17?!?!

He looks like an overgrown 12 year old

I have heard great things about Bielik & there were quite a few clubs after him offering him more money but he went with us, great guy. A huge guy plenty in the centre of midfield, We haven't had that for years.

****, Chelsea in talks with Cuadrado.. he'll pretty much complete their side playing on the right.

apparently all we're waiting for re: Paulista is a work permit too, lovely jubbly.

Although if Football Manager's taught me anything it's that work permits never get approved

:joker:

Yeah i'm not getting my hopes up with Paulista

I am getting my hopes up now

United signing some bloke called Dragovic(?) (CB) for 15m apparently

Madrid sign Lucas Silva, a football manager god

BR on Balotelli: "If you can't press, you can't be a part of the team. It doesn't matter who the player is."
BR: We had about an hour chatting yesterday [with Balotelli]. It’s difficult for him.

Right, someone give us £15m in the next week then

To think I actually wanted this mess to sign for Arsenal. What was I thinking?

Everyone seems to be saying Paulista is a done deal for 13.5m

Good ol' prudent Arsene battling down from 15m :clap1:

Loads saying Joel could be going the other way for the rest of the season on loan :think: sending out both Joel and Podolski in the same window without replacements would be odd & risky

I was expecting joel to go permanently this window tbf

confirmed :clap2:

Get in, never been so happy to see a centre back arriving, we have finally got another Brazilian in the squad too. Hopefully he can make a good career here and make it into the national side. Shame about Joel, he'll do well over in Spain. Will be watching Villarreal whenever i can now though.

Why are we signing Darren Fletcher ffs

What a dull window. Bloody hell.

Would anybody like Scott Sinclair? We can't shift him xo

Wanting rid of Sinclair, Milner out of contract, Lampard going to America, are Hart and Richard Wright the only other Englishmen

Arsene confirms there are no work permit issues and he should be arriving tomorrow

Get it done,Woody. This January can still be saved!

i have never heard of players commanding £31m fees, this is the kind of world we live in </3

£31m lol. Great talent but jesus christ how much more does he want to over spend on players.

31m is fair considering the Market. Would prefer that than 25m for Coleman at least.
