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.
"Arsenal have interest in Real Madrid's Sami Khedira, Lars Bender of Bayer Leverkusen and William Carvalho of Sporting Lisbon but Schneiderlin was considered the easier option and arguably better value at around £16m".
I have said that on numerous times on here lately and have been slated for doing so

No argument from me Augie - I happen to think he would be a great acquisition for us - a player that does his role very effectively for the good of the team....
You wouldn't be angling for an argument would you Augie??
And does anybody believe that he loves Pochettino so much he would turn down a chance to join us as first-choice DM (and therefore an important player) so that he can plug away being rotated with Sandro, Dembele, Capoue, Paulinho and even Bentaleb in a mid-table team?
We all acknowledge that some players join us on the basis of the wenker myth, so it is quite possible that a player would opt to work with a manager that he has enjoyed success with

Nastasic from Shitty is available at roughly the same price,don't know what his injury record is like but he knows the league and isn't that bad a choice. If we gave Real 15million for Varane that wouldn't be a bad deal. As a left field option,wonder if Villa would sell us Vlaar.
Think he's available for about £6million. But only if he brings along his alter ego World cup 2014 Vlaar.
Epl season 2013 /14 Vlaar can stay the hell at Villa.
Buy a striker,CM,CB and GK quick Arsene as I am sick of playing fantasy transfer window. Or at least come clean and say we are done buying because you're a tight fisted little byatch.

15M for Varane????
Is that you Arsene???
Hi Raphael, now you've established yourself as first choice at France how do you fancy leaving Madrid to sit on our bench behind Koscielny. Hello....?

Merty can go to bench.
I dont rate Merty that much TBH which is blasphemy on these boards.
In other news I find it quite strange that Mourinho has announced he is done with transfers.

Actually I was referring to him being a slug who only looks like a good defender because he forces us to play deep, thus giving the back 4 more protection than what Toure/Gallas got.

Another day.....another sexual fantasy for our resident ott reactionary
You've been moaning about us cutting costs for a potential DM. It doesn't get much better than Carvalho. He is even big and strong, which is what you want.
And as I said previously, I don't know fcuk all about him - I was only taking the piss at your sexual reaction comment
Btw that type of tackle (the gif in your other post) is EXACTLY what I'm talking about - I would much, much rather buy a defensive midfielder who relishes tackles like that, than to spunk away huge money on khedira who isn't your aggressive tackler type of player
