SUPERTOON

Well you know nothing is happening when there are 4 pages of Obertan debate in the transfer window thread.

This super quick agent's name will be ruined after dealing with Ashley.

David craig took some pounding like, especially from some fat knacker. Took it in his stride tbf I was sat a few rows behind the fat guy. Made for a fun night Aiii it was a laugh like, Looked like a personal vendetta though haha. Positive ryder was up there but he barely raised his head above the wall, good thing too!. Aye im pretty sure i saw Ryder before KO. The best bit was when the fat guy was calling Craig a mackem, Craig politely removed his headphones and said i support Arsenal, at which point the fat guy just stuck his fingers up at him and called him a stupid mackem bast***.

Great match last night, thought we were very good, some really good moves and kept the ball well, can't remember one long ball. Thought the 4 standouts were Bigi, Marv, Tav and Amalfitano. Bigi in particualr looked ready for the first team, played some brilliant passes. All in all really encouraging signs about our younger players, and the way we are trying to keep the ball, and not just hoof it. Also David Craig tooks some serious abuse from the crowd last night.

I reckon we will get him on loan on deadline day.

Hartlepool have one of the best pitches outside the prem, plus apart from a heavy shower about and hour ago, it has been pretty dry. No chance of the game being off.

September 1st.

How quick will their midfield be....

It gives Ashley an excuse when we don't sign anyone.

The most worrying thing is that Ashley would not care at all if, at the end of the transfer window we had bought nobody in. If clubs don't accept what he believes is the maximum value, then he will walk away.

The transfer window gets worse every year like. Wish they would change it to a two/three week window, which closes before the start of the season.

We have shown so many times that we will not pay a penny above what we value a player at. If Lille don't back down, we won't sign him.

Sounds pretty negative about our chances to sign anyone like.

Bullshit imo. Look for other targets is pointless, we aren't going to find one who's better than Simpson for less than the price Lille want for Debuchy. He's very good, he wants to come and the price is reasonable. What's the problem. Van Der Weil was linked for 5 million the other day.

Time to move on, otherwise it will turn out like last summers striker chase, unless that is what they wanted all along.

Stupid offer if true, starting to feel like our striker chase last summer.

Some other guy on twitter said this earlier like, claims he broke that biggy was having a medical when that first happened.

What has he said like?

Should do the same to the Debuchy thread.

He any good?

think Arsenal are going to do just fine without RVP. Flying in for a medical this week.

You being serious? Why would Cabaye have left Lille in the first place if he didn't want to leave Debuchy?

Knew he would be the one Pardew was on about, who would sign this week.

Madrid sources saying it is to Arsenal.
