Relax and have a brew gooners.

A great LB in the bag is a good days work. Anything on top is a bonus when it comes to The Arsenal.

Just type in David Villa?

I would rather see a good central defender than a forward coming. We are leaking goals.

Twitter is going mad with Villa to Arsenal tweets but it's just the usual noise. Here's what I've seen in the past 20mins for those who don't have Twitter or don't want to bother checking:

• He is travelling to London to undergo a medical
• Barcelona have accepted a £15.5m fee
• Barcelona have agreed to a £18m fee
• Arsenal had a £12.5m and City a £17m fee rejected today
• There is a fake photo of Villa walking into the Etihad which is spreading

That's what I've seen mentioned at least 30-40 times each, literally. All noise, people guessing.

Ed Winchester

Yeah but nothing at all from anybody reputable.

agree 100%. I was hoping something would develop with Amorebiata. It's about time we had a hard man.

This. I follow a few of the big Arsenal twitter people and some Journos. Nothing on Villa all day

UnknownSpecies

Like I said, it's just bad information being spread. Here's the fake photo of Villa walking into the Etihad. Some people will do anything for a few retweets!

I agree, an injury or suspension to Mert, Kos or Verm and we're a step closer to having to play Seb Squillaci....

Just saw this on twitter:

John (@Punk_Life75) tweeted at 8:39am - 1 Feb 13:

So Beckham's giving all his wages to a French Children's charity, that'll be Arsenal then

Gringo180

Is this deal done and dusted for Monreal?? Is he eligible for the Champions Lge?

keano_afc

Sure thats nothing. 20 years ago Paul Merson was giving all his Arsenal salary to William Hill.

That ex Palace chairman on SSN is actually making some decent points. Amazing.

NACHO!!!!!!!!!!

andrew241983

Looks like Nacho is the only player coming in.. Not even a whisper of anything else happening but will still watch till 11 just in case

Ed Winchester

Half an hour to go, still nothing official about Nacho.

Hurry up Arsenal!

tayto lover

Not fcuking signed yet.
We didn't play in the first half tonight either.
Why always us?

Gringo180

Few mates that are mad into La Liga reckon this lad is the 2nd best full back in Spain behind Alba and that he had a 20 million release clause in his contract but due to there financial problems theyve had to sell for a considerable amount cheaper than there valuation.

With all the payers out on loan, were on injury and suspension away from squallici
No recognised striker apart from giroud

Think there saving all the money for the new manager

Fuzzy_Dunlop

I'd take a top quality left back over Chamakh and Djourou to be honest. Don't like having Squilliachi near the team though.

tayto lover

The Spuds fans have no manners.
Better class of fans at the Arsenal.

Who'd we have a month ago that we didn't have now?
Gervinho?

Podolski isn't a recognised striker now?

lol its crazy alright, one of the craziest statements I've seen on here!

And lads what is with every second post lamenting that we are only one injury away from Squillachi playing have ye seen the other three lately?? It would be like for like on current form.

Monreal: 60k a week please.
Wenger: Would you settle for two packets of digestive biscuits and £10?

He played gervinho up front before he put podolski up there so no he is def not a recognised striker

So, Gooners complain about dead weight clogging up our wage bill, then complain about Wenger shipping them out to free up wages to bring in a player of proven quality?
Sometimes I think some fans want us to fail.

That's actually a fair enough point. Maybe, it's just my memory being bad, but was he ever as bad as the 3 stooges show we saw yesterday?

Fuzzy_Dunlop

Also a good thing that Spurs don't look to be doing anything.

emergingstar wrote: »

Because Chamakh and Djourou never played anyway and now we have potentially a new first choice left back (fingers crossed)

Ya can't shift out players and not
replace, we shipped out a CB and Striker for a LB it's just stupid

wonga77

weaker in numbers, yes.
weaker in talent, questionable.

Two crap benchwarmers out - one quality player who will walk into the starting 11 in. Sounds like an improvement to me.
