THE FINAL COUNTDOWN--Arrested Transfer Development Thread

I'm loving this:

From @TheTweetofGod: "******** you God, you Arsenal-loving prick." No, that would be Assad.

 

From Bild: http://www.bild.de/sport/fussball/transferperiode/alle-geruechte-alle-transfers-32077390.bild.html

If you use chrome, it'll translate it for you.

Most relevant part:

This is my reaction:

 

A real man gives his right.

 

Report: Bild (the German version of a red-top) report that Ozil to Arsenal is done and will be confirmed officially in the hour.

 

Cue that "It's happening" GIF.

 

Why not just announce it now? THIS MIGHT ACTUALLY BE HAPPENING!

 

You know how Arsenal does things, We have to get pictures in before the announcement.

 

BBC:
OZIL UPDATE

Arsenal are preparing to confirm the signing of Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid. The Gunners are set to make an announcement in the coming hours. The documentation is being signed and completed as we speak.

Arsenal close to completing Ozil signing, announcement due in coming hours. Documentation being signed as we speak #bbcfootball #afc #rmfc

 

Ozil is gonna give Szez a good run for the title of "Fugliest Gunner".

 

I will never question Arsene Wenger again, he's smarter than i'll ever be.

 

I remember the days when we signed handsome and talented players...

 

I've been smiling all day

Thank u wumger

 

Well, I'm not going there just yet. They definitely need another striker, defender maybe another holding mid.

 

Well, I figure the best case scenario 3 days ago was Cabaye. And it seems we're getting Ozil. So excited.

 

ahh...don't worry mate.
BBC is reporting that Ozil is meeting tomorrow morning with same London doctor that beautified Rooney's scalp and Bale's ears
followed by a visit to Olivier Giroud's school of handsome

 

Wouldn't mind getting Ba though.

 

Let's just hope this is all true. And no one is going to hijack this deal at the last minute. *Fingers crossed*

 

If we are going for backup strikers, I'd much rather have Torres than Ba

 

Ba would be a solid pick up, apparently whats halting is it Chelsea want a 3mil loan fee and we dont want to pay it, and they would rather sell Ba off then loan him out.

 

BBC:

REMEMBER OWEN HARGREAVES?

BBC Sport's Saj Chowdhury: "I just bumped into former Manchester United and England midfielder Owen Hargreaves in Manchester. I asked him whether he had been following the latest developments on transfer deadline day, to which he responded, "not a chance".

"I then informed the former Bayern Munich player that Arsenal had agreed a £42.4m deal with Real Madrid for Germany midfielder Mesut Ozil. His response to that? "Really? They don't even need him."

 

If it's really 12M for Ba then that wouldn't be that bad.

 

Anything solid on this Italian guy Viviano? SkySports said it was official in an interview with SkyItalia.

 

fake

last year Spurs thought it was all luck, but this year he done it again, WUMGER!! Wtf

 

reports suggest that he is quality. I think Arsene is bringing him on loan to spark competition for Szczesny.

I fully expect Szczesny to be our no.1
