My sports app just notified me and said that Xhaka has arrived in London.
Telegraph saying £25 million but rising potentially to £30 million
>>67720062

Wenger out
Xhaka is a bigger slower version of arteta but with all the stupidity of Flamini why the fuck do we want him?
>>67720224
Nobody wants him.
>>67720232

>>67720370
What does religion have to do with the game at all? It's about personal beliefs man, be more open minded and not give a fuck about it. I'm more concerned he might be shit, but Wenger never flopped a transfer with this amount of money so far.
>>67720276

Maybe I should be Muslim and take my faith more seriously...and with that, that cunt will grow up to beat his wife and tell his kids never to integrate when they finally come to Europe and we have to put up with affects.
We need more major NON-believers in sports to show them it's not a big deal to think YOU made that happened and not your god.
So, is alexis leaving or not?
>>67720436

>>67720436
No. He just want wenger out as well
>>67720431
just no. stop.
>>67720445
The news here is that some newspaper called him flop of the season or something, and he's been linked with Bayern, PSG, Juventus, etc. So I'm curious what the word over in Britain
>>67720126
This is an acceptable amount of money
Good job Wonga

he seems sturdy enough judging by this
>>67720759
don't like those flu stats considering how often the squad manages to speard a virus to one another
>>67720759
>implying injury records matter
Ozil and Welbz had relatively clean injury records before they came here.
Both spent more time out injured at Arsenal than they have in their entire previous career.
We could take players who have never felt pain in their lives and turn them into permacrocks.

>>67721179
>>67721195
If he was leaving doubt he'd go training right before making the move.
>>67721118
the current team does best when he's there but whatever you'd call his role in 13-14 is clearly his best
We should sign Bellarabi desu
>>67721209
he didn't
People really think we're gonna sign a player a week after the season ends.
Have you just started bandwagoning (dunno why you'd bandwagon this shite though) or something?
These transfer sagas continue for months until either another club becomes interested and signs them within 5 days, or we end up signing them just before the season starts.
See Mata, M'Vila, Higuain, Giroud, Cazorla, Cech...
The thing that frustrates me is that West fucking Ham just bid 31 million pounds for Lacazette and we're too stingy to shell out 35 for Xhaka.
>>67721275
Poldi was confirmed in April
>>67721304
After months upon months of speculation and flirting with us in the media and Mert flirting with him in the media.
It was a painfully long saga.
>>67721316

https://twitter.com/Kike_Marin_/status/733668854099005440
>>67721316
That was Xhaka talk from before Elneny was signed. He phoned up Coq to ask him for his shirt number time ago.
>>67721452
no lol
>>67721452
No but I'm praying he's right I don't want Morata anywhere near this club.
>>67721452
I doubt Wonga would buy Morata nor do I think we should
>>67721275
Giroud and Santi's transfers weren't drawn-out sagas you nitwit
>>67721500
They were very drawn out.
Especially Giroud's.
>>67721217
13/14 he was a midfielder. Just infinitely better than his current form. He has obviously regressed as a player, but the wing caters more to his strengths now

Arsenal close to signing Gladbach mdf Granit Xhaka. Agreement reached on £30m deal, in London to finalise terms, medical this weekend
Guise, I just got a 1 year old Rottweiler from a family friend that's moving out, any tips? looked kinda scary at first but I kinda got used to him and he's alright
>>67721769
ffs
https://twitter.com/bbcsport_david/status/733679704528551936
He's spoken
>>67721769
He's not trolling
Things we know;
>Xhaka is in England
>Multiple journalists have put their names to articles citing this - otherwise it'd be listed as written by 'sport team/writers' etc
>Players under contract must be given permission by their club before they can travel to speak with any other team
>Therefore a price has been agreed between Gladbach & Arsenal
>This will of course be subject to a medical being completed, hence why he's in the country
>Conclusion: It's on like fucking Donkey Kong
Welcome to Arsenal, Xhaka m8.
It's happening
>>67721769
rate the signing lads.
I'd give it 7, quality player, world class talent but reckless, some bad decisions and gives away too many cards.
How cucked are you guys?
German media has reported it as a done deal, stop worrying, it's not like the guy will get you a title anyway.
>>67721820
I'll wait until I see him play first desu but it's nice that it was done so early and that they didn't seem to have much of an issue paying a lot for him.
>>67721820
If it's 30M£ with bonus y a 7
It's not the biggest need of the team desu
>>67721769
>>67721793
SIGNINGS CONFIRMED
>>67721831
You don't know germanbro, you just don't know...This is the trauma of having Arsene do business in the market
>>67721831
Fuck off m8, some of us like being deluded
>tfw Xhaka is all but confirmed but you'll remain anxious until Arsenal releases the WELCOME XHAKA video
>>67721831
I would be excited about signing an 18 year old from laos 2bh
>>67721857
But you're doing business with a solid German team/manager, we don't fuck around, unlike spics or wops or what have you.
>>67721861
Feels weird watching his videos on youtube as it is, plus all his videos are shit, youtube videos are shit if its not a striker or some one scoring a lot of goals
Has Ornstein ever tweeted a deal as being close only for it to fall apart?
>>67721820
Solid 8 from me.
He's in the top 8 of all midfielders of the Bundesliga at age 22. Top 4 if you count the CM position exclusively.
We've needed someone with the agression and technical ability he posesses for quite a while.
>>67721885
It's still Arsenal and It's still Wenger. Wenger can be like, we are paying 1 million extra? Pull out!
>>67721886
>It's a long passes from deep and interceptions highlight reel
>>67720431
>>67721892
the only thing's wrong I think were saying Arteta was off and Welbeck was unlikely
>>67721820
I'm a bit worried to be perfectly honest.
It's a lot of money and could not work out
We've got Xhaka. Granit Xhaka.
I just don't think you understand
He came from Gladbach
He's better than Ballack
We've got Granit Xhaka
>>67721907
Reports of kroos in talks with arsenal
>>67721831
>>67721885
Mate you don't understand what we go through every single summer.
Nothing's confirmed until it's on Arsenal.com as far as I'm concerned.
>>67721952
can he play as a striker?
>>67721904
It will be alright, a pretty good signing actually, MGB fans will miss him greatly and he still has potential, plus i doubt he'll get carded as much in your league since German refs are much softer for the most part, not really following your team but it seems you still haven't solved your biggest problem, namely the lack of a clinical finisher, would not get my hopes up if you don't sign one this window.
>>67721814
Screenshot worthy
Fuck sakes >we are signing somebody and the window hasn't even opened yet, what the fuck am I supposed to complain about now WONGAAAAA
>>67721968
He can score blooters from midfield
Better than ozil
>>67721927
Who cares about the price tag. We have the money.
West Ham just bid 31m for Lacazette, and we have loads more money than them.
With the new TV money, PL teams have a lot more funds available to them.
>>67721898
He'll be 23 and 11 months when the season starts
>>67721985
We won't sign a striker.
>>67721976
yeah, also it wouldn't be surprising if he'll be our only signing
>>67721987
Wenger would just tell him not to shoot, just like Elneny
>>67721976
We really struggled to create in the second half of the season without cazorla. Hopefully this signing will help fill that void.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OHcufEcz48w
>>67721994
We have money. But not that much. You can say goodbye to a striker
>>67722010
lol and i thought supporting a 2nd Bundesliga club that almost got relegated to the 3. League is suffering, i guess being so close to the cake and knowing you'll never have it might be even worse.
xhaka is shit
literally young flamini tier
Not bothered about the price because money isn't really an issue for us, but he's really not the kind of player we need.
Wenger's definitely not changing the way we play, so he's going to try and turn Xhaka from a long ball merchant into another Elneny. Strength in depth is always a good thing though.
It's still Wenger Out btw
>>67722029
Surely if Wet Spam can spend 31m on a player then we can spend this summer?
Obviously it won't happen and we'll only sign Xhaka but I'm talking theoretically here, surely we have the resources?
>>67722043
Can see Xhaka taking the Arteta role.
>>67722069
We are losing flamini, arteta, Rosisky and now it seems Campbell is leaving too, I think we'll sign another midfielder at least to counter this and welbecks injury will force him to sign a striker.
>>67721842
Guardian and Telegraph both going with 25m with bonus
http://www.telegraph.co.uk/football/2016/05/20/arsenal-to-sign-granit-xhaka-as-midfielder-heads-to-london-to-co/
https://www.theguardian.com/football/2016/may/20/arsenal-close-granit-xhaka-signing
>>67722021
Another good looking lad to add to the club.
So who do you want to get rid of from the club? Walcott and Ox, here.
>>67722043
What the fuck did you want, Kante? We already have Coqulien to run around and be a nigger.
>>67722088
Injury-prone bench player?
>>67722146
Honestly I don't want us to sell loads of players, because although we have a lot of shit, we also have a relatively thin squad and I don't see much of a point in thinning it.
Wouldn't mind getting rid of Theo though.
>>67722134
most important thing
>>67722069
The Spammers won't be able to recruit anyone that's individually worth £31m. Lacazette won't go there and neither will Batshuyi. The furthest their cash will take them is someone like Benteke.
On your second point, yes, I believe we have the resources to buy high quality in 3 positions. The problem is whether or not those high quality targets are made available and actually want to come. If they are, I think we'll do it.
>>67722162
I wanted a striker you fool
Wenger fucking in lads
>>67722103
Who's saying that Soupman is off?
>>67722225
Wenger - by not playing him in the 2nd half of the season
>>67722167
No, the role he played when he was a key player for us.
Don't disrespect Arteta lad, he was brilliant before his age caught up with him.
>>67722178
We still needed a midfielder. Ramshit, Coquelin and Flamini started over 20 games for us last season for fucks sakes.
>>67722177
Reckon Michy could go there desu if he wants a PL move he ain't getting much better.
But I get what you're saying.
But even then, I was trying to say that they have the funds available to bid 31m for players. If they have that money then so do we.
set in stone lads, signings confirmed
now sign a fucking striker
>>67722251
Don't group Pope Francis with those 2 twats you twat.
>>67722240
So am I allowed to hope that Walcott is off too because he got benched for Iwobi for several games?
If we do sign a striker, does that leave any dough left for a quality CB or do we hope that Chambers or some yoof player can get a breakthrough season like Bellerin
Real talks we've signed a midfielder that's great but we still need a striker a winger and a defender then we're sorted for the summer.
>>67721034
Wilshere will continue getting a contract extension every season, even if he's out injured for 30 league games.
arsenal a shit
imagine having a world class striker
>>67722296
Good, good.
>>67722264
But who?
>>67722295
And a new manager.
So, just to confirm. We're selling/releasing
>Flamini (£65k p/w approx) free
>Rosicky (£80k p/w approx) free
>Arteta (£85k p/w approx) free
>Gibbs (£45k p/w approx) £8-12m
>Campbell (£35k p/w approx) £8-10m
I know Theo has been rumoured to go, but I don't think anyone in the league is stupid enough to pay the fee we'd want plus his wages. Is Ospina still unhappy on the bench, or did that get resolved?
>>67722306
Sturridge.
>>67722306
Morata, Icardi, Sturridge, Lacazette? Improvements of Giroud at least
Aubameyang, Benzema less likely but will make us title favourites
>>67722345
He would be a GOAT signing if it wasn't for his injury issues.
What the fuck?
https://twitter.com/SkySportsNewsHQ/status/733690701192515585
Morata has played for Real Madrid and Juventus, yet his highest scoring season in a top division has been 8 (EIGHT) goals.
Why do people here genuinely believe that a man who can only score 8 goals in a terrible league, for the only good team in that league, would solve our goalscoring issues?
If we sign Morata, Giroud will end the season with a better return, so what's the point?
>>67722359
The 10 games Sturridge is out injured will be the 10 games where Giroud GOATs it up.
>>67722351
I have doubts about the quality of 3 of those players, and the only one that's proven in the Premier league would turn into a permacrock with our medical staff
>>67722388
Yeah he's been heavily linked with the job for a while now.
Good move desu, he'll make a decent amount of money, big fanbase, European football, and he'll be able to walk the league.
>>67722388
You didn't know it was happening? They've been talking about it for ages.
>>67722418
no, only focus on big transfers regarding players in the prem really.
>>67722390
I don't want Morata. I think he'd be a huge mistake. His numbers are fucking pathetic for the sort of prices being thrown around.
>>67722388
Brenny will do that for a few years until Wenger retires
>>67722390
Because he scored in the CL in a couple of big games so everyone assumed that he was world class.
>>67722390
Welbeck effect
![Milik[1].jpg](https://i.imgur.com/RhYmN2E.jpg "Milik[1].jpg")
Would you?
The fact that we're the only club who are in for Xhaka proves what an utter shit player he is.
>>67722338
I'm kinda hoping Liverpool might be stupid enough to take Walcott off Arsenal's hands.
>>67722586
Don't think so, Wenger is really conservative when it comes to players. If follow that logic that means we shouldn't have singed Elneney either ?
My 3 attainables for this window were
Xhaka
Mkhitaryan (contract issues with BVB)
Lacazette
2 to go, Dick Law. Get it done.
>>67722620
Elneny is a shit player, bad argument there.
Miki is going to Chelsea
>>67722613
Not now they have Klopp. He won't sanction a move for such an expensive one dimensional, ineffective player.
>>67722620
Elneny is wank
>>67722388
>Brenny will be in the CL
>Liverpool won't
>>67722586
Bayern have been monitoring him for 2 seasons now, but have no room in their midfield presently.
City were the only team in for KDB, so I guess that means he's shit too.
When's Roman gonna step in and hijack this deal
Xhaka only got one (1) assist last season
>>67722816
We don't need him to be someone who gets assists
Xhaka plays for Switzerland but his brother plays for Albania

Can someone tell me some things Xhaka is not good at?
Literally the only bad thing I've seen people say is that he gets red cards a lot but that's nothing.
>>67722912
Some top lads in that video desu
Coq - Xhaka?
Wilshere - Xhaka?
Cazorla - Xhaka?
Elneny - Xhaka?
Coq's definitely getting dropped as we've seen already but what does this mean for Elneny?
>>67722977

>>67723016

>>67722977
Since Arsenal had the best midfield with Coq - Santi and Özil it's going (hopefully) to be Coq - Xhaka - Özil.
>>67723203
>coquelin
>playing
nice video
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-rnuC38G8N8
>>67723203
It's most probably gonna be Xhaka- Santi- Ozil or Xhaka - El Neny - Ozil
Wenger doesn't rate Coq for more than sub
So lads, how many NLDs will it take for Xhaka's first red?
Tbh if it's warranted and won't cost >us the match I don't mind. We need to get back to the tough cunt team. Wilshere, Xhaka and Gabby P are a start.
>>67723222
Just isn't sexy, Giroud is fucking trash but I rather watch his youtube highlights, passing and shit is just meh
>>67723203
But then what happens to Santi? Is he getting sold? Is he a new bench man? Is he going back to being a winger?
>>67723280
Jack, Xhak and Coq in midfield. Ozil can fuck off.
Ainsley, Akpom and Iwobi in front of them for the roadman core that won't take any shit.
Jenko and Gibbs for that Arsenal passion. Gabby at CB with Stefan O'Connor (also part of the roadman core)
Woj in goal.
Bringing back that derby feeling senpai
I'm gonna miss Coq.
>tfw Xhaka will flop
>>67723336
>implying the roadman core will stay at Arsenal
Islington is a posh rich boy ends. They will leave to join a real roadman team like Spurs or West Ham.
>>67723299
Santi will be the new Rosicky.
>>67723336
enjoy 10th place with that shit, at best
>>67721507
>>67721275
Wasn't Santi's transfer quick as fuck? I remember a gap of only like 2 weeks between transfer rumours and him popping up on Arsenal.com. Also we where never really in for Higwayne or M'Villa, everyone knows the one we missed out on was BIG CHRIS SAMMBA
>>67723395
I would actually enjoy it with that team.
Eternal Gay Faggot Thread
We are all relatively sure this coming season will be Wenger's last
Historically, we've learned that he's often tried to win the title with a team largely grown by himself, rather than buying mercs
However, this season, being his absolute last, is Wenger going for broke? Will he pay for a new midfielder, defender and, most importantly, striker?

Nah, he's the most stubborn manager out there. He only went for Xhaka cause he's available and we lack debth in the middle. A couple more players on though, I hope he signs a decent striker.
Xhaka, Cazorla, Ozil is the best midfield in the league. Disagree?
