Summer transfer deadline day

Rex

He could bring in Messi for all I care, I still want him to go. Wouldn´t mind Messi though...

Seems that the most likely destination for Benayoun is Liverpool according to the BBC.
That leaves us with tenuous links to Dempsey, Arteta and possibly a wrangle with Rennes over the fee for M'vila?

Rex

Arteta would be nice. Class player.

wanna see eden hazard prancing around in an arsenal kit with no socks on having a few photos taken

Rex

I could live with that.

😆
Not too much prancing though.
Won't fit with the new bad ass image we're working on.

Arsenal have confirmed Santos and Mertesacker deals, but are not longer interested in Yann M'Vila. My story: bit.ly/oRVNEg

Ricky1985

He's just guessing based on the fact that Coquelin is likely staying.

Arteta seems to be the flavor of the moment...

Matt Law tweets: "Hearing Arsenal gone in strong this arvo for Arteta - think he's one."

Backed up by John Cross: "Hearing #AFC bang in for Arteta, very hopeful of getting deal done before deadline."

Klaus

From the Montolivo thread:

Calcio_RH_UK Richard Hall
@MattLawExpress Im hearing news from Italy that Montolivo is on his way to London and is Arsenals midfield signing for today

Rohit

Arteta and Augusto now being linked.

Augusto as i remember was linked years back and looked brilliant as a youngster. How has he developed at Leverkeusen?

Ricky1985

Cesc out - Arteta or Montolivo in, is very, very depressing.

Cill

A big fat 'Meh' to Arteta tbh..

Klaus

Montolivo would be a much better signing than M'Vila though, Ricks. Don't be so downbeat.

firmly securing our place outside the top three. possibly top four.

Ricky1985

Montolivo isn't fit to lace Cesc's boots though, Klaus, and Arteta is, well, Arteta. M'Vila represents a different type of player, a different approach. That change could actually see us become a stronger team for it. Arteta or Montolivo playing a similar-ish role to Cesc, in a similar-ish system, is a massive downgrade in quality whichever way you look at it. Really, really not happy. Fucking Arteta Arsenal? Just not good enough.

Lorient have confirmed the double signing of Gilles Sunu (permanent) and Joel Campbell (on loan) from Arsenal.

Wish Sunu all the best, and Campbell should do well there.

We're going to bid £10m for Arteta according to sources at the club (reported by Sky).

Montolivo is not coming here to replace Cesc. He's coming here to play a box-to-box role between Song/Frimpong and Wilshere. Same with Arteta I'd imagine. They're both better players than M'Vila and would contribute more to the team.

Kel Varnsen

i wouldn't mind montolivo at all as long as we also bring in a more mobile "dribler" like hazard, kaka or goetze.

Klaus

Aye, we still need an attacking reinforcement. But signing someone like Montolivo would mean that we're actually addressing the problems we've got in midfield, i.e. that we can't string three passes together without fucking up. Would make us less reliant on Wilshere too, and Jack seems to be out for a while unfortunately.

Not that it will happen, of course. Wenger would have done it long before he started to tie up deals for Santos and Park in that case.
