Re: The Official Winter Transfer Rumours Thread

[MJ]

So with Rosicky needing surgery and looking more and more unlikely to be able to play many games this season, and with Wilshere being Wilshere, does anyone think we should bring in another midfielder this summer?

Given the fact they're all facing the end of their contracts too, yes. We could definitely use with a CM as it is, let alone thinking about when we'll be losing three next summer.

[RealGunner]

May I suggest Fekir, Goetze and Draxler?

El Desmarque, a good paper for Sevilla news, has its take on the Krychowiak situation:

http://sevilla.eldesmarque.com/sevilla-futbol-club/74513-calma-tensa-con-krychowiak

Basically says: despite recent reports in England about Arsenal wanting Krychowiak, Sevilla aren't worried as Arsenal have yet to make their interest known officially, and the player hasn't told them anything about wanting to leave. They speculate that Arsenal might change that, though, since they had a scout at the Super Cup game.

[RealGunner]

Think Arsene is playing some waiting game

He has eyes on someone else but will go for Kryponite at the last minute

[El Gunner]

More likely our board members don't even know what a Krychowiak is.

Very possible. Arsene hasn't quite given up on Benzema yet.

Sometimes Google translate unearths some real poetry.

It will be necessary therefore expect movements Arsenal soon, although the Sevilla for now is quiet, although the fly stops not be behind the ear and if Fazio last summer is still present in the noble plant Nervion.

The Daily Mail claiming Joel Campbell wants to force his way into Wenger's plans despite interest from Palermo.

Not sure if that's their own news or they're basing it off of this vague quote from his agent:

"He always has a market in major European leagues, but he renewed with Arsenal in January and then after the transfer to Villarreal went back to the club."

Probably best for all parties he finds a permanent transfer. £7m would be great.

With a sell on and buy back clause of course

Grzegorz Krychowiak would fit in perfectly at Arsenal - but the Gunners would face a battle to lure him, according to Spanish football expert Graham Hunter.

“First of all it is news to Sevilla that Arsenal have looked at Krychowiak,” Hunter told Sky Sports News HQ.

“You could accept that Sevilla are Europe’s great selling club – with Porto they are probably the shrewdest at buying short and selling long and making huge profits.

“It's not unheard of that with Krychowiak, who has been there a season, they might double or treble their money after 12 months.

“But, they have sold a huge amount of players in the last few seasons to make them an immense amount of money.

“They are guaranteed in the Champions League, their revenue streams have increased beyond all recognition and, because of that, they will not want to sell. They will no longer be the cash and carry for bigger clubs to come in with heavy budgets.

“If Arsenal decide that this fierce, tough-tackling, clever, goal-scoring central-midfielder - who meets the criteria of what critics of Wenger have been saying Arsenal have needed for three four or five seasons – then yes, he would suit them.

“However, if they are to get him they will have to ram-raid Sevilla to convince them to part with him ahead of what is a Champions League season for the Andalusians.

“He’s the right player, but late timing coupled with a Sevilla side who are cash rich [could see him stay].”

Krychowiak on #Arsenal interest: "There are offers that are simply hard to reject. I wouldn't turn them down."

[Sri]

Arsenal may have been dealt a blow in their pursuit of Grzegorz Krychowiak after Sevilla confirmed the midfielder suffered a broken rib.

Reports on Thursday claimed the Gunners were willing to meet the Poland international’s €30m release clause, but he now faces a spell on the sidelines after picking up an injury during Tuesday’s 5-4 defeat to Barcelona in the UEFA Super Cup.

A statement on Sevilla’s official website read: “The Pole’s return to training will depend on his pain threshold.

“The team put in a titanic effort on Tuesday, Krychowiak even ending the game bandaged with a broken rib.”

Krychowiak on #Arsenal interest: "There are offers that are simply hard to reject. I wouldn't turn them down."

Was going to post it and some polish guy on Twitter translate it and it has nothing to do with Arsenal.
The paper talks about him getting ready for a National game.

Hahahahha what a bullshit. Let me start with saying that I'm Polish and work for the newspaper "Przegląd Sportowy". This linked article is from "Fakt", who we share a newsroom with.

There wont be any rumors until Sunday, when the legendary Tactician faces the Engels Eye Pardew.

That would be great. Just imagine the lads getting injured on purpose to get some Eva action

[Jay29]

A couple of weeks ago I'd have been delighted with Krychowiak but the more I think about it the more I believe he's not the type of midfielder we need. We really need a controller; another Arteta. We've seen how limited Coquelin is.

Can't think of who that player would be, though. I'd accept a "good" player for the position so long as he's the right type of midfielder. Maybe Xhaka from BMG.

[RealGunner]

Were linked with Camacho a while back. Won't mind him.

But there are literally no Registas out there of Arsenal quality.

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Regista you say?

Spoiler:

[Jay29]

Gonalons is a name I've just remembered, but I think that boat has sailed.

The Ginger Pirlo would be ideal.

[Sina]

Thiago Motta/Bruno Soriano
wont happen since Arteta is still here although he may Not even make enough contribution throughout the season!!

[RealGunner]

Think we might see Arteta start against Palace lol

[Sri]

Illara?

[urbaNRoots]

William Carvalho springs to mind immediately, he's a very good passer and doesn't avoid responsibility in the build up of an attack while doing his defensive duty. He's young as opposed to Thiago Motta/Soriano who would've been the options if we did not have Arteta/Flamini in the squad.
