Arsenal are set to sign Basel defender Fabian Schar, 21, in January as boss Arsene Wenger looks to strengthen his backline.
Full story: Metro

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger admits he does not know when forward Theo Walcott, 24, will be fit to return from a stomach problem.
Full story: Independent

Wenger still has a £50m transfer pot to spend at Arsenal even after paying £42.5m for 24-year-old midfielder Mesut Ozil.
Full story: The Sun

But I'm sure I heard something yesterday about Gazidis sayingthat Arsenal had done spending large amounts of money until at least next summer, that the £40mill+ fee for Ozil had cleaned us out!?

The £50m January warchest will save us all again !!

I can see it all now - we will be unbeaten until the trip to OT....then the collapse will set in as Wally, Giroud and Postman Pat's injuries leave the King of Denmark as our sole striker.......the unrest will build as the season slowly slips away......the little teaser comments from Ivan about "significant funds being available in January" will come out in December.......we'll have another 300 page thread anticipating the signing of a £40m striker......before 'like a new signing' Giroud and Wally recover from their injuries, supplemented by Kalou just in time to drive us to the glory of 4th and the all-day wankathon at Carrow Road in May

Fucking priceless that will be. The club that once set its sights on Sneijder, Alcantara and Fabregas ends up with Mong and Fellaini

I would literally blow my own head off if this ever happened

It took us long enough to get rid of this dickhead so taking him back would finish me off

Don't know much about this guy but some of you seem to rate him

Martinez would be a quality signing no doubt.

No need for suicide watch yet Augie, He's just been found out at Barca so is angling (read: his agent) for a move. There's more chance of us winning the league than bringing this wastrel back.

Falmingo was free, so that kind of made sense, we'd have to pay a hefty fee for Dong so I wouldn't read anything into this. Plus, Bouldy would probably take his head off in the arrivals lounge anyway.

The big difference being Flamini was the kind of player we need(ed) song is anything but. Anyone with an ounce of nooggin new we'd got one over on barcawhores in that tey actually paid money for the dopey dozy crunt....If wenger even thought about taking him back under any circumstances - we would know he's back on the looney pills.

Rumours about Pep not wanting Lewandovski at Bayern.
25 year old for 12m? What are you waiting for Arsene?!!!
58 goals in 103 games? That's scoring on half of them, Giroud will take care of the other half

[GranadaJoe]

Lewandowski would be a dream come true but I can't imagine anyone not wanting him. I suspect it'll be Ba on loan.

Juventus ready to sell Arsenal target Paul Pogba if huge bid is made

The Juventus president Andrea Agnelli admits the club would be unable to keep hold of former Manchester United midfielder Paul Pogba if a big offer came in.

The 20-year-old swapped the north-west of England for Turin last summer, departing Old Trafford on a free transfer having grown disillusioned with life under the then manager Sir Alex Ferguson.

Pogba has impressed in Italy, becoming a first-team regular with the Old Lady, and made his debut for France earlier this year.

Juventus are said to be close to agreeing fresh terms with Pogba, but president Agnelli admits if a huge bid came in they would not be able to keep hold of him, having reportedly turned down a bid from Arsenal in the summer.

"If I was to judge it from a footballers' point of view, Italy is no longer the final destination but a transit destination," he said of the fall in Serie A's standing at the Leaders in Football conference.

"I am trying to think what will be of us in two or three years' time if we get a massive offer for one of the best talents we have today, Pogba, the French 20-year-old.

"Would we be able to retain him? I don't know. I don't think at the moment we have the strength to retain such a player.

"Look at what happened to Milan. They had to give away Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Thiago Silva to pay the cheques.

"At the end of the day you can be attractive, but you also need to have the economic strength."
