsenal-and-Man-Utd-in-battle-for-12m-Hull-star-Andy-Robertson

Plus there has been talk of Dinamo Zagreb midfielder Marcelo Brozovic, who has been linked with with moves to Borussia Dortmund, Besiktas, and Milan, in addition to Arsenal.

by Kick Mon Nov 24, 2014 10:13 pm

Why another LB?
Sure a RB, CB and DM should be top priority?

by MJ Tue Nov 25, 2014 12:34 am

Welcome to Arsenal, where LBs are really just backup CBs.

by Chumlum Tue Nov 25, 2014 1:51 pm

We should sign Ricardo Rodriguez as our new CB, that guy's pretty good.

by Sina Wed Nov 26, 2014 11:36 pm

Schar getting ruined by Benzema

John Stones>>>>>>>>>>>

by urbaNRoots Thu Nov 27, 2014 8:38 am

John Stones getting ruined by some Celta Vigo scrub.

Fabian Schar >>>>> Razz

Btw I rate both of them but don't think we need either of them. We need a left sided CB, and I haven't seen them play LCB (maybe they can play that role but I've not seen it).

I know people will argue that it is irrelevant whether he plays LCB or RCB but I disagree, Koscielny is a different level when he plays LCB for example, and why Mertesacker-Monreal is better than Chambers-Mertesacker.

We need a LCB because we got Chambers who is backup for Mertesacker but we've got no senior backup for Koscielny. Of course it would help if said CB can play both LCB and RCB equally well.

Various rumblings about us going after an unhappy Moutinho. He'd presumably be a long term successor to Arteta, ie a calm organized passer. Not a natural or traditional DM.

Granted the credibility of the rumor is super low but it's along the lines of the kind of counterintuitive move Wenger sometimes makes. So it is an interesting thing to consider, even if just hypothetically.

by EL Patron Thu Nov 27, 2014 4:09 pm

Moutinho is very good, not what we need but better than Arteta and Flamini in that role. I'd take him right now considering Arteta can't complete a full 90 anymore and Flamini is hopeless.

by MJ Thu Nov 27, 2014 4:18 pm

Would hope for someone more physically imposing than Moutinho. Would be quite happy to have a competent distributor like him but would like to think that we'd be able to find those type of qualities in someone stronger.
