Up the Arse! Goons Thread

[Hlebalicious]

We are getting destroyed before our season even begins, just like old times.

2-2 draw with KitChee yesterday (Hong Kong Champions). Walcott and Eisfeld scorers.

Fell behind twice ... shambolic defending for both goals as usual.

Nice assist from Gervinho for the late equaliser.

 

[glenferry23]

caught the highlight, yes gervinho had a nice assist. he cant score to save himself, but can deliver a good final ball

podolski and giroud unlikely to be ready for the start of the season, more wonderful injury news.

so that's rosicky, sagna, wilshere out for the start. and possibly RvP.

 

[Benno_900]

So we have no fit CF?

Chamakh doesn't count. Play RvP if he's still here.

 

[glenferry23]

reports emerging that we'll make RvP wait until january at least. if we sold him in january then we'd get SFA of a transfer fee compared to selling him now, but it would be a hell of a way for the club to finally show some balls and make a player stay.

bendtner, squillaci and park are close to being sold from what wenger said. take what we can get and then move on i say

 

[Latro]

They are not injured just not match fit. Only the Ox and Walcott went on tour that played at the Euros.

Just been reading the Twitter and it seems that Cazorla and Sahin will be signing in the next 24-48 hours - great signings. Cazorla is taking a while due to the abnormal financial situation at Malaga, whilst Sahin will be on a loan deal. Seems that there is growing talk of Alex Song leaving Arsenal. Some seem to think it's a smokescreen by his agent to get a better contract, but then @LeGrove tweeted: "... put it this way. Song doesn't love the club like you think he does. We'll talk more if he goes." So don't know what to make of that, but it seems intriguing nevertheless.

 

[glenferry23]

yes the song to barca rumours are growing. who knows though. would be fantastic to wrap up sahin AND cazorla in the next few days, would be over the moon with that

meanwhile, an agent is announcing RvP to juventus is done

[Latro]

Songs agent is Darren Dein he is gone.

 

[Starlin Castro]

Some Spanish airport marshall has taken a selfie with Cazorla about to board a plane with his girlf and agent on the way to London. Gotta love social media.

 

[glenferry23]

haha, that's brilliant. arriving for a medical today from all reports, hopefully we seal the deal shortly

 

[Benno_900]

Alex Hleb needs to have a talk with Song.

He's nowhere near good enough for Barcelona.

 

[glenferry23]

reports state cazorla has passed his medical and the club is set to announce his official signing any day now. will be a fantastic signing

wrap up sahin and sell bendtner, park, squillaci and it will be an excellent summer's work, regardless of what RvP does

 

[windyhill]

Cazorla ! Nothing but from me, rapt.

 

[glenferry23]

fantastic footballer, can play wide on the flanks or in behind the striker. just the type of versatile footballer we need, all at a fee of around 16m pounds. is set to be announced tomorrow UK time. brilliant

I agree with this...would just like to see a couple of top quality players come in at the back.

Yes our fullbacks are an area of concern. Gibbs is injury prone and sagna of late has also suffered some serious injuries, and then all of a sudden we're in djourou territory again....

Not sure we'll sign any cover though, but it would still be a very productive summer of we seal cazorla and sahin. And who knows, this may just be the type of ambition that would convince RvP to stay

 

[Benno_900]

RvP apparently reluctant to move to Man City.

Juve easing off and United won't meet asking price. Might be forced to stay.

 

[AG]

He'll probably stay. Surprised at the lack of serious interest but I guess his age and injury past is still a stumbling block for many potential homes.

 

[glenferry23]

Gotta love your rotation of avatars Aussie

RvP wage demands apparently too high, plus good to see the club dig it's heels in regards to transfer fee we required. Will be a interesting few days I feel

 

[superfreak]

A bit of speculation we are in for Gregory van der Wiel from Ajax. Hasn't been in the best form but we need depth at RB with Sagna and Corporal Jenkinson.

 

[windyhill]

Hope Caz comes in with the right mindset, he knocked us back this time last year. The boy is absolute silk.

 

[Benno_900]

Salomon Rondon off to Russia.

Big news as he was Juve's backup choice to RvP. Might be stronger interest now.

 

[RickSanchez]

Why do we always take months to sign someone. Other clubs wrap things up within a week, been a month or so now since the Cazorla rumours.
