I think that link means silly season is officially here. Gonna read a whole load of bullshit for the next couple of months.

Nonsense I reckon

Shane long is a friend of a friend. Long says Skrtel is the dirtiest CB in the league. Sly kicks all the time when he was marking him said it was nearly impossible to run after 70 min from all they kicks in the calfs.

He looks all over the shop for NT and for liverpool think Rafas strict organization made him look half decent but he looks shocking now.

Plus he just has to be a Neo Nazi.

Are any one of those four much better than what we have already?

Grenier and maybe gonalons seem realistic.

Gomis is shit. We'd basically have busta rhymes circa 2003 playing upfront for us

I have a feeling Wenger might move for Gourcuff. I don't think he can resist the temptation for a few million. Back when he was any good he was right up Wenger's alley. Lyon must be dying to get him off their wage bill right now.

Think the gourcuff ship sailed ages ago.

Jeez I'll be well annoyed if Gourcuff ends up here

I would not be happy about that.
Never been impressed by him.
Did not like him then, don't like him now.
We have more than enough crocks and wage leeches already.

I don't think we will try to get anyone from there apart from Grenier. But, judging from his contract situation, Wenger's comment and his position not being a priority for us, him coming here looks highly probable.

Wonder if those free kicks Grenier's scored recently are something that he'll continue to produce?

I'm leaning towards us signing nobody from France this summer.

You don't think Wenger will be drawn to buying a player like Grenier at a knock down price?
Think we're more likely to go German for our signings?

Well, we'll get Sanogo obviously, but other than that, I don't think France holds any interest for us.

At risk of claiming the OMITT negative nancy of the week award, i thought most of Grenier's free kicks were savable as they were floaters unlike CRonaldo rockets or Juninho's missiles. TBF they are better than most of our current offerings we have been serving this season.
The cruncher for me, though, is the strange situation where the fans who watch him week in, week out are quite happy for him to go, much like we would be, if someone came in for Bendtner or Denilson.

😆 Seriously the fans are doing us a great service with these hilarious encounters with Wenger during the transfer window.

I'm very flattered to be linked with Arsenal, I grew up as an Arsenal fan and my hero was Patrick Vieira when he was playing there," Ibrahim told Sky Sports.

"I would be very honoured to play for Arsenal and it would be all my dreams come true to work with Arsene Wenger.

"He has developed so many young players over the years and gave them chances in the first team but at the moment my focus now is doing very well in the Under 21 European Championship next month in Israel with my national team and hopefully try and win the tournament.

"We will see what happens in the next couple of months about my future as I'm contracted to Manchester City for another year.

"I'm open to extending my new deal, but I'd like to meet the new manager if it's [Manuel] Pelligrini and see what he has to say.

"I'm 22 years old now and I want to be playing week in, week out in the Premier League."

:hmm:

Ibrahim who?

You mean you didn't know immediately?

No real hipster. 🙁

Some noise on twitter that we want Oezil.

I'd forgive Wenger everything if we got Özil this summer.

I heard that we want Messi too.

Not as good as Özil.

we can want all the players we want to.
