I heard we signed a Dortmund midfielder today. Any truth in the rumour?

Something on twitter about Thomas Eisfeld, who doesn't even have a Wiki page and has recently recovered from a season long cruicate injury.

I'm told #AFC definitely in for Thomas Eisfeld. Deal not done yet, but player was at London Colney today for talks.

Was this the miracle wenger was talking about with an annoying grin?

Thomas WHO?! This MUST be the guy to help us to fourth spot. I hate being an Arsenal fan during transfer windows in general, but this window is taking the piss.

Bit more on Eisfeld: he trained with the first-team this morning, and was assessed by Arsène Wenger. Deal is imminent. #AFC.

Just 19 apparently, so probably a reserve team signing.

I have a theory.

We do things to piss off the clubs who rebuff our lowball bids for their star.

No hazard eh? Well I'll show you *snatches park from the taxi

No gotze eh? Well I'll show you...

Better theory. We were never after their stars. We get the scrubs we always wanted.

You may have a point there, I was thinking the same thing, i could imagine arsene being that petty.

But can anyone say something about this guy? never heard of him.

i'm not passing any judgement on this guy's ability, but only at Arsenal would you see a headline like this: "Arsenal sign 19 year old German from Dortmund" and it's not Gotze, more like gotchya. fuck off.

I heard this kid is the next Walcott.

You've just got to laugh haven't you.

You'll be raving about him soon tricky

Hopefully to a good woman in the sack

We've always signed a couple of kids in the January window.

Arsenal are reportedly in negotiations with Seville, to sign 20-year old Japanese striker Hiroshi Ibusuki.
