Transfer Deadline Day

[Major Tom]

James Pearce @Pearcesport

I'm told Mike Ashley let Cabaye listen to phone negotiations last week + he heard Arsenal say: "25 million a lot for a reserve" #moodchanger

 

Funny.

[Baltar]

Damiao or Ba? Moses can play as a stiker as well, he did for Wigan, no?

More of a winger, no? Ba is available but always thought he was overrated. Don't know much about Damiao.

Aspas is the Sturridge backup.

I hope not.

PSG : Nouvelle offre pour Özil - But! Football Club

[Tony Moanero]

Fuck me Purslow's in the Sky studio.

 

Deary me. It really is like a fucking circus. I'm glad I binned Sky off the other year. They couldn't pay me to watch Sky Sports News and the like, the fucking knob-heads.

Outbid the fee Arsenal already agreed? Do transfers work differently to how I remember them?

thought he was having medical at the arsenal

Isn't that what Chelsea did to Spurs in the Willian deal?

Thought the player preferred Chelsea.

Come on... Leandro Damiao and we are done. Make us dream FSG-Brendan

Not going to happen.

[WhiskeyJar]

David Moyes is inside Carrington, and his primary target is probably Marouane Fellaini. But there is no doubt about it, Manchester United are leaving it late. I think Manchester United fans here at the training ground will be getting a little bit twitchy.

Deadline day: Roma reject Manchester United bid for midfielder Daniele De Rossi

thought he was having medical at the arsenal

He has had it already. He agreed to join Arsenal on Friday according to Guillem Balague. Hence Wenger acting like a smug Pedo in the Sky interview after the game yesterday.

[Saintslfc13]

Not going to happen.

 

It'd be nice but yea I don't see it either.

[Saintslfc13]

Thought the player preferred Chelsea.

 

He did. He still had a medical for Spurs though, once Chelsea was in he went for them instead.

[RoyHodgeGone]

Do Arsenal really need a player like Ozil? Not saying he isn't very good, but they've got Carzola and wiltshire. I'd have thought their problems lie elsewhere.

[spider-neil]

So Arsenal have finally replaced Fab. Annoying.

[Dracco]

And any news about lads getting out?

 

Borini??? Skrtel???.....Wisdom???

Here in Brasil the rumours just don't go away, although the President of Inter said that there had been no contact from Liverpool. He'd be great for us - two-footed, good in the air, strong. He was rumoured to be going to Spurs ages ago but then our name was in the mix. Who knows?

[Batigol]

Need one quality attacking player to be in with a good shout of a top four place. With the squad we have we can at least challenge for the first time in years but fall ultimately short. Too much of a drop in quality if there's a few injuries. Our bench yesterday spoke volumes.

You can argue with a good enough midfield the opposition will have trouble getting at their defense. Also putting shit teams to the sword counts for a hell of a lot in this league and they would certainly be able to do that with their midfield.

[WhiskeyJar]

I think we done really well in this window.

[Babb'sBurstNad]

Oezil may not directly solve their lack of steel, but he'll make them a much more potent attacking threat and they'll keep the ball even better higher up the pitch.

 

Bit surprised Wenger has gone to the top end and not bought a player with an obvious profit resale value. Perhaps PSG sniffing around tipped the balance.

not really when their midfielders are a bunch of fairies

[therevivalist]

Liverpool defender Andre Wisdom could be heading to Wigan on loan.

 

We look good defensively, overstocked in fact. The forward department looks decent as well, with Suarez coming back and the addition of Moses. My slight concern is in the midfield area. We might try out, if necessary, one of Ilori or Sakho in midfield as cover for Lucas, both reputedly being players with pace and technique.
