Hope he breaks into the first team soon

If you haven't seen them yet you should definitely watch Jack Wilshere's two goals for England. And then start drooling at the prospect of him doing that for Arsenal next season:

Yes, I know it's Goal.com, but it's actual quotes from Santi denying the Atletico rumors nonsense:

So, I hear Arsenal have fallen for the old Nigerian Prince email thing?

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

It's old news. Dangote has said he wants to buy the club for years now, and he has yet to do a thing. And that's assuming Kroenke would even want to sell.

According to Sky, we've agreed personal terms with Cech but are still far apart from Chelsea on the actual transfer fee. I am all for bringing in Cech, as I've wanted a top-class goalkeeper for years, but not if it comes at the expense of a world class striker or DM. If Chelsea ultimately want too much, either move on to a new keeper or stick with Ospina.

The Guardian is also now talking it up. I'm actually starting to believe it might happen.

It would be a great first signing of this Summer. Arsenal with an actual #1 who isn't still trying to show everyone he can perform just as well in matches as he does in training? The thought of that...mmmm.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

At most we'll pay 14-15 million which is fine for Cech. If this happens I will be very happy. I think we will get a striker and DM but we needed a new keeper. I'm not convinced Ospina is the one to lead us to a title and we all know about Szczesny's issues. Cech will bring a professionalism and leadership that we need. I'm completely behind this signing.

Looks like the Mirror says 11 million. Good deal I say. I would have loved for us to get Khedira. Schneiderlein would be a nice addition though and for a striker, maybe Reus. This is me just rambling names at this point

Sad to see him go and end up in Arsenal colors but he didn't want to uproot his family from London. I can respect that. Wish him nothing but the best except for us.

Awesome job to get this done in June.

The Cech deal final yet, can't say I believe it until he is holding an Arsenal shirt with Wenger.

I think I'm also going to need a "clever" Mourinho quote to go with it.

Re: ***The Official Arsenal Gunners" Thread***

Deal imminent. 10.9 million quid agreed between the clubs we have a world class keeper!

That's a great price, and we didn't give them the homegrown player they wanted.

Now go get a DM and striker, Arsene!
