Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

[Olivier's xmas twist]

I ask this every transfer window ... and I always forget the answer by the next transfer window - but how exactly does it work if you're signing (or selling) a player to or from a European country where they are 1 or 2 hours ahead of GMT?

Or is it a generic time all over this year?

You could have asked for a delay in time by Uefa/the Fa, to get all the papaer work in.

[KESSLER]

Are we getting Yossi and Arteta or just one?

Both yossi on loan and Mikel on a perminant deal

Looks like both are on, Yossi on a year loan, Arteta on a full transfer.

Arsenal sign Mertesacker

rippy4 on Twitter: "Arteta is a top signing for Arsenal! Can't help feeling Wenger has got him for a snip at £10m" Arsenal supporter woof67 on the Mikel Arteta deal on Twitter: (http://twitter.com/woof67) "I'm an Arsenal fan. I am thrilled with this! 2 hours ago it seemed we had no chance. I love how quick things can change!"
Everton fan peterwdj on Twitter: (http://twitter.com/peterwdj) "Time for Ross Barkley to step up."
Everton fan rrengland3 on Twitter: (http://twitter.com/rrengland3) "I'm not too concerned about Arteta. We have Rodwell, Coleman and Barkley coming through and he's our highest earner."
Chief football writer Phil McNulty (http://twitter.com/philmcnulty) on Twitter: "The fee for Mikel Arteta's move to Arsenal will be £10m. Everton resigned to him leaving."
2145: Everton fans: how are you feeling about Mikel Arteta right now. Arsenal fans: same question. Let me know.

2137: Mikel Arteta also told me (a fortnight ago): "I am happy here, I always have been. I want to aim to win trophies, play in the Champions League and keep doing better and better." I guess moving to Arsenal takes care of the Champions League part of those ambitions, doesn't it?

why did he not give it to Wilshere tbh, players wearing 4 should be tekkers.

[Gubby Allen]

Also dont count out getting Sol in again. Hes a free agent so we can get him after 11pm as well

Apparently Sol cannot transfer at the moment as he got injured ... you guessed it, training with Arsenal this week.

Neither Arteta or Yossi done yet. We'll know the deals are solid when the stretchers and bandages come out.

[Maestro]

:pal: @ us ...if you put it that way then. Best of a very bad situation me thinks, but things could have and should have been handled much better by the manager and the club as a whole. As usual we, the fans, now have to assume the position and get fucked again.

I thought Yakubu had retired. How ****ing old is he now?

i mean yossi and arteta as replacements for cesc and nasri is disgusting, however, im pleased by the fact that they are premiership players. too often have promising players from leagues abroad have not been able to cut it in england,

Good point cause that is always a worry. Per, Santos and Poss Arteta are coming in to start so the team gelling is all important.

I think we have less talent on the pitch but hopefully we can adapt our game to the players we now have, it is paramount to get our rythm and some semblance of good form and consistency back.

Paperwork is being readied for Arteta

[Coney]

The transfer deadline closes at 11 GMT for clubs in England and Scotland but I think for other countries in Europe it is for another hour, so could Meireles leave for elsewhere in Europe?

Can't be - if that was the case, the deadline would be midnight BST.

[Ironing]

WHAT FUCKING TIME IS IT

ARRRRRRRRRRRRRGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

*In geordie accent* Benayoun man!

...

I've officially lost it

[Coney]

No - but it could be CET.

[cheesy bites]

[Ralpheroo72]

Benayoun on loan? Wouldnt mind finding out what the board have done with the other 50M quid we have made from transfers?

[Marc Overmars]

IIRC, Arteta is Wenger's first significant (cash) signing from the Prem since Franny Jeffers and only the 4th player we've signed from this league in 10 years!

[Ironing]

sky sports clock out by 20 seconds

Well, OK then, but you could be more polite.

[Keith]

This is all bullshit anyway, Telegraph said earlier it's all done by Fifa software now.

[Cripps_orig]

[cheesy bites]

Well, OK then, but you could be more polite.

I announce the close of the window.

[Gubby Allen]

Bad news for Villa fans. The Jermaine Jenas transfer went though in time.

Up for me, with Benny on the home page.

Disgrace, Arsenal.com down again

Always happens when someone faxes the club - could be good(ish) news, could be Arteta fax. As soon as that call ends, web service will be back. You need to be bloody patient, btw.

I can see it. The headline says we've signed Messi.

[Marc Overmars]

So we have 5 newbies to rebuild the squad and a shit load to spare to boost the accounts.

Yay.

Lol @ Nik for spending all summer looking for a club and then taking whatever he could on the last day.

Maybe this will wind that huge ego in.
