SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

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.

Mate, Pisczek is not going anywhere because he will have an medical operation (on his hip) and he will be at least out for six month!

Cheers,

Cheers for the info Thomas.

I'm thinking if we offer him £60k p/w whilst he is injured we might secure him on a £80k p/w deal thereafter?

Yes, would make perfect Wenger sense to try to sign a bloke who's injured to get him at a knockdown price. Fear not though, if we were to sign him (which we won't) our medical staff would have him fit in less than the 6 months originally thought

Nice bit of tapping up there on Asmir Begovic by Phil Tufnell on Question of Sport just then

Cesc has waited far too long for the move to Barcawhores to not want to give it at least one more year.

No offence but Barca may have lost heavily to Bayern but they are still streets ahead of Manure. Iy would be a step down especially with no Fergie factor anymore at Old Crappford
He himself is a big barcawhore. It won't be for anything less than 50mil. We get to count 25mil of that.

He's not worth anywhere near 50mil - with Neymar coming in i reckon they'd sell him for 25-30mil and Song for 4m just to get some coin in the coffers.

Manchester United and Manchester City are also competing to bring former Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas, 26, back to the Premier League next season.

Full story: Daily Mail

Arsenal could make an approach for unsettled Liverpool defender Martin Skrtel, 28, in the summer.

Full story: Daily Express


I presume the season tickets have all been renewed now? There can be no other explanation for why Cavani, Jovetic and Villa are no longer joining but Liverpool cast-offs apply within. Perhaps we can persuade Carragher to postpone his retirement and come and do a Silvestre for us

Meanwhile it'll be nice watching another one of our former captains prove our feeder club model works very well........if you're Man City or Man Ure

Surprised that Cesc hasn't been linked with a move to Bayern, to link up again with Pep, seeing as he was such an influencial part of him leaving us to go and join Barca.

Think Cesc will stay at Barca for at least the coming season, to try and establish himself (he ain't exactly done too bad already) after that who knows..

I dont necessarily think that the decision whether to keep/sell him will come down to performances - they have just busted the bank to sign neymar and will without doubt buy a defender so they will need to recoup money from sales and cesc and david villa will be expendable to them imo. Would love to see both sign for us but it is more likely that we would sign cunty song :roll:

Barcelona still owe us money as we all know and it would not surprise me one jot if their gesture was to flog us back that useless *word censored* for a discounted fee. One of the few recent good deals Wenger did was selling that prick for a decent fee.....to even think he would come back, waddling around at a snail's pace giving away endless free-kicks would be too much to bear.....whilst Fabregas went to OT and Villa (please god no) went to Spurs

Good job we finished in the 'be all and end all' 4th place because as we know we'll sign all the world's top stars whilst Spurs and Liverpool will sign all the second raters like Vertonghen and Suarez

Arsenal eye move for Carlton Cole after West Ham give Gunners first option on hitman.

Carlton Cole could be set for a move across London this summer, after it was reported that Arsenal were given first option to buy the England international.

Arsene Wenger is keen to boost his attacking options, with Bordeaux marksman Marouane Chamakh, who is out of contract at the end of the season, thought to be the Frenchman's prime target.

Wait, so we can either spend money to bring Cesc back or receive money if he signs for Utd? It's a no brainer for modern day Arsenal surely?! :roll: :banghead:

Oh, and I see Chelsea have all but completed the signing of Schurrle, one of the best players in the Bundesliga. Don't they know they could have saved themselves from "dizzying prices" by raiding Ajaccio or Sochaux?

I just read we could get 50% of the transfer fee if cesc joins another club is that true?
