sorry lads ..I was looking for the transfer gossip page...can someone direct me to it..seems I wandered into the wrong place

GavRedKing · 21-07-2014 09:19AM

The player that brings both midfields closer is Sanchez. Even without Khedira the signing of Sanchez is the big one for Arsenal that will push them on a bit.

a support 3 of Ozil, Walcott and Sanchez is pretty impressive.

Fabregas won't even be a regular starter

In this day and age with the amount of competitions I do believe the squad is now more important than ever... No such thing as a regular these days when your one of those 'behind the striker' attackers, there are just so many of them floating about and they are an easy target to rotate, not like the back 4...

That being said, let's say we are picking Chelsea's best 11 as of right now... You honestly can't say Cesc would not be in it???

Surely it would be:
Courtois
Cesar - Ivanovic - Cahill - Luis
Matic - Ramirez/Obi/New player???
Hazard - Cesc - Oscar
Costa

That team combined with the squad/bench talent is pretty frightening

Mod Post:

Folks, there are team superthreads for discussions about team line ups/formations etc.

Lets try to keep this thread for chat about confirmed/rumoured transfers.

Have no objection to chat about the player being transferred, and the pros/cons of the transfer, but team chat will have to be taken to the superthreads.

Looks like Khedira won't be coming now as David Ornstein tweeted this:

Arsenal no longer pursuing Khedira but still in market for DMF, will sign GK & probably DF depending on Jenkinson/Vermaelen situations #AFC

He gets his info direct from the club as far as I know.

He does and he is pretty reliable for Arsenal news majority of the time but sometimes the club also use him to throw people of the scent.

We're also being linked with Bender, Schneirdlin, Bender and Carvalho.

Any if the above will do once we fill that hole I'll be happy.

Rayne Wooney · 21-07-2014 10:37AM

I'd say it's over the wages, I think he will lower his demands eventually because any clubs that will offer more are already well stocked in midfield.

He could also sit on the bench at Madrid and run down his contract I suppose

Hes only got a year left doesnt he? Sign a pre contract deal in January for a huge signing fee could be an option.

TBF he can still offer Real something in CM and theyed probably get more value by selling Isco or Modric given the time left on their contracts.

Khedira seems like the expendable one but with a year left on his deal and big wages something will have to give if they want to shift him.

Rayne Wooney · 21-07-2014 10:56AM

Didn't realise he only had a year left

In fairness Arsenal aren't going to break their wage structure for a player like Khedira, 120k-130k a week and a chance to play for a very good club should be good enough, if not I'm sure Wenger will tell him where to go

Could all be a ploy or a smokescreen from the club.......... crossesfingers

Rayne Wooney · 21-07-2014 11:22AM

Think Remy has potential to be bargain of the window if he goes for that price but I think Liverpool will struggle if they don't bring in a high quality big name player with a chunk of the Suarez money

I wonder could it be arsenal saying let's wait a year grab him for free and spend the cash on a striker .

I doubt we'll be signing a striker tbh. Wenger pretty much said there won't be any more players signed in attacking positions.

If the Khedira deal really is off then attention will be turned to he likes of Carvalho, Schneiderlin and Bender with Schneiderlin being the most likely I reckon.

DM, GK and possibly CB will be the rest of Arsenal's business this year I think with only big money being spent on the DM.

Yet if I was arsenal manager I would be thinking to myself I need another striker . I'm sure a lot of arsenal fans would be thinking that aswell .
Would you be happy to go into the new season with giroud as your main striker ?

Most definitely. With the right service he is very effective. His flaws only showed up when he had to try make goals himself.

good to see united get rid of the David Moyes bully boys such as himself and Rio. no way could Van Gal put up with their egos. But in all fairness they are well past it

Does not compute. It makes Van Gaal's job easier but he couldve handled them easily.

21-07-2014 05:35PM

Surprised Juventus signed Evra. He was clearly past it for Utd and Juve are a level above Utd.

Italian league would be a major step down though. Could probably still look half decent in that league.

Still struggling to think where he is going to fit in???? Who's getting dropped to accommodate him?

Seems like another want rather than need signing from Madrid

Someone will surely leave now,reports on Di Maria leaving seemed to have died down a bit.

Cantona's Collars · 22-07-2014 09:56AM

Andre Wisdom on loan at WBA.

Bebe confirms he's joining Benfica.

Frank Lampard not as welcome in New York as he thought he'd be according to Mark Ogden.It goes back to the time himself,Terry and Cole mocked Americans stranded at an airport post 9/11.

Kerrydude1981 · 22-07-2014 10:03AM

Vorm to Spurs is an interesting one

Is Lloris leaving or what?

No he just signed a new deal.

Probably had a clause in it that allows him to leave of they don't get Champions League.

So potentially getting his replacement in early.

Don't know where you are getting Cole from he was with Arsenal in 2001. He's not always the bad guy :pac:

Gudjohnson and Morris were the other 2 players and it wasn't an airport it was a hotel that were staying near the airport and they were kicked out for drunk and disorderly.

Cheers for clearing it up,still the Americans didn't forget or forgive.

Anyhow back on topic.
