Whats happening with Cahill and Samba? Still talk of them coming I seen. Bring all 3 in and play Vermaelen DM.
Where is this "marquee signing" that was talked about?
Where is the sign of midfielders?

Maybe shouldn't say too much just yet but if we sign Mertesacker it will be the most excited I have been about a signing since.....Reyes probably?

It'll be the first genuinely quality experienced players we've signed in years that's for sure.

Canal+ Have announced the signing of Mertesacker is complete, saying he flew over this morning for a medical and it's now been done and passed, fee and personal terms all agreed.

i still think we should find a way to create clones of our players.
i'd play us like this:
.....................szcesny................................
sagna - vermaelen - vermaelen - vermaelen
....................vermaelen.............................
...............wilshere - wilshere.....................
...van persie.........................van persie......
.....................van persie.............................

AT LAST A DECENT DEFENDER.

I think its one of either or from Samba and Cahill.
Still a defence of Verm/Mertz, Cahill or Samba and Kos is an vast improvment.....3 year too late.
I think we've tried to have talks with Sneijder and some others so I think ( I hope) he's still on the look out.

You asked about any bid for Mario Götze.
I don´t think AW will make an official bid for him. I rate him as one of the biggest talents in world football, so Dortmund would never sell him, even for 40m.
augie was right
AFC made an official bid for Götze for 40m €, but it was rejected.

Have you noticed we are signing players who know how to look after themselves due to the area they are coming from?
Chu-Young from Korea, Santos who is coming to us from Turkey and Joe Cole from Liverpool!

If he was good why would he be sold so cheaply. In fact why sell him at all?
12 months left on contract and club have no money
Good news then for a moment i was worried....
