I though he was doing well there. He has 9 goals in 8 league starts for PSG. That's better than Zlatan, who has five league goals.GranadaJoe wrote:I know Cavani is left field, but it was being reported that he was looking for a move because he's behind Zlatan Ibrxxxx.Red Gunner wrote:When it comes to transfers, people say some bizarre things on this forumg88ner wrote:Have I missed something?GranadaJoe wrote:I'd love us to buy a superstar striker, but I'd settle for a good loan.

If Cavani does want to leave PSG, I think it'll be a permanent move not a loan one.
If we make a massive bid for Diego Costa, we'll get him. We're a bigger club than Atletico.GranadaJoe wrote:I'd be very surprised if Costa was available, or interested. He's just got into the Spanish squad and Atletico are a big club and doing brilliantly.
I like to dream though.
Is he worth it though? I don't know.

Thomas Vermaelen vows to stay and fight for Arsenal future
Thomas Vermaelen has said he still has a future at Arsenal despite his appearance in the 1-0 defeat at Manchester United being the captain's first league start of the campaign.
The defender has slipped behind the preferred pairing of Per Mertesacker and Laurent Koscielny but, with the former unable to play due to illness, Vermaelen was chosen for what was only his sixth appearance of the season. Although his place in the Belgium squad for the World Cup finals in Brazil has been assured by the coach, Marc Wilmots, Vermaelen still wants as much game-time as possible.
"I'm still confident I can play for this club," he said. "I keep reading stories that I want to leave. But that's not the case. I'm still focused on the team. I am always positive. In any case it is not about my situation. It's what the team do and I am really happy that we're top of the league."
Of his late inclusion Vermaelen added: "It wasn't hard. I go into every game ready to play. I always make sure I'm mentally ready and physically ready to play, so it wasn't difficult. I knew it could happen at any moment so I'm always ready. I've been saying it for weeks and months and all of a sudden it happened."

Re: January transfer rumours thread
Having been totally gutted on Sunday I could only think of the bad things, but in hindsight TV did pretty well and his performance may be a silver lining to a very dark cloud.
Re: January transfer rumours thread

Ah, we're linked with Benzema again. The transfer window must have arrived!

We are blessed to have Mertesacker, Koscielny and Vermaelen as our CB options.

The number of people even on this forum who have put something along the lines of "Wenger knows where we need to strengthen, he won't ignore it".Dan_85 wrote:
