BetSteveO - the bookies who tell you first who isn't coming - have now shortened their odds on Kalou joining Arsenal to 1/10

BetBaba have closed their book......and that is a FACT

Let's all kiss goodbye to the hopes of winning any silverware this season unless of course a miracle happens in the next 10 hrs.

So let's get this straight. You only sign a player who improves the squad? Yep I think we're all agreed with him on that on that one. So we're to believe that there is nobody out there who can improve our forward line??

Man City? OK it's Monopoly money to them but even though they're clearly the best team in the country, they still think it's better to strengthen now to make sure of silverware but our 30 years in football manager thinks we're strong enough up top?

Medication time...........

Not only that mate, but we work 'day and night' scouting 'every single player in the world'.......so just turn that into a positive. Surely if we've done that it can only mean the treble is on......nobody available in the whole of world football to improve us. Wow - the rest of the world is quaking

This site crashes on iPad iOS 7 all the time, but then so do most websites....

Media starting to criticise Wenger? This one's pretty accurate http://bleacherreport.com/articles/1942 ... the-market

The difference with us is our targets have to be 'available' to the point of being surplus to requirements by their current club.
We rarely (if at all) hustle players, I don't mean tap up, just make an offer out of the blue.
The only exception was Suarez when we made a derisory offer, followed by an insulting one.
The other big clubs have a long history of unsettling players, players they indentify, target, and eventually get them.
What we need to do is flex our muscles, make a decent bid for Lallana, see what happens. He has not a prayer of winning anything a St Mary's, so lets test the water. Saying that, it should have been done 2 or 3 weeks ago, now Saints will just tough it out.

Wenger: "The Draxler situation has been created by the newspapers, not by me. He will stay at Schalke"
Wenger: "We are still trying to bring one body in because of Ramsey's setback and Flamini's suspension"
