(The not-so-temporary quite-official) Gooner Thread

He's in the Ox mould in that he can play out wide, or centrally with loung busting runs. I'd happily have someone of his quality and versatility.

Debuchy and Sanchez deals sounding like they are done.

Apparently Sanchez has flown into London for a medical.

Blame me if this gets higuain'ed!

Hope it's true but refuse to believe until an official announcement from the club. Been through it too many times.

I have 11am on Friday in my diary for when the official kit launch happens in London. Hoping this is also when we see some announcements too.

yeah was reading that last night before going to bed....i find everything hard to believe untill its offical

Not sure if this was ever mentioned by this is a great show of intent by Arsenal to get on top of our injury problems, hopefully this guy can contribute nicely.

Speaking of the new kit, anyone going to the event in Auckland?

I know there's been trillions of leaks, but this looks very legit

Some talk that Remy will be following Debuchy and Sanchez as well now.

Has Arsene been replaced by a long-lost twin? What is going on! 

Remy as the only forward signing would be another playing for 4th place signing. Happy enough with it in addition to Sanchez though. But let's not get too carried away just yet. No signings have been announced and we go through this every year. Wouldn't be surprised if we're still scrambling and quibbling over the price for these 3 on deadline day.

Not sure about "Future Forever Victorious." Puma's random word generator at work. Love the away kit, that's classic Arsenal away colours. None of the white or blue nonsense we've seen in past seasons. Haven't bought the home shirt since 2009, and that was when I found it 50% off in London, so quite tempted to get the first Puma version.

Argh, not sure how to get it show the full thing, here's the link:

The only problem I have is apparently Puma kits are a "LOT" more form fitting. Need to buy it several sizes larger than I normally would to fit the belly in.

Word on BBC and TalkShite is that Arsene has been interviewed and has stated that Sanchez deal is to be completed on Wed (yoyo time). That's tonight!! Still searching for a link to this supposed interview... Again, plenty of time for a Higuain'ing...

Do they come in XXXXXL?

Yes the consumer versions will have to be sized slightly differently to the player versions! Probably worth finding it in a store here to try for size then order it cheaper from the UK.

would love to have remy, for 8milli it would be great value. Good finisher with good pace

That would be immense. Hopefully he still stumps for a DMF/CB.

read today that Nike say no to the Chq Book Champs.

"asking for to much.."

I think I'll pick up one of the large crest t-shirts in red (the one Rambo is wearing) at the same time as the new home shirt

I liked the black one someone posted a few weeks back

sadly I can't see it on this page

Apparently we're sniffing around for Reud again.Westham offering him 75K a week to stay.

.....and by Rued I mean Reid

i would LOVE to have reid

Can we sign sanchez already please......all the reports of unveiling and medicals are killing me

Yup, can we just announce Sanchez, Debuchy, Remy, Bender and Reid by close of business please?

Wenger will confirm sanchez later today!!

apparently we are trying to line up remy sanchez and debaucy in time for the offical Puma launch

oh man would that be awesome

yip it would be pretty unreal....IF we do get remy i reckon we should send gnabry out on loan

Not a bad idea at all.

We may actually be running the gauntlet a bit here with the squad rules. Correct me if I'm wrong, but we can only have 25 players over 21 in our EPL squad?

Need to run some numbers but in the 2x elevens a couple of pages back there were 25 over 21 already. And that didn't include Coquelin. 

If we're going to buy a DMF and a CB over 21, then Vermaelen and perhaps another one or two may have to go. 

Miyaichi and Coquelin you would think would be the most likely.

And if we sign Remy and Sanchez then I wonder about Podolski.........

i love Podolski and it shooting is something we really need but he does seem to be hit and miss with form really.

Id rather have lukas than remy. Buying remy and sanchez seems a lil strange to me. But in wenger we trust

Yep, have you seen the teams with Puma kits at the world cup? Absurdly tight. Will hug the ab for sure (yes. singular.)

Then this will kill you some more... below article posted on Barca's website then quickly pulled down again... 

oh jesus. come on! lets get this over the line already!! 

i keep hearing that barca are waiting until the cannibal deal is over the line before releasing him

Jeepers! how long will this go on for.

Either someone with a replica/photoshop site or they did a Phoenix with McGlinchey

It's done

Patience is a virtue

I don't think Remy is heading our way, not sure where that smoke is from. 

End result = we sign Remy and not Sanchez :)

I'm refusing to get excited until there's an official announcement. Been through it too many times when it was supposed to be all done then as pen was about to touch paper someone else came in with more money and we refused to match it. Not putting myself through it again.

Just spoke to Arsene. He's very happy about Sanchez and Debuchy
