Tracking summer window rumours/lies

Cannon

Wenger: "We're following Clément Grenier. I like his intelligence and his vision of the game." TF1

" Yes, he reminds me of Fabregas" TF1

No more frenchies!

I really hope it doesn't get any further than just following him.

😐 I kind of fear truth in that rumour.
Le 10 Sport in France reported a few weeks ago that we were going to make a double bid for Gonalons and Grenier.
Lyon being in a vulnerable financial state....
It sounds very Wenger.

Grenier did manage to score this supreme goal recently, can't say I know enough about him to say whether or not this is a regular occurence or an accurate indicator of his talent.

Claudius

the question for Wenger is what is the best way to split 70 pounds?
a) two ways
b) five ways
c) don't spend it (at) all

asajoseph

Never been much of a goalscorer - until this season, he'd only ever scored one goal for Lyon, and never scored in the French youth teams either.

Seems he scored a handful of nice goals this year though.

Timbob

Is he no good or something?

est

He wouldn't make us any better than we are at the moment.

asajoseph

I don't actually know much about him. Only watched Lyon a couple of times in the EL this season, and he didn't really stand out

FantasticMrFox

Fuck sakes. Why cant we just stop fucking around and get quality players.

Skimmed through the Grenier thread on an OL forum.
He's not worshipped that's for sure (remember reading the Kos thread on a Lorient forum before we signed him and they loved him).
From the bits and pieces that I read: he's technically gifted, shows flashes of genius, can pull the strings in midfield or can go missing.
He seems injury prone and not exactly what you'd call robust.
He's certainly not at the level of development or maturity where we could count on him to significantly improve our midfield.
A gamble, a project.
Most worryingly the player he was most often compared to was Gourcuff

Well thats not encouraging.

asajoseph

To be honest, sounds like the sort of thing Wenger would say in response to a direct question about a player whilst watching a game. He says this kind of thing often, about some seriously hopeless players (Robbie Earnshaw springs to mind!), and it never goes anywhere

Clrnc

I watched him a couple of times, not impressed. Certainly not even at Nasri level when he joined us.

lorddulaarsenal

Cabella's the one we should go for

Cannon

So a week after the first rumor of CFC willing to David Luiz, Duncan Castles says Mourinho is open to selling Luiz and Torres if the right money is offered.

What is intriguing is that Castles is someone who is known to be close to both Mou and AVB.

Mindgames!!

asajoseph

I'd have Luiz

Armor

According to twitter Grimandi is watching Grenier tonight (who has just scored). Might be becoming a thread worthy rumour, i think there might be something in this.

y va marquer

Yep, scarily I think there is something in the Grenier story.
Can't quite work up the enthusiasm to start his thread though.

Gazza M

so our most solid links are coming from low rent players in ligue 1. im shocked.
