Per Mertesacker a gunner!

Absolutely fantastic signing if it's true. L'Equipe cited their own sources (not 3rd party) and they're always money when that happens.

Finally!!!

CB of Mertesacker and Kos. Put Vermaelen as the LB. Sagna as the RB. Solid defense right there... and you have Santos and others as backups.

All that's missing is a playmaker. Come on Arsene. Sign Martin!!! And i'll eat my crow with extra sauce if this happens.

Every report out there, including some very reliable ones, are saying the deal was struck last night. Nothing is official until it's official. Clubs lie all the time btw until everything is done to squeeze as many $ as possible.

Not the ones i quote. L'equipe is not a tabloid. It's like the BBC coming out and saying a deal is done... they never stick their own necks out (which they're doing here) unless they have solid information.

I didn't call L'equipe a tabloid (see blue).

Also, BBC has a tabloid section that regularly runs stories about how *Insert Player Here* has signed for *Insert Club Here* or will do so in the coming hours.

But this was not a tabloid news release... it was bolded at the beginning "per L'Equipe sources". They never, ever do that unless they have serious info. Trust me. I follow french media a lot.

Finally Wenger has made a great signing.

by RedOranje Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:06 am

It never fails... as soon as someone includes "trust me..." I know they're not worth trusting. Rolling Eyes

Cant find any videos on him but my friends are saying that he is great so this is great news for arsenal.

Well... then you'd be on top of that list. You're not worth talking about actually. What a waste of a mod you are with these comments.

Two days to sign a sense of humour, lad... best getting cracking.

Sense of humor? You must be the only one that laughs at your jokes.

Not really he's one of the funniest guys on the forum, i do understand his humor is an aquired taste though....

@since1996

You have all but signed Andre Santos for a LB, only really a AM left really if i was an Arsenal fan i'd be happy the way things are looking.

by RedOranje Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:15 am

Well, if you can't laugh at yourself...

Fair enough. If he was joking and i missed the humor while others understood it, it's on me for not getting it lol. It's happened before and it will happen again.

Dont we have the general section for all the cat fights?

by Guest Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:25 am

It wasn't really a fight lol. It was a misunderstanding and it's resolved. I didn't get his sense of humor.

Besides, he's a mod. I'm one click away from disappearing. It would be like a kid with a stone trying to take down a fighter jet.

by RedOranje Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:28 am

Admin powers aren't for disagreements about bad jokes, so you've got no worries on that. No hard feelings, Sportsczy?

But the sofas in here are so much nicer for sharpening claws...

by Great Leader Sprucenuce Tue Aug 30, 2011 11:29 am

How reliable are Kicker?

They are saying Arsenal have bid 40 million euro for Gotze i dont believe this for a second but i'd like to know if they are reliable in any case....

Because who knows maybe the 8-2 made Wenger go mad with power lol

Never any bad feelings to begin with RedOranje... my blood runs hot at times when i get annoyed. My bad for making a mountain out of a mole hill and having a limited sens of humor.
