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.

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

With the huge warchest are we really going top dollar for some seasoned premiership players, or more prospects?

They had agreed on a fixed price on the buy-back clause, believed to be between £20m-£25m, so this is basically half of the price :D

Fair play to whoever negotiated that. Stroke of genius.

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?
:D

I couldn't have put it better myself Dan......an honourable mention to Toulouse though where our new Ivorian 'super quality' right back will be joining from when Sagna goes to PSG or Inter

Does anyone else have the feeling that Wenger will be sitting and watching developments at with monkeyboy and jaws and thinking "fuck I won't need to buy any fucker to finish top 4 next season"

Only 99% of the people on here Sid that's all

ONE ARSENE WENGER........THERE'S ONLY ONE ARSENE WENGER

I shall be reminding those who have been telling me that this Summer 'will definitely be the one where he spends big'

"What would you do if a wealthy owner gave you £100m to spend"
"Give it back to him"

I bet Wenger's local Primark is the best selling branch in the world - walk past the designer outlets stocking goods from Southern Europe and buy some cheaply made shit from Africa instead
