Also as reported(talksport), Arsenal got 3 players from the Song Transfer to Barca. Which were Jonathan Dos Santos, Fontas and Rafinha Alcantara.

lolwat?

I don't believe that's true. Haven't seen it reported anywhere in Spain either.

And to answer THFC, if it were true, Sandro Rosell said that youth players won't be let go permanently.

Sounds like a crazy story.

Ah, ok.

Well like I said, nothing on this in the Spanish media so far, sounds a bit odd with the deal being closed for 19M already, but you never know. Barça's sporting director has said that talks are ongoing for a couple of players to move, and JDS + Fontas would be most likely I'd imagine, but then they would very likely be loan deals.

and to be clear, what the president said was that youth players leaving would be loaned or that Barça would have the option to buy back for cheap. This was following the whole Cesc saga.

Absolutely no way Arsenal will sign Llorente after spending money on Giroud. They're too similar.

Galliani on Cassano :"We have negotiations going on for Cassano, he has asked to leave the club

Hardly as a replacement for A Johnson?

Id say Juve would be very likely.

He is going to Inter, he is leaving either wa but they are looking into bringing pazzini to Milan, not a straight swap though as milan will have to give some cash as well to get him

Josh McEachran has moved to Boro on a season long loan.

Conor Sammon has moved from Wigan to Derby. The fee is believed to be 1.2 million which is a great deal for Wigan.

They need depth in that position though, something that has been killing Arsenal in recent years. It would all depend on how much the transfers fee would be.

I agree we need depth but up top hasn't been killing us - we had RVP for the past 18 months, the 6 months prior to that Chamakh picked up the slack in the only decent period he had for the club scoring 7 before Xmas for us. Prior to that Arshavin picked up the slack with 10 when RVP had his customary 4 months out. If anything killed us in that 3 year period it was at the other end of the pitch.

Still stands; I'll be amazed if anyone more than Sahin comes in for us.

Sorry, I meant depth in squad, rather than just up front. It can be seen at the full back positions especially with Jenkinson now first choice in the absence of Sagna. Midfield is a little light with the departure of Song and I'm guessing will put alot of pressure on Wilshire and Ramsey this year. Sahin is obviously a need dur to this. I think you have depth in the attacking mids/wingers, but up front I think you are still a little light with just Giroud (who wasn't all that impressive on Saturday) and Podolski. I think Llornte could be a great signing for the team. Of course if it's big asking price I can't see Arsene bowing to his controlled spending. But if you could pick him up for 20 or less I could see it happening.

2 good pieces of business.

First McEachran is great bit of business by Boro if his potential is as good as a few people think.

Second,Wigan made a profit on Sammon! Levy-esque piece of business!

Sebastion Bassong has signed for Norwich

Adebayor seems to be conceeding with his wage demands and take the pay cut so could be with Spurs very shortly. Apparently Spurs have also bid £10m for Johnson, with Levy coming out and saying he is confident in signing him. Everton, Newcastle, Sunderland and Liverpool all in for him as well.

Douglas from FC Twente to Fulham is reported as an almost done deal by VI.nl (same ones who had Buttner to Man utd last weekend)

Fulham agreed a fee of €5,5 million with Twente.
Newcastle was also interested in him and might try a last minute hi-jack.

Might not move prior september 1st since he would lose the possibility to play for Holland if he moves country before september 1st

He took Dutch citizenship last year but in order to play for the Dutch team, he needs to have lived for 5 years in Holland.

That's weird, surely if he's already got Dutch citizenship, he should be able to play.

Chelsea and City, so I was told by a mate, who supports Athletic, is Basque and is about to set his Llorente shirt alight

If those 2 are going head to head for him, at least he knows they'll be getting the best possible price for him.
