Seems like Sky get all their information from twitter.

Wherever it's from it's pretty clear they don't do much to vet the information.

That's the best way to spend our 70m imo

From BBC:

France football writer: "Newly-capped France midfielder Josuha Guilavogui has left Saint-Etienne to join Atletico Madrid in an £8.5m move."

According to @tancredipalmeri PSG have outbid Arsenal for Ozil.

Makes no sense. Madrid have already accepted our bid according to many.

We'll spend big on Ozil and Di Maria and we'll search the lower ranks for defenders.
That's my prediction for this hour.

Not that I have a strong feeling on what may happen, this window has been too weird for any potential deal to be straightforward.

tancredi has been wrong about most things this summer. long may it continue

Our favourite journalist John Cross is saying Ozil deal is done....

John Cross seems like a troll of the highest order these days.

PSG are not going to play Ibra, Ozil and Cavani in the same 11. No chance and all 3 will want to play.

I would discount anything that Stan Collymore claims to know

Beeb:

German football writer Mark Lovell: "Quadruple-winners Bayern Munich have closed their books and won't be playing in this window.

"Champions League finalists Borussia Dortmund would have heard the whispers surrounding Shinji Kagawa at Manchester United. If the English champions do decide to let him go - expect Dortmund to battle PSG for his signature. The Japanese star has consistently mentioned that he would love to return to the Bundesliga."

who's the biggest troll, palmeri or cross?

Amazing to think Arsenal transfer record is £15m for Arshavin...would be nearly trebled for Ozil. Still down to player to agree

Transfer record fee between Arsenal and Real Madrid agreed...now down to Mesut Ozil who is in Germany.

In fairness, Cross rarely says something is 'done', he normally leaves himself a get out. So lets hope he's actually heard something. He is a journo who follows Arsenal around after all.

#desperate

come on agent per. get it get it!

Everything agreed according to Cross, just the dreaded medical to go now.

More importantly have we got rid of Bendtner?

Personal terms also agreed with Mesut Ozil. Medical in Germany last hurdle to be overcome. Permanent deal, everything agreed. #afc[/quote]

Wish I'd bought a spare pair of pants to work.
