Michel Bastos of Lyon to Arsenal.

Is the Silva deal official yet?

[Vinny1967]

Sky Sports now reporting a deal has been agreed between Arsenal and Madrid for Sahin. Now it's up to the player apparently and it doesn't state whether there is an option to buy.

next up sneijder , right flash?

Probably because Madrid don't want to sell.

Ok fine. We do know though that Rennes want to sell M'Vila. We also know that Lucas Biglia is for sale. Steve Defour at Porto is also for sale. We could make a £20 mil bid for Fellaini. We also know that Thomas Muller is having problems at Bayern.

So how about doing business with a club that does want to sell??

That would tie in with what tbe Rennes president said about M'vila possibly going to a club that sold their defensive midfield player to Arsenal - don't ask me for tbe quote as I am on my phone not my laptop yet and inteternet surfing is a mare.

That's a fair point but maybe he don't fancy them and prefers Sahin.

Who knows, deep down you know he's trying to tie them down with an option to buy so the club are trying to get more than just a loan but until its announced we won't know if they were successful or not.

I don't get the hang up anyway, its not like he's some kid out of their youth team that has it all to prove, he's an established player coming to play, he's not gonna be developed in any way, he's gonna help us more than anything while helping himself.

Yeah I read that too Stuart.

Of the holding midfielder's future, Dreossi told RMC: "Arsenal? Maybe. You need to ask Arsene Wenger. I think Arsenal will look for a player in this position. He (M'Vila) could go there or to a club which sells Arsenal a player."

In Wenger's mind he would make an ideal solution to the DM problem

[RioGooner]

Bastos hasn't been a LB for a looong time. When he got his WC cap he actually said in a conference that he played the 09-10 season as a RW. so, don't see how to improve from what we have.

Arteta---------------Sahin

with Jack to come in when he gets fit!

WHAT A FUCKING MIDFIELD!!

[spendsum4uckingmoney]

Cant wait till Mvilla joins spurs. Dont want him. Jack of all trades, Wilshere of none.

Fair enough you don't want him....but why on earth would you want the scum to have him??? If he fulfils his potential he'll be a WC defensive midfielder. Personally I think he's what we need because we don't have a mean enforcer in the squad (Frimpong doesn't count - he's a joke).
