Sunday mirror claims we are still pursuing Pennant and are keeping tabs on Hyppia, Harewood and Andrew Surman a winger from the Saints, also claim that netball team from london err cant think of the name er ARSE er yes Arseholes are preparing a £6 million bid for Ledley, he really isnt that good, is he ?

News from family in Liverpool suggests Pennant will be off but Bolton favourites....and they can have the big time charlie. Hypia...surely we dont need another defender although he is quality.Harewood and Surman would be ok

Surman would be a great signing. Still gutted we didn't get Ledley, esspecially as it looks like we'll miss out on him now. Seems to me the price wasn't the problem with The Blueturds, just the club offering it.

Surman - Not a GREAT Signing tbh. Another over rated Championship player who would do well for us in the Championship.

We are trying to sort out a loan deal for Manucho from Man Utd in Jan. Interestingly according to todays Mirror, so are the Baggies!

I don't understand the Hyppia move, we already have too many centre backs, hes old and now not very good.
More chance of signing Jermaine Jackson than Pennant!

hyppia is decent, just i hope he is leaving because hes not in their champions league squad and therefore annoyed, ie for cheap. surly we wouldnt pay loads for him?

Hyppia was poor in the league cup the other night, looked totally disinterested, slow and even a little embarrassed to be playing with the reserves against Spurs. I don't think he would be any better than Faye, Shawcross or even Sonko on the pitch, maybe his experience around the dressing room would help? Having said that team spirit isn't a problem, one reason why I wouldn't want Pennant either.

I was at the Southampton Wolves game yesterday. Before you ask why - although working most Saturdays until 1pm, I can get to the ground for 3pm, as I live 20 miles away and I went with a friend who a Wolves fan.
Anyway, Southampton were by far the better side in the second half despite having only 10 men and with luck would have got at least a draw. Their passing game really was good to watch and Andrew Surman was at the centre of it, playing in the centre rather than on the left. Is he good enough for the Premiership? Don't know. Possibly a bit lightweight for a Pulis player, but he would certainly provide much needed balance on the left hand side. I would buy him, but I'm not in charge. He impressed last season at St Mary's against us as well! If we did buy Surman, would Pulis play, or would it be a similar situation as Tom Soares.
As for Michael Manicine, the Chelsea player on loan at Wolves, looked impressive in an otherwise shaky Wolves defence.

Dont think we ever were in for Harewood would be a good signing... Not fussed on Pennant Prefer Soares tbh
Hypia I dont want just isant good enough anymore and to slow..
As for Surman is a good player and one for the futcher...
Dare i say it but i think we could go in for Zigic on loan for the rest of the season with a view to a buy.. Think we could still get Ledley as well As wernt Arse and everton ment to be in for him before...
As for outs.. Got to get rid of Pericard.. Buxton.. Cressa (just not good enough).. Wilko (perm) -can see going and Dicko on loan for 1st team action
Also if were after another keeper can see simmo being Sacrificed...

Out will go Whelan when the manager has a natural midfielder on the bench and brings on a forward to play in midfield i think you know your time is up. I like what Tone has done for us so far but he don't half make some odd subs.

I think with this one, Ledley has to consider whether he plays football week in week out and continues to get called up to the Wales squad, or plays in Wengers Cup and Reserve side on a less regular basis. |

Watching MOTD yesterday, Camara looked sharp and has bags of pace - provided Heskey doesn't walk in Jan we could have a chance of getting him?

We wanted him on a season long loan but he got an injury (broken bone in foot I think) hopefully it will be sorted from January |

In order for him to get regular first team football though, surely Arsene would consider letting us have him on loan until the end of the season.  |
