So essentially he'll have a great Euro's, his price will sky rocket, and Wenger wil look to Joel Campbell, Ryo and Benik Afobe instead.

No doubt registering Thierry as close to the deadline as possible in order to save some dosh on his wages. Hey if they register/complete it next week they have a spare 70,000 to spend on Panda Pop and Revels for the Directors Box.

Has it been mentioned that Mannone's gone to Hull on loan? Frees up that spot in the squad for the Oman wingback.

One of the Dortmund lads can correct me, but isn't it more likely you'd look to cash in on Grosskreutz or Barrios if you were to let someone go to fund the Reus deal. Well if you wanted the funds for it now anyways, as of course the Summer is another matter.

Some Barca bloke on twitter keeps tweeting about Abidal's contract being up in the Summer and free to negotiate a deal for himself now January has come round. Worth a punt on loan with option to buy if the Spanish gits would be so kind. Probably CL cup tied though.

I'm just glad we haven't got lumped with him signing up Brek Shea on a deal as the left back cover. Just because he has played there a few times would not warrant playing another non-Premiership experienced midfielder at fullback. I was dreading him being the fullback cover coming in since I heard ...

I got a Arsenal Money Counter. Guess I can use it to reinact the penny pinching the board will be up to through January.

I'm sure I recall reading something around the time most of us got sent out that fan survey about new shirts and our preferences on shirt matters, that the shirts next season would feature Redcurrant/Burgundy from the kits Nike did to mark the last season at Highbury. Could this insider be stating ...
