The Summer 2014 TRANSFER THREAD

[UlsterGooner]

Some sick rumours on twitter that we are close to signing Nikola Zigic...

[Rosicky's Right Boot]

Feel ill at those Ornstein tweets.

Feel ill at those Ornstein tweets.

Don't look at tweets, what is he saying

[Robin_L]

Just heard from a mate who is part of the team that looks after the legal side of the contracts at Birmingham. They're still dealing with Zigic' contract even after expiry because he's still owed some final appearance bonus money. Zigic' team has just informed them that Zigic has accepted an offer in the last 48 hours from and is about to sign a deal with a London-based club in the Premier League.

So looks pretty certain we're in for Zigic.

He'd better be going to the spudscum or I'm gonna lose it.

Please be Ziggy Marley, not Zigic. PUH-LEASE!

This is a joke, right?
No, seriously, please tell me this is a fucking joke.

This paragraph really pissed me off the most.

''Zigic scored 36 times in 148 matches for Birmingham, but has endured a difficult time at the club, having survived several attempts to release him – while former boss Lee Clark described one of his training performances ‘as one of the worst of all time’.''

Zigic is just smoke and mirrors. We'll unveil Cavani on the 31st for a fee of £89m and the internet will melt.

Or, Remy will turn up in a Mini and sign for £12.68, carrying his knee in an bag of ice.

I never thought it possible but I am hating wenker more and more each day I thought that we were clutching at straws in the latter hours of last january's transfer window but it is nothing to the shit we are in now Welbeck ? Dont make me laff - playing against a league 1 side last night was a perfect illustration of the type of footballer he is....ran around looking lively for the first 10 minutes but ultimately produced fcuk all and despite the fact that he is an international footballer ( ), he couldnt score against a team 2 divisions below them You have to wonder if it is an english thing with smudger....I fail to see any other reason why the guy would recommend welbeck to his former club unless it is a joke

In some ways this has been the worst transfer window in recent seasons - he spent big money on a star signing and also purchased to adequate signings to replace those who left, and it was enough to gain the support of some of the fickle fans who had turned against him (and I'm not saying that to have a pop at those fans). We all knew that we were 2 quality signings away from having an excellent squad (although le cocks tactics would still have derailed us) but then the transfer purchases stopped and we actually lost an experienced centre back as well. Now with girouds injury so late in the window le cock is left with three options - (1) he plays one of our existing players in girouds position (2) he buys a cheap/shite striker like welbeck (3) he spends big money on a quality striker. We all know that options one and two will consign us to more failure whilst option 3 is not gonna happen Even if he bucked his trend and spent big on a cavani quality signing, it would be at the expense of the equally vital signing of a DM

Right now I am expecting le cock to make 2 more signings whether they be on loan or full time signings - one will be a mid range striker (welbeck level) and the other will be a back up centre back (winston reid level) As someone who has begged for a quality powerful DM for the past 6 or 7 seasons now, this will break my heart The sensible option (in my opinion) would be to buy carvalho and a back up centre back and then change to two up top so that he can utilise the striking options we already have - it would be a pipedream to sign a striker (even on loan) of the quality of a falcao, but the reality is that if we buy a striker then welbeck or kalou will be the guy and for me that will be a massive step backwards

Sadly everything you say about wenger is true and is yet more repitition of what he does and does not do.


Last season saw the departure of rednose - and manure going into meltdown, also the return of the special *word censored* also we saw man$hitty coming to terms with a new manager - It was an ideal opportunity had then bought the required players for us to tonk everyone everyone and Win the Prem - instead cheapskate wenger did his usual - and we blew what was a Golden opportunity.

Aand so now with manure yet again in meltdown - both man$hit and chavscum have strengthened in ALL the required areas - and guess what - Wenge rhas NOT - Now there's a surpise...also the victims - having lost the cannibal - have bought some decent players - the manager knowing full well he couldn't replace their star player from last season - and will also be challenging for the VT (4th) trophy....we already have players injured and what is the Fool that is Wenger doing...twiddling his thumbs and sitting on what is repoirted to be £100million..

I can think of No Reason to keep him on as our Manager - he is Inept and long passed his sell by date.

Like many on here I just feel totally at a loss about what else to do - but begin to loathe him.

You've both written exactly how I feel today. Despair,disappointment has become slowly burning hate.
I am losing even the tiniest button respect I used to have for the man. I can't even f**king stand the sight of him. His touch line bo**ocks just embarrasses the crap out of me. I wish he'd leave and take his apologist AKB luvvies with him.

I would be quite impressed if we managed to capture Zigic, he did a decent job for Birmingham in the Championship last year. I remember a goal he scored in the clash against Barnsley that was particularly well taken.

[remigardeshair]

I for one was embarassed to see Arsenal bottom of the 'height' premier league table (compared to the unmitigated joy of being winners of the 'top of the league for the most number of days' award)

Zigic will go along way to address this.

Sign Crouch, Jaws the James Bond villain and Chewbacca and it represents a good window imo.

[Arsenal Till I Die]

Zigic is shit

Well, I know which one I believe will happen.





Cavani is on his faaaaacking way isn't he?!


Oh, look - a pig just flew by my window.

[officepest]

I have it on absolutely no authority whatsover that Real Madrid have decided that James Rodriguez is "Absolute tripe" and will let him move to Arsenal for free.
