Why do you think that Dules?
You have studied the way of the Weng.

Just an inkling. Think he knows we have a good chance and that there are good options on the market. Also knows he'll be clearing out the old boys this summer

He will have told himself he was saving for a rainy day when he skipped signing any outfield players during summer. That was unusual by his standards and might well contribute to a willingness to spend now.

Wenger saying clubs fearing inflation in the summer as a reason for buying now actually does sound like the Weng projecting his own fears. 🙂
Still think we are done here after Elneny, unless a class player becomes available at a good price. I certainly don't see us signing two central midfielders, although we should.

He gives them too much credit; they'll just pay the extra 10m because some bloke from league two in Portugal played the two games of his life at the euros.

The more salient point was that the premiership is very high stakes at the moment.

"Buying now because of fear of inflation" is as much of an oxymoron as it gets, especially if you give that statement to the media.

Egypt international Mohamed El-Nenny is set to travel to London on the 13th of January to complete his move to Arsenal, KingFut can confirm.

Today is the day.

Mohamed Elneny is now in England ahead of his move to Arsenal #afc

Arsenal are closing in on the signing of Basel midfielder Mohamed Elneny and hope the deal will be finalised in time for him to make his debut against Stoke on Super Sunday, Sky sources understand,

The 23-year-old is currently in London to complete the formalities on a four-and-a-half year contract at Arsenal.

He has already undergone and completed his medical and the hope is that the deal can be finalised in time for him to feature at the Britannia Stadium - live on Sky Sports 1 HD from 4pm.

In time for Stoke. That'll be some introduction to the premier league. 😆

Probably a good idea, its bound to take a few hours at the very least.

Like Monreal, who did very well against them on his debut.

Finally something is happening! I don't think Elneny will be in shape to face Stoke. Don't they have a winter break in Switzerland?

Well, good sign that he's at least in London.. that tells me its a matter of hours.. get him in so he can at least watch our 'Pool match

Im guessing he had a private training plan already while he was in Paris given by our conditioning specialists to start getting in shape.

My head says he, probably, will do well in the Coquelin-sized hole we have in midfield but, try as i might, this signing doesn't get my heart going at all.

most likely it'll be announce on Friday.

Wenger just announced that he has joined us.

90 minutes too late.

finally. it might not be a pulse-racing signing, but i'm hopeful he'll improve our passing and ball retention.
