2011/12 Barclay's Premier League Thread

Young Chu Park is a done deal Santos having a medical and talks ongoing with Werder Bremen over Per Mertesacker.
Don't know why we leave it so long...

you sure park is a done deal? hes not on arsenals player list?
interesting to note he would have to leave in 2013 for two years to fulfill his compulsary military duty...
hargreaves to city? this right after they had a bid for van bommel rejected. must be looking at a replacement for yaya since he'll be absent later this year for the ANC.

Hargreaves apparently undergoing Manchester City medical now..

 

[sgt_pepper]

/\/\ medical is already done...

 

[rishgoon]

Park a done deal, not official. Hearing terms agreed on Mertesacker now too. At £10m, can see why reluctant to bid more for Cahill.

That's not to say Cahill deal is off...

Park official.

Ok Cahill deal is off. Likely to leave on a free at end of season now.

/\/\ nice move on park...will it be enough attack tho?

 

[rishgoon]

Park a nice addition. Up front was the least of our concerns I think, as scoring hasn't really been a problem. Defence looking much stronger, not sure if a back four of Santos-Vermaelen-Mertesacker-Sagna would've let 8 goals through...
Just a midfielder to add now

How did he pass a medical?? Man U let him go at the end of last season did they not?

 

[Warney]

yeah fergie let him go last year, but hes been working hard and he even posted videos of himself on youtube, training for interested managers, showing his knees were alright.

youve still got a problem with depth. and since arsenal are always injured its more important than for most.
and im not sure id say youre scoring isnt a problem. 2 goals in 3 games, and apart from RVP you got nothing...until gervinho proves himself.
definately need at least another mid-fielder. preferably someone whos already ready to jump in at top level and perform well...
dont mean for this to sound anti-arsenal/wenger. i really hope they stay strong. my fave team in the top flight.
