I've always thought Gibbs is a pretty decent player, surprised there isn't more clubs than Watford in for him.

Presumably the lower the transfer fee, the more West Brom can afford to pay him

Whenever we sign players like that I can never tell if they're going to be hilarious flops or a breath of fresh air (compared to the current level of Arsenal defending). It's not as if the bar is particularly high.

I'd be happy with a defender who's been playing under Tony Pulis for the last few years.

Former Manchester City striker Stevan Jovetic has been caught up in one of the most bizarre stories of the transfer window.

Inter Milan striker Jovetic was on his way to Monaco to join the French champions and caught a helicopter from Nice airport to watch their game with Marseille.

But also on the helicopter was Marseille chairman Jacques-Henri Eyraud who did not recognise him, started a conversation and told him they were signing Jovetic.
Jovetic then revealed who he was, Eyraud lost his temper and angrily told him a medical had been booked and a deal had been agreed.

there isn't any way that arsenal would offer sterling a comparable contract in a swap deal, right? i think i'm remembering correctly that city paid him like twice what they should've

City pay everyone twice what they should. Maybe they'll keep paying part of his wages if they're really trying to get rid, or maybe he'll get Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's 180k/week.

Arsenal were prepared to give Sanchez all the money, so I would assume it would just go to Sterling.

Lazio's Keita is having a medical with Monaco today. I was hoping he was going to stay with Lazio and sign for Juve next summer on a free, which is what had been rumored.

Ornstein said a bunch of stuff.

Seems like Liverpool and Chelsea are both in for Ox, with only Chelsea yet to make a bid.

Wengy will let mustafi go if he can sign Jonny Evans.

Leicester and West Brom in for Gibbs.

Everything is happening and it's all poo poo.

That night we performed the rite and opened the gate.
Halfway through, I went to fix us both a coke float.
By the time I got back, he'd gone insane.
Plus, he'd left the gate open and there was evil everywhere.


Is this the thread when I am glad my old man who was an Arsenal supporter died before Wenger just conceded that his team are just a feeder for the top tier teams in Europe? I mean it has been that way for a while but at least it looked like he was trying.

Wenger won't sign Evans unless Mustafi leaves. West Brom won't sell Evans unless they have a replacement, ideally Mangala. City won't sell Mangala unless they have a replacement, ideally Evans. Mangala wants to go to Inter. Inter wants Mustafi.

People don't usually just pull up planes next to each other to do business. It's not like police in the parking lot of a fast food place at 2am

Wenger should keep Mustafi AND try to sign Evans, especially if he keeps trying that loving back three. I'd also totally do a swap with City for Sanchez but there is literally no chance of that happening.

Guardian reporting City have considered Sterling+20m but haven’t lodged an official bid.
