Up the Arse! Goons Thread

Correct, it commences on July 1. So why would they sell him now? Unless we get near that, they're under no pressure at all to contemplate selling such an asset.

 

[7zark7]

When he is pulling on a Man City/Chelsea shirt in the summer Wenger will play it like we made a good offer.

 

[NTRabbit]

Seems more like someone leaked the opening bid from Arsenal and neglected to mention the opening response from Schalke was 70mill, with negotiations having moved on much since then.

I expect the next thing we will hear is that Gnabry was offered or demanded as part of the price, and it's "likely to happen"

 

[Benno_900]

Ramsey out for 6 weeks with a thigh injury.

**** **** ****

WTF is with this club and extended injury absences? ****ing sick of it - it's going to end in tears again.

 

[Latro]

Flamini is up for a 4 game suspension due to having 5 yellow cards by 31 December.

 

[Tomnat Tigers]

Why do people believe we actually make bids for players? We make enquires then once we agree a fee we lodge an official bid. Suarez the exception to that.

 

[Benno_900]

Flamini is up for a 4 game suspension due to having 5 yellow cards by 31 December.

I thought he already took his ban for those yellow cards?

He did it carries over for other offenses in the season. Arseblog has the details.

 

[Benno_900]

That article is incorrect.

Basically, the additional game rule only comes in if you've had a red card in the same season.

FWIW, Schedule A does not mean subsection a.

 

[windyhill]

Could be a good point that one. Yids are in form, they'll either draw or beat city.

 

[glenferry23]

John Cross is persisting with the Morata loan deal rumors. Says we're still trying to seal Draxler but perhaps a pre summer agreement is more likely.

Was he the one that broke the Ozil transfer?

Nope. This guy was. He says a fee has been agreed between Arsenal and Schalke for Draxler and its matter of if the deal happens now or at the end of the season.

happy with the results this morning, city/spuds draw would have been better but watching tottenham embarrassed at home is always something to smile at

 

[glenferry23]

Surprised at Chelsea's result. City have looked ominous for a while now. At home though I was hoping Spurs could do something.

 

[Crow-eater]

Bloody Spuds. Useless. (But still entirely hilarious) Good on the Hammers though, certainly helps us.

City and Chelsea play each other this week, so one of them is going to drop points. Beat Palace and we either go back top or move clear of 3rd.

"Sources in Germany claim that a £36 million fee between Arsenal and Schalke has been provisionally agreed for Draxler. The structure of the deal and the scheduling of different payments, including how much the Gunners would pay up front, has been a sticking point."

"Wenger is also interested in signing 22-year-old Tello on loan from Barcelona for the rest of the season to give Arsenal more attacking options and pace."

"Reserve goalkeeper Lukasz Fabianski may be allowed to join Schalke as part of a deal for Draxler. The Pole has already been lined up as a summer signing by the Bundesliga club, with his contract ending in the summer.
Lukas Podolski is to seek talks over his future after becoming frustrated at spending too much time on the substitutes bench."

This sums it up nicely

 

[elhadjihenry]

^^^^ to be fair GeoffArsenal called the Ozil transfer very early on (albeit vaguely - something like "40 million pound german", could just have been of those "broken clock is right..... etc"

 

[glenferry23]

Sky & BBC are usually pretty credible.

John Cross usually knows his Arsenal stuff but he's also been wrong many times before. His latest update though says Draxler will actually return from injury next week, as will Rosicky. Interesting reference to Fabianksi going the other way.

[Arsene Wenger]

You just really never know do you. I mean where do they get the figures from. This is what gobsmacks me the most.

Anyway, would love Draxler to come now and Vucinic seems like not a bad option for 6 months.

Cross knows **** all about our transfer dealings and if I had to take a guess is fed bullshit by our media team to make it look like we are working on deals. But by continually being fed bullshit we occasionally give him a scoop such as the Puma news which he was the first to break or injury news. Essentially he is our Guinea pig.

 

[trueblue_91]

Check out Draxler's Wikipidia page. Says he is an Arsenal player

"Julian Draxler has 1 brother named Miggy Perez, they live together in Germany. Julian Draxler is also fond of the Facebook group named "The Arsenal Insider" Hopefully Draxler will join Arsenal."

I wonder where wiki stands in that credibility graph above...
