damn we never get players that are rumoured before the final day. yet wenger is giving his sly smile when asked about draxler. i think i'm going to see his face in the interview after the soton game and see if that sly smile is still there, if it is then i'm gonna let myself have expectations

kesian dulu got mazacar, now da kena sunat.

too much hype, this smells of higuain.

this better not end up like stinking higuain.

might even happen this month. i think we need him more now than next summer, ramsey and walcott are both out for a long period

so i heard Draxler is also two footed?

German Cazorla!

takpa gong xi fa cai kita open house sini

haha, nothing unexpected tbh. there's a reason we all say "wont believe until it's on arsenal.com" when it comes to transfers.

there's also rumours on mirko vucinic on loan, so yeah it's not all on draxler

did some posts got ninja-killed or what?

there's a recent interview on arsene n he said he's not close to signing anyone.

cant wait for the final hours of the transfer window

"noxious weed" aka kangkung cheaper

draxler and vucinic deal is likely off, seems like the board agreed on 37mil for draxler but wenger refused the deal, while vucinic refused the move to arsenal with the two clubs already agreed on terms.

makes sense tho, 37mil for a youngster is too big of a price tag, he'll be scrutinized by the hype machine english media.

latest shaky rumour: miroslav klose is linked with us.

now THIS i can get behind. i've always wanted to see klose in the epl

rumours of kim kallstrom as the target.

liked the player when he was at his prime, but i think he's a bit old now. maybe it's good for a super short term solution to our current ramsey/flamini absence issue

i see a "welcome to arsenal" comment on a kallstrom youtube video already...

nice, i liked kallstrom when he was younger. a bit too late to have him here, but he's here and i'm quite excited to see what he brings to the team even as a backup player.

but i still think we're in for a striker. we wanted a midfield and a striker, possibly draxler and vucinic. didnt get drax and got kallstrom, let's see which striker's name comes up next

oh yeah now i remember, he got some attention last year when he comforted an autistic child who was a kid mascot for a WC qualifying match between Germany and Sweden. to quote the kid's father's letter to kim, "Because of your actions, Kim, my son was able to experience exactly the same feelings as everyone else: pride, a sense of being special, "I did it" and the joy".

another good guy enters the party. hopefully he'll help us win the league.

i'd love it if it's klose, but so far no names are popping up

sorry to tell you then, kallstrom got injured a lot since his last move too.

no striker then?

man i really like the kallstrom transfer, but if he's the only one then this feels quite underwhelming.

kim shellstoerm will take the number 29

if worse comes to worse and giroud gets injured bendtner and poldi will contend for that ST spot. i'm happy for pcy to move and try his luck elsewhere, he doesnt seem to be part in wenger's plan at all.

and if bendtner and poldi gets crocked there's always that false 9 option, mesut's played there a few times and even got a goal. tho we'll have to change our gamestyle a bit, ozil wont be able to outmuscle defenders the way giroud does.

all in all it's gonna be fun. we have the first eleven to win the league. whether we have the depth to do so, not so sure about that.
