😆 And we will only sign sign Kennys if they are better than the Kennys we already have here.

Even when we've killed Kenny we go into a season relying on him

Temo

I'd rather prioritize improving on Giroud and the wing forward position anyway. There's way more margin for improvement in those positions than CM. I'm happy getting one in as an additional summer signing, but if it stops Arsene from getting those two forward positions, it's going to be a whole new level of recruitment negligence.

Kenny will be like a new signing at Christmas.

Who is the Horse ?...oh nobody.... just the GREATEST horse on twitter... !

It's just some guy that pretends to be ITK, and Arsenal fans on facebook/twitter/reddit follow him religiously.

Arsenal to sign Granit Xhaka as midfielder heads to London for final transfer talks
[/font]

[font=Comic Sans MS]Arsenal are poised to confirm their first signing of the summer, with Granit Xhaka today due at the club’s London Colney training base for a medical following a breakthrough in negotiations with Borussia Monchengladbach on a £30 million deal.
[/font]

[font=Comic Sans MS]Arsenal had initially bid close to £20 million for the Switzerland midfielder but, with Monchengladbach hoping to get more than £30 million, an agreement was eventually reached on a deal understood to be worth an initial £25 million but rising potentially to £30 million. Xhaka had a release clause in his contract for £23 million that would have become active next year.
[/font]

[font=Comic Sans MS]With Arsenal eventually finishing second in the Premier League to guarantee their place in the Champions League group phase, Arsene Wenger has moved quickly in the transfer market ahead of the final season of his current contract.
[/font]

[font=Comic Sans MS]Central midfield was always his priority following the departures of Mikel Arteta, Mathieu Flamini and Tomas Rosicky, with Xhaka having been identified as the number one target ahead of Leicester City's N'golo Kante during the second half of last season.[/font]

[font=Comic Sans MS]Xhaka was expected in London today and the deal should be completed over the weekend and formally announced at some stage next week.[/font][/size]

The horse seems to be legit. Posted it first from what I gather.

goon

Being reported almost everywhere now. Guess our bid wasn't all that insulting.

HomeSteak

And the German media are reporting the same thing.

RP-Online - Xhaka is in London to Complete Medical

Apparently RP-Online are the most reliable for borussia news. If they say something then it's true.

waiting till its on arse.com
too many fuck ups in the past..

Ray

This seems like such a Wenger transfer.

Burnwinter

When it's done it'll be an excellent bit of business, just got to steel ourselves to stay optimistic that this won't be the only major signing of the summer.

Clrnc

This has been pretty much done for awhile now, I am just curious as to where it leaves us in midfield. Is this signing alone enough?

goon

In midfield? Definitely I'd say. We'd have our best midfield options since 2007 and I'd say this crop trumps that one.
