    wenger should throw one last card and bring stephen appiah to arsenal to boost are midfield

  2. neil says:

    it will be open again in January, not the end of the world

  3. Ricky says:

    Its not the end of the world, thats right but its a end of a era which could have been sorted out if people used there brains.

  4. neil says:

    hopefully by jan we are all thinking well we didnt actually need to sign any 1, when we are sitting pretty at the top of the league.

  5. AlwaysArsenal says:

    Well the way I see it, if Denilson and Diaby do well then yay. If they don't do fantastically fair enough we won't be top by January but we'll still be in the top 4 or just under, therefore the situation would be easily savable with the right buys.Right now what I'm most concerned about is the article on Arsenal.com 'Eboue the pass master' lmao

  6. Tom says:

    u forgot danny haynes from ipswich as well

  7. bergkamp13 says:

    I noticed West ham annouced today two transfers and said something about “international transfer certificates” as the reason for the late annoucement. I guess there is a glimmer
    of a chance that perhaps the silence from the Emirates means something is coming … or not.

  8. Gunner Jillu says:

    The list seems a bit made up, I dont remember being linked with kaka, Ronaldinho, Messi, Robinho, Messi, Robben, Gudjonsen.

  9. QuartzGooner says:

    Thanks for crediting me, but please also credit online Gooner as I wrote it for them

  10. Gunner Jillu says:

    Think maybe you were struggling to get 100 names so added a few on to get a more eye catcing number, but anyway get the point we been linked with a lot of players

  11. Gunner Jillu says:

    Quartz Gooner, you made up a few of the names, admit it

  12. Joshwaaaa says:

    Appiah might be coming so you can only hope. And with his experience and ability, our team would greatly benefit. Plus it would be on a free!
