Is that another loan or permanent deal Cym?? Shame as he has never stepped up consistently a la Jack.
It looks like M'Vila could be staying in France http://www.francefootball.fr/#!/news/2012/08/28/153449_-pas-de-nouveau-pour-m-vila.html
Fabregas played the Xavi role almost exclusively at Arsenal, don't think it'll need him more than a few games to re-adapt to that position. **** article anyways.
Bit cheap isn't it? I reckon we could get double, he is a decent player, easily good enough for the championship, when you see Southampton sign that guy from Burnley for about 6 million, i think we're being too generous.
Lansbury did not even get regular game time for West Ham in the championship. We should be glad that he is off our books now. Just need to get rid of Chamakh,Arshavin,Bendtner,Squillaci and Park in the coming days....
Walcott has refused to sign a new contract. Gutted if true. I don't care how inconsistent he is, that's not the point. We are losing our players at every turn.
Of the three who were likely to leave in the window, Theo was the one that is the easiest to replace. We already have the Ox, who's like Theo, but not like Theo, if that makes sense. Rumours on twitter that Theo could be going to Citeh, with Dzeko heading our way.
Only problem is that we might not have any time to replace him. I know we have AOC, but I do think we need another attacking player in the wide positions if Walcott goes.
A few on the pool board are saying about how they wouldn't mind him, I'm different tbh, he isn't a **** player but he's too inconsistent, a bit like Downing - although Walcott's better than Downing! There's a rumour from caughtoffside that we've agreed to sign Huntelaar once we get rid of Carroll, I know it's caughtoffside but I'd love to have Huntelaar
Tell you what though, if Walcott does leave he'll no longer be seen as 'a sprinter with no football brain' by opposition fans but instead all we'll hear is how Arsenal have lost another world class player.
We'll probably get someone in on deadline day. Whether they're any good is another matter. Not sold on affelay now, i was before, now i struggle to see how it would work.
