Do you ever feel an overwhelming urge to punch people who use the term 'legalese'?

Even lawyers use it these days.

 

[Barzul]

Would Khedira really be our no.1 choice though?

Last year of is contract makes his price cheap which probably appeals to Wenger.

 

[omgkitty]

I already muppeted over Khedira, realized he's basically a false DM who's actually a CAM and who isn't very good at it. Would rather have Pogba / Bender / Willy. I'll still reserve judgement until he plays though as he's still a good player, just not the one I want right now.

 

[Salvadora]

Of our realistic options?

Sounds like it.

I suppose.

Not my ideal signing, admittedly, but I'm just happy that we are somewhat addressing that problem area on the pitch.

Would be quite the step up on Arteta regardless.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Khedira's a smart player. He'll figure things out.

EDIT: Dude featured 91 times for Real Madrid in 4 seasons and would've gotten more had he not blown out his knee. And apparently Arsenal fans are turning their nose at him.

C'mon son.

 

[jtb]

I don't know why Wenger hates players who can competently protect a back four and win the ball in midfield, but, off that evidence, Khedira is a perfect Wenger signing.

 

[Freewheelin']

Hixx, Quiche pls

 

[LabouredSubterfuge]

Khedira's a smart player. He'll figure things out.

This is way funnier than probably intended.

 

[Mastadon]

Fucking hell guys come on, the allotted time for Arsenal-based discussion is between 05:30 - 07:00.

 

[sazabirules]

I'm excited that we signed Lukaku permanently.

I'm asleep during that time m8

 

[EmiPrime]

Say what you like about Khedira but at least he's a proper champion, not some kid who throws a wobbly on Twitter to get a move to Spurs. Having one more player who has experience actually winning things can't hurt.

 

[flyover]

I'm excited that we signed Lukaku permanently.

I'm happy for you guys, too. And for him.

 

[TrueBlue]

True say. But you never know with Chelsea. Done brilliantly in the window this year.

I can't imagine the reactions if we pulled that off.

The way this summer's gone, sounds like he and his agent have been up to some funny business to try and get him a move on mammoth wages/a payrise & contract extension tbf

 

[Hixx]

Few Liverpool sites reckon Borini to Sunderland is finally on, medical when he recovers from his shoulder injury (yeah, right).

Wouldn't really pay much heed but last night his lass on twitter said he hadn't rejected us after a couple of weeks of silence on the matter, so...

 

[Arnie]

Lovren has changed his twitter handle.

 

[Mr Cola]

I wish i had Arsenal gafs optimism, well maybe 20% of it, United gaf seems to be huddled together in the corner asking a tarot card reader if the bunny means Vidal is signing.

Wonder what the domino effect of that will be, assumed he'd be staying since Remy is off

Sturridge & Lambert sure as fuck ain't enough

 

[3Sixty]

Lovren has changed his twitter handle.

Heard about that.

What a beggy cunt.

Hope some scouser robs his house when you're playing away in the Champions League.

 

[Mastadon]

Remy back on?

 

[Freewheelin']

Remy back on?

LOL

 

[TrueBlue]

I'm excited that we signed Lukaku permanently.

Congrats man. You're building a good team, one that I think might even challenge for the top four if things go your way.

 

[Salvadora]

Did Remy get treatment for his heart problem?

 

[Barzul]

Remy back on?

No way

 

[Lightning]

Please let Khedira be true and lower his fucking wages. Ramsey, Khedira and Özil midfield future and we will kick ass!

 

[Mastadon]

|OT2| Remyntada.

 

[wedward]

I don't know why Wenger hates players who can competently protect a back four and win the ball in midfield, but, off that evidence, Khedira is a perfect Wenger signing.

Little premature for this.

He wasn't asked to do it at Madrid or for the German team

 

[EmiPrime]

The way this summer's gone, sounds like he and his agent have been up to some funny business to try and get him a move on mammoth wages/a payrise & contract extension tbf

Seems that way. If talks haven't completely broken down by now I think it will go through in the next few weeks.

 

[Hixx]

Did Remy get treatment for his heart problem?

Liverpool are about to get treatment for their cash problem.

Or Remy realised he wasn't going to get £100k a week anywhere.

 

[Hasphat'sAnts]

Please let Khedira be true and lower hid fucking wages. Ramsey, Khedira and Özil midfield future and we will kick ass!

It's not your money. Pay up, Kroenke.

Little premature for this.

Somebody had to do it and it sure as hell wasn't Xabi Alonso.

I'm just confused why Arsenal fans are more excited about neo-Jeremy Toulalan than they are about a La Liga and World Cup winner.

 

[Mr.Marston]

It's not your money. Pay up, Kroenke.

Kroenke? :lol

 

[Barzul]

Seems that way. If talks haven't completely broken down by now I think it will go through in the next few weeks.

Wenger was/is probably playing the long game with him. Leak that deal is dead and we're loooking at other targets. Khedira comes to his senses. Hopefully.

 

[Arnie]

A Mackem started at my place today.

He said "paggered" and he's called Anthony pronounced with a TH.

I reckon he's more Mackem that you.

Not broached Borini yet.

 

[wedward]

Paying Big Sam 200k would fuck up our wage structure. I am sure he will get something similar to Ozil and Sanchez.

 

[Slizz]

Seriously though, are we signing someone other than Verm? That whole situation is fucking weird to begin with.


Have we been legit linked to any Dutch players other than the random stupid WC rumors?


EDIT: And that outrageous Strootlord rumor.

 

[Salvadora]

Paying Big Sam 200k would fuck up our wage structure. I am sure he will get something similar to Ozil and Sanchez.

Not sure he's worth that much, but it's probably fair given what he has achieved in his career so far.

 

[Barzul]

It's ridiculous that anyone but the absolute cream of the crop should get that much money.

Vermaelen is definitely gone this summer, whether to you guys, Barca or Napoli, who knows.

Probably as I'm not from Sunderland.

Anthony with a silent 't' is for weirdos and southerners.

"Paggered" means knackered.

 

[EmiPrime]

Wenger was/is probably playing the long game with him. Leak that deal is dead and we're loooking at other targets. Khedira comes to his senses. Hopefully.

Yeah. No way he gets paid north of £150K no matter how much agent funny business drags this out.

 

[wedward]

Not sure he's worth that much, but it's probably fair given what he has achieved in his career so far.

I agree. Might as well try and get as much as you can. I think he will settle of 130ish. Seems like his options are Arsenal(play with your best mate), stay at Madrid(bench) or Monaco.

 

[Arnie]

Probably as I'm not from Sunderland.

Anthony with a silent 't' is for weirdos and southerners.

"Paggered" means knackered.

Wait, he said that you pronounce it like thony not Tony.

Do you mean with a silent h?

He said I was a southerner pronouncing it Antony. I was miffed. Not a good start.

 

[Hixx]

Yeah that's what I meant, brain fart.

"Anhony" is a great name though.

Well played. On the bus headed for Yankees Stadium. A few chartered buses from The Mad Hatter (City bar).

 

[Clegg]

Blind would make sense coz he covers a few positions we're weak in. No real links to him though. We've been sold a pup by the Glazer's though. "No transfer budget" "Watch this space". Fuck off.

 

[Arnie]

Anth and Dec.

 

[jtb]

would a Khedira-Ramsey-Ozil midfield trio be bullied by Chelsea or City? I think so.

 

[Elchele]

I miss the Super Bayern

Heynckes

 

[Slizz]

Pretty much why I'm getting worried and frustrated at this point.


Obviously we have money to spend.... We already spent some.

But we didn't get close to filling all the holes we needed and those spots are the ones that takes the pressure off our god DDG. We need to make him comfortable. More signings are definitely needed now.

If we were seriously in for Vidal its obvious we wasted our time and thats not even because Vidal declared his allegiance.

I'm nervous.

 

[wedward]

Nah, don't think Chelsea will. Matic a little but Oscar and Cesc would get bullied by Ramsey and Khedira.

City it depends on what mood Yaya is in.
