Cronky Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 this is the nolan link http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/news/Arsenal-lining-up-8million-summer-bid-for-Manchester-City-goalkeeper-Joe-Hart-after-his-impressive-loan-spell-at-Birmingham-Exclusive-article395641.html Ah, now reading that carefully there is no mention of Wenger actually wanting Nolan - only that he needs a combative midfield player and Nolan has done well in the Championship. Still, he would fit in very well with their high tempo, one-touch style of play... No mention of wenger wanting him? Were you expecting direct quotes from Arsene on how Nolans dynamic play would have a positive impact on there success and would be one their main targets this summer? Not direct quotes, but something on the lines of 'Wenger wants Nolan' is the minimum requirement for a rumour. But 'Wenger wants a DM - hey, that Nolan's being doing okay in the Championship' is stretching it a bit. That's clearly the journo's opinion that Nolan could do a job for Arsenal, not Wenger's.

Just because he supported the Toon as a kid, since Shearer was his favourite player. Billy Ions, 15 year old Geordie youth player currently in Spain. Linked in the same article in the OP.

Guest ObiChrisKenobi Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 In fact, the Larsson one is lazy Journalism too. We tried to sign him a few seasons ago but Birmingham were having none of it. So the papers are just rehashing that. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
GM Posted April 18, 2010 Share Posted April 18, 2010 Mads, you realise that for this thread to work you're going to have to keep your opening post updated with all the stories, you sure you're up for that?

Guest Heneage Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Erding is just left field enough for us. Cherfa seems weird, Us and Leeds is quite the broad spectrum. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Plays in Spanish Second Division, so maybe Leeds as a first-choice full-back (if they go up), lower half Premier League back-up? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Heneage Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 Do you speak French and Spanish Nut? Very impressed. I would expect the same kind of left field signings we've seen the last few windows. Lots of lower league scouting for potential players. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
