Bosingwa is a pretty good player, as shown by his performances in the semi and the final.

Kalou is the type of guy who will score against shit teams. I wouldn't be hugely dissapointed if he signed, but only if he was sort of a 'bonus' buy

Yep, Arsene has persuaded him to join and as part of the deal he'll be given a new Xbox and someone to tidy his room every day

The thing is, other clubs make these kinda signings I'm sure, but only at Arsenal are they trumpeted as such an incredible piece of business, in place of proper first team signings.

What's Thomas Eisfeld up to these days. He was meant to be the new Mario Goetze at 1/800th of the price wasn't he?!

Guardian are reporting that Jan Vertonghen is on the verge of signing for our friends up the road. £10 mil approx.

I must confess I haven't seen enough of him to form an opinion but seeing as he plays with Tommy V for Belgium could anyone tell me if we're missing a trick here? I know we have plenty of centre-halves but Djourou and Squidboy don't count.

We are always in either favorite or in pole position to sign these kids. When it comes to first team signings :banghead:
