The Summer 2014 TRANSFER THREAD

thats been one of our weaknesses - not enough service for Giroud in the air.

Jenko, as much as i like the guy doesn't seem much of a crosser either.

I am going take a guess here that they don't practice crossing :banghead:
When Jenko inherits the No. 2 shirt you'll be taking back your statement that he can't cross.

He's crossing is quality and I KNOW HE'LL MAKE IT AT ARSENAL. :barscarf:
I don't understand why some people think his crossing is quality. What is this based on, him crossing the ball in for Bendtners goal against Hull? Lets be realistic, we need to go out and buy a proper RB, not wait for a player with limited potential to develop.
8/10 whenever I've seen Jenko put a ball into the box whether its low or lofted its in the danger zone.

Last year when Sagna broke his leg twice he was amazing in the league and put in a MOTM performace against Bayern at the Allianz IMHO

Barcelona hope to beat Arsenal in the race to sign Bayern Munich's Javi Martinez by bidding more than £30m for the 25-year-old Spanish defender, who can also play in a defensive midfield role.

Full story: Daily Mail

Martinez isn't coming

We'll be "very close" and Wenger will reveal that to the press 3 years later when he's won several more medals elsewhere !

What you really need to say is 'Can you see Wonga spending 15-20m on a BRITISH right back!!??

I'm sure he would be willing to pay that much for a Frenchman.........

Liverpool manager Brendan Rodgers is drawing up a multi-million shopping list for the summer, including Southampton playmaker Adam Lallana, 25, and Barcelona's former Reds midfielder Javier Mascherano, 29. Torino winger Alessio Cerci, 26, and Swansea defender Ashley Williams, 29 are also targets.

Full story: Caught Offside

I hope someone has told Rodgers not to expect any deals before the World Cup and that things will be very quiet

Ashley Williams will make their shit defense even worse. Him playing alongside Johnson, who thinks he's Cruyff? Brilliant.

Haven't had a good vent about what a carthorse Ashley Williams is in a while. He is basically like Kolo is now - overweight and rash.
