Only another 40 days until official confirmation...

Agreed. I never believe these things until they're done, or some sort of offical source has been found i.e. when Chamakh finally started talking about us towards the end of the season. Although, the persistance of these stories suggests there's something to it - same with the Schwarzer story, too!I Hate Hleb wrote:I wouldn't get too excited until you see official confirmation. None of these stories seem to have a proper source from either Cole or Arsenal so perhaps we should treat them as speculation and nothing else.
It would be desperation and an admittance of failure in the Wenger Project. This keeping situation has been a fiasco since the moment Jens Lehmann was dropped. I'm sure Wenger thought that Fabianski would be no.1 by now.g88ner wrote:Agreed.

Regarding Schwarzer...
It seems an odd signing to me. Ok, he's 37 which if fine BUT if Wenger rated him so highly, why didn't he sign him ON A FREE when he left 'boro for Fulham 2 years ago???
- after all, he'd been in the premier league for years, so was hardly an unknown. That suggests to me that 2 years ago, Wenger thought Almunia was BETTER then Schwarzer... and that scares the shit out of me!![]()

Seems like desperation IF we sign him

Yep, a number 2 that lacks consistency.... maybe bran would help?marcengels wrote:g88ner wrote:marcengels wrote:Unfortunately, he is clearly a no.2

Yep, one of those messy ones that suggests you have tried to mix wine, beer and kebabs.![]()

My objection goonanana, is that right now we have 3 far far bigger priorities than buying another small light winger......we desperately need a quality keeper, a partner for TV5 and a big physical presence in midfield. People can say what a good signing it would be to get him on a free but as DB10 points out there is no such thing as a freebie cos his signing on fee and wages will be massive instead. I mean if he was to be paid 100k per week basic then that would accumulate just under 5m a season basic and not including his signing on fee and lest we all forget that money will be taken out of our transfer kitty. It is only my opinion but unless we have a 100m transfer kitty right now then personally I couldnt justify signing joe cole cos we have far bigger needs and too many similar types of players meaning he will not be bringing anything different (apart from nationality) to the table. Of course if we were to sell theo, rosicky and either nasri or arshavin then I would see it as a good signing but as things currently stand I am totally against it
