Apparently Arsenal have a Colombian DM, Sebastian Perez, on trial. He posted a picture if him in the changing room on Twitter (can't link on mobile) with Vermalean. Any info. on him?

Looks like we are really in for a DM now. A few different people are linked with us and now this South American guy who is also a DM. Good news that we're going in for one.
We need reinforcements both at youth level and senior level. I'd like to see a few senior players come in. Mikel Arteta on record again today saying that some new players would be nice. I hope the club heed the repeated calls to buy new players. They are growing ever louder.
So Miquel and Yennaris are going out on loan to Leicester according to the Mirror. At this rate we won't be able to field a fully 11 by matchday.... that's 28 players either sold or loaned this summer alone.
We have only Koscielny, Mertesacker and Sagna who can play there now. Vermaelen injured. Monreal injured. Only Gibbs is left. So that makes 4 fit first team defenders in the entire club (that I know of). Heaven help us if we get another injury. I think it's time to stop the streamlining process and get some reinforcements in.
Miquel and Yennaris are both in the final year of their respective contracts so I imagine that will be the end of their Arsenal careers.
I actually erred there, 28 players gone not including loanees. That is staggering. Never known another summer like this.
For me its a clear indication that we will be bringing in players. We have been linked with alot of youth and senior players and i think we will see several additions. I like Miquel as a CB and hope he impresses enough at Leicster to get another contract. Yennaris i think will be let go after his loan spell.
Yeah, I'm really sure a 20 year old being given a trial at Arsenal is the answer we've been looking for to address our defensive midfield issue, what a joke. We need to sign a DMF, it doesn't mean if we sign any DMF then that's a good job done.
This transfer window seems to just get worst, so we're going to sign Ginter? A 19 year old CB? Yes, because that's what Arsenal really needed. So far we have signed an unproven French under-20 striker, and now another under-20 CB, Wenger's version of 'strengthening' the squad, yeah, those of you saying Ginter is a good signing, love to see your thoughts if say we had to rely on Ginter when going into a major game, say against your United's, or Barca's, great squad depth eh, having to rely on a 19 year old CB. These signings do nothing to strengthen us, but only serve to keep the status quo of allowing the squad to just get the bare minimum of ending in the top 4, if anyone believes otherwise, then they're ****ing deluded.
He may be highly rated, I'm not saying he is dog ****, but sorry, he's not the needed player to take Arsenal to the next level. If we're going to sign a CB, let's at least sign an experienced proven CB, enough bloody youth. If we sign Ginter, and the Colombian DMF, that's 2 very inexperienced players, a 19 year old, and a 20 year old, plus the other 19 year old we signed from Auxerre is not the answer to Arsenal's problems. For God sakes we've always been saying we need experienced players to help us, and now it looks like we're going on a bloody youth spending spree, though not spending much actually, typical Wenger saving all the money, rather than use it to buy proven top quality, spend 6 million here, and a free transfer there, on unproven young talent. Scrapping for top 4, here we come again, if these are the type of signings we're going to be making this summer.
He's not a CB. The Colombian will go to the reserves and go watch Ginter for Frieburg. Hardly unproven.
Honestly though, does ANYONE really believe we're title contenders by signing Sanago, Ginter, and possibly Sebastian Perez? Really? These are the signings we were all hoping for at the end of last season, to strengthen us, and allow us to compete for trophies, and possibly win some. These are the signings to put us somewhere closer to the likes of United, Madrid, Barca, Bayern, and so on? At this point, all the other clubs have still considerably strengthened much better than us with much better players. For ****s sake I seen some fans on here saying City haven't signed good players, LOL, so what does that make our signings? If City's signings don't impress some of you, are you really impressed with our signings (Sanogo) and potential signings (Ginter, Sanchez)? If City's signings aren't good enough, then by comparison, ours are monkey crap.
