Cool.. I didn't follow football much last season and Monaco was relegated? hmm

BTW, does anyone got any details abt Joel Campbell? d young striker tht wenger signed days ago

SOS????

I don't think wenger will again his policy to break the bank for high profile signing .... If it is true, I will be the happiest person 2moro

At last I'm seeing an Arsenal defence I like: Sagna, Vermaelen, Mertesacker, Santos - keep going Wenger, more players please.

Not much details released about Joel Campbell.

Arsenal is struggling to get a work permit for him. He's applied under special talent visa (He's a Costa Rican)
Not sure if it's settled now.


Anyway, which arsenal blog did you guys visit? the reliable and interesting ones. There's too many out there when i googled it out

"We're keen to add another two players, one of whom could be a big money signing. From what I'm told the club could break their transfer record in the next 40 hours."

They gonna break the bank for Eden Hazard?!

imagine it is KAKA

Joel Campbell going for loan move probably later today we'll confirm that. We've used our 1 SPECIAL talent visa on Ryo. it's gonna be hard to get another for Joel campbell. since ryo already served his time at Feyenoord last season, priority to him to get into our 1st team. can't wait to see him in action.

Marvin Martin PLEASE!!

haha no worries! I think we have enough strikers now.. Need more midfielders to cover up for Song & Wilshire tho. League Cup, CL, BPL & FA cup!

arsenal's transfer record is only 16.5 millions pound...

pretty easy to break this record...

ya weh... eheheheh..

anyway when AW makes a deal, he usually factor in the player wages also in the deal. say for Arshavin, fee is 16mil but include his signing bonus and wages for 4 years, the deal is worth 20Mil easily. That's the way we should look for in signings.

that's why we haven't/didn't have big names/break the bank signings. imagine signing someone for a fee of 30mil, then his wages will cost u another 10mil in 4 years, plus agent fee and signing bonus, could've easily break 45mil.

yes we have the money... and from the look of things rite now, we're spending it wisely. Per for Euro9Mil, Santos for a bit lesser and Park for even lesser... all 3 signing totalling about 15mil... but factor in their wages, easily tops 22mil already.

say we got 35+25 from cesc/nasri... that's 60mil. minus the 22, we're left with 38mil. break the bank at 30mil? that seems about right for me. max we will spend is 30mil.

now go to Sochaux with 20mil euro and get me marvin martin please!

Added on August 31, 2011, 11:11 amso we've bid 22mil for him... that's about what... 28mil euro? if Rennes still dont want to sell... we should look elsewhere, jadson or martin is better value for $.

We've done it with Cahill... since bolton been playing hardball, we just swoop Per Mertesacker for lesser and better too.

yerps we're complying with it... cesc + nasri + clichy + eboue + traore = 5 spots

in = per + Santos + park....

so we have 2 more spots. 1 CM and 1 CB backup.... Marvin martin + samba.

hahahhh i'm so high right now... ahahahha

not really keen with Samba, he is just too...and chances of him becoming Squillaci v2 is pretty high too. Looks like Wenger more interested in M'Vila now.

i would prefer marvin + m'villa + cahill

the we will have enough depth to compete in all league and cups..

that's gonna cost us a bomb though....

anyway, awaiting anxiously for announcement from arse.com.

AW might just make a late bid for Arteta. i wouldnt mind having him as backup if we get Martin or Mvilla.

As said, i'd lay off Cahill (gary or tim) for now.

Joel Campbell failed to get a working permit, hence will be going out on loan... PSV's the likely


That's why despite our paper thin squad we are getting rid of many old players who are either deadwood or no longer mentally with us:

Eboue
Traore
Fabs
Nasri

Still to go : Nicklas

Last chance for salvation : Denilson, Vela (likely to be sold if they still cannot impress in their loaned teams)

No one wants to buy : Manny Al

Wouldn't mind seeing the back of, but only if there are guaranteed new signings: Diaby, Laci, JD, Tommy.

Keep Andy as a luxury substitute who could potentially come on for that one moment of magic, but with Gervy around he's unlikely to be first choice.

I'm too high on rendang n ketupat ..can't think..haha

it's a rules that states that every club have a max of 25 players over 21yo to choose for to play in the premier league for the whole season, unlimited usage of players under 21yo. these over 21yo player must be registered at the start of the season, and only the 25 players can play. till jan transfer windows open, u can opt to switch for dunno how many players (max 3?) over 21yo to to exclude players registered at the start of the season (eg: players leaving, but not limited to them only) to include players that did not register at the start of the season (eg: new players, but not limited to them only)

learn from fm...lol...i always raid arsenal for youngster
