Arsenal finally sign a centre-back! Plus some other news.



And also:



Some other news:

- Bug Eyes (aka Mesut Özil) will be back for the FA Cup match against Brighton!

- Jorge Mendes (ugh) claims that Crispy almost signed for Arsenal but we couldn't his transfer fee because of the construction of the Emirates Stadium.



- Arsenal Ladies have signed Vicky Losada from Barca! She's won the Women's La Liga (Superliga) thrice with them and is a member of the Spanish Women's NT!

- Arsenal are reportedly hoping to get Asier Illarramendi from Real Madrid in the summer.

- They have also supposedly launched a bid for Borussia Dortmund's Kevin Großkreutz. (Utter bullshit, but it would be nice to see BFG and Le Döner-Thrower together again.)

Woop!

Let's hope the immigration office rubber stamps that work permit.

With so many of our forwards (Podolski, Sanogo and now Campbell) out on loan, do you think Wenger is looking to make another signing before the window closes?

I hope so. Just hope it's not Cavani :/

Zlatan and Cris on the same team...that would be...interesting. o_O And I almost missed Messi...lol...that would be something. I can't decide if it would be hilariously entertaining or hilariously awful. I can sorta see Messi getting along with them, but a Cris/Zlatan clash would seem inevitable. Probably for the best it didn't happen, Arsene. ;-D

More interesting is Zlatan and PK ;)

[identity profile] ms-geekette.livejournal.com 2015-01-24 09:52 pm (UTC)(link)
But they are BFFs/secret life partners, apparently. ;-D I don't know if their love-in would be able to contain the potential on-field scorched-Earthness of Cris/Zlatan.

Also, did you just decide to go YOLO with your personal statement? :-D Because if you sent me something, I haven't received it. It's probably for the best; I'd probably want to add unnecessary commas and parentheses. XD

[identity profile] the4thjuliek.livejournal.com 2015-01-24 09:58 pm (UTC)(link)
Nope, I haven't sent it, sorry! I hope you haven't been wondering if there's anything wrong with your email. Do you mind if I send it in a couple of days? Still in brain-freeze mode + my sister's come home and we're on a three day shopping spree :/

[identity profile] ms-geekette.livejournal.com 2015-01-24 10:03 pm (UTC)(link)
It's no problem, but you'll really need to let me know when you need it back by when you send it. I really don't want to hold onto it too long, but I'd also like to have a little bit of time with it so I can give it a good look over (and knock the cobwebs out of my brain when it comes to this sort of thing). But I have a feeling it won't need any tinkering. ;-)

[identity profile] the4thjuliek.livejournal.com 2015-01-24 10:07 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it does! Anyway, I'll send it as soon as I'm done, but would about 5-6 days be alright with you?

[identity profile] ms-geekette.livejournal.com 2015-01-24 10:54 pm (UTC)(link)
Sorry, had to stack some (really shitty quality) firewood and am taking a break. Uh, not sure what you mean by 5-6 days...I definitely won't need to keep it that long. Or is that when you plan on sending it? Or is that the full turn around time you are aiming for - you finishing it, sending it to me for a look-over, me sending it back to you, and doing any final touches you wanna do? XD I don't really care but I might be unavailable one day this week (need to run some errands, do a library run and won't be around a computer/the internet).

[identity profile] the4thjuliek.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 08:34 am (UTC)(link)
Sorry, I went to bed XD

I meant 5-6 days for you to look over the thing, in case you're busy.

[identity profile] ms-geekette.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 08:48 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, I won't need to keep it that long. I am aiming for a day turnaround, but I guess I won't be sure until I see it. Well, unless you'd prefer that I sleep on it and ponder it a bit longer...I can do that if you'd like.

~Be at one with your personal statement.~ XD

[identity profile] the4thjuliek.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 08:58 am (UTC)(link)
It's up to you, really! Anything's fine with me as long as it's not gonna take too much of your time :)

Lmao this kills me every time!

We will be forever curious at the events that resulted in this pic, I have to say.

Dead @ Wenger's Nearly Signed XI. Where is the lie?

[identity profile] itsacoco.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 05:51 am (UTC)(link)
Didn't Wenger nearly sign Cris ages ago? Like, he discovered Cris before Sir Alex did but in the end, it was United who snagged him up? What an AU that would have been.

[identity profile] the4thjuliek.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 08:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yup! Jorge Mendes scuffed it up, that bastard.

[identity profile] ananasonastick.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 08:02 am (UTC)(link)
Is this nearly signed XI real or just a joke?

Zlatan?

[identity profile] marsyke.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 08:49 am (UTC)(link)
If you google Wenger almost signed, there are other names too; Bale, Vertonghen, Mata, Joey Barton (lol), Drogba, Eto'o, Alonso, ...

He apparentely invited Zlatan for a trial before he went to Ajax.

[identity profile] the4thjuliek.livejournal.com 2015-01-25 08:56 am (UTC)(link)
And Yaya Touré did play with us for a while but getting the work permit was a problem!

And I'm glad (who wouldn't be?) that we didn't get Joey Barton, lol.
