The more the lack of signings continues the more i'm inclined to believe that we're in for Rooney. I feel they are waiting for him to have his talks with Moyes before making their move.

I would not be happy with Rooney at all.

Everyone chill.

Higuain will happen. We are in posturing mode at the moment.

We're short a centre back though, especially if these reports about Vermaelen beig injured are true. Would like a combative midfielder too.

Frimpong is injured again for anyone interested, said he's probably out for 3 weeks

I'm gonna try and catch the Vietnam game. Was hoping I'd have a picture with all the new signings to post, but as it stands I don't think I'll be going crazy chasing down Sanogo! Doubt I'll get near the players either way.

Will Sanogo even be there ? He's still in Turkey with the French U20s

Early days yet. No panic.

Can't wait for us to just get back to watching Arsenal matches again.

The transfer gossip is fcuking mind numbing drivel.

Its a pity because even if he could play on this Asian tour it would keep him in Wenger's mind and he'd have his stage to shine. I think he has enormous raw potential. Really think if he could stay fit he'd have cemented his place long by now

You think? I'm on the fence with the lad. Not too sure if he is positionaly aware enough from what he produced before

He is young though. The likes of Arteta might prove a calming influence on him in the middle

So, what's happening to our #4 shirt!

Fans being deterred from getting Mertesacker on the back, so looks like someone else will be wearing it this season!

Djourou only lasted 4 mins in his Hamburg debut, ACL injury, poor lad.

I like Frimpong myself he was arguably our best player against Liverpool a few years back up until he was red carded, gave us a bit of steel in the middle of the park. Only for a few serious injuries he would be a regular in our squad and maybe even our starting XI.

I genuinely feel bad for Djourou who like Diaby has been very unlucky in this regard. What happens now? Do Hamburg send him back to us?

Frimpong's career at Arsenal is over imo.

That injury could certainly be the final nail in the coffin. Then again Wenger done a u-turn on Flamster some years back.

With a back problem again I think. Wasn't it back problems that kept him out last season too? I don't think he is ever Goina come back to his best. Wonder will they take the captaincy off him this season? Can we have captain who doesn't make the team??

How is Sanogo currently getting on against Ghana in the u20 world cup?

GeorgeBailey

So far as I can make out from all the rumours so far is that we're getting Higuain, Fabregas and Felliani for the first team and then we're getting Suarez, Rooney and Barry to bolster our Carling Cup squad.

Could be better but it'll have to do I suppose.

Who, van Persie? Fàbregas has been gone since 2011, so you can't be talking about him.

I like our future midfielders -

Cazorla, Wilshere, Fabregas, Fellaini, Rooney, Arteta, Rosicky, Ramsey, Diaby, Chamberain and we might sign a few others as there's plenty of time left. :)

When are we getting Fabregas? I've heard a lot of rumours, but nothing concrete.

If you had to sleep a little longer im sure Messi would have inevitably followed

Are we actually in for any player at all? Have we any proof that we have bid for anyone?
We got Sonogo on a free and so far that's all we have.
Are we being fed the same old s*** we have been fed for years? Like in the Jan transfer window we were told we were in for replacements but then Gibbs was injured and we got Monrael. Then when we didn't buy Wenger came out with the story that there was no value around and that's why we didn't buy.
Is that going to happen again I wonder? My London friends are very sceptical about the whole transfer war-chest we are supposed to have and reckon Gazildes is a bluffer and only interested in profits like his American buddy, Kronke.

I myself think we will buy one good player and that's it. Maybe Rooney who I don't like.

I think we've at least inquired if not made bids for all the players we've been repeatedly linked to (Fellaini, Rooney, Higuain and even Suarez) but I'll be surprised at this stage if we sign more than one of those. I still think (hope) Higuain will happen but really can't see Saurez or Rooney coming. I think Fellaini could easily come if they stump up the cash too but at this stage I'm starting to wonder if all the talk about money was a load of hot air to keep the fans happy.

Perez has told Sky Sports that R. Madrid have NOT had any bid for Higuain from Arsenal. None. Why would he lie if there was a bid? Doesn't make sense.

Am i right in saying there will more than likely not be any signings during our tour of Asia, so will probably be waiting to hear something until its over? Or did we make signings last season during it, i cant remember? Podolski & Giroud were done before it last year, weren't they? and Cazorla after?

bad2dabone

That perez news is old news and gamesmanship from Madrid. If we don't make signings this summer I reckon the fans will really turn on wenger. I'm hopeful we'll have an announcement soon....

Fuzzy_Dunlop

We've bid for bender and suarez anyway by all accounts.

Who's to know what's really going on behind the scenes.

Looks like the Chelsea USA megastore was hacked

they are having a training camp in Japan & are away for nearly 3 weeks (Arteta comments on Arseblog) so I wouldn't be surprised if someone is signed during it and flies out to meet up with them

Uruguay only got through v Iraq on peno's :eek: In fairness Iraq must have a decent crop considering the country was fairly war torn in recent history

Fellaini could well prove to be this new number 4 thats rumoured.

What's our front 5 gonna be next season? Obviously it'll be Cesc, Higuain, Rooney and Cazorla but will it be Podolski or Walcott making up the numbers?

Ah come on, we have to leave one of them out so we can have either Arteta or Fellaini to provide a holding role.

Higuain

Guess we could leave one out against the bigger teams and play Koscielny? Ramsey, Gundogan and Jovetic will have to make do with a place on the bench.

I dunno, I don't think it'd be good for Chesney's confidence if he was dropped for Laurent.

Higuain??? it sounds as if we wont buy him anymore according to Real Madrid

Any new quotes on this or is it from few days ago?

Team fly out today and not one quality signing made, plus santi is still on his holiday so expect to see him late back, please arsenal do something.

batistuta9

Wonder when the first press conference is out there?
They'll be some sort of info from Wenger then

if he denies knowing the player or does the thing where he tries to play it down/be respectful to the other team but still can't stop himself smiling (if you watch the press confs. you'll know what i mean), you know there's something in it
