Llorente's agent says a PL switch is possible and that one Manchester team and one London team are interested. Hopefully Aguero is OK so they don't need to buy him.

Llorente getting on the end of Bale's crosses...

But if we're offloading Dzeko to anyone he will be replaced.

What's this about Spurs going for Dzeko because Ade is a greedy idiot?

 

[kharma45]

Idiot eBay buyer. Set the auction to a Buy It Now with Best Offer so he could offer what we agreed and he paid the full price.

It's nonsense. All the papers are saying Ade is going to be a Spurs player this week, the financial spat with City is over.

Guillem Balague ‏@GuillemBalague: The loan deal Arsenal have agreed with Real Madrid for Sahin doesn't include the possibility of keeping the player. Wenger has spoken to him

Transfer muppetry at its best. He is coming, he isnt coming. He is going LFC, he is going Arsenal, no wait, he is going Milan. Arsenal have option to buy, now they don't.

As they say, until its on Arsenal.com..

Still think Sahin is an Arsenal player hehe.

 

[qindarka]

I think Balague is pretty reliable.

 

[The Other One]

I think Balague is pretty reliable.

He is, thats the point. The Sahin saga has had many twists and turns, a lot of the transfer updates with LFC, option to buy etc coming from reliable sources.

 

[mil6es]

I gave up on the Sahin saga a week back, it's reaching Eden Hazard levels on stupidity

would be absolutely hilarious if Milan come in at the last moment and scooped him up. Arsenal and Liverpool will be made to look like such fools. Again.

"Really couldn't be arsed correcting everyone that calls me Joey. Not as precious to demand that people call me Joe. Just remember..."

"...if you call me Joey when we meet. I will instantly in my head be thinking, "What a f*cking bellend this cat is!" FYI #callmewhatuwant"

Is Barton off his rocker?

 

[Feorax]

I suspect even if there were issues with the Sahin to Arsenal deal, we made our last ditch attempt last week, and we've probably moved on to other targets by now.

At least I hope we have.

 

[dc89]

I think Balague is pretty reliable.

"Kaka to Liverpool or Manchester United are stories based in nothing. Not true at all"

He's just put that on his twitter.

 

[pslayer666]

1.) Kawaga is terrifying, Vidic is back and in top form.
2.) SAF should have worried about buying more defenders.
3.) RVP cant be judged on a bit appearance, clearly not up to speed yet. Really he shouldnt have been subbed on, he was essentially a wasted player.
4.) Everton narrowly won that game. If I was a ManU fan I wouldnt worry too much yet.
5.) Everton looked great, they play us on Saturday, we should start worrying now.
6.) Anderson, pies.

I lol'ed at that one.



Still pretty pissed about last night's performance. wtf happened? Jesus

I'm clueless as to who we're looking at but allegedly 1 or 2 more will be coming in. Probably looking to offload Adam, Spearing or Carroll first.

That's the sticking Point with me, it's gonna be pretty tough to unload Adam and Carroll, funny thing is I see spearing being the easiest to find a buyer for.

 

[Salazar]

I can respect the prowess of Fellaini, even if I think there's quite a nasty side to his game.

(Should have been booked. There were a couple of straight up hacks).

But Jelavic is a knobhead.

 

[madmackem]

We (sunderland) have been linked with moves for rose and jenas (not sure if want) and dempsey this morning, looks like the window is starting to hot up.

 

[Feorax]

I'm clueless as to who we're looking at but allegedly 1 or 2 more will be coming in. Probably looking to offload Adam, Spearing or Carroll first.

If I had to guess, I'd say the two we are looking to bring in are Adam Johnson and Jack Butland. Seem to be the two we are most heavily linked with.

 

[Roland Garros]

That tackle from Scholes evened up the ledger, though. Neither team left that game with any sort of moral high-ground.

Jack Butland I can see. There's every chance we'll lose Pepe in the next few years and Butland is an exceptional talent.

Johnson, no please. Too expensive, too lazy.

 

[Salazar]

One bad tackle (booked) against the array of shitty fouls (unbooked) towards the end of the game from Everton.

Ur ledger is fucked.

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

"For the moment, there are three offers. There is no agreement. We enter negotiations this week and hope to find a solution," Rennes general manager Pierre Dreossi told RMC.

"I think that it will be done by the end of this week or the beginning of next.

"It's a complicated project with clubs who are not even internally agreed [Tottenham], and clubs that Yann does not want to go to [Zenit].

"There is even a percentage chance that Yann could stay at Rennes this year.

"Arsenal? Maybe, you'll have to call Arsene [Wenger]. But when Song leaves, we must say that Arsenal will reinforce that post. Same thing for a club that sells to Arsenal.

"We maintain our price tag of around €20m [£15.7m]."

Yann M'Vila for £15 million. Wtf Fergie.

 

[Sviatoslav]

So we (Zenit) have offered 10 million for Arshavin. I assume Arsenal will take that and run. Welcome back fatty. I'm glad I was too lazy to change my avatar.

Sooo....

David Ornstein - Nuri Sahin loan virtually done with option to buy
Jamie Sanderson - Nuri Sahin loan done with Arsenal having first option
Guillem Balague - Nuri Sahin loan done with no option to buy/first option
Guardian/The Times - Nuri Sahin deal stalls
DarrenArsenal1 - Nuri Sahin photoshoot done (yesterday)

*sigh* Guess we'll find out soon enough.

 

[Kozak]

Predictions for tomorrow's champions league:

Spartak Moscow 2 v Fenerbahce 1
Borussia Monchengladbach 1 v Dynamo Kiev 1
FC Basel 2 v CFR Cluj-Napoca 0
FC Copenhagen 1 v Lille 2 (Sorry WoodenLung)
Helsingborg 0 v Celtic 2

I usually always cheer for Russian teams in Europe but for Spartak I make a special exception. Fuck Myaso.

Spartak v Fenerbahce has a good chance of being a high scoring game. We're playing our sub -keeper who may as well be a 2nd reserve...

 

[dc89]

EDS NEWS: First home match against Middlesbrough to be free entry at the Etihad Stadium on Friday night: http://t.co/qR8D8aXV

Free football?

I want to see as many of you there as possible! I know I can count on Wilbury.

 

[Sviatoslav]

"It's a complicated project with clubs who are not even internally agreed [Tottenham], and clubs that Yann does not want to go to [Zenit].

Oh well, I wouldn't say that d-mid is our highest priority.

Spartak v Fenerbahce has a good chance of being a high scoring game. We're playing our sub -keeper who may as well be a 2nd reserve...

And Spartak has a shit defense. But what they do have is Brazilians.

I think that Fenerbahce is a slightly better team but Spartak has an advantage in that they are already five games into their season. Should be a fun match.

Yeah the 5 games is going to help them a lot. Our pre-season was incredibly poor and we haven't been able to pick ourselves up yet.

I have hope in our wingers though! Hopefully Krasic will be able to start.

 

[Wessiej]

Spartak-fans here? Will De Zeeuw play? Maybe going to watch that match.

I just HOPE that Kyiv and Braga will lose, it will be glorious

 

[Roland Garros]

I like AVB much more in the casual clothes.

 

[Ushojax]

Hmm, his whole demeanor on match day was very reassuring to me. He was relaxed, smiling and confident, the training gear was a good idea. When he was at Chelsea he seemed like an uptight wanker even before things went to shit.

 

[Salazar]

Christen Press. USWNT so adorable.

So, United might gazump QPR for Kurt Zouma. DOOOO IT.

I woudn't put that much hope in Krasic. Krasic is a one-trick pony. Although it's a great trick, since he played in Russia for 7 years everyone knows hows to handle him. And although I don't follow Seria A very closely I think it happened to him there too.

I'm no Spartak fan but I can tell you he's been a regular for them this season so he is likely to play. And why do you want Kyiv and Braga to lose? Higher seeding for the group stage?

 

[LanceVance]

He's a beast on FM, never seen him play in RL though

Jup if they lose we are in pot 2, otherwise 3.

 

[Salazar]

Mmm. I really don't mind stockpiling CBs.

Fucking Evra belatedly trundling out to put some pressure on (too fucking late) his man. Play your fucking position or get the fuck off. Nobody expects your pace to increase as you get older. But you're supposed to know what to do by now. And loitering by your CBs is not it.

 

[Sviatoslav]

Jup if they lose we are in pot 2, otherwise 3.

I'm afraid of being in pot 2 this year for some reason. Feels for some reason like we'll get Juventus from pot 3 and PSG from pot 4 in our group.

 

[Clegg]

I don't agree with those saying that United need a new CB. We have five already but for of them are injured. Its an unfortunate situation but we shouldn't be trying to buy our way out of the problem. Midfield is a much more pressing concern.

Gay Jacob is saying that QPR are in talks with Zouma but United are favourites to sign him. How can United be favourites then?

 

[Salazar]

Midfield is a much more pressing concern.

Eternally.

But taking something QPR want: priceless.

 

[mocolostrocolos]

Lost 20 points making some transfers. Damn.

 

[Mecha_Infantry]

Damn just seen this...old or not?!

 

[Vivalaraza]

Ouch. I made one pretty knee-jerk transfer already this week. I might make one more before the weekend.

 

[choodi]

I am sure that will make for some interesting songs about fishbowls from the crowd at St James.

With the current squad it wouldn't make any difference. zero points is zero points.

btw; I'm now nr. 516 in the gilette pro ranking. Doing pretty goooood!

Guys watch this Enter Shikari performance

go to around 1:10 and watch the drummer. Ever seen such a scary face?

 

[Sviatoslav]

With the current squad it wouldn't make any difference. zero points is zero points.

Don't give up hope. Remember APOEL last year?

This is such a great price for him.

I guess we we trying to make sure we got him and he didn't go to uhh.... was anyone else even interested in him?

 

[confuziz]

Don't give up hope. Remember APOEL last year?

The difference is, APOEL actually got a decent squad. Probably better than anything in the Eredivisie lol.
