Football : Season 2013/14 & Summer Window

Ba on loan would be fine after Ozil to be honest. Ozil allows Podoski to be a center forward too and Ba adds depth.

That's if we get Ozil, which we won't,

You're conditioned as an Arsenal fan not to expect known signings, let alone massive ones like Ozil. That would be a HUGE signing for any team. We got excited over Arteta.

I swap your team for mine then you know what it like to be worried all the time

Yeah but these things are relative. Good point though. I think you'll be ok once the team beds in. Far worse teams in the league. Hull and Palace will go down IMO and one more...

What Damien said bar a few things.

Sunderland in my mind as a Newcastle fan had an impressive summer haul and I agree and did mention this way earlier in the thread that Sunderland would get off to a rough start before the team came together as a whole. However I have to reflect on my earlier view as Di Canio which I truly believe is a bad move for Sunderland, your fans may appreciate the guy and enjoy his managerial style but it has no place in football, Di Canio is an idiot and always will be, He has no idea how to run a Premier League football club and his attitude towards his players is ridiculous (Yes a Newcastle fan defending Sunderland players)

Tell your players off behind the scenes, fair enough but to lose your rag with them and then publicly bash them like he did on the BBC the other day is just way off.

Not to sound like I'm overhyping a player but Demba Ba will make more of an Impact than Mezut Ozil. Ba will score goals and lots of them, He's more clinical than Podolski, Walcott and Giroud put together.

Ozil and Cazola supplying Walcott, Giroud and/or Ba would be tasty

Al-Jazeera are confirming Ba to Arsenal on loan.

I'm not too happy about the loan unless theres a knock down fee agreed already for a full transfer.

[adzii_nufc]

The only problem you have with Ba is his ridiculous agents demanding hilarious fee's

idiots.

Nah we never missed out, we didn't even bid, anything JFK says is utter bollocks I'm afraid. Come the end of the window we'll get the usual summer statement of we pushed hard but couldn't get them over the line. Might as well just send a tape of last years explanation.

Infact forget it, I wouldn't be shocked if at this stage we'd approached Michael Owen.

wow Owen. you'd be better off counting on Taylor playing upfront.

I reckon Arsenal will go back in for Cabaye today. we're still short on numbers in midfield. Arsenal have though told agents they are not longer in the market for an AM which is fine tbh, we only needed 1 able to play across the field.

what do you make of this...

I'm told Mike Ashley let Cabaye listen to phone negotiations last week + he heard Arsenal say: "25 million a lot for a reserve" #moodchanger

We thought £20m was the realistic figure but it was already known Mike Ashley may go as high as £25m.

However with this being deadline day you could expect in Mike Ashley world for him to demand £30m

Rumours now are circulating that Liverpool are to make a late late move for Juan Mata- David Maddock, Mirror. --BBC Ben Smith claims Liverpool now contact Real Madrid for star winger Angel Di Maria.

Oh yes please.

Dont think we need Cabaye. Flamini was good at the weekend
