The Almighty 2015 Summer Transfer Window Thread

I've wanted him at Arsenal since he was at Lyon, I think he'll fit like a glove if he came over here.

I'm also a huge fan, I'm just saying that every new player needs an adjusting period, and I'm not so sure Benzema would be that much better than Giroud, at least not at first.

Probably. I do think Giroud is a good second choice for a title challenging club so he'd be doing his job whilst Benz would settle.

So Feler retweeting Arsenal news, was trolling from his side. Then all the media that reported, never backtracked the news (facepalm).

It was too good news to be true. But early reports about the interest in him are still there. Still bit confusing why would we go for him as long as we have Ramsey.

Nah he genuinely believes it's happening.

COPE are now reporting that it's 90% done and apparently they're reliable. I wouldn't know though.

Well, i don't see any other info from Feler, other than the (radio news) and his retweeting, if the radio news was invented, the tweet is trolling.

Benzema or whoever come as striker in Arsenal, don't need to overtake Giroud in his first season, he just need to add diversity to our play and goals.

Ok so lets go back with rumors about Vidal

Should we trust copa.es ? http://www.cope.es/detalle/Arturo-Vidal-a-un-paso-del-Arsenal.html

Way to many rumors about Vidal to Arsenal for some time now, we may not get him but it look like we are for him.

Well, i don't see any other info from Feler, other than the (radio news) and his retweeting, if the radio news was invented, the tweet is trolling.

Just to be clear, Feler is not some Ornstein type. He's a John Cross type. He makes a living inventing transfer rumours to generate clicks for his tabloid overlords, who then continue to pay him money. Timeline:

• Feler tweets Vidal is done
• Other clickbait outlets jump on the bandwagon
• People on social media starts picking it up, not knowing Feler is a tabloid hack
• Someone on Twitter creates an account and claims Feler was on the radio and TV talking about Vidal
• Feler sees this and thinks 'holy shit, they're all buying it', re-tweets to give him more credibility
• Troll reveals radio and TV appearance claim was made up
• People can't believe they've been had, still believes it was true because Feler re-tweeted it, even though it's been proven that it never happened

To paraphrase famous racist, Chelsea supporter and misogynist Jeremy Clarkson: anyone continuing to believe that Feler is an accurate source must have an IQ that begins with a decimal point.

The even funnier part of this whole saga is that Feler might actually turn out to be right. Maybe we are in for Arturo Vidal, who knows? But even if it happens, it would have been pure guesswork from Feler all along. That's how ITKing works. You throw darts in the dark. Some will hit the board, some won't. People will only remember the accurate ones and ignore the fact that most of them missed.

Vidal's agent follows Feler on Twitter

DUNDUNDUN

Yea, its funny how social media can spread false rumor this days. But Vidal storie was reports 2 months ago, telegraph reported day early before that guy on twitter, so are few spanish media. Maybe Vidal is this year Higuain.

YEEEEES PETR CECH U GOD

OMG we got him HAHAHAHHAHAHAHHAA!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Petr Cech: When Arsène Wenger spoke to me about his ambitions for this club, and how he saw me as part of this team, the decision was clear ( i kinda wonder do they force them to say things like this :D)

In your face you stinky morinho!

Props to VA10 by the way (check the OP).

Lacazette for just £21 million?

I'd snap him up for that. My last housemate was a Lyon fan so I watched a lot of their games. Was pretty impressed by what I saw of him.

Yep, Lacazette would be a huge signing !

Pretty good stats, although his 27 goals in 33 appearances is a bit deceiving as eight of them were penalties. The only worry I'd have at £21m is that he's unproven in the Premier League, and he's quite short. Wenger prefers his strikers tall, lean and handsome.

Haha, indeed ! (and we love him for that ; ))

That's true, but Wenger also love to develop young(ish) players (and he's very good at that) and we need to add diversity to our play and goals. Sure, he will have to adapt to the Premier League, but that's why he would be a great fit with Giroud for next season. That's why I think Lacazette would be a better signing than Benzema.
