Don't forget that they sold us Özil to partly fund Bale :lol:

That too :lol: so debuchy to be announced Monday ??? Excited I am

Ah Perez . The gift that keeps on giving . Still laugh at the fact he had so many attacking players he had to play Beckham ?? Or was it ziziou at rb😉😉

Apparently Remy is a no go because of wage demands, but Newcastle are going to fork out for him. Any idea what he is asking?

Sauce ??

Probably wanting something like what a first XI player would want.

We did pay b52 and park alot . Why can't we do it for another squadie :lol:

Sanchez effect already happening with players who aren't even with the squad :lol:

Feel kind of sorry for Mesut having his legs shown off next to Poldi :lol:

Just generic rumour mill flavour

Arsenal Australia members get 40% off some* Puma gear apparently.

*not sure if new jerseys qualify, but I hope so!

They don't . Apparently some tried to find the kit but no luck .

Not sure if Ramsey or Giroud :lol:

Ok so talk is that Jenks would leave on loan with Manquillo coming in. Which makes a lot more sense. Apparently we're negotiating with Madrid over whether the Manquillo deal should be a loan or permanent. My guess would be the club might hope for loan with an option at the end of the deal. With Debuchy turning 29 this month bringing in Manquillo, along with Jenks could shore up our right side for the next 10 or so years potentially.

Should also say a loan for Jenks makes so much sense. He needs some regular game time.

So apparently our list is

1-Khedira
2-Bender
3-Schneiderlin

And we're in for Ospina.

I want our last resort option :lol:

Potentially by next Friday, we could have signed Khedira,Sanchez,Debuchy,Manquillo and Ospina all in one week :lol:

Either of those 3 I would be happy with in the midfield. Hopefully less injuries this season and wenger gonna have some big headaches selecting teams which would be welcome I'm sure.

Stan Collymore claims he's spoken to an agent who has said we're in 'advanced' talks with Khedira. :lol: Sorta can't believe this could actually be happening.

Amazing the difference a few signings can make. Last summer before Özil I would have been really negative about this and expected us to not be able to get it done. But now after Özil and Sanchez who knows :lol:

Could also say the same about the possibility of getting Lars Bender.

As good as Khedira is and as good a signing he would be. I can't see Arsenal making him their highest paid player. And it looks like that would have to be the case.

Yeah that's the big stumbling block, and why Bender is probably the more likely option.

You still need a real DM. Not Khedira. IMO.

All the games against big sides when you got destroyed was because of this.

I rate Khedira very highly though.

Some talk that Serge Gnabry could potentially move on loan to Everton or Southampton. Would be a very good move either way.

Everton maybe but Southampton has every chance of being an absolute shambles this season.

Not sure I'm keen on Khedira. As others have said, for a "defensive" mid he spends a lot of time in the oppositions box.

In my ideal starting XI, assuming we sign a DM, Jack doesn't start - which upsets me. But I don't really see much that Khedira does that Jack wouldn't for us. I don't see us playing 4-2-3-1 with Jack and Rambo being the 2 working, and similarly I don't see Khedira and Rambo being the 2 working together.

Khedira to me is a very Alex Song type DM, in that he doesn't do enough defending.

:') Ozil, Per and Poldi :')

Nvm no he wasn't :lol:

This does look pretty funny right now

Considering his decade long bromance with Poldi, our previous interest and the fact that Pep seemingly thinks he takes too long to release the ball- I wonder if Schweini is a possible target.

Edited by jlm8695: 14/7/2014 04:40:50 PM

:lol: So many people saying the same thing after those pictures of him and Poldi this morning.

The more I think about it the more I am on board with getting Khedira in. I don't think it is a big deal if he isn't a 'real' DM. With the pivot we play I don't think it's such a huge deal to have one.

Poldi and Schweini even sharing women now.

Speaking of Khedira, Sport are claiming that a move for Khedira on a 4 year deal is all set.

The thing with Khedira is that he'll seemingly restrict Rambo going forward but the more I think about it the more happy I am with the signing.


With a DM who sits and Ramsey, it would be quite easy for the opposition to mark Ramsey out of the game going forward, knowing the DM won't push up. With the threat of Khedira and Ramsey both bombing forward at alternative times we would look a lot more dangerous playing from deep.

I've also come to accept that Wenger will never have us play with a proper DM, and I can't think of too many better pivot combinations in world football than one that consists of Khedira-Ramsey.
