Lol that's ages ago. Anyway ozil is an arsenal fan. I remember he said that when we were linked with him at werder.

Means he will thrive Wenger. Thats all

It's worth remembering Zelalem is a Krauto-Ethio-American anyway. Might enjoy having another German origin player around, especially someone who can really help him pull together the use of that blindingly good passing talent of his.

I'll admit I'm fucking excited by these Ozil rumours. I know realistically it probably isn't the soundest of all transfers for us in terms of results - a striker would've been better - but it'd be a statement that'd overshadow pretty much all other business done by English clubs so far this summer.

Need a striker though, would take Ba over the Abel fella.


🙂

Spend like you've never spent before today Arsene.

😆 That was great.

I'm predicting two signings worth about €60mil, plus that Palermo keeper, by the end of play tonight.

Silence before the storm.

Hernandez is a reserve striker, basically. Injury prone as fuck with a dubious goal record. He looks like he could turn into a pretty special player eventually though.

We've been linked with him for years too. If it's going to happen it will probably happen now. Palermo were relegated last season so they have little reason to keep him.

nigeria scored 6 against Tahiti.....Nigeria are shite, what else you got?

That was kinda my point.

Some starting to say Ozil has pulled out of the deal and wants to stay at R.Madrid...

Wonder how much money would change his mind?

I hope they've had Podolski and Mertesacker on the phone to him all night

Was too much to expect it to be all done and dusted by the morning wasn't it?

Seems to be the common theme with the Real players - Perez wants to cash in but they don't want to leave.
He's going to want to recoup some of the Bale money so you'd have to reckon that by 23.00 Ozil, Di Maria and possibly Benzema will find themselves sold

draxler and di maria then please. muppet mode has been activated

Said we'd agreed the fee with Real but he doesn't want to come here.

They'll keep us going until 10.59pm, we'll be expecting to get nothing special, and then it'll emerge that we've agreed a loan deal. Suits all parties; ozil won't have to stay for over a year, arsene gets his super quality, the club don't have to fork out £40m+, and the fans will have to accept it because it's better than nothing. We'll also sign some other tat throughout the day.

Hmm. Could be right Patters.
I think we'll have one other big signing besides though.

After sleeping over it, I think we will only end up with Benayounesque signings.

Yep, excitement is fading and the cold cynicism is creeping back in 🙁

John Cross just linked us with kagawa. Transfer deadline day is surely here!!

Just got this confirm from person close to Özil-family:Talks right now with Arsenal about player's deal. 5/6 yrs deal.
Bild report too.

Arnautovic joins Stoke, will be interesting to see how he does.

Shit attitude apparently.

I understand the Özil-negotiations are done over the phone. And that Wenger has to break his wage-structure.

raphael honigstein ‏@honigstein 29s
. @JanAageFjortoft is very well connected to the relevant person in Özil camp. You can his word as gospel. Will come down purely to wages.

So its clear he has not rejected us yet, just negotiation tactics probably.

According to Sky United have moved for Özil.

What is Fjortoft up to these days? Is he a tv pundit?

Sky journos reporting United have made contact with Ozil reps. Fuk. But they havent agreed a fee with Madrid yet have they?

Hunter and Balague are two massive frauds.
