Conveniently? I gyazo'd the tweet, and cut out the retweets and favourites.



This doesent change the fact that we were in for Higuain now does it? Arsenal fans knew it, everyone reported it, BBC, Sky, all the reliable news sites. A date of a tweet doesn't change anything, it just confirms absolutely what we already knew.

Except didn't Wenger say they never lodged an official bid?

so theo and mikki are under injury clouds, and were going to assess santi after he comes back from intl duty

I heard Sagna injured as well?

yep . sigh typical arsenal again.. wenger will spend again late . also mirror is saying wenger to bid 51 mil for luis :lol:

Yeah ankle injury, that one's not as massive a deal because, by all reports it's nothing serious and Jenks can come straight in.

so is sanga going to get a new contract? we get rid of dead wood and we bring in sangago ..

You guys are going to be so vulnerable down the right this season :lol:

The same personnel didn't do too bad last season :lol:

Wow, hats off to Arsene for this one:



A very polite way of saying Gervinho, you're shit. :lol:

A shame it didn't work out with him really.

Pretty much haha, I think the premier league was just too fast for him in the end.

I've decided to place all my EPL-related thoughts in this thread, seeing as though every man and his dog supporting any other side comes in here anyway :lol:

:lol: at Moyes crying about the fixture list. It's like SAF is still there :lol:

Gervais is a good player but the prem isn't the league for him , plenty of players flopped in the premiership but end up superstars elsewhere .good luck to him . Also apparently Luis Gustavo could be signed before tommorow :lol:

I am fully prepared for Flamini being our defensive midfield signing :lol:

5 years in the Serie A will have done his game a world of good.

I wouldn't be totally against it, wouldn't be my preferred signing but definitely not a bad option, especially considering he wouldn't be expected to play week in week out.

Also didn't realise how much he played in Italy, only had the 1 season where he missed a massive amount of games and he's still not even 30.

If he did come back and he is even half the player he was in his last season with us he would be a good signing.

Bring him and Cesc home

Flamini this summer, Cesc next summer ;)

Would love Flamini here again..
We are so fucked injury wise at the moment. Only 4 fit defenders, Arteta out for over a month is a massive loss, and there's no guarantee Rambo is fit to play on Saturday.



Is looking like our likely lineup.

Happy with that lineup, worryingly thin beyond that though :lol:

If this Flamini thing is going to happen I get the feeling there's a chance it could happen tonight so he's registered in time for Villa.

---------Schez-----------
Jenk---Mert---Kosc---Gibbs
-Rambo--Flamini--Wilshere-
--------Carzola-----------
----Walcott---Giroud------

That 442 lineup is a good way to force in all of our best players, but there's just no real width with Wilshere and Ramsey in the wide spots.


I feel like Arteta never gets enough love in these lineups.
Our best passer last season, our best defending midfielder last season, our hardest worker last season etc.
I don't see why he should be on the bench for anyone.

Miki won't be benched for anyone don't worry about that, which is probably why Flamini isn't a bad option since he wouldn't be expecting to play every week

Agree, but I'd expect a bigger signing. Wenger is kind of in the position where he has to bring in someone big now anyway.

Worryingly lacking defensively also.

There was an article I read this morning about Wenger being "on the hunt" for signings. If I was an arsenal fan I'd be very worried by this.

He'll sign someone random like chu young again :lol:

Not overly worried about the defense, that being said we could do with another CB, or RB if these Sagna to CB stories are true.
