Sky Sports understands Arsenal and Liverpool have both made enquiries for Loic Remy and that Queens Park Rangers will not stand in the striker's way of a summer move.

The defenders must be shaking in their boots upon hearing the possibility of us signing remy

This is what is so wrong with those oil/oligarch rich clubs. They f**k up the market. On what planet is David Luiz worth 40million pounds. Now the Chavs have money to buy Costa with change left over and PSG will probably get the money for Luiz by selling all that surplus talent they amassed.

In a sane world there is no way the Chavs make a profit on David Luiz. Can see Pastore/Lavezzi/Moura being transfer listed.
i never thought Luiz was all that - i was shocked to see his age. he plays like an older, slower player.

& what about city - just paid 2.4million for a 14 year old FFS. 14....

The repercussions of this deal are going to be felt all transfer window long. Benatia,Mangala,and any other top flight defenders moving this summer are going to command unrealistic prices.

Then what price a good midfielder and let's not even get into 20+ goals a season striker. Wreckless f**king spending...Football like Pop will eat itself one day.

I'm sure 1989 will be leading the charge when it comes to our numerous 'near misses' on those big-money transfers :barscarf: But on a less exciting note who do people think would make good additions to the squad at the back? We will obviously need a keeper, a right-back and at least one centre-half.

GK - Realistically Wenger has chosen Szczesny as #1 (and was repaid this year with a great season) so we're looking for a number 2. We've fucked around for too long with shit keepers, you can get a decent back-up for less than £5m. Ruddy would be good but given he's 27 and involved with England I think he'll have an offer to be first-choice at a decent PL side which he'd prefer. If so just look for an experienced, solid (if unspectacular) keeper in the Schwarzer/Friedel mould. They're cheap as chips even if they'd need replacing in 2 years.

RB - With Wenger's fascination with Ligue 1 players and his love of shopping in the £5-10m bracket Aurier is the likely choice. Personally I'd love Coleman - he'll take £15-18m to prise away but he has grown defensively and for all the media wankfest over full-backs with pace but little else to offer (Walker, Shaw etc) Coleman is actually a real threat. Obviously a fair amount to spent on a full-back but if he nails down that position for the best part of a decade it's a great investment.

CB - Nobody springs to mind straight away, just players I DON'T want to see. Primarily that fat jack carthorse Ashley Williams or Rio Ferdinand.

LB - I can't see Wenger bombing out Monreal so this is a hypothetical really but he is a walking disaster and a coward to boot and I'd love to see him go. Seems to be scared of his own fucking shadow. Personally I think Neil Taylor from Swansea would be a great option. I've always been impressed whenever I've seen him - not a top player but very diligent at both ends of the pitch. He was extremely unfortunate to get that nasty injury and lost his place to Ben Davies but I really do rate him. I'm sure coming to try and put Gibbs under pressure at Arsenal (and in any event playing for half the season due to Gibbs' fibreglass structure) is far more attractive than sitting watching a 21-year old playing ahead of him every week. The fact he's only 24, adds to the British core and would also be available cheap are a bonus.

How very unpatriotic of you,that fat cart horse is your national team captain, but I'm with you,rather get a young improving defender like the kid at Fulham(his name escapes me),Hangeland or even Huth. I'd stop TV from leaving and get a back up for the BFG.

Williams is one of those live broadcast defenders,usually average but puts on a JT type show now and then.

Yep he's a massive Hollywood defender. People love seeing last-ditch blocks etc but the reality is if he wasn't so slow and didn't get caught out so often he wouldn't need to be diving in like that.

And like half of the Wales squad he is tenuously 'Welsh' given he was born in the Black Country and didn't move to Wales until his mid-20s (although he obviously has some family heritage).

Surprised Chamakh was let go as he did a lot for them in the run in, wages must be too high. I hope to God we are getting Speroni but I can honestly see a serie A club offering him big bucks .

Lescott and Speroni would both be good additions but I imagine both will have better offers in terms of find a slightly lesser club where they will be regular starters.
