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.

And so does this further quote:
"We knew we had to buy [at this point] last season. We had lost Wilshere and Gibbs. We had just beaten Udinese in the Champions League but had just lost to Manchester United. This season is completely different. We have a good, stable, focused squad. We just have to show how good we are in the season. "We have Diaby and Oxlade-Chamberlain back now while Rosicky and Wilshere are coming back. They are all international-stature players. I focus highly on that. If we get these players back in good shape then we have a very, very strong squad."
You're unbelievable rigsby the other day when he was signing for us and i suggested we were developing him you said "he is already developed" now he's joining the victims he's back to being developed again
Why do you take what I say out of context? I said for the PRICE they are demanding its not worth it. I was all up for the loan deal, even if it was for a year. But the price we would have to pay for just a year with Not even a sniff of option for signing him isn't worth it.

For the love of God will people get a grip.
He's going to the victims on a season long loan at the same pay he's on at madrid (120k) a week.
Now can some please feckn tell me when was the last time we took a player on loan only to develop him and him back to their parent club?

Developing a player is developing a player isnt it? Regardless of the price
1) We don't have a proper world class holding midfielder (pre/post Song).
2) We have a rich owner yet penny pinch over everything (in any other business a great thing but in football if your not going forward your going backwards)
3) A manager who appears to be to stubborn to evolve like the rest of football has.
4) A club that no longer sees us as fans, just customers.
5) People who pointlessly keep harping on about locking this thread (it's about rumours, i'm interested to see who we are linked with and other fans views on them, but have been through enough disappointment to realise 99.9% are false, if you don't like it or can't cope then don't read, if you can't not read this thread then clearly a part of you is interested, so don't be so hypocritical)!
Current opinions:
Sahin - would love but not vital, just immensely disappointed given how close we came.
M'Vila/Martinez/Tiote/De Jong - vital
Navas - don't see the point
Left Back - need
Back up Centre Back/right back/goalkeeper - need
Very well.put choppe- I don't understand why people clearly read a thread regularlyonly to comment how rubbish it is - if you don't like it don't read it
I noted that Anita who the barcodes signed was highly rated and can play DM/LB/RB, not seen him but sounds like potentially could have been very good for us at the right price.

I reckon his name will crop up again in January, on this very thread.
I have a feeling this thread won't last even a minute after the deadline passes, mate
In fact, I reckon the forum could crash will all the mods trying to lock the thread down at the same time!
Don't you spoil my party....this thread is mine to kill.......I won't be happy with all the abuse I have given McDowell for some other MOD to lock it....one will be very cross....it's my mission
Perhaps we should be more adult about the closing of this thread Sammy?
Perhaps take a vote on it from the contributors. >snigger<
Every forum should have a winning sticky thread placed on the board, after all.

I reckon Flash hates it as much as you, Sammy. Perhaps you could lock it simultaneously? on second thoughts, that might confuse the system and make the thread unlockable forever more!!
