There's only one Brazilian playmaker I want, and that's Ganso.

Wouldn´t mind me Kaka if yous is twisting me arm if we is talking bout Brazilian playmakers.

Real won't let him go and salary will be too big.

Was hardly the issue, but you have a point.

I'm pretty sure we're getting no one in the jan tran but I guess we can muse over rumours.

I'd love for us to get rid of Djorou and Squid and get in Cahill, then we'd have a pretty good set of CDs.

These rumours never come true.
The fact that we're linked with them probably means we can delete them from our list of potential signings.
Wenger trawls these forums to gather the names of players to avoid.

So he did.
'Twas like a dream 🙂
Ok, I'll revise my theory - we can keep players who are suspected of being not quite as good as they once were on our list.
I think a history of injury, preferably achilles, might be a sign that Wenger's on their trail.

Weren't we linked with Mertesacker every year for about 5 or 6 years before actually signing him though? I remember his name coming up in these rumours years ago.

Thought this was another Andy Polo like thread about some half Dutch half Vietnamese lad. 🙁

He was everyone's favourite until Bremen's decline. Almost everyone wanted him in the Gallas era

Barca are rumoured to want him too

Yeah I saw that, mentioned it in the other thread. Wages must be too high for us surely?

a month later

Imagine that........no Chamakh, no Squib and no Almunia after January.

Although, I'd still keep Chamakh for at least the rest of the season and then give him the boot if he didn't manage to pick up some form by then.
