Arsenal will have to pay a loan fee of £1.7m for Real Madrid striker Alvaro Morata, 21, although they would also spend big if the right target became available. Bayern Munich's Mario Mandzukic, 27, Atletico Madrid's Diego Costa, 25, Porto's Jackson Martinez, 27, Manchester City's Edin Dzeko, 27, and Manchester United's Wayne Rooney, 28, are among the club's preferred options.

Full story: Daily Mail


The good old Daily Mail - they went to the trouble of listing no less than six strikers who aren't coming

So.......Barry Bender comes back 'early' from injury (this never happens at Arsenal normally), around the 22nd Jan with Wonga telling us all we don't need to sign anyone as he will be 'fitter than ever'. He plays 20 mins in his first game back and by Feb 1st, Barry Bender will have aggrievated the injury by coming back too soon and will be out for three months leaving us fucked, like Rooney's favourite granny.

Manage a football club? Wonga can't even manage to pull a zip up properly!! :banghead: :banghead:

I couldn't give a flying fuck if Bendtner came back to full fitness tomorrow weighing 11st - the fact is he's fucking awful......amazing how now we'll be hearing about Bendtner changing how we decide to operate in the transfer market. Six months ago There's Only One couldn't wait to farm him out to whoever would be prepared to pay his ridiculous wages.....oh yeah, nobody did. Now he's the fucking saviour - our 'internal solution' to save us from dizzying prices

It's like Bizarro world, they diagnose a quality player to be out for a month and he's not seen again for a year but they diagnose Barry Bender to be out for a month and he's back training the following morning. Fooking hell :banghead:
