Fairly hedging his bets there...

Are those lads total bluffers though?
I could guess and have as much accuracy as they have had in the past I feel.
Anyway didn't Wenger say we will/might see some action after the 15th?

He may as well just say, it might rain tomorrow. Well, it might...

Arsenal seems to be a closed shop this year not much information getting out

These lads in the know are struggling big time in this window

Yes the Debuchy deal was well highlighted but Chambers came from nowhere.

They hinted at Sanchez this year before it happened.

As I said, this one is very wishy washy but there doesn't seem to be much coming out of anyone this year.

The journalists def have no clue

There linking us with enough people so when we sign someone they can point back and say as we reported two months ago

In fairness only chambers really came out of nowhere, Sanchez, Ospina and Debuchy were all called ahead of time by different journalists.

the debuchy rumours were helped along by the man himself given that he removed all the newcastle stuff from his official twitter and the likes

Jeremy Wilson and David Ornstein are both very good when it comes to Arsenal transfers. Get it right alot.

shano_88

And Jeremy Wilson wrote an article in April linking us with Chambers. He defiently knows what hes talking about.

The only 3 I pay attention to are geoffarsenal Dean and adamarsenal

The rest don't even pay attention to.


David Ornstein is reliable but get his news directly from the club and usually just confirms what the above three have already said.

Brilliant, congrats and you're even on here so soon.....who said men can't multitask! (Although I guess mother and baby are obviously still in hospital so enjoy the calm before the storm!). Ive a 2 week old at home too.....although I really wish I had thought of some of these fantastic arsenal name suggestions ;-)

Which Mickey Thomas?:p

One of them known as a hero to Gooners for his 1989 exploits in a certain match and the other known as the man who put us out of the 1992 FA cup with Wrexham.

Just go the whole hog.

Arsina McFly.

Congratulations fella!

No Denise McFly it is.
It's prophetic and just what we needed.
Look at her initials lads DMF (Defensive Mid-Fielder).

Jaafa

Sign her up Wenger?

Gringo180

Does anybody think Wilshere could be transformed into a sort of modern day defensive midfielder? I think he has the game to sit deep and start our build up play, but I just don't think he has the discipline to hold his position and his distribution can be suspect at times. As much as I like Arteta I think he hasn't got the legs any more to play this role against the top teams in England and Europe. If Jack could evolve his game to play DMF it would free up that space in the centre for Ozil who is much better playing ahead of the midfield 2 in behind the striker and pulling the strings, instead of on the wing where he is wasted imo (doesn't track back enough for my liking).

In a nutshell no.

I liked how we set up at he weekend with 2 "box to box" midfielders ahead of Arteta. Seemed to suit Jack and Ramsey really well and is a good alternative to our usual formation. Don't think we'll see Jack playing in the Arteta/Flamini role at any point.

(Yes I read the arseblog tactics column :P)

I'd say we will revert back to the usual formation when he's fit, but could also see him play where Cazorla did on Sunday depending on our opponents. Did alright on the left during the World Cup too.

He really is wasted on the left and takes away our speed from there that Ox/Walcott/Sanchez would provide.

We have spent 40m on this guy we really have to play him through the middle

If you have Arsenal Online (as part of your membership) watch the breakdown against City, Adrian Clarke does a savage analysis!!

I agree but I don't see how else he would fit into that formation, I don't think he has the attributes to play where Jack and Ramsey did on Sunday. I've no doubt we'll be back to our regular formation when he's fit anyway..

Wayne Veysey ‏@wayneveysey 31m
Exclusive: Arsenal open talks with Olympiakos over a move for centre-back Kostas Manolos. #AFC quoted fee of £8m.


Wayne Veysey has been fairly spot on so far this summer as well. He does write for Goal.com so i would take it with a pinch of salt but id say there is definitely some interest.
