afc Arsenal Summer Transfer Window

[CarltonLeach]

You do know this means someone is going right?I think Oxlade will be a big big big hit but jesus f*ck*ng christ we need a defender!We got so many attacking players and yet we lack a striker.How many Nasri type players do we need?We need an Henry, Adams and VieiraWe've bought/added a Walcott (Oxlade), Gavin Hoyte (Jenkinson), Quincy Abieye (Ryo), Ljungberg (Gervinho)

Can't fault the kid, Sounds like a confident chap, He has my full support. Let's hope he doesn't turn out to be another Wally.

Good signing by the looks of it, irrespective of what we need right now. Young kid with bags of potential and will hopefully find it easy to settle in this season.Would love him to outplay Theo :lol:What are the chances we will start next week with both Cesc and Nasri in our team?

[TF S4DK]

Some would say he is already a better "player" than Walcott...0% in our team, 100% in our squad IMO.Smh.However if Nasri plays for France, it might put Wenger in a tricky situation as I'm not totally convinced he is injured.

loljust lolf*ck IT, seasons nearly here,not even gonna rant, i'm done/in other newsMertesacker talks again

The 26-year-old’s contract with the Bundesliga side expires at the end of the 2011-12 season but the club’s sporting director Klaus Allofs has admitted that they would be prepared to sell the towering defender should any serious offers arrive.The Germany international said last month that he was tempted to test himself in the Premier League and made similar remarks on Monday."For a national player it is a good thing to get experience playing abroad," Mertesacker told Bild. "I have said that England excites me."Mertesacker started in Werder’s 2-0 victory over Kaiserslautern in their opening match of the new Bundesliga season at the weekend.

He said he has "never really been a mad fan of anyone, but Arsenal is one of the teams he has always followed and loved watching"

Danish forward Nicklas Bendtner has confirmed that he will leave Arsenal.A move out of the Emirates Stadium has been mooted for the 23-year-old striker, who was hampered by injury for most of last season.Speaking before the Denmark squad trained in Glasgow ahead of Wednesday's friendly against Scotland, Bendtner was asked if he was set to leave the London club."Yes," he replied. "I have done my part as well as I can, and it's up to Arsenal now to sort it out. I can't do anything more."Hopefully it will be sorted soon but, as I said to the Danish press, when I know something, they will."I would like to play at a place where you are happy and play every week, that is the most important thing for any football player. Hopefully that will happen soon."Asked if Stoke were one of the teams he has spoken to, Bendtner laughed , then replied: "I can't say anything about who I have been speaking to. But hopefully it will all get sorted out soon."Denmark coach Morten Olsen believes Bendtner needs to get regular first-team football."It is good for him if he plays first-team football," said Olsen. "You don't play football for 50 years - you have to enjoy it as long as possible."Of course, it is also a money question, but a national player has a lot of ambition and wants to play football."Nicklas has been injured for a year, but he can be a good player again."
