There was rumours a while back in 1 of the papers that mertsacker was going to go in the summer that wenger wasnt happy with his lack of pace for the PL.

You better be right Frank!!!

Some people are saying they dont want him on this very forum!!!

This guy is a warrior

Mikey you are being very selective in what you are saying and it is a misrepresentation of what we said - I am not judging the guy at all and am not saying if he is quality or not but I for one do not want to get into next season seeing song, walnut or the forehead as first 11 players therefore improving the quality at those positions should be a bigger priority unless wenger is selling one of our existing centre backs first. That is all I have said and twisting my words wont change that

Augie its about lowering expectations. Do you really think wenger will drop his love child Song? No chance Walnut wont be going anywhere unless we sell him

HAHA! Augie

There is no way on earth Wenger will spend 20mil on a player that will compete directly with Song.

7mil for a good cb that will be regarded as a bargain, c’mon mate you know how the old man operates.

I am a realist and there is no point talking about players such as M ’Villa Gotze or Hazard as wenger won’t spend that kind of money , nor will he upset his favourite’s.

If it was me I would drop Song,Theo, 4 head and Gibbs from the starting 11!

He does something to do with arranging the player's commitments (photo shoots, booking cabs, arranging them to autograph charity footballs etc). Bit of a handy-man really. :lol:

So when your mate says "done deal", is that 'done' in so much as it's on the cards and all that needs to be agreed is a fee, or whatever - or it is it signed, sealed and delivered?

Sorry to nitpick. I'm just as anxious for signings as anyone!

He is good mates with Wilshere too. You see the squad aren't just mates with fellow players. There are other people who work at Arsenal apart from the squad, Wenger and Pat Rice. :roll: The other thing you should know is that Jens Lehmann is in the frame to replace Pat Rice. 8)

You see that is more like the mikey of old - have been really disillusioned with the "watered down lets keep wenger" mikey that has been on here lately but that is more like you 8)

Mind you if it was me I would drop song, walnut and the forehead from a boeing 10,000 feet up in the air 8) :wink:
