There's not much point looking on there for Arsenal signings but it may make you chuckle over the course of the day - Here's the first....

From Simon, via text on 81111: "I work for Clarks and have just been requested to send some size 10 shoes to our shop in Liverpool. As I'm sure you know, David Villa is a size 10 so I believe he will sign for Liverpool today

606 board, is this ****?

Just got the latest on Arsenal from my mate who claims he has a 'top source' within the club.

News is that Wenger is trying to do a deal with Sporting Lisbon for Miguel Veloso (Megson will probably tell you its a waste of time) for 8m with Carlos Vela going the other direction for a season long loan. Also Arsenal have an informal agreement with Marouane Chamakh to join them in January - Bordeaux to be paid 1.5m.

"Talking of footballers' approach to deadline day, former Derby and Wolves striker Dean Sturridge tells of his routine - which consisted of him pressing his suit and hanging it in the back of his car in readiness should he get a late call about a move and need to appear presentable. Do let us know if you spot a footballer with a three-piece dangling in the car window won't you? Only don't text and drive, now, it's illegal and could lead to you sending your latest transfer gossip to the mother-in-law by mistake. No-one wants that."

From bbc:

1007: Magnificent. My favourite rumour of the day by a mile: Arsenal are linked in some quarters with a move for AC Milan's fearsome midfield general Gennaro Gattuso. Does the fact that his wife's Scottish make the move more likely?

wouldnt that move ''kill'' Song? I think he would be a fucking great signing!

Gattuso is 31 so wouldn't "kill" Song, in so much as he might hold him up for a year or so. Besides, in games like Man U, Chelsea etc, Song and Gattuso would really strengthen the midfield if played together. An excellent signing, if it were to happen

1054: American midfielder Freddy Adu is moving from Benfica to smaller Portuguese rival Belenenses. Oh how the (predicted to be) mighty have fallen. Meanwhile, I've just heard a rumour that Liverpool's Andriy Voronin is moving to Arsenal. That's a corker.
