Why on earth would Benny and Di want to come to Arsenal :?

No No No! Mate the Beeb had a typo...We ARE trying to sign Benny and Di

That's Benny and Diana from Crossroads.

Image ... And if we do sign them they'll also throw in the ginger kid with the wheelchair - as a defensive mid-fielder. :shock: :mrgreen:
I take it you're referring to Sandy? Bit on the slight side but once we beef him up a bit he could do a job for us

ps Miss Diane always did it for me in the 70s :wink:

AGREE, I had a boyhood crush on this lady too. A leather clad Susie Quattro was another one but sadly that was a very long time ago when I was still optimistic about Arsenal winning something , anything.

Would be great signings but I had the exactly same question, especially for that amount of money :rubchin: ?!

Apparently Wenger in his post match interview last night also made a point of stating that 'we would not be signing Suarez'...which is a crafty way of then being able to say that the Transfer Window begins from 'now' and thus - being able to say we are trying to sign Benny & Diane. :roll: what a crafty fecker!

Wanger obviously doesn't play poker at all, saying you hold on to your cards.....like fuck you senile inept muppet!! If you have a good bank roll in poker you can bully your way into winning quite a few pots early on as everyone else is worried about you. But you blew that by dithering, just like you dither about everything you c.unt.

No chance Benzema is coming to us. Madrid play with 1 front man with Ronaldo in a free role. If they get rid of Benzema then they have no first choice strikers.

I suppose you could argue Ronaldo could go up top with Bale roaming if he goes. I don't see it though.

Not that i truely believe any of the rumours, but thought id just add to it!!

The money Real have to pay for Bale must be there already........

So maybe they will take our offer for Benzema and Di Maria and go get Suarez?? Full merry go round!!!

Does anyone really believe we are going to sign anyone from Real Madrid? Id expect seven 10 million signings, who will all have super quality :barscarf:

It might not take as much as £10m my friend

LATEST GOSSIP
Arsenal's search for midfield reinforcements may move on to Sporting Lisbon winger Diego Capel according to the Daily Express.

Liverpool reportedly had a £3m offer turned down for the 26-year-old earlier this summer, but the Portuguese club may be willing to do business at double that price.

In the context of needing a quality DM, a quality striker, julio cesar for the goals and maybe a few defenders, I would suggest that di maria would not be a phenomenal signing - we have far far more important issues than a winger which is probably why cuntbag will sign one :roll: :x
^^ THIS

He's always been fascinated by signing wide midfield players and its the one position where he'll sign more players despite the fact there's absolutely no need. It must be the single area of the field where we don't need reinforcements and yet here we are linked with Di Maria and Capel today.

Fuck me it has been obvious to the entire world since the day we flogged RvP that we need a striker. If we didn't sign another player then £50m for a top class striker is the one area that would make a significant difference. Moving on from there the priorities have been a deep lying midfielder and a centre half who can compete on the physical side of the English PL. Finally a decent fucking keeper to wake up Chesney.

But we haven't worked in football for 30 years so we don't see that what we really need is a winger without any PL experience...

According to BBC's David Ornstein:

"Arsenal working on deals for Real Madrid duo Benzema & Di Maria. Also pursuing GK & defender, could spend £100m."
