Dann, Cahill, Samba or Jagielka - who's the most likely?
I'll go with Cahill.

I'll go with Samba, Dann, Cygan, Jagielka and Cahill in descending order of likelihood

Links to Xherdan Shaquiri emerging today.

Would be a good option if we're going to prioritise value as well as quality.

Anyone know anything about him? Specifically, can he make an impact on our first team at 19 years old?

ahhhh i remember him - looked really good for switzerland against england

Already looks pretty good at International level, so probably.

I've only seen him on international level but he looks like a good player. Scored a peach against England, didn't he?

Perhaps not underneath YOUR clothes.

That dude fourth official on twitter connected us with Raul Albiol earlier today. Don't know what to think about that.

Bartley and Chamberlain would kill them.

Joe Cole? I thought Wheeler-dealer was on that case? Not heard anything about Arsenal.

Joe Cole. I can comfortably say that is one signing that Wenger is not making, and he has my support

😆

That article is a shocker.

It would be an 8 million pound gamble to bring Kaka in for a season, but I can see the logic for both sides.
The article itself is shocking.

Clue's in the name at the top of the page...

🙂
I just read the Wenger "acting quickly to appease fans" part and I knew it was complete rubbish.

5 days later

Twitter reckons we're after Yossi Benayoun on a free.

Like i said in the other thread: SHOOT ME!

I'm ok with Benayoun signing. Save the money for the next guy

Rumours sweeping round twitter that we're making a move for banega! Oh my god. Dream signing. Gonna win the league!!!

It's all kicking off. Turkish media say Arsenal have bid Andre Santos, while talk of a €35m bid for Mario Götze rejected.

"Defender from abroad" looks like it could be andre santos from Fenerbache.

Wouldn't say no to Benayoun myself.

What i can't understand is: Newcastle aim for the likes of Santon and Aly Cissokho for a good 5-10mil yet we aim for Jenkinson. We can definitely use these players.

Santos has looked decent whenever I've seen him for Brazil. Has anyone watched him play at Fenerbahce? Would be nice to know how he usually performs.

Don't know Andre Santos too well, but he keeps some pretty good players out of the brazil team.

Delighted if we get a LB anyway

Why can't anyone make up a link about Kagawa, by the way? Stupid Twitter.

he's got marcelo and bastos for competition, and seems to get playing time, so he's definitely better than gibbs. if that's a done deal, then we need to focus on a CM.

you guys will think i'm crazy, but i think we've got decent CBs, song can be our 4th choice, and a new defensive coach would have a far bigger effect than signing cahill or alex.

how much would you pay for him? i'd love it if he came.

I'd pay £40 million on the spot if that's what Dortmund wants. Lad is going to be considered world class as soon as he's got a full season in Europe under his belt. I'm almost glad that he broke his foot. He would probably have been playing for Barcelona now otherwise.

Santos link isn't made up at all. Done deal.

Marcelo isn't considered for brazil these days due to a bust up with management but nonetheless Andre santos is class
