At the moment it's more likely we'll sign no one, especially if we're haggling over price on players that are in demand.

Absolutely we're gonna sign more players I can't get over the negativity about arsenal..its almost as bad as the sh¡t that Alan smith and Paul merson come out with...
Tune in lads

I think there will be a couple of new signings but I'll be very pleasantly surprised if any of them are of 'marquee' stature.

Id be of the same opinion really its not very often Wenger comes out and openly states he after players esepcially stating the positions that hes looking for.

Only problem is now that hes said hes looking for a DM well be linked with any player who can fit that description.

Just roll on Friday so its all done and dusted and hopefully with a few new additions.

Schweinsteiger?!Give over lads.

:pac: as I said well be linked wih every player from now till Friday, seen that one and like a lot of the others well be reading dont believe it for a second, hes one the few players who could be considered loyal these days, plus hes not what were looking for great player but I dont think the the defensive player Wenger has in mind:p.

There will be a **** storm of rumour flying around this week Id love to say ill be avoiding here and twitter nut nope i wont be.

Interesting change of philosphy from Wenger perhaps. After years of being much more inclined to go overseas to find talent it seems like the lack of loyalty a lot of these players bring with them has led him to realise the importance of buying British players. When you look at Arsenal's main rivals you can see he has a point. Gerard, Lampard, Terry, Scholes, Giggs and Ferdinand have all spent most of their career with the one club. Arsenal seem to be continually rebuilding.... be interesting to see how far he pursues this new policy....

you should get a job at the Daily Mail mate, thats 3 months work you've got there!

This could be the appropriate tactic against stoke. Play the high ball with a few dribble nut megs and they won't know what hit them!

The above rumour with Schweinsteiger; I don't bite for that one. We make a landmark signing and it's another midfielder? One that plays attacking and central, a position we probably have the most cover for at the moment? Ramsey, Arteta, Diaby, Cazorla, Rosicky, Oxlade Chamberlain, Wilshere could all play the Schweinsteiger role. Plus, there would've been some major rumblings in the jungle if that one were on the radar.

Any details on that source from twitter, emergingstar? That does sound interesting. If you look at the current market, it is pretty open in comparison to the options we had last year, and I'm guessing that the max Wenger would pay on a player would be near the 20 mill mark. Anything above, plus wages would not be in line at all.

But back to the point of the current market. There are a lot more talented players available to Arsenal for around that price and less now. I remember last year after we lost Mata, the transfer window got extremely cynical, from a fan's point of view. This season, I think the opposite has happened and we pretty much could bid for anyone. I think, Wenger's liberal (not the right word, but close) spending in the market this summer has proved this. I certainly think we'll be seeing one, may be two more signings. But bums need to be shifted first. Seriously, what's the craic with Bendtner? For all the teams that have been spouted as in showing interest in senor green jocks, nothing's really floating yet. And I don't think Wenger's holding out for a high price either.

Apparently Mannone is playing goal for Arsenal today

I'll take a point right now.

Forwards better be on form today - We will concede at least 2 with him in goals

On the other hand a good showing could make his Arsenal career. It could equally be his last game for Arsenal

Well what a bad way to start the Arsenal day, I hope he is ready for some arial bombardment....

I think the Ox could be the man for the winner today, some nice link up play with Cazorla or a good shot, we haven't scored a decent strike since Artetta against city last year iirc.

Would just love to see us throw off the shackles today and win by a few goals, hopefully the new players are settling in well now after the game last week and a good weeks training.

Schweinsteiger obviously :pac:

There reason there all going on about a marquee signing I cause wenger said he would spend up to 20m on the right special player
That fella who is always right on twitter said wenger is after someone who before thought he had no chance with but he does now

I couldn't care weather we sign a marquee signing or a dodgy 17yr old as long a the signing works out and makes the squad better. Very few players out there will make the team better but we need a few to bolster the squad

the papers are going with tiote & some are even mentioning cabaye

tiote makes more sense & would be a v.good signing - no waiting to see if he can adapt to PL football etc.



also stoke fans are planning the worlds largest 'do the wenger' or something like that its called
