January 2014 Transfer Window

[pantskyle]

Fantastic footballer, would be a perfect fit at Barcelona. Price would surely be in the 30-40m bracket?

With one year left on his contract I doubt it'll get higher than 30m.

 

[pantskyle]

I would never sell Pogba if possible. Has cemented his spot in a pretty tough midfield to break into (Marchisio ) and will be going to the world cup. Would only sell back to France for a hefty fee.

PSG I reckon will spend a big fee for him.

 

[Shoei]

so apparently gundogan has had talks with barca, is a barca fan, and xavi is leaving, plus supposedly been put off madrid by the likes of ozil and sahin.

Xavi to New York
Gundogan to Barca
Cesc to Arsenal

 

[Cruyff14]

The funny thing is, we don't even need Cesc.

 

[Magma]

Where did you read this? Only this morning the latest word from him was that he was focusing on getting fit and hasn't decided. No mention of Barca, makes complete sense they would chase him.

blid + an intervew he had about a year back.

I hate that it makes sense.

Since when has Wenger bought based on needs?

We need a foward?

I expect him to buy a dolphin.

 

[Forward Press]

The dolphin would probably still finish better than Gervinho.

Would you guys want Cesc anyway even if he was available?

 

[Magma]

arsenal dont have a dolphin though

could be his shrewdest buy yet

 

[Jatz]

Did the dolphin convert from there? Would still get a game ahead of Bendtner.

 

[THE411]

That dolphin would definitely add something different but apparently has a bit of a reputation for diving.

how very dare you

 

[biggiemediums]

Are you going to fill the big Fernando Torres shaped hole this month?

Still think the centre of your defence will cost you down the line.

Apart from a 3 game run where the whole team was crap they've been as solid as any other CB pairing in the league. Go look at our GA.

Kudos to you good sir. This is BigFooty though. This brilliant post will go unnoticed!

 

[Jatz]

Valid point. Not sure what I was thinking, that dolphin could never play for Barca or Madrid.

 

[Jatz]

Actually, apparently that dolphin is already playing for Barca! Clearly a step up on Sir Nicklas

 

[pantskyle]

Moyes is scouting the Dolphin, rumoured we'll bid 10m more than the buyout.

 

[Magma]

the thing about dolphin is they always try and walk it in

 

[elhadjihenry]

what was wenger thinking taking the dolphin off that early

 

[Hatchy1992]

I'm happy with matic/Ramires in the pivot. Real formidable cm pairing.

 

[RickSanchez]

You know it's the January transfer window when you're talking about a dolphin and making references to the IT Crowd.

Can be misleading. You're not conceding loads of goals because your whole team plays defensively.

Thats also why you don't score as many as you should with the quality of attacking players you have.

 

[pantskyle]

Apparently United and Real have submitted bids for Gundogan.

I don't think it is. Our CB's have pretty decent so far(apart from a lazy Luiz back pass or two) .

It's the lack of grit in the CM(Matic should fix this) and lack of concentration in the FB's(Ivanovic and an ageing Cole) that cost us goals.

1 goal in the last 7 games ain't bad, we do look better when the whole team defends and it will be our recipe to success.

 

[pantskyle]

Bild reporting 30m offered for Gundogan.

Shaw put up for sale as well apparently.
