De Jong is much more limited than players like Javi Martinez but he does what he does very well and would be a massive improvement on the Sheepshead. It would mean a slightly different role for Arteta but, with Jack and Rosicky, would give AW options should he wish to vary his midfield style (don't laugh).
I aint disagreeing with much of that except the hope that sitting on citeeh's bench for so long might make playing regularly more important to do jong than massive wages - I mean lets be honest, who will be able to match what citeeh offer ?
As for javi martinez, anybody who has been a regular on here over the past 12 months will confirm that javi martinez is a player I would love to see join us - when you have players like wilshire and arteta to play in midfield pushing them further forward would prove no problem to them
Also Kagawa hasn't signed for the mancs yet. It's 50/50 between them and us according to the Japanese press. They've even said we have an advantage due to Wenger's Japan ties and the fact he speaks their language fluently.

That's only fair to Rennes. Regardless if he's going to us, Inter or staying. It sounds like he's leaving so he wouldn't announce anything until after the seasons closed.

Saw that on Twitter. There's a video on youtube somewhere too. Aparently he was asked about his future and some of the players said to ask Arsene Wenger.
