Zokara to Madrid's a joke, the guy is average for Tottenham, no offence, but an average side. Diarra was risky but he's mad.
McGeady won't go to the EPL this season. He needs one more at home to be ready.

Also lol'd at zakora to Real Madrid, Diarra is a good signing a little over-priced though.
What's all this I hear about McGeady being banned from the first team?

With Bohemians FC?

Behrami is great. I coudn't see him at the blue cheese though. His persistent bugger, and he runs up the right beautifully. I watched him for Switzerland in Euro and i was impressed, and i personnaly believe he could be at a better club that West ham, but well... you never know what will happen, he only just arrived. Diarra was a big fat waist of money, and Ramos may continue to shelve out for premier league players, what does that mean when his fired? And we can't say he wont get fired because he will... this is Madrid were talking about :P
Cheers.

Terrible ... terrible ](*,) ](*,) ...:p

Realistically Wenger has to buy someone big to cover for Fab now. If he doesn't buy a big name this winter window he should be sacked. It's not helping the team by 'trusting in your squad' as they just aren't good enough yet.

Behrami is one of the few things propping up West Ham at the moment. If it weren't for him and Cole they'd be going down.

Veloso at Arsenal would be something indeed, but they'd need in excess of 10mil to get him.

Which Wenger would be afraid to use on anybody unless their french.

Arsenal may be in danger of actually signing a decent defender, after it emerged the Gunners are interested in Juventus stopper Giorgio Chiellini. (Telegraph)

Chiellini going to Arsenal would be a good buy.
Arshavin would be another great buy.
Looks like Wayne Bridge and Alex are leaving Chelsea in January, looks like we''l be getting new defenders soon.
Its good to see interest in Senna. He'll probably go to Man Shitty.
Luis Fabiano would be nice. We'll have 4 great strikers if he does arrive.

Cheillini wont' go to arsenal, he'd cost ~15mil. too rich for arsenal.
Arshavin, won't go to arsenal, he'd cost ~20mil. too rich for arsenal.
Of those linked to City, Senna is the only one that's remotely likely and Ben Haim has been tops for them, why would thy sell??
Fabiano's better off taking the game time he can get for Sevilla than warming the bench at Chelsea unless Drogba fucks off.

Chiellini and Arshavin would be good signings not likely signings for Arsenal.;)
Senna looked great at Euro '08 I don't know how he wasnt snapped up by Real or Barca.
With all the Drogba transfer talk maybe this possible Fabiano move is the sign of the departure of Didier?

I dont' think Arshavin would be good for Arsenal anyway. They've already got RVP who plays that style role.
Chillini is tops, but Juve would want to hold onto him.
Villarreal would never sell to a rival like Real Madrid or Barcelona.
And I don't think Fabiano is suited to the EPL.

Yeah Chielini is one of the untouchables at Juve up there with Buffon

Real Madrid wanted to sign Jermaine Pennant from Liverpool but his wages demands were too high and he may now end up joining Wigan. (Daily Mail)

he's a retard if thats true
jsut take a wage cut, too play for one of the best clubs, rather than join a dud club:d

Actually Wenger can afford to buy both of them but he elects not too.

Edited by tomruss20: 25/12/2008 10:06:45 PM

Yeah Wenger can afford, though i don't think he needs to buy to many.
Maybe jsut top off with one player, or two max, in January

Arsenal definently need one big signing this winter then they can look ahead and maybe make two big signings in the summer window

Edited by tomruss20: 25/12/2008 10:16:59 PM

news in arsena wenger has just stated that he will be bidding for liverpool midfield dynamo xabi alonso, personally as a liverpool fan he can fuck off. his ours

link - http://www.foxsports.com.au/story/0,8659,24842197-29437,00.html

Dont think Alonso would do such thing anyway his a passionate liverpool player

if alonso goes to arsenal than i will be a relived man!
we need a player of his quality to stabalise our midfield. denielson's avin a great season but i don't this hes at that level yet

Arsenal can afford nay player they want they are or were beofre City got takemn over in the top 3 richest clubs its just that they elect not to spend. I reckon Palladino would be perefct for Arsenal

He could but Wenger's bid would have to be bigger than the one he did on deadline day in the summer window for him.

True, but now that Alonso is a regular member of the squad i doubt whether xabi or rafa will even look at the offer. Hope not, alonso is a good player.

Can't see Alonso going to Arsenal. Liverpool wouldn't let him go.

Bahahahahahahahaha!!! What an absolute load of fucking shit. If his wage demands were too high for Real Madrid, how the fuck would Wigan be able to afford them??

Bollocks he can. Every summer he complains that Arsenal make ends meet without the massive budgets and spending of the likes of Chelsea, Man U and Liverpool. If he had the money, why would he not spend it and fix the vast shortcomings of their squad?? You know aswell as I do that Arsenal have to buy to sell because they have to sell to have the budget to buy.

Foxsports rumours are tripe. I'll eat my hat and post pictures of it in ET if that transfer goes through. It would cost them in excess of 25mil in the current transfer market anyway.

Actually it's true but Wenger opts to sign youth over experience. It better change this window!

I reckon, this window he might buy one big signing.
He's been talking about youth for the last 3 years and it hasn't worked.
He's going to ahve to buy big

Well if that WAS true, he'd have a better defence than the inarticulate thugs he's got.

Lyon striker Karim Benzema will snub Chelsea's approaches and, instead, will join Real Madrid. (Sun)

Doubt he'll sign for RM after they already signed Huntelaar. Will probably end up at Man U
