The Summer 2014 TRANSFER THREAD

[the playing mantis]

Sánchez is our striker. Chambers can play RB, LB and CB.

Really excited about this. We haven't had a quality English RB since Dicko, and you don't say no to elite English talent.

How can you expect Sanchez to play 45+ games in one of the most physically demanding leagues in the world while being about 5'7? Assuming he doesn't get any injuries of course. It doesn't matter if Wenger decides to put him there in the predictable formation he always uses, he is not a natural out and out striker. How do you fail to grasp such basic information?

Giroud, NOT GOOD ENOUGH, Postman, NOT GOOD ENOUGH, Campbell, NOT GOOD ENOUGH. If Sanchez gets injured these are our backups.

Tevez didn't seem to have any problems playing upfront on his own for City at 5'7".

Sanchez is a fighter. that's more important than size or lack of it.

is that what u said to ur balague fancying ex?

[Chippy]

Can I just point out that we haven't signed any of the players that have been mentioned other than Debuchy and Sanchez. Everything is just speculation at the moment. Just remember all the other signings 1989 has got his knickers in a twist over in the last few years.

Also Campbell has not been given a squad number, nor indeed has Djourou.

Wenger has confirmed Ospina, and Chambers has done his medical already.

Where does it say that on Pravda?

Tevez didn't seem to have any problems playing upfront on his own for City at 5'7".

Sanchez is a fighter. that's more important than size or lack of it.

is that what u said to ur balague fancying ex?

Didn't have to, I'm very well endowed but thanks for your interest.

All part of wenger's new plan to fuck with maureens head...sign Carvahlo on last day of Transfer window... whilst getting shot of all the deadwood...

@Augie, I cant agree with 2 comments you make, first you accuse AW of no "plan" then you say that Chambers should be bought after a DM etc.

However many players dont just hang around on the off chance that we will sign them, its hard to have a plan when you cannot predict who will necessarily become available.

Thus not many could have foreseen Sanchez becoming available, as Suarez wasnt thought to be going late into last season.

Likewise its hard to have foreseen that Saints would self destruct as they have.

It makes no sense to hang around while (We all hope...) tieing up negotiations over a DM and see others nip in for Chambers, no sense at all.
I know you see that we can just launch bids and get players, but for whatever reason that doesnt happen, and in fairness that seems the case for all bar Citeh Chavs Real and Barcawhore/ Bayern.

One comment you often hear about us is that we are difficult to play against as we dont play "to plan" its all unpredictable. Thats when we are at our best, we all love it when its like that, we are unplayable. . You cant have it both ways really, but either way a plan isnt coming very soon, frustrating as it is at times, and great at others. (Hope this makes some sort of sense)

Fair enough - you make reasonable points but my argument is for the following reasons -

1. We are (assuming this story is true) committing time and energy into negotiating and closing this deal - this is, in my opinion at least, time, energy and focus that would be better served on securing talent in the more pressing positions (particularly the DM position)

2. We werent pressed into rushing into this deal - no other club appears to have made bids for him so the "other clubs might nip in ahead of us" argument doesnt seem to stand up and the need for urgency wasnt there

3. You cannot (and this is aimed more at 1989) ignore the price tag - 1989 went into a sexual frenzy earlier this summer at the prospect of signing aurier (sp ? ) and only a few days ago he signed for psg for half the money we are buying chambers for How does that represent value ? I have zero problems in over-paying for players IF the players are proven quality but signing a kid with less than 2 dozen starts for 16m seems excessive to me

to larify JD is on hamburgs website to and his homepage shows him in their shirt but twitter and instagram say nothing.
