A thread dedicated to football transfers.

So i see Fabregas is running his mouth off about Barcelona again;

"I think I would like to go to Barcelona, whether or not they want me is another thing "

I read that as "Come and get me"

The only thing that may keep him at Arsenal is the fact that Barcelona don't actually need him. He is Arsenals key man and will carry on getting 1st team football which will aid his development.

If he joined Barcelona now, he wouldn't be first choice and he wouldn't be a key member of the squad which wouldn't be in his best interests imo. He should stay at Arsenal until Xavi is getting on a bit imo.

In other news, we have signed our first player;

Riveros - Paraguayan AM/RM. One to watch at the world cup. Got him on the cheap as his contract is running out.

Fabregas would be a key member of any squad he was in. I won't hold it against him if he goes, he has always been honest about the fact he wants to return one day & Wenger seems to have conceded that we wont win anything with youth alone so I'm sure if we lose Cesc all the money we get will go straight back into rebuilding the team along with the other money that's been made available. Cesc or no Cesc we will be a stronger team next season

Fabregas would be a key member of any squad he was in.

He wouldn't start for barcelona though.

Xavi and Iniesta would be first choice. Busquets is also looking like an amazing talent.

Full quote from Fab...

"I want to make a decision about my future before the World Cup

It's impossible to perform at a tournament such as the World Cup if you're not fully focused on the sporting aspects of the game. It does not benefit anyone.
If I ever leave Arsenal it will be to play for Barcelona. I would like to go, whether they want me or not is another matter.
I am 23 years old and I have a long career in front of me. I've never hidden the fact that playing for Barcelona is a dream that I would like to fulfil.
Barcelona are still playing for the Liga title and I'm still an Arsenal player. It would be a lack of respect to discuss a transfer now.
No candidates for the Barcelona presidency have approached me, so I don't feel used "

Ha ha. You've got to laugh. Arsenal fans have been worshipping a player who's heart and mind is in Barcelona.

Clearly calling for Barcelona to sign him up. Must be bored of not winning anything.

Here we go again same old same old.

Chances are he will stay at least next season.

If he goes he goes and we cash in big time. Hey for all you know we might even get two World Class players to replace him in the midfield which could even turn out for the better.

I would be surprised if Wenger even changed the goal keeper for next season. Pains me to say it but I can’t see him putting anyone on the transfer list. It’s not how he does business.

He must give Sol Campbell a year’s extension. He has been our best defender towards the end of the season and was the only player showing any passion. Even Van Persie has said you could see the difference he makes on and off the field, in the dressing room and on the pitch. He must get another season.

Wenger needs to decide if he is going to keep Gallas and if not he needs to buy two Centre backs which will not be easy. Silvest must go and im 100%sure he has played his last game thank god.

Chamakh is all but a done deal.

The Rest is up to Wenger to find some gems out there and strengthen the defence and midfield.

One thing is for sure you can't second guess Wenger in the transfer Market.

Just to highlight how accurate the information we have across all the media outlets is, The Mail also runs a similar story saying Arsenal want Barcelona to double their offer to £60m. Frankly, if I were in charge of Arsenal I'd double my response to then:

Fuck Fuck Off Off

Of course this comes on the back of Barcelona's chief mouthpiece, Xavi, wittering on for about the 50th time about Cesc's Barça DNA. Change the fucking record you big mouthed twat. I hope Big Phil gives him a boot in the teeth during the World Cup, that might shut him up for a little while. Although he'd probably go around in a Stephen Hawking wheelchair with his Speak and Spell ready to talk more about Cesc's Barcelona genes or Catalan molecules

Liverpool are the only team that came in for him that offered 90K a week for 4 years. Arsenal would no way pay that amount, neither would Spurs/Levi.

With regards to first team football. He wouldn't be guaranteed a starting place at Arsenal or Spurs. They have Nasri, Rosicky, Eboue, Walcott and Krankjar, Modric, Bale etc...

I don't think he has been promised a more central role purelt for the fact that they have Gerrard, Aquilani, Lucas, Masch etc...

He must give Sol Campbell a year’s extension. He has been our best defender towards the end of the season and was the only player showing any passion. Even Van Persie has said you could see the difference he makes on and off the field, in the dressing room and on the pitch. He must get another season.

Wenger needs to decide if he is going to keep Gallas and if not he needs to buy two Centre backs which will not be easy. Silvest must go and im 100%sure he has played his last game thank god.

Chamakh is all but a done deal.

The Rest is up to Wenger to find some gems out there and strengthen the defence and midfield.

One thing is for sure you can't second guess Wenger in the transfer Market.




Well it looks like I was right once again about Fabregas he will get at least another season with us. I think Wenger knows he will still give us 110% because he is that kind of player not like the Adebayor types of this world.

Silvest is gone thank the lord. God he was shocking at centre back.

Campbell we are still waiting on a decision from him.

Gallas is gone which is a shame and will not help our already weak backline but I guess Koscielny will fill that void. I think it was a case of one year contract was all Wenger was prepared to offer and Gallas wanted two at least. Tough call but I would of given Gallas that contract and brought Kosciely in slowly because now he's stright in. Will have to wait and see if it was the right move.

Eduardo is one that is not nice to see. Such a shame thanks a lot Taylor we won't ever forget that one. We wish Eduardo all the best and one day we might see you back at the Emirates for your new club.

I think Wenger really needs to bring in a new Keeper and another centre back as cover or we could go down the same road as last season. The goal keeper situation turned into a joke so much so every time flappy handski caught the ball a massive cheer went up. Alumina has proven time and time again he is not good enough and his mistakes in the end cost us dear and could do again.

Couple more players are needed and time to bring on Wilshere, Lansbury into the squad. It's going to be a tough season otherwise and I can see us tailing off at the end of the season without the addition of at least a keeper and one or two defenders or midfielders.

Wenger said after the end of last season it was time to spend so far he has not really delivered when you think we got 6mill for Eduardo.


See you all at the Emirates for 2010/11.

Good signing for them scummy mags. They might be getting Ben Arfa on loan too.

The might John Mensah should be signing for us on loan again. Absolute beast of a defender. It will explain the Bramble signing a bit better.

Mancini expects Balottelli to sign soon and is also after Torres. There's gonna be some bargains to be had from them. I think clubs are waiting till nearer the deadline when City will be desperate to offload.

Couple more players are needed and time to bring on Wilshere, Lansbury into the squad. It's going to be a tough season otherwise and I can see us tailing off at the end of the season without the addition of at least a keeper and one or two defenders or midfielders.

Wenger said after the end of last season it was time to spend so far he has not really delivered when you think we got 6mill for Eduardo.


See you all at the Emirates for 2010/11.


Update. Campbell gone.

Or...

Barcelona can't afford him so Arsenal have a player on their books that really doesn't want to be there. I bet he runs around pretending he's in a Barcelona shirt most of the time.

I'm 100% sure that won't happen. £32 million isn't enough for him in today's climate especially when he has 5 years left on his contract and it's great to see that Fabregas respects Arsenal's decision.

that smile he did to fans at the open training session was hilarious, totally forced and only just hid a total grimace. I reckon once he's had a few games he'll be feeling it, just hope for your sakes he doesnt do a moody one for the whole season to guarentee he moves

Everyone seems to be moaning at the way Barcelona's players have been spouting off shit to the media about the transfer. tbh i wouldn't be surprised if Fab was asking his mates to do it!

Fabregas to Barcelona next summer. At least 50M. Nailed on.



Kenwyne Jones is off to Stoke :(

If Bruce doesn't get a good replacement he'll be hung by our fans.

If we get a good season out of him and at least that much then I'd be happy especially when Ramsey is waiting in the wings to take that central midfield role.

Ramsey will never be anywhere near as good as Fab. Completely different type of player too.

Fabregas will have to be replaced by someone like Gourcuff or someone of a similar reputation. Maybe Wilshere if he lives up to the hype.

Have you actually seen Ramsey play? He's a natural in the central role. He's not as good as Fabregas was at his age, but he certainly could be given time and with Wenger's coaching.

Doubt

Ramseys a box to box, ball winning player who works best sat behind a player like Fabregas. He will never replace Fab, Wenger will need to sign a more creative, attacking player to replace him. He's got a year to find one so i'd expect a top class replacement.

Here's hoping that he gets back to his scintillating best as quickly as possible. I only saw him play once against Liverpool last season in the Carling Cup before his injury - as far as creativity and attacking prowess is concerned without a doubt he fits that criteria.

Anyone who thinks Fab won't give anything less than 110% has not got a clue what there on about.

Enough has been said on the matter now. Case closed.

Liverpool are the only team that came in for him that offered 90K a week for 4 years. Arsenal would no way pay that amount, neither would Spurs/Levi.

With regards to first team football. He wouldn't be guaranteed a starting place at Arsenal or Spurs. They have Nasri, Rosicky, Eboue, Walcott and Krankjar, Modric, Bale etc...

I don't think he has been promised a more central role purelt for the fact that they have Gerrard, Aquilani, Lucas, Masch etc...

He will be played on the right or left most of the time imo.

Silvest is gone thank the lord. God he was shocking at centre back.

Campbell we are still waiting on a decision from him.

Gallas is gone which is a shame and will not help our already weak backline but I guess Koscielny will fill that void. I think it was a case of one year contract was all Wenger was prepared to offer and Gallas wanted two at least. Tough call but I would of given Gallas that contract and brought Kosciely in slowly because now he's stright in. Will have to wait and see if it was the right move.

Eduardo is one that is not nice to see. Such a shame thanks a lot Taylor we won't ever forget that one. We wish Eduardo all the best and one day we might see you back at the Emirates for your new club.

I think Wenger really needs to bring in a new Keeper and another centre back as cover or we could go down the same road as last season. The goal keeper situation turned into a joke so much so every time flappy handski caught the ball a massive cheer went up. Alumina has proven time and time again he is not good enough and his mistakes in the end cost us dear and could do again.

Couple more players are needed and time to bring on Wilshere, Lansbury into the squad. It's going to be a tough season otherwise and I can see us tailing off at the end of the season without the addition of at least a keeper and one or two defenders or midfielders.
