:D

Gutted. That's a great signing.

For £35m in today's money, that's pretty fantastic.

seeing him getting hacked down by charlie adam will be quite the bracing WC comedown

what is that shirt? that's not the home shirt right so wth is it?

for some reason i kind of love it

training top

oh right, make sense

thx

I don't think their new kit has been officially "unveiled" yet

Gutted. That's a great signing.

yeah

had a p ropey spell at barca for a while iirc? but yeah hard to imagine him not storming it right now

heard lack of movement as excuse for ozil's apparent poor productivity a lot last season so that will be interesting

new physio will still be arsenal's biggest signing

pictures here http://i.imgur.com/ncirgG4.png but yeah I think it's being "officially" unveiled tonight. don't like the home one but the away is nice.

Charlie Adam won't get near him tbh, it'll take an artisan to hack Alexis down

not sure the first name term will catch on here tbh, the people will need a subconscious suarez stand-in

Still think Arsenal need a CM or two but ain't gonna front that's still a terrific signing. Sanchez and Herrera the best 2 players coming to the Prem this summer?

Actually I forgot about Cesc, p sure he should still be great when freed from Barca.

I'm not convinced re Sanchez tbph

Sneaky suspicion Kagawa with a proper manager potentially the best new player in the league next season.

Word is after Sanchez/Debuchy that DM and Giroud back up are the next priorities. Personally I'd be happy with Campbell and instead focusing on replacing Vermaelan/getting a 4th centre half but I guess Wenger thinks Kos/Merte are injury proof?

Is Walcott back for the start of the season or not?

Serie A fast becoming the resting place for aging full backs.

i have no idea tbh. its arsenal, an injury means you wont be seen or heard of for possibly another six years.

€95 million apparently

So that's about £75m right? About what everyone figured was the buyout clause.

lot of wailing and gnashing of teeth on RAWK

really? oh well

I swear the lfc fans on here spend less time on rawk than the rest of you.

The fee seems fair enough, the team will be poorer without him but whatyagonnado we are to Barca as Southampton are to us.

Bojan to Stoke!?

OMG what next Pato to Leeds?

They'll be toothless in attack next year.

*Drudge sirens* TAL BEN HAIM *Drudge sirens*

hearty lol at the cobbled-together Suarez pic 'cos he's not allowed in stadiums, on pitches, to do keepie-uppies, etc

*weeps*

i never look at RAWK but am unable to resist a bad dental pun

75m seems OK to me tbh? cen fath eh grindeach na fiachla

should've paid in

bitcoin

amirite

*Drudge sirens* TAL BEN HAIM *Drudge sirens*

Only player to have finished second in the league, lost the FA Cup final, the Champions League final and the League Cup final without having won any of them. If you get to the playoffs, don't let him anywhere near Wembley.

Unlikely, but I am enthused by the intensity with which we seem to be building our squad

I mean, we've just signed this guy: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/J%C3%B3hann_Berg_Gu%C3%B0mundsson

On 6 September 2013 Jóhann scored a hat-trick, the first person to do so for Iceland in 13 years, in a FIFA World Cup qualifying match against Switzerland, equalizing with the last goal of the match, a left-footed, curling shot from the edge of the 18-yard box in the 91st minute, with the match finishing 4-4.

That's some serious business-meaning

I happened to be watching that goal live. It's probably my favourite non-Liverpool moment of the season past.

moment not involving Moyes anyway

oh yeah, you said

decent match to have seen

It would've been Iceland-Brazil in the first match of the Parallel World Cup.

or possibly Iceland-Dubai, depending on Parallel FIFA

this bloke could have scored two in a 4-3 victory, and never signed for Charlton ever

the word 'permalink' has never felt so bitterly ironic

missed the flag eh

keylor navas to bayern seems like kind of a waste

also didn't know that the disparity was as big as this

Bayern's decision to let him go -- they didn't bow to his wage demands, arguing that he wasn't quite world-class -- has certainly looked less smart with every passing game. "It's a joke that Mario Götze makes nearly three times as much," Der Tagesspiegel noted. It's hard to disagree with that assessment. Bayern's cause has not been helped by the fact that Götze and Kroos share the same agent

So not only does Gotze get an insane amount more but Kroos knows that he does.
