Official Gary Cahill transfer thread

A full back who can also defend would be just peachy.

[Lofthouse Lower]

Blimey, been a long time since we had one of those

To be fair Robbo can defend. Its just he has no pace to get up and down the line!

[Gooner Girl]

Why the f*ck is everyone obsessed with swapping us players?

There's a recession on; we've got a thin squad; others have huge squads; squad lists are capped at 25.

Lansburys a midfielder, played for the England U21's. Traore and Vela both show good promise, i'd be reluctant to part with them. You can have Eboue though

Whether We Of The High Standards like it or not, all those players make sense in their way.

I've been half-expecting us to be lent Lansbury as a "new Wilshere", not that he's at that level (sadly).

We know Coyle liked Vela in January (though we're glad it didn't work as we got Sturridge instead), and it wouldn't surprise or particularly dismay me if he was part of the swap.

Traore and Eboue are attacking full-backs (who can play wide midfield), which also ticks a few Coyle boxes.

Eboue is very versatile but a complete nut job and liability, he makes Lehmann look calm. Supposedly a great influence in the dressing room but not quite got the quality needed to hold down a regular place at Arsenal, will always be a sub for us i would guess.

Sturridge worked out well for you but taking Vela on loan next season would be a good move for Bolton, he really is a talent. I rate him higher then Bendtner (Am half surprised Bendtner hasn't been linked with Bolton...)

Traore could be available as we do have Gibbs if Clichy goes so i guess thats why he has been mooted.

As for Lansbury, he might be worth a punt loan wise as well. Bolton took Wilshere on in huge steps (something us gooners should be grateful to you for) i'd be more then happy if we leant you a few more of our young stars, prefer that to them being part of a Cahill deal tbh.

so long as the ball is

a) on his left, and
b) nowhere near his right, or
c) not in the air, or
d) against pace

[Lofthouse Lower]

Bendtner.

Talent in his head maybe

[Abs]

Bendtner.

Talent in his head maybe

bendtner is talented...he's an arrogant cvnt, but he has scored some absolute screamers. problem is he's a backup to van persie which makes him look even worse as van persie is world class player

[Lord Kangana]

Is he Harry Kewell level?

[Abs]

Is he Harry Kewell level?

Kewell was a loser. Bendtner is deluded

[Lord Kangana]

Didn't lose the Sampions Lig though, did he?

[Lofthouse Lower]

Is he Harry Kewell level?

Kewell was a loser. Bendtner is a deluded bell-end

Fixed

That Spurs deal is so beyond unlikely it's not even worth talking about.

I'd be happy to see Lansbury or Vela here, provided it's not too big a chunk from our £17mil.

[BWFC_Insane]

Ok we all know its not happening, BUT as a hypothetical situation and forgetting about wages, which of the 4 Spurs players rumoured to be offered would you take?

For me Bassong and Hutton would be no brainers, definitely improve us and realistically couldn't see us signing much better elsewhere.

Jenas, not for me.

Keane as it stands would be better than Robbie Blake but would not be worth it if we could bring in better.

Hypothetically it would be Bassong, Hutton, Bentley and Keane.

[Lofthouse Lower]

I'd take them all.

Jenas is superior to M Davies by sheer dint of him being relatively match-fit for more than 60% of a season
Hutton is superior to Steinsson, well, because he exists
Keane....hmmm superior to Elmander, probably
Bassong is superior to Knight, but then again so is my Nan

I'd have rather loaned that Sandro for a year, or been cheeky for Defoe.

No to Bentley though, arrogant c*nt

One from Capslock's best mate Marc Iles: "Cahill latest in the BN tomorrow. One interesting development and a fairly definitive statement."
