According to Marca Demichelis is on his way to City. A very quick 5 million for Atletico considering they signed him on a free in July!

Are Marca reliable?

G.K.

The Times reported that the other day too.

They've just bought a load of very good players while selling their world class one, expect 5th.

Yeah but 3 of those very good players performing in any given match should yield much higher rewards than having a single world class player performing

Probably the single most unreliable thing out there.

I realise they're short CB's at the moment, but really.. the best they can do is Demichelis?! :-/ Suppose it's because Pellegrini is familiar with him but nonetheless, quite underwhelming.

I really hope himself and Lugano get some serious game time for the lulz.

@RishiChico: Chadli
Paulinho
Capoue
Soldado
Lamela
Eriksen
Chiriches = approx £108m

Bale
Caulker
Dempsey
Huddlestone
Parker = approx £108m

money very well spent from Levy great to see him finally having a manager to believe in .baldinis role cannot be underestimated either..he is prob our signing of the season..

I see your Marca and raise you a Goal.com. Metro aren't too reliable either from my experience with the BBC paper talk reading.

Goal.com are brilliant! [Paraphrased] Transfer talk! Moyes to make last minute swoop for Bale.

Poor lad. Not even Messi can match Ronaldos off pitch style.

You're ignoring the fact that you will need three players to be on their game as opposed one.

Your own club had a similar situation last season. The previous year RVP won so many games for ye but last year ye replaced his goals with Giroud and Carzola, aswell as Walcott chipping in with a good amount. Just saying.

Gourcuff, Lacazette, Grenier and Gonalans are the ones clubs around Europe will look at.

The likes of Umtiti and Benzia should remain there for another year at least.

Interested to see what happens with Depay, Matavz and Zoet at PSV as well, would love the former at Liverpool. Arsenal should look at Zoet, far better than Woj!

GTR63

I read on Football Italia that Lazio are interested in Matavz if they don't get Yilmaz from Gala.

Big difference in quality there. I thought Spurs should have gone for Yilmaz earlier in the window, but they ended up with Soldado so it's all grand on that front.

arsenal practically stood still last season by doing that though.
3 more points but finished a position lower, same no. of wins but three more draws
exited all cup comps. at the same stage as the season before

scored 2 less goals in the league
cazorla, giroud & podolski got 34 goals between them in the league, 4 more than RVP the year before
the got 45 in total between them compared to RVP's 37

it has took the reliance away from one player which is a good thing overall for the team & perhaps was all you could expect from a first season at the club/league

I wouldn't be surprised if the same happened with tottenham, maybe a few points here or there
just saying :pac:

walcotts' excluded as he was there already & should be improving regardless

Don't see the sense in all the what ifs. Plain and simple, Spurs have a far stronger squad than they had last season even with Bale gone. Arsenal have a shockingly small squad, are picking up injuries every week and have yet to add anyone of note. Unless we go mad and add at least 3 very good signings, I'd be very surprised if we stayed in the top 4 this year. Wenger always seems to manage it though thankfully, but every season it seems to be tougher and tougher!

The main worry i have as a Spurs fan is how long it will take for the team to gel together. Arsenal, with their squad issues, still have a great starting 11 and are playing very well together at the moment. Will be interesting to see what happens at the game this weekend.

No doubt you'll drop a load of points over Christmas and then finish really strong, pipping us to 4th again...yis f*ckers :pac:

RidleyRider

If Arsenal amass anymore injuries then you could almost say farewell to champions league hopes.

Do you not rate Lugano? Thought he'd have been a good signing for West Brom.

For the lulz? They're not hipster approved eh? Two good players imo. I'd feel a lot better if they were available options at Liverpool.

Here is a bit of the article on Overmars saying Ericksson deal is completed just personal terms and Medical etc.(Ericksson has already said this summer he was interested in a move to Spurs)
http://www.telegraaf.nl/telesport/voetbal/ajax/21846237/__DEAL_AJAX_EN_SPURS__.html

I put it through google translate and cut off the bit at the end as we can't copy and paste whole articles.

Ajax has filed with the departure of Christian Eriksen (21). In the Amsterdam ArenA accepted the directors Michael Kinsbergen and Marc Overmars bid Tottenham Hotspur, the ongoing ten-month contract from the Dane repurchases for 12 million euros. Londoners pay the amount - that placement for the Champions League reaches 12.5 million - in three annual installments (€ 4 million).

Tottenham Hotspur made ​​Ajax clearly want to do. Quickly business "That's right," director of football affairs Marc Overmars from Ajax replied to the question whether he had negotiated with a delegation led by Spurs chairman Daniel Levy. In the ArenA The agreement he did not confirm.

Was a disaster at PSG, not much better for Uruguay lately and quick players will expose his severe lack of pace. If it were a few years ago if not longer, it would have been a very good signing.

I doubt they'd be making those signings unless they'd already agreed the deal sometime ago.

Well, they wouldnt be spending 90m this season if it wasnt going ahead imo. They never have had a high net spend.

Having said that, they spent it well on paper.

RidleyRider

I'd agre with you guys on the fact they wouldn't have signed them without a deal in place, I was just speaking in a hypothetical way?

Don't look deleted to me?

Moreover, his post wasn't much of a response to the topic of the thread, football and all. Demechellis and Lugano are still fine center backs and not players that are going to be comical at Premier League level.

Erik Lamela is on the verge of signing for Chelsea after passing a medical at Tottenham.

Flamini to Arsenal seems done. Despite the mockery being made of it on Twitter, I think it could be a good pickup.

Yes he has an awful injury record,but if it's good deal financially, he can make a decent impact for Arsenal this season I reckon.

Smithwicks Man

Matri to Milan looks close to completion for €10-12m. Transfer of the summer for Juventus. I'll never understand how businessman can be so clueless about football. Really, really, really hope it doesn't go through

Baffling really.

Pepe LeFrits

Flamini back to Arsenal is official.

Wenger really can't help himself. That said, Flamini may prove useful to have around.
