I'm not sure we need any more attacking midfielders apart from maybe a left winger. I'd rather spend 20 million on a quality DM or a strong combative box-to-box mid to replace Diaby. Also a striker, but only if he's clearly better than Giroud (Llorente/Cavani/Villa).
Yeah I agree. Some physicality in midfield and a TOP striker should be our targets. Cavani and M'Vila would make me happy. (unlikley I'll freely admit though) (or on a budget how about Biglia and Llorente)
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2253464/Andrey-Arshavin-wanted-Reading.html Has to go. One of the highest paid players at the club and could not even get into the matchday squad for the game against Bradford. Wenger says there is nothing going wrong with him off the field but actions speak louder than words.
A shame because he can still be useful, but it was time he left. Hopefully we'll use his wages on someone who actually plays well regularly for us (like Walcott).
Agree, it's time for him to go. Shame it ended this way, of all the Arsenal flops he is by far the most talented. Just to think that for 6 months Arshavin and Fabgeras were considered the best Arsenal players... what a waste of talent. But the fact that he was ruthlessly played out of position makes me wish him well, he has some work cut out for him at Reading
Rumours are that we might get Arda Turan from Atletico Madrid in the Jan window. I don't know anything about him though. Worth a shot?
Agree with that. He was highly rated when he first broke into the Galatasaray team, but has not fulfilled his potential, also welcome to the forum.
They were saying that about Henry at Juve weren't they? Who knows, Turan could be a quality player. -EDIT- Just read he plays on the left too. We need more options on that side.
http://twitpic.com/bpz7r2/full Make of it what you will This was taken from his official Twitter account.Translated it says "I'm crazy for Arsenal but sad to leave Valencia"
Someone has posted that his agent has made him remove the Tweet.Apparently today is the Spanish equivalent of "April Fools Day" so maybe he's posted it as a joke
As always I'm not expecting much, but I do know that based on previous transfer windows the amount of rumors or linked players is no indication of what is going on.
