That story reeks of a website knowing that Arsenal fans are getting antsy for Khedira news, aren't getting it, and will get hits by posting that there's news.
Every man & his dog knows that caughtoffside is a pile of ****e but being that this is a transfer rumours thread I thought I'd post a transfer rumour
The same sketchy media outfit are saying that we're 'close' to signing Balotelli for £15.8m. At that price it would definitely be a risk worth taking and could turn out to be the bargain of the century.
Nah ... bale for £5m wins that one....or ronaldo for for £12m...but balotelli at that price is a great deal...hope it aint true as you will be a very good team
This would be tasty: ------------------------------------------ Szeszney --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Debuchy-----------------Mert--------------------------Kos--------------------Gibbs-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------Khedira-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Ozil--------------------------Ramsey---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Walcott--------------------------------------------------------------Sanchez------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------Balotelli-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
His goal ratio isn't the best once you take out his penalties. Seem to remember he scored 5 penalties when he went on a 12 goal run in 13 games. Also 4 penalties last season when he scored 18 in 41 games.
That's a different sort of 'great' deal in that it was lot luck you got a player who turned out that good. Same with us and Vieira and Henry. Same with Liverpool and Suarez. Same with you and Bale, same with United and Ronaldo. No clubs realised what they were onto when they signed those players. How they all turned out exceeded expectation. Balotelli is clearly already very good. £15m for a player of his current ability could be a good deal. Not a great one mind... Don't know what PISKIE is going on about there. But could be a good bargain.
I think everyone can at least agree that given the choice of Giroud or Balotelli, Balotelli would be an upgrade. Although I maintain my position that we don't need arseholes at the club, and Balotelli is a grade-A arse.
According to a Portuguese website O Jogo,Sporting Lisbon have turned down a €30 million for William Carvalho from Arsenal.
Wenger has said that we're definitely in for more players this window. We're all thinking Kherdira, Bender, Schneiderlin. But do you think we've got our eye on any other players and who do you think they might be ?
I don't know why you say that. Giroud has a better goal-scoring record. Why is Balotelli such a clear upgrade? I thought everyone was complaining that Giroud didn't score enough goals. Balotelli is not going to help defending set pieces etc., and Giroud has more assists, so what exactly is Balotelli better at?
Lady Arse is reporting a story in a newspaper called Nice Matin that a fee has been agreed for David Ospina
Don't believe the Balotelli rumours for one minute. Wenger has already dismissed the possibility of signing the Italy International. Normally he would say 'he won't give names' but with Balotelli he just straight up dismissed the rumour. He also agreed with Gullit who called the player 'unmanageable'.
Same twitterers who first reported Rodriguez to Madrid (ridiculous fee) are now saying Khedira to Arsenal deal is done. Rodriguez was seen in a Madrid airport, so maybe there's something to it.
