Next you will be saying this is the best thread ever to appear on this forum

[I Hate Hleb]

What annoys me is that if Wenger hadn't bought a soul the thread that is the Wenger points of view would be bursting with negative after negative, yet love or hate him he has bought potentially FOUR world class internationals....what more do you want?

Maybe it's a case of once bitten, twice shy ....

YOU LOT need to realise we have a striker who has just won a title in France and scores goals that the Great number nines such as Drake, McDonald et al used to score..a man who will nod in plenty of goals like Smudger did. (Chamakh?)

YOU LOT need to realise Santiago Corzorla is utter utter world class and is the sort of signing YOU LOT have been screaming on about throughout these seven years of non trophy winning. The guy will bring an extra dimension to our game that has been missing since Robert Pires saw his number held up in Paris... (Gervinho?)

YOU LOt need to realise the Sahin is a player we all admire and know will bring that steal to the midfield that has been missing since Paddy knocked home that cup winning penalty... (Arteta?)

YOU LOT need to realise that we have a striker who has scored as many international goals than anyone in the modern era...it ain't two bob Robbie 'The Odious Orish tosser' Keane, it's Lukas Podolski Germany's most prolific scorer of goals only surpassed by the legendary Gerd Muller. (Mertesacker, if you substitute 'Goal Scorer' with 'Defender'?) ....

...so we're keeping an open mind this time?

a bit like parachutes really I guess!?

Sammy, germany's 2nd top scorer all time is Klose, not Poldi.

Marca now reporting Şahin to Arsenal is almost complete, clubs must agree on the % of his wages being paid by each. [via @Realmadridplace ]


What an excellent signing he's going to be. And yes Augie, before you start moaning, he's a defensive midfielder.

Indeed...but 44 international goals in 101 games should not be sniffed at even when in Muller and Klose company...

this just might turn out to be One Fine Summer!

[officepest]

Why the shitting Crikey would Barca want Dong? PLEASE let this rumour have legs & chuck in Djourou for free to sweeten the deal too!

[QuartzGooner]

So far my guess is:

Podolski replaces Arshavin (and plays up front if needed)

Giroud replaces RvP

Plus if we sign these two -

Cazorla replaces Benayoun (but is a likely starter once bedded in)

Sahin - interesting loan move.

Acts as an extra "all round" midfielder whilst Wilshere and Frimpong are injured, and the likelehood of Diaby being injured.
Also allows for the possibility of Coquelin playing right back if Jenkinson fails to make the grade whilst Sagna is injured, and as insurance in case Song is sold late in the transfer window without time for us to get a replacement.

A left back and goalkeeper requested too please!
