El Haddadi isn't coming

I say just spend 35m on Costa. I would hate it if we had a repeat of 07/08.

Usually as footie fans we watch closely at events regarding our own clubs but only pay passing interest in events elsewhere but from reading different reports in recent days it appears that cortese will be a huge loss for Southampton and I am wondering if he should be the type of guy that should be working for us Reports seem to suggest that he has been outstanding in his efforts in the transfer markets both in identifying targets and then persuading them to join southampton We have all frequently lamented the loss of DD in that key area for the club and to most of us it appears that our performance when it comes to identifying and securing players is little short of woeful for a club of our size and it (transfer negotiating) is absolutely an area that wenker should not be involved in so a specialist in that dept would, for me at least, be a big step in the right direction

Cortese isn't coming

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hinted he will sign a new contract at the club. His current deal expires at the end of the season.

That's the only bit of the BBC gossip column worth reading today

[Henry Norris 1913]

9 years no trophies, absolutely no pressure from the top to deliver. Fucking disgrace

If you were a real fan Henry Norris you would have patience.

This is untrue. Over the past few years I did saw on tv wenger and his boys paraded the 3rd/4th place trophy on an open top bus in north London.

Bad enough that Wenger seems determined to screw any chance of us winning the PL with his lack of transfer activity without the players doing the same with the lack of effort on the pitch.

Would there be a point in bringing in a 30 year old from the Italian league to a team fighting for the title? (Mirko Vučinić)

on transfer plans…
We are not on any special case. I would love to announce something that would excite you and me, but i don’t have the possibility to do it.

ONE ARSENE WENGER....THERE'S ONLY ONE ARSENE WENGER

Realistically that's probably the best we're going to get. Wenger satisfied himself with going for Ba on loan in the summer, although he knows we need to sign a striker he'll look for a stop-gap solution.

After all, Joel 'Carlos Vela II' Campbell will be returning at the end of the season and it'll be like a new signing.

After seeing Berbatov today I wouldn't be interested in signing him.

Granted he had limited supply against our solid defence and Fulhams lack of creativity but for me he is a player when the going gets tough he seems to hide away
