Debuchy signing for Newcastle

Good addition for them

Weird one that transfer. Didn't they quarrel over the exact asking price in the summer, only to sign him now?

Day 3 (TD minus 28 )
Nothing concrete to report.
Score still 0 (zero)

Bet we come out of this window looking like muppets.

Djourou out for some minimal fee, Squil/Chamakh/Arsh still here, Denilson/Park remain on loan....and no one of note in.

Chamakh to West ham heating up. I'm quite pleased if the deadwood are finally being shipped out,

He will love it in Faces.

Can we not give them all away for free?

Brace yourselves, here's the latest 🙂

"[I'm expecting it to be] very calm because, first of all, I believe there is little money and what can happen is basically a transfer market within the English clubs," Wenger told Arsenal Player.

"That is more difficult than with the foreign clubs. Overall, I believe that not a lot will happen.

"That [the economic situation] could [affect movement], because the clubs have to look at the finances. What makes the clubs are the fans and what makes the fans is the economy. On that front, nobody is really sure what will happen in 2013.

" But Wenger believes there is no shortage of quality available, especially with a number of experienced players available on free transfers at the end of the season

"A lot [are] over 30," he said. "Of course, they are all great players they have proven that
"It shows that the market will be more difficult for the players because the fact that you have so many top-quality players available means that [the clubs] are cautious as well."

😆 And there it is.
It's the eeconooomeee stooopid
:gah::gah:😆

😆 "what makes the fans is the economy" he really is doing his best to burn his bridges before he leaves

He is making things bad for himself because we wont get top 4 without signings which will inevitably see him getting sacked in the summer due to the pressure.

what does that even mean?

he's risking dimishing the fan base/matchgoers with this drivel, the lack of quality performances to match some of the hightest ticket prices in the land, and by dismissing our concerns

Wenger will never get sacked here Sam.

Sounds like he's trying to convince some old player he's better off with us. Lampard?

Who knows?
It's only transfer window day 4 and already I would not mind if someone were to give him a bit of a slap to snap him out of this mood.

We would have signed Holtby if we really wanted him here.

He's not to be fair, but I would have taken him any day.

Holtby looks average not a signing that we need IMO,

Idiotic move by Ba. A pint says he won't start more than half the remaining league games.

I reckon he doesn't care. Knows his legs could give up at any moment so he's taking the biggest pay day he can get.

Didn't realise Ba had a valve in his forehead

Yeah. I'm glad we didn't sign him now. He's already caving in.

His obsession with Torres I presume based on the money he spent on him - an ego thing as opposed to a football thing.

It was obviously his signing too.

Of course, he was the same with Shevchenko.

The Schevchenko experience probably makes this one more of a point to prove for him.
It must on some level infuriate beyond words that he's spent that kind of money on two players who have underwhelemed and underperformed.

Personally, I would put good money on Ba finishing top scorer.

Ba is quality and will improve Chesea loads. Great signing.

I wish Kroenke would make an ego signing

I would forgive the club for the last four transfer windows if we were to sign Jovetic.

Has he been playing better lately Klaus?
I remember you said a while back that he's been patchy this season.

He's been injured a bit during the fall but he's been pretty good this season. You still get the feeling he's running at 70% of what he's capable of though, but the talent is immense.

Are Fiorentina willing to sell him?
If so won't they ask for a fortune which Wenger would never pay?
I no longer watch italian football so i am wondering how much he would be worth?
