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.

I hope you're being tongue-in-cheek. It's just tears, I'm pretty sure the little Spud eventually got over it :lol:

Based on very good sources: Yesterday Arsenal offered Schalke 30 mill Euro and @Podolski10 to get Julian Draxler.

Horst Heldt told German TV today that Draxler will stay. Is he as big a liar as AW? Who knows...

I wonder if there is any truth to the Mata rumours. I just had a glance at Chelsea's squad and they have 23 players that have to be registered (under 21s are excluded) and you can only register 21, so that is atleast 2 players leaving. Also and I may be mistaken, but I only count 6 or 7 Chav players who have played for an English club for 3 years prior to turning 21 so I don't think they can afford to sell Moses from that POV.

Essentially I see this happening:

Demba Ba is certain to leave but they would still need to get rid off 1 more. I would be suprised if anyone wanted Torres given the money he is on. Mourinho loves Essien and besides they need defensive cover. The signing of Etoo really complicates things for Chelsea, especially with Willian.

ATM for forwards they have (excluding Ba)

Hazard, Mata, Moses, Oscar, Willian, Schurrle

Lukaku, Torres, Etoo,

There's no way Mourinho can keep all of them happy, especially as he loves to play 1 CF (usually big and strong). Whilst i'm 99% sure Mourinho would love to sacrifice Torres for reasons mentioned I don't think it will happen and if they sell Moses they would have to replace him with an U21 grown in which case it would be fairly pointless and therefore not as obvious as you may think.

I think there is something going on. Maybe Mourinho wanted to use Mata as exchange material for Rooney had a change of heart. I could be overthinking it but there may be a chance.

No I'm serious, let's show a bit of class. There are more needy targets for mochery within our own club for a start.

Can someone please tell me what sort of player Cabaye is?

Is he a Carrick type player? or a younger version of Arteta? or more defensive minded than that? or is he a centre midfielder who prefers to go forward like Wilshere? or a bundle of energy like Ramsey?

I know I've seen him play before, but only against us and I tend to focus on Arsenal. I think we' might sign him, so I was just wondering how he'd fit in and compliment what we already have.

One thing's for sure - he isn't a fucking striker and neither Is Draxler......so on that basis I don't give a flying about either of them as we could sign five players and if none of them were a striker we're still fucked
