NB52 is totally a crappy player. No wonder other clubs are not ready to bid for him although the media claims it's his wage being the stopper. I am sure the club willing to pay a higher wage if he is really that good!
I would rather give chance to Einsfield or Miyachi as they are more talented.
superb game between Bayern and Chelsea today. imagine if our squad can perform as well as Bayern consistently throughout the season. if Wenger adds the correct quality players by 2/9 then I'm pretty confident we'll be able to do just that.
The most honest and unbiased statement from a fan that sums up the transfer saga so far for us.
QUOTE
Kaka would be a mistake; never sign a player for big money once they have lost the key attribute that made them a great player (in Kaka's case his burst of pace while dribbling, which allowed him to glide past midfields, and defences - the same applies to Torres). If Arsenal want to enter the big league in transfer spending, while better managing their wage bill, then this is exactly the type of transfer to avoid.
Draxler, meanwhile, is not realistically going to happen. His 45m euro buy-out clause was activated this summer by Real (amongst others), but he wants to stay for now at Schalke. Why would he choose to go to Arsenal when both more attractive clubs have come in for him, and when Schalke pretty much outplayed Arsenal in both matches last season.
Ozil and Benzema will not sign for us; that goes without saying. I would think the only potential option from the three is di Maria.
I do sincerely hope that Arsene has an ace up his sleeve. Our closest competitors have spent £110m now to bridge the 1 point gap from last season, and are purposely waiting until deadline day to sell Bale, in order to prevent us having time to benefit from the domino effect that would result from the sale. They've also hoovered up a great deal of the available upper-mid level youngish talent that Wenger would likely have gone after in a bind on deadline day.
Having brought in Flamini, Wenger will now not sign a defender, nor a DM. He considers Sagna to be the cover for CB, and Flamini to be the utility cover for both full back positions, as well as DM. For this reason, I think Arsene will go after a striker, and a wide forward player. Di Maria would be an option for the wide player, though I think the club will still shy away at the price Real will demand (Wenger will justify it on the basis of not wanting to install an impediment to Oxlade / Gnabry's growth), and Michu will end up being the only available striker within a price bracket we are willing to entertain.
It's certainly not all bad news as we have the advantage of stability over Spurs; the existing players from the back end of last season seem to have good chemistry and understanding, whereas Spurs run the risks associated with a wholesale change of personnel. We can definitely beat them on Sunday. In the medium to longer term, we're certainly well short in terms of depth of quality, though, so we really need something better than an overpriced 'good-ish' player trolley dash (Cabaye, Fellaini, Guilavogui etc) on deadline day. It's not the summer of 2011; the threat to us in now greater than that.
It's obviously just a shame, though, that in a summer that was supposed to be about transition, and seeking to make bold moves to position us to challenge for 2nd or 3rd (as a stepping stone to better things), we're once again firmly looking behind us and likely to pointlessly waste a good portion of the supporters' hard-earned transfer fund.
If Eriksen was that good don't you find it odd that no one was in it for him except Spuds despite it being an open secret that he wants to leave and Ajax were willing to sell at such a low price?

Another overrated player IMO
LOL..
Standard answer from a fan who can't accept the fact that their rival team is buying good players for the future.
tuh la kan bro...aku pun tak paham wenger ni pikir camner sebenarnye...player2 yang spurs beli pun certain tu takde la mahal sangat pun...good quality players lagi....why wenger dowan compete for their signature? what kind of world class players that fits his budget his waiting for?
