Spurs seem keen on Scneiderlin as well.

Also, not sure how accurate this article is, but it states Khedira is currently on 50k a week at Madrid. Surely would be higher than that.

No way in the world he would be on 50k, that's only 2.5m a season BEFORE tax.

Maybe 50k after tax, that would put him on around 110-120k currently (54% tax rate in Spain)

105k is supposed what he wants in England after 45% tax.

We are linked with more RBs - Mauricio Isla and Gino Peruzzi.

I don't know what that means for Jenko. Personally, I rate him above Nacho and we should be targetting a LB instead considering Gibbs struggles to put a few games together before breaking down.

Saw reports of Jenks being loaned to West Ham on twitter this morning.

Think its a good move, Wenger sees him as a future first choice, needs to be playing more often.

Why?

He's been good when he plays. It's not his fault Sagna hardly misses a game.
Nothing against Jenkinson, but no doubt Debuchy will be our first choice this season. I'd rather have a cheap Monreal style back up with Jenkinson playing 35 games somewhere else in the league. Bring him back next season to fight with Debuchy for first XI spot, don't think he is ready just yet.

That's why I think Wenger moved for Debuchy as opposed to Aurier, who is much younger than Debuchy. Wenger is a massive fan of Jenko and would see him as our long term RB. Buying a younger RB like Aurier would've put him in direct competition with Jenko for the next few seasons, but hopefully a loan option is arranged for Jenko to continue to be groomed for the role in a few years time.

Reading that Wilshere may be used as a holding midfielder rather than buying someone new. If he continues lunging into tackles like he does he'll probably last about 45 minutes into the season.

**** no!

Everytime he played alongside Ramsey we leaked goals. It just doesn't work.

Ramsey/Jack was our worst CM combination last season.

Still wondering where Wilshere's best position is. Some say it's in the number 10 position. Either way, he's got a few ahead of him in the pecking order.

I know it's nothing concrete but I had a feeling this would happen.
Don't get me wrong, kudos on the Sanchez capture and flashing the cash, but I had a feeling he'd neg on the fact that we need an actual DM and just "have faith" in the players we have.
Not gonna work, Arteta has never been a DM and is getting on, Wilshere is just a hot head and not good enough to play that position and Diaby ain't a DM either. Come on Wenger push for the signing we've needed for ages.

imo his best position is Ramsey's position, but he has fallen so far behind in the last 2 years he is only really in first team contention if Rambo is injured. His best asset is being able to beat players one on one so maybe he can be turned into a wide player? Did score a cracking goal in the UCL last season coming in from the right wing.
