Also have heard the Midfielder we are in for is Goetze of Borussia Dortmund.

Thats more like it.. 2 real QUALITY players.. reports are that we had a 35m euro bid rejected ?

Yeah, NTV say we've had a 7m bid accepted for Santos. Starts for Brazil at LB which is good.

Apparently Dortmund want 35m euros for Gotze. He is good enough believe me. Will be the next Fabregas but Dortmund DNA won't mean that much hopefully

I think it's as SWL said - we've made an offer/enquiry, but Dortmund are after 35 million euros. Worth every penny IMO, going to be world class.

I'd actually be genuinely pleased if we got Gotze, can't remember the last time I felt like that about a Wenger signing

He wasn't very world class saturday night when he got red-carded

He'll fit in perfect to our set-up

Goetz would be a great signing.

not convinced at all by andre santos, think he is over rated tbh. always is a weak link when i see him play for Brazil

Dont be too short on that.......gotze is a local lad and still lives with his family whilst playing for his hometown club. Tbh I know sweet fcuk all about the guy except that he is rated by many as one of the top young players in europe at the mo so if that is correct then I would be hugely impressed with signing him for starters.

If I am honest though I am sceptical about signing this guy - 35m is a hell of a lot for our club to spend in one go but the player has consistantly said he wants to remain in dortmund so even if we did agree a fee I a doubt we could persuade the guy to leave him to join us especially in our current predictment

glad we've got a left back now tbh if this is true and if he is international quality can't be that bad, would like to hear braziliangooner thinks of him.

hopefully he'll be the next roberto carlos and not the next pascal cygan (specifically filling in at left back against man utd at highbury, when we lost)

it's got to the stage where i just don't believe we're gonna sign anyone at all though.

Funny you should say that, he managed to oust Carlos from the Fenerbache side.

andre santos??? you gotta be fucking kiddin' me

he's a fucking avenue, can provide good crosses and even score the odd goal (a la sylvinho), but his defensive game is shambolic. he's the type of left back that players like ashley young and luis suarez will love to play against

I bet its Denilson really in disguise

Arsenal will try anything to save Â£
