THE PROJOE TOTALLY POINTLESS TRANSFER RUMOUR THREAD

I agree, it would be great to have 2 CB's that arent scared of getting the tackles in. My only worry would still be that we dont have a "tall guy". Spahic is "only" 6ft, which is pretty small for a CB. Its great having guys who will put in the tackles (something I think we do need more of), but our main source of goals conceded is via set pieces.

As much as i want this Spahic deal to be true, i have my doubts over why we would buy him?
Its been said on here before but he is left footed so would play the same role as TV???? Whats the point in that?
We need a right footed monster, a bully and beast of a defender to stay back and controll that line. TV isnt that kind of defender

Spahic would be cover for TV, he wouldn't be a starter.

This is what worrys me!!!!

I dont see Kos as a starter yet, maybe in afew months! Dont see the point in buying Spahic or what ever his name is

Agreed. Unless we get him v cheap and he is happy to sit on the bench as cover. I'd be rather annoyed if we bought him for the Â£20-odd million that they claim to want, and start the season with no new GK.

It wouldnt make Sense! - Spend 10 mil on Kos who might not be first choice, then spend 10mil + on Spahic who would be 2nd choice to TV.

Thats Wenger for you!!!!!

Kos will be a starter with Djourou deputising for him and if we get Spahic, he'll deputise for TV and probably play Carling Cup football. If he does join, it certainly wont be for the value that their chairman was spouting off about. I'd happily take him but only because we look so short at the back, would rather re-sign Gallas tbh.

Has apparently had an offer from S***s but would rather come to Arsenal. Is right footed but still only 6ft1. Have no idea if he's any good?

OGOS.... Do you really think Kos is ready to play as first choice? I really dont think he is ready and it could really damage him to put that much pressure on. Every team is going to expose him as weakness and i really think he will be. He should be second choice at best right now.

Emir Spahic is the Bosnian skipper so he should also provide leadership at the back alongside Verm, I see Spahic as the starter if/when he joins.

Even Bac's chipping in on this (Emir) debate.

Given would be up for loan move

I was just thinking if one of these 2 do go (somewhere) who's Citeh's 3rd keeper.
Oh yeah, Stuart Taylor.

I'd have him back as well!
