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.

I knew it.
Once did business with bloke called Sahin, German/Turkish Hip Hop promoter from Berlin who upped sticks to London to promote his record label.
Nice bloke, no idea what he is up to now though.

Let's hope he "Sahin" in an AFC shirt soon.
he's in a similar polo shirt like santi was...trying to find the link
I'd be happy to to organise a whip round on this one. Mind you, knowing our luck, he'd go to Sp*rs, rediscover some form and score a couple of headers against us.
Sounds like M'Villa to the filth is going to happen. Another holding midfielder in a team with Sandro,Parker that needs a Modric style player.
Sound a bit familiar
The Sahin/M'villa/Song/Modric roundabout is absolutely stupid. Not often you hear some sense on Glory-Glory but a poster there put it perfectly with this
"It really baffles me though. We sell Modric and let his perfect replacement in Sahin go to Arsenal, whereas they sell Song and let his perfect replacement M'Vila go to us!"
Both deals are bizarre. At least they're paying for the player. Why are we loaning a player RM/Moaninho fully intend to take back when Alonso buggers off somewhere else next season for a final lucrative contract. We are such cheap f*****s
Arsene Wenger has confirmed that he is still in the market for two more players before the transfer window closes on 31st August. With Alex Song's move to Barcelona sealed, it looks increasingly like Nuri Sahin will come in from Real Madrid, but the Arsenal manager intriguingly added that he was in the market for a defender too.
'We are looking to bring one more midfielder in of course, and maybe one defender as well because we still feel we are short in some positions,'
With five first team centre backs still on the books (though Squillaci is surely not longed for the club) and Miquel as a 5th choice centre half and two full backs on each side, it will be very interesting to see what and whom we look to add at the back.

Personally I think we're being shafted up the Arsenal on that deal. The get a young striker who could well thrive upfront on his own as a Zlatan-lite, whilst we get Mexes, in his 30s, no pace and prone to mistakes. Can you imagine having him and Mertsacke paired together
