I suspect this guy is Terry Burton 😆

Insane quality there. Shows everything you'd want in a midfielder. How can we not play him as a proper central midfielder when he has that range of skills? His genuine versatility is a massive plus also though.

From my limited viewings, I can't see how Sahin would be a better centre midfielder for us than Cazorla? Santi just looks like a 27 year old Jack, which is damn good.

People goes about how Cazorla is quality but Sahin is pretty damn good too. These are signings we should be looking at to bring ourselves to another level. If we bring both of them in then thats a higher chance flop like Diaby can fuck off. (unlikely though, Wenger clearly rates him sooooo highly)

Now suddenly our central mid is packed, but our wingers options are still pathetic. We really only have Gervinho and Ox who really excels there. Walcott only shines in certain kind of games. Poldi doesnt excel in a wing position either.

Personally think Cazorla will play on the wing as much as if not more so than in the middle, especially when Jack comes back.

Its the role where you stand behind the best midfielders in the world getting a load of unwarranted credit just because you're a local.

But to go from there and claim to know who Wenger meets and what they discuss? Sorry, but no.

Yeah if he was close to a player at the club he might know what was going on with Wenger speaking to TV but how would he know about the transfer for so long? Unless he's Steve Bould or Ivan Gazidis I don't see how he'd be so well up on all sides of this. Just another bullshitter I reckon.

Oh ffs. Was hoping to see this announced today.

Always good to go into the weekend on the back of a big signing.

Knowing our luck we'll get gazumped over the weekend and lose out on the player!

How the fuck would Jamie Sanderson know anything?

Busquets is a massive cunt, but he is a great, great player. Or to put it another way - you don't take Yaya Toure's spot unless you are better than average. 🙂

I've never seen him do anything extraordinary. Solid player, nothing more.

He posts here so maybe he can answer that one 😉

It'll happen late next week, actually. August 10th to be exact.

Thats because people don't analyse how much dirty works he does and how much he brings to the midfield structure.

Btw we might have players for 4-4-2 finally.

Giroud Podolski
Gervinho Arteta Song Cazorla

So now we may have to wait until next week? I hope that SSN rumour isn't true.

It's done, doesn't matter when it's announced.

That's photoshoped. The body looks too big for the head.

Does Wenger have a presser today?

Something dodgy with the Swoosh.
You guys 100 percent certain that is the real shirt?

Just got home and stil no announcement. We don't usually annnounce on weekends so I guess we have to wait until next week. Annoying.

Only annoying for me because I had a bet we'd sign him on August 3rd, same date as the Henry signing.

As long as they can find someone left behind at Malaga to sign him over it's bound to be announced before the squad head to Germany next week.

August 10th. Mark my words. I'll even throw in this piece of exclusive information for good measue: He will appear in a red home shirt for his first photo shoot, not the striped away shirt. And his hair will be fairly short.

I'm fairly confident that there will be at least one picture where he's mysteriously misplaced his shoes. And that he'll be delighted to sign for us. Most likely he'll explain that he finds our style attractive, that Wenger is a major draw, and that he's confident of our chances of obtaining silverware.

His dog's got character

Definitely better than Almunia's hairy little rat dogs.

Why do footballers have such small dogs? If I was that rich I had massive dogs.

Lol, are they more expensive, big dogs?

Usually but more importantly they need more space, so loads of money > big house and garden > big dog. And if you're busy you can pay some lackey to walk it.

Yep some people think of a footballers money and dream of bling, bling and fast cars, I dream of having a bit of land to raise a few big dogs.

Shit thing if you travel a lot (and you want to take the but with you). These squeaky things go on the plane with you, big dogs - well, they don't
(Ive been traveling with my dog for over 15 years now; every time I have to do it it's a nightmare. And I didn't even begin to say what it is for the dog). So you pay again (someone to take care of the dog. But it sucks if it's a long trip, and you really care for the dog).

You mean the ones his wife used to wear? (remember them awful things? 😆 )

Apparently one of the youth players tweeted this: 'Good to see Santi Carzola at the training ground today #afc' before taking down his tweet.

Yep we can't have our new signing misspelled that badly by people connected with the club. 🙂

There is a confusion about who should sign whatever papers necessary to complete the Cazorla transfer and yet Rondon's transfer is already confirmed? Something doesn't add up.

We just take forever to announce things. Arsenal like everything to be 100% done. Meanwhile Rubin Kazan announced a deal had been agreed.

And then I woke up and it was all a dream...

Not worried at all about this, or exactly when it's announced.
