Stop bumping the thread, Rex.

Stop bumping the thread, Klaus.

You can't bump a thread just to tell someone who wants the bumping to stop to stop bumping!

Sorry Klaus, it's in my nature.

Sahin playing left wing against Celtic right now. I think he came on at half time. I'm starting to wonder if he might stay at Madrid this season as a bit of a utility player.

Don't even think about bumping this thread, Rex.

My bump was a legitimate bump wasn't it Klausie? Had a little bit of info, so it was ok? He's still in the States, so won't be any update on his situation until he gets back I would imagine.

Was a legit bump Tim, no matter how much Klaus tries to argue otherwise.

It was the good kind of bump. Rex would have you believe that all bumps are bad (unless he's the one doing the bumping), but really, how would we be able to post in that case? He obviously didn't think that through.

That there by Klaus Tim, is what is known as a bad bump. Don't let his shenanigans fool you! I'll just reiterate - your bump was legit.

Hope we sign Sahin. Cracking player.

You know the rumors have dried up when people start to talk about topic bumping.

as writes that sahin will leave this week and most likely sign for us. think this will happen.

I would be amazed if he signed for us.

We look to be pretty well stocked in central midfield at the moment.

If this will happen, it'll definitely be the end of Rosicky. Can't do much good to Ramsey's playing time as well. I wouldn't complain, mind.

Think Ramsey should be loaned out, he needs to be playing regularly.

A number of websites running that story today apparently. All of them are referring to AS though: http://www.itv.com/sport/football/article/2012-08-13/football-rumour-arsenal-favourites-to-land-sahin-on-loan/

http://sportwitness.ning.com/forum/topics/spanish-press-say-arsenal-will-complete-the-signing-of-nuri-sahin

The site in the second link has a side menu where de Gea is being compared to a Llama so it's probably a credible publication.

Aaaaah that brings back memories of the Arshavin transfer thread

Still have no real feeling on whether or not this one will happen.
I think Wenger's definitely circling and ready to move in on another deal, can't figure out who it is though.

the ol' three eyed wenger!

Those new spectacles of his gonna win us the god damned league

The frame even matches his shirt and everything... Stylish man, old Arsene.

I think not. Would be a poor career decision once again for the lad.

If he goes to Liverpool, Rodgers is going to have a hell of a team soon. 2 ball playing mid that he loves to build his team upon.

I can't see why he would want to go to Liverpool at all, there's a chance that he's only going to be there for one year and so there's really no long term progress to look forward to.

Supposedly going to be resolved this week though.

edit:

Brendan Rodgers worked as Chelsea reserve team coach when Mourinho was there, and they've stayed in touch

In cases such as this, its generally the player who decides where he wants to go on loan. He's not a youngster going out to gain experience. Also the Madrid executives are not going to give Liverpool favorable terms because Mourinho and Rodgers may or maynot be bff.

bloke on twitter saying he's signed a 1 year loan with us with an option to buy for 12m

I hope so, on paper this should be the most straight forward transfer of the summer.

if he signs for liverpool it is because we couldn't agree fee/wages. there's absolutely no way he'd prefer liverpool to arsenal...

He won't sign for Liverpool.

I reckon he won't.

I reckon he might.

I hope he won't.
