SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

Luiz Gustavo would be a sexy signing.

My abiding memory of him is for breaking Darren Fletcher's world record for number of times you can kick people without being booked in the Champions League semi-final second leg against Madrid last year.

Bayern have about 12 good midfielders so even greedy Pep has to let one or two go and from what I've seen he seems like he might shake things up in the middle a bit. (Hypothetical) thoughts?

On the other hand I've long made it clear that letting Diarra go was one of Wenger's most underrated mistakes, and although he seems a bit of a prick again he seems like the sort of player that we need and at 28 won't exactly be angling for a big move away at every opportunity.
Give credibility,did u not read the bit about it being on twitter.
I did McDowell but after I checked GeoffArsenal's page and saw he was only willing to retweet others and not put his personal endorsement on the rumour naturally I became suspicious.

As far Eto'o he's probably better than what we're actually going to get (if anyone) but the bloke is a shadow of the player he was.

Add to this he's the world's highest-earning player on a reported £350k a week, get real.

Eto,seriously some of you guys need to have a day off.5/6 years back would have taken him,hes over 30 and on huge money @ tht russian crowd could you see him wanting to drop his 300k a week salary,he lost all credibility when he signed for them,like any player who went and joined them they did so for the money.Jesus guys whinge on here for signing over 30s and would now like us to take a guy who is on a massive salary.

The Eto'o suggestion is quite ludicrous I agree. He's old, on mental wages and past his best.

I can understand that but would it not be the same for every foreign player that signs for a russian or ukranian team ? We sure as hell know that they aint going there for the quality of football, the lifestyle or indeed the weather.

Listen I know that eto's best days are behind him and I certainly wouldnt be reaching for the box of tissue's if we sign him (unlike some eh jd :wink: :lol: ) but the fact is that we have giroud and nobody else for the strikers position (wenker plays podolski wide so dont suggest him). Personally I would have signed higuain and either remy or darren bent to fill the strikers quota but right now we have nobody. I would much rather sign eto than alidaire or some other numpty from the french/african leagues and realistically how many of us are expecting wenker to sign top quality at this stage ?
