The Summer 2014 TRANSFER THREAD

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.

Apparently were getting Debuchy for 8m not 12 which is significantly better. I would still rather we got someone younger but I guess AW has Jenko in mind.

I'm curious what people really think of the possible signing of Sanchez(?). I don't know a great deal about him/Spanish football but i've always thought of him as playing in Wally's position. Can he operate on the left wing? Would he perhaps be (used as) the 'top, top' centre forward we're all waiting for..in front of Ozil?

Don't worry yourself mate. Think about things that will actually happen, like tomorrow.

If that happens the meltdown will be bigger than you have ever seen.

Seems really steep to me. They know they could fetch £25-30m for Sanchez, and Liverpool are realistically going to sell Suarez to them even if Sanchez goes elsewhere. Don't see them effectively paying £85-90m for him after the latest fiasco.

Seen the tweet, its all 'could' and 'may' the only reason I'm considering it to be true is down to the way WE balls things up.

Don't like the way this is going, but don't think we were ever in for him anyway. All just paper bollocks.

Ho hum :roll:

Sanchez is still odds on with sky bet and paddy power to join the arsenal, so there's still hope.
