Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours Thread

There I was worried that the whole place was going to change to butterflies and sunshine, because Han had been converted, and then you restore my faith in the dark side!

To be honest I like Giroud, he tries hard and i'm sure he will be of use playing with top players like Ozil, Walcott, Sanchez (when we get him). But is he running at the required level to get the best out of our attacking forward play and be our number one CF? We will see how the season pans out if we don't get another CF. I can see Wenger changing things if Giroud starts struggling. Automatically the demands on Giroud will increase when you are surrounded by better players.

Shame we couldn't get that done, it would have been an upgrade.

Yep, he was one of the strikers I'd hoped we could have signed. Looks like he's off to Atletico. He works hard and is a similar albeit slightly improved version of what Giroud does. Seeing as we're bringing in Sanchez though, this more than makes up for not signing him. Even if we only get Remy now, our front like attacking options will be:

Sanchez, Podolski, Cazorla, Campbell, Giroud, Remy, Sanogo, Theo, Oxo

I'm still surprised that we are interested in Remy.

Remy's a decent player and offers options as stated on this thread earlier.....

Gives an indication of Wenger's direct involvement in convincing Sanchez to join Arsenal.

Alexis Sanchez of the TV series is over. The Chilean striker will sign a contract for the next four seasons with Arsenal club will pay $ 55 million for having tocopillano services over the coming days.


After months of intense negotiations, the attacker eventually rejected the offer of Juventus, although, according to confess their nearby, his main interest was to return to Italian football.


But how Arsenal managed to convince Alexis?


Arsene Wenger, Arsenal coach, played a leading role in the negotiations. The trainer, who has always been a fan of the game of Alexis, met with tocopillano during the World Cup Brazil 2014.


As reported in the Hispanic portal Sport, Frenchman Alexis explained the benefits of the London club and assured him he would not have trouble adapting to the Premier League. Furthermore, technical tocopillano told not to worry about the financial offer, since that would personally Arsenal put all the money necessary to perform the operation.


"The coach, vowed to bring to the table the money to fix without major problems leaving the club. Nada economic downward or haggling nonsense style Juventus and their pitiful job offers. Arsène Wenger was able to give affection necessary to a faltering in recent weeks, "Alexis said the Spanish media.


Another point that convinced Sanchez was excessive interest exhibited Wegner on him in the ranks of his team. EL DT knew perfectly tocopillano career.


After the meeting, Sanchez asked Wegner few days to discuss the proposal. Days following the meeting, the player contacted his agent, Fernando Felicevich, and told him he had already set his next destination: Arsenal.


The "Yes" from the former Colo Colo player caused the COO "Gunner", Richard Law, approached Barcelona and close business within days.

Ah yes, i was wondering about that..

 

[EmirAleks]

Could be our lineup next Season...

-------------------Szcezney---------------------
Debauchy----BFG-----Koscisleny-----Gibbs
-----------Bender---------Ramsey-------------
----------------------Ozil------------------------
-Walcott-----------Giroud-----------Sanchez-


leaves a pretty solid bench - Wilshere, Chamberlain, Campbell, Vermalen(hopefully), Arteta, Podolski & GK.

It will be Walcott-Sanchez-Cazorla with Giroud on the bench.

 

[Gooner]

It will be Walcott-Sanchez-Cazorla with Giroud on the bench.

Not enough height/aerial threat upfront for me. Germany's 7-1 thrashing of Brazil has proven that technically controlled muscular play will always over power out and out flair.

You get the general gist. But its good that Wenger got personally involved, we know he is widely respected and his personal touch can only serve to impress the player. Not many would turn down Wenger. Maybe he is doing the same for other players?

 

[TheOXOCube:5pur2]

Apparently Gibbs has taken the #3 kit which means Debuchy will probably be #2
Expecting Sanchez to be #21 or #23

 

[Mantis]

Heard a rumour the other day that Joel Campbell may never pull on an Arsenal shirt due to an "incident". Hope it's not true.

Would be nice if Sanchez could take a ''first 11'' number but unless someone gives up their shirt number then obviously this is not possible.

I think that's one of the main reasons he is in Brazil

Aside from the 3 week long jolly right?

Arsenal close to completing Sanchez signing for around £30m. Deal in principle & personal terms agreed, just some details to sort #AFC #FCB



So the GOAT has spoken, looks like Sanchez is a Gunner now

I think Wenger has done his Brazil trip in style. Watched loads of games, played some beach volleyball, posed with some big booty brazilian birds on the beach, did some commentary for French TV and signed two players, one of which is absolutely world class.

Beats sitting around the pool drinking Pina Colada's eh ?

Twitter is going mental with rumours that we've offered Real Madrid for €30m Khedira, but the sticking point is that he wants £150k wages

 

[Krome]

Chelsea are supposed to be interested, he'd get hos 150k there

Just pay the man. If he wants that much, give it to him. Or maybe let Wenger have a sit-down with him too, see if we can knock about 20k a week off his desired wages.

Failing that, just get Schneiderlin or a Bender.

 

[Han Shot First]

Also, as Arsene's clearly been replaced with an impostor, lets throw some money at PSG for Zlatan, Cavani, Lucas and Lavezzi....
