Nope, he didnt delete anything. This is what he tweeted "@LFCZA Thanks for the publicity! When I said they'll know quickly on Sahin, they do now know. Loan deal to be announced late tonight or tmrw" He mentioned Sahin to Liverpool in the Times football fan Q&A chatroom.

sounds made up. if arsenal don't know by now what they need to do then they are reverting to last summer behavior. proactive arsenal would complete the sahin deal and then deal with song.

Nothing, basically.

Edit: Oh, it has been taken down.

It said Arsenal have told Sahin to hold his horses.

Wenger has had his eye on Sahin since he was a fetus. We defiantly have the upper hand.

Second that.

The issue is about time. If he doesn't sign quickly, we've got a chance to swoop in no matter how advanced the talk with Liverpool are. But the longer it goes on, the longer we have to agree terms with Madrid.

I understand that Madrid would rather sell to Liverpool for a couple of reasons but in moves like this, the player generally decides where he wants to go. I'm not saying it's impossible for him to choose Liverpool over us, but it's unlikely. In the same way, if Milan, Man Utd, Man City or whoever are interested, we fall further back in the pile.

I think there's enough noise to suggest we are actually interested. But lets hope Liverpool don't have him wrapped up as some are claiming. Now that the Van Persie sale is complete, we've got space and money for a new player but my gut feeling is also that he is set on Liverpool by now.

Daily Mail reckon we've told Sahin to wait as well, and apparently he's agreed.

Looks like it is going to hinge on whether or not Song leaves. If it's a loan deal with an option to sign then I don't understand why we can't bring him in anyway.

What's weird is that these Sahin rumours popped up before all this Song to Barca nonsense. Why does the Sahin deal suddenly hinge on the Song deal when just a couple of weeks ago we were prepared to bring him in anyway? Development on the Wilshere front perhaps, back sooner than expected?

I think the Song transfer has probably been on the cards a long time before the press got wind.

undoubtedly, i bet they weren't expecting it either.

According to Marca Sahin wants to join us, but Real for whatever reason, want to sell to Liverpool.

I can't think of any reason why that would be the case.

Maybe they don't like the idea of strengthening a direct rival? 😉
