We are getting Costa. Chuba confirmed.

Don't do this to me.

I don't think £70 million kicks in until the summer, since it's only on the condition we fail to qualify for the CL.

If you want him in Jan, you're probably going to have to spend Bale money at least.

Fuck.

The Pedro links make sense now that Theo is out.

-----------Costa
Sanit Ozil Pedro
Ramsey Arteta

That'll do.

I need a time machine.

 

[Walshy]

I was surprised to see even Arseblog calling for Draxler to be bought in January.

He doesn't even play in Theo's positions and would be of no (relative) use :lol. We may as well buy another CAM.

Wouldn't you be best buying a similar player to Theo that gets goals from wide?

El Shaarawy might be a good shout, he seems to have not played much but I don't know what's gone on with him at Milan this season.

The 70m clause doesn't exist, it comes from the Mail and the Mirror (john cross lol).

 

[pulga]

Oh you gooners.

 

[Lightning]

Because they have never seen him play. Draxler replaces Podolski. We don't need a Theo replacement. We need a Giroud replacement.

Draxler was a joke... and if you think I don't know where he plays or seen him play then you can do one.


Here's something that's not a joke, any Giroud backup we get is going to be a Berbatov like player. Old, cheap, short gap, gamble as they would need time to fit into Arsenal etc... we are not going to get anyone who is going to score us 10x goals. More than likely they would fall behind Bendtner in the pecking order.

Only Villa, Fulham, Coventry, Southampton to play before Bendtner is back. Not the hardest games.

 

[Elchele]

My overarching point was that if Arsenal went in for Reus, we'd have a good chance, might not be favorites, but our chances are far from non-existent.

Anyone with the money could have a chance. Hard to tell where he would prefer to go, surely in a place where he gets more money + being a starter.

[Milchmonster]

I really wonder how you'd react if we managed to sign Draxler.

Why would I care? Good for you, I guess.

We have 4 German players at the club, located in London one of the best cities in the world, we have money and our revenue keeps increasing as the shitty commercial contracts that held us back have/or are expiring. If we miss out on him so be it, but our chances not non existent, that is a ridiculous statement you made. What will be the biggest factor is how we're doing in League and cup competitions.

Well, there's your problem.

Wasn't specifically talking about you, Lightning. Mainly just twitter people.

MisterChiping: RMA 3-0 CEL (FT) - Cristiano scores the 400th goal of his professional career (in 653 games): SPO (5) + MNU (118) + RMA (230) + POR (47)


Beast.

I thought Ronaldo had scored more than that actually.

GOAT is on 375 goals with 510 games for example.

Which means he needs 25 goals in his next 143 games to equal CR7.

edit
Not to take away from Ronaldo's great achievement, behind behind GOAT is nothing to be embarrassed about, I'm just saying I thought he had scored more.

El Shaarawy is injured

Well, there's your problem.

We are in first mate. You are german team #4.

Could you imagine if Ronaldo doped himself too? Hnngggggggggg

Long-term it makes sense, but at the moment he would be competing with Podolski, the Ox, Wilshere (lol) and even more on the left wing. Gnabry can even play there.

Doesn't make sense to spend huge amounts on an unnecessary player.

 

[Yurt]

El Shaarawy is injured

are we even sure he's alive?

You missed my edit lol

"Not to take away from Ronaldo's great achievement, being behind GOAT is nothing to be embarrassed about, I'm just saying I thought he had scored more."

What I mean by that is, I thought they were closer in the goals per game stat. But when you see Messi needs only 25 goals in 140+ games to be just equal, then you know for sure he will better it.

 

[Danchi]

Six months ago Arsenal were celebrating fourth place like a trophy.

 

[Yurt]

Reus is a product of their academy too

please understand

he won't pull a Gotze, I have faith in him.

 

[pulga]

Di Maria was none too pleased with the sub today. Arsenal, I think I've found your transfer target.

 

[Baki]

What do you guys think of Salah. £9m is alright for what could be a gamble.

 

[Lightning]

We can't play Wilshere on the wing. Wenger better have learned we can't play Ramsey twice a week, every week.. Wilshere and Ramsey need to rotate so we can at least minimize the risk of injury.

Gnabry and Ox on that wing should be plenty. Both players pretty strong, not the slowest players, can score some goals and get assists too. Podolski will likely be a mixture of left wing and centre forward once he gets back to full fitness and we move forward.

 

[Meier]

Oh shit at the Walcott news! Ouch. Well, Arsenal have to buy now.. of course, they'll probably just start Gnabry instead.

 

[Milchmonster]

We are in first mate. You are german team #4.

You were first in the CL group, too. The table matters when the season is over, not halfway through.

 

[Feorax]

What do you guys think of Salah. £9m is alright for what could be a gamble.

He wants to come to us, but Basel want €20 million. Why do you think we haven't signed him already?

 

[flippedb]

are we even sure he's alive?

He just had a surgery. He posted pictures afterwards, so at least that didn't kill him.

 

[Baki]

We wanted him in the summer as well! Perfect. Thank you ancellotti. Now he just needs to piss off Isco too.

That's a lot, but makes sense for a January price tag. Maybe we can do a loan deal lmaooo

Overplaying Ramsey is entirely idiotic especially when considering our midfield depth.

Maybe short-term you should try and get Shaqiri on loan?

Love you too. Even if you support a scummy team.

 

[Baconsaurus Rex]

Is that from Donnie Darko?

 

[Baki]

Yeah, I know. Ramsey and Ozil played every game until injury. Maybe Wenger likes playing people till injury so he can test them, Hodgson style. LMAO

Maybe we should just steal Salah for the lols?

 

[GQman2121]

Looks like De Bruyne will be a Wolfsberg player by the end of the week. Agent is in Abu Dhabi working out the offer.

Honestly, if he could find his form, Arsenal could do much worse.......

Well he did play a good chunk of his career as a purr winger.

But Chelsea would never sell a player like that to a rival in the top.

 

[Yurt]

It's brilliant.

 

[Elchele]

ESPN FC can now reveal that Bayern did indeed make a very significant offer -- not once, but twice. Rummenigge bid 31 million euros at the beginning of the summer, and both Dortmund and Lewandowski were officially told that the offer was still valid a couple of months later. Bayern were pushing but with time on their side, they didn't try a third time.

All of this still begs the question why Dortmund didn't simply cash in. Defiance in the face of Bayern's raid on their team was certainly a factor, as was sending a message: Dortmund did not want to be seen as a selling club. But there were more pragmatic reasons as well.

First, they hoped Lewandowski could still be sold abroad. There was a precedent: in 2011, Leverkusen's refusal to let Arturo Vidal move to Bayern had resulted in Juventus hijacking the deal and the player changing his mind. Dortmund must have felt that the Pole and his agents could be swayed in a similar manner. They thought: Why wait another year for Bayern -- and a big pay rise -- instead of moving to Spain or England immediately? But with Lewandowski and his camp not entering any negotiations with clubs other than Bayern, Dortmund made a decision that he'd be kept on for another year regardless.

See Yurt? It's all Juve's fault.

Yup. That would be much better. hahaah

Fuck, I need to quit footygaf until the transfer window is over. I fear for my sanity.

Brilliant business by Wolfsburg then, Luiz Gustavo + De Bruyne. They could be contenders to win the EL next season

 

[Can Crusher]

2 more seasons and Ronnie might become the all time scorer of Madrid. That shit is insane no matter what you think.

Not going to happen. They won't sell to us.

I still don't know how (and why) Vidal came to Italy and to a fucking midtable team. Fucking insane.

And?

And no-one cares who's top outside of May.

You cunts haven't watched Donnie Darko. You're worse than fry
