This is all my fault for getting a Song kit. Sorry everyone.


Almost did the same, but was waiting to see what the away kits looked like.

I've decided on an away Arteta kit. He seems happy as shite to be playing at Arsenal, and nobody's after him.

I actually really rate Fellaini but he's not a better player than song and certainly not more mobile.


Song was among the reasons we moved from a 2 man midfield. He was extremely slow. Felliani is the better athlete. I've never said he was a better player than Song though.

The Sahin deal is turning into another Sigurdsson for Liverpool. Apparently Madrid have accepted a bid from Liverpool and want Sahin to go there, but the player would rather a move to Arsenal (who still has an offer on the table) where he can play CL. Reports are that no deal will be done until early next week at the earliest. Looks like everything depends on Song and whether or not he is replaced before then.

For what it is worth, Mertesacker has a higher top speed than Song. LINK

Song is really slow.

Apparently sahin is close and songs price might be 20m

@AFCAMDEN: We've agreed a good price for Song, around £15-20m (Believe closer to £20m). Announcement soon. "Nuri Sahin is close" #AFC

Yeah, sure is looking like we'll get him now. Arsene personally called him today, apparently.

Will be a bummer if we miss out on another player like this.

I'm all for Sahin on loan but I think we should still spend the Song money on players such as cover for our right back.

Been a rough summer for you guys. Sigurdsson, Ramirez, Sahin all were supposed done deals. at least you didn't sell your two best performers from last year!

Yea now Ramirez is going to fricking Southampton. WTF!

Really shows where we stand in the football world now. CL is everything and I don't see us getting back there in the next couple seasons. We just can't keep up.

i really wish we could go through an uneventful offseason. This offseason for my teams has been nuts. LSU's was crazy... Arsenal's has been crazy... and the Saints??? ridiculous.

This is insane. And I think they should close the transfer window BEFORE the season begins. WTF?

It's less than 20 hours until the first game and we don't even know who will be on the squad this season.

Yeah prior to about 1 month ago I was really excited that I'd stop hearing about the saints, and LSU & Arsenal would be up soon and both of them are fine!..

Then the RVP news hit... "Ok, I've still got #1 ranked LSU!"

Then the TM7 news hit... "well that blows, but I guess Arsenal isn't too bad off with the new signings"

Then the Song news hit.
