IOAG I'll perform a little jig when the deal is announced I can't believe Arsenal are about to smash their transfer record by about 300% to sign a genuine world star, but it's the result of nearly a decade of prudence and Wenger has to take a lot of credit for keeping the club competitive in that time (still think he could have done a lot better though)

Don't be too disheartened, I'm sure CR MkII - sorry Bale - will prove a hit with the fans

You pig Peks

Hi Saint

What do you make of JM's transfer dealings so far?

Javier Aquino will destroy Bale's debut.

Must admit though, it's DD and Arsenal are taking a hell of a lot of time on this Ozil deal.

Expected it to b complete by now. It had only taken Milan a few hours to get Kaka back in again.

The Kaka deal was in the process for at least a week though.

Kaka joined at 8:25 this morning but they wrapped up a deal in a matter of hours as they agreed an undisclosed fee yesterday evening and they agreed personal terms this morning. It was completed within 5 hours in total I'd say.

Özil is better than Bale and Arsenal are paying half what Bale costs. Brilliant.

Hi guys

Meanwhile, we've signed the big Czech striker Libor Kozak for around £4m. (Despite the media insisting it's 5-7m)

Quite an old player by our standards (24) but still young and is going to be a back-up/occasional strike partner for Benteke.

Not a bad signing, though a lot of Villa fans are throwing their toys out of the pram as they want an attacking midfielder..

Do you want Bendtner? He has experience on the wing and bench.

Well the deadline is closing in. Still no Ozil deal yet, could it be too little too late? However, they are getting closer. A small Twitter Report (obviously not true, but he does work closely to Arsenal) says that Arsenal's £42.5M bid for Ozil is essentially done and dusted as it is being processed and to be confirmed within the next couple of hours.

MAKE IT OFFICIAL FFS!! I HAVE BEEN A NERVOUS WREAK THE PAST 24 HOURS!!

Hold me, anyone

My first comment on the new 13-14 season la liga thread

Two deals, however, have been finalised by Atletico Madrid. As reported earlier today, Diego Simeone's team have now confirmed the signings of defender Toby Alderweireld and midfielder Josuha Guilavogui from Ajax and St Etienne respectively."

Couple of shrewd signing tho will it be enough for Atletico to mount a serious title challenge.

Wumpatrol, Since no one else offered to mate.

Alderweireld was confirmed hours ago.

I knew I could count on you. The Ozil thing IS DRIVING ME CRAAAYYZY!
