The Summer Transfers Thread

[Zorak]

Also, if I'm not mistaken, the french league doesn't allow too many non-eu players in a team. So PSG need to be careful. With Pastore, Silva, Lavezzi, Nene and others I forget, they might go over the limit. That would be funny.

It's 4 players but IIRC after a couple of years they can gain dual-citizenship.

Sounds like we've signed Michu :willy_nilly:
2 Million from Rayo Vallecano, scored 15 goals for them in La Liga last season, bargain!

Oh, and Brendan Rodgers, kindly fuck off and stop trying to get our players.

reece brown from united on a seasons loan

 

[skyblue]

he looks a bit too much like wes brown for my liking

I have that problem too with my brother.

Pros of signing Van Persie : He's a good striker, proven in the Premier League. He wouldn't cost that much in relation to what he could cost. It'd make Piers Morgan sad.

Cons : He's a bit injury prone. It could hinder the younger strikers we already have. He's 29.

I don't think the VP saga is anywhere near finished yet.

It's quite eerie. I mean 10 years ago Rio Ferdinand didn't want to go on Leeds pre season tour, because he wanted a transfer to us, or at least leave Leeds. Now Van Persie apparently doesn't want to go on Arsenal's, weird. It's called engineering a move. Part of me is hoping this is a smokescreen for another transfer. Sir Alex and David Gill have been known in the past for being secretive regarding some transfers so are just using this Van Persie "saga" as that smokescreen to sign somebody else. in turn this makes the press look stupid because if we did sign someone else, they wouldn't have picked up on it. Maybe we told Arsenal to tell the press we'd made an inquiry about him without actually doing so, conspiracy theories. I'm not convinced we absolutely need Van Persie, but I wouldn't complain.

I'm not sure how he'd fit in at man u either.

Luka Modric is flying to Madrid tomorrow to have a medical at Real Madrid. With Sahin coming in the opposite direction, but not Spurs. Most likely to be Liverpool.

spurs got any talent left?

 

[Springsteen]

Very very little.

 

[porterjack]

modric is little

 

[Springsteen]

Little players are the best players. Xavi, Messi, Iniesta, Scholes, Modric etc. The reason is they develop earlier in terms of football skills.

Looking at Spurs' possible team without Modric....It's not terrible but they might struggle to get into the top 4 this season.

Breaking news : Manchester United and Arsenal have agreed a fee for Robin Van Persie.

 

[porterjack]

so wenger does not mind offloading to a rival, i suppose the 24 mill helps to buy younger talent

fully expect rvp to re-injure himself anyways

 

[Springsteen]

It gets slightly worse for Arsenal if you believe certain people. Barcelona are paying a flying visit to London to pick up Alex Song tomorrow.

Rooney, Van Persie, Nani and Kagawa up front on Monday night against Everton

https://twitter.com/piersmorgan < Tiers for Piers. let's hope this finally drives him to suicide.

24 million seems fair. Best of luck to him. New Berbatov some people have started calling him, which might be a tad unfair lol.

 

[Springsteen]

Yeah he's not that cool.

I'd expect Berbatov to now leave, I do like him but he won't play and he takes up space in our squad. Expect Van Persie to get number 9.

The question arises now; does Wenget spend some more? Is Girourd quite ready to step up? I'm sure a lot of arsenal fans would like to see Llorrente bid for, but now the world knows Wenger has at least 24 million in the chest, prices suddenly slyrocket.
