Body paint?

Good thing we don't still have Yossi Benayoun, it'd hang off him like a regular top.

 

[bok_party]

Yesssssssssssssss

Assuming the fee was 30m and the fact that we are receiving 17m for Vela and Fabregas plus potentially an extra 2.5 million for Djorou, our total net spend so far is 10.5 million. Add in the 10m for Debuchy then we still have around 40m in the budget to spend on a defensive midfielder/GK/CB. One makes me think that another 30m player is not out the question.

 

[Arsene Wenger]

Looking at the size chart it seems to be around the same. The tight fit ones are player issue whereas there's a fan friendly looser fit one. My advice would be go into a Puma store or sports store and check out the sizes before getting it online.

might go try one on - good idea that.

Awesome!!!!

Didn't they still owe us some cash for the original Fabregas sale and Song?

This may have not dipped into our transfer kitty at all.

 

[mad_monkey_j]

It's only July and we've signed a quality player? This is more unbelievable than the Germany vs Brazil game.

Either of Bender or Khedira would be £25m+ you'd think. If we can't land Bender then I'm not sure Wenger would believe Khedira isworth that expense when perhaps Schneiderlin could be available for day half the price.

If we also make a move on say Remy (£8-10m) then there's perhaps still another sale to be made. Podolski possibly.

Still need a class goalkeeper too.

Khedira only has one year left on his contract so anything over 18m would make him overpriced and I'm not sure if he could form a partnership with Ramsey as both like to go forward. But I also think that the same applies to Bender so I don't really want either in if we continue with our current formation. Though I have slight suspicion that we may see a change information this season with us potentially playing a 4-3-3 or 4-3-2-1 which is why I think the interest in Bender and Khedira is true. However if we don't change our formation then I would prefer us too explore other options, maybe go all out on Javi Martinez or Gustavo.

EDIT- Mascherano would be near perfect for us. His lack of height the only concern.

 

[glenferry23]

Tom I think Bender and Ramsay would be fine, would suit our game better than Khedira. Would be happy with either though. Our interest in Bender has been genuine for sometime, the figures vary in different reports but we had two bid knocked back last year at £18-22m.

As for Masch, wow what a footballer. Would be hot property if he became available on the market.

 

[lewdogs]

One of the things that is so good about this is that we are signing a quality player FROM Barcelona, and not the other way round! Huge statement from the club. Also puts into perspective not signing Cesc, this is spending coin on an area where we need to strengthen.

Even more pumped to play Chelsea next season now. Just pumped for next season in general.

 

[Crow-eater]

Mail saying that we are failing to meet Remy's 75k/week wages. Also that we're lining up the loan of Atleti's Javi Manquillo(another RB)

 

[glenferry23]

75k a week is steep but that's probably what he's been on at QPR. They pay ridiculous wages.

Jenkinson perhaps set for a loan spell.

[Benno_900]

 

[glenferry23]

Not sure on the alternate/blue one. Doesn't tend to be used much during the season anyway.

The other two are class.

 

[Benno_900]

Don't like the green trim on the blue shirt.

 

[Benno_900]

Sanchez has chosen #17.

Monreal moves to #18 and Gibbs to #3.

 

[Shoei]

He'll just take another number.

Sanchez was 7x3 (Colo Colo, Chile and Udinese) 17 at Barcelona. Rosicky is 7 and number 1-11 are almost impossible to get.

I'm sure he was happy to give it up for Sanchez. He was 15 at Malaga (Ox) and 3 at Osasuna (Gibbs)

18, 21, 23 are the numbers under 25 left I think?

 

[monty1104]

Pretty sure arsenal have announced him as #17



From the arsenal website.

 

[CotchNCo]

In honour of Tim Cahill obviously.

 

[glenferry23]

Interesting to see what Wenger does with the captaincy this season. Surely it won't be TV who isn't a first XI player anymore.

 

[bok_party]

You'd say Mertesacker or Arteta will be given it on a permanent basis.
