QPR sign goalkeeper Trani. Apparently Warnock picked him up on holiday in Thailand by mistake but was pleasantly surprised by how well he handled his balls.
Has a novel way of distributing the ball as well.

Right so Arsenal are now after Arteta and Augusto. This is turning into an interesting deadline day for us. Must be boring for the caf though.

I'm pretty sure pete's said he didn't think Arteta was good enough for you before, so on that basis it's keeping me interested. It's almost like Arsene is trying to spite him.

Damn you Ferguson and your presence of mind. Completing all your transfers months in advance, you bastard!
I think it's fair to say Pete's summer shopping list would not have comprised 'Sack of Merde', a Brazilian fullback, Arteta and a bloke named Park...
Have you seen what Pete thinks about Mertesacker?
For what it's worth, I don't rate Arteta that highly - think he's a bit over-rated to be honest, but as a squad player he's more than good.

Can't speak for the other members here, but I get a vicarious thrill watching Arsenal sell their best players during the Summer then replacing them with inferior ones in a mad, last minute Supermarket Sweep-esque rush.
Anything in this Delap to Arsenal rumour?

Arteta will be a poor signing for the Arse imo
Nothing he can offer more than the current players they have now
Well whoever we sign will be inferior to Fabregas to be honest. I would have preferred us to 'do a United' this summer, but now's better than never.
Hadn't thought of that - Stoke in for Zigic too?Why? Stoke are in the process of setting up their dream connection of Delap-to-Crouch.
Christ, I'd love the opportunity to disappoint Georgie Thompson sexually.
Hmm. Underwhelming transfers for Arsenal, overall.
I worry about United without Fergie. I'm not a transfer muppet but we've needed a fecknig midfielder for 2 bloody years and it's only through the absolute genius of Sir Alex that we're in the position we are. Would any other manager in the world have been able to cope with an obvious lack of funds being made available?
We've spent money but we've made some of it back, have saved a shit load on wages through released/retired/sold players wages and as a club we make £300million revenue a year so I'm not entirely 'wowed' by the money spent on our 3 all be it excellent signings this summer.
He's better than Rosicky and will at least try.
My fear for you is that it's all way too late. It'll take time to hit the ground running as you can't simply take 3 or 4 players and chuck them into the team and expect it to automatically click. By the time it starts to come together (if it does and these signing make a difference) your rivals for the top four could be long gone - you're already 6 and 8 points off as it stands. One saving grace I suppose is that you've already played two of your so called rivals for the top four.
He's got more balls than anyone else in their midfield bar Wilshere. Plus he'd add a bit of experience into the team.Arteta will be a poor signing for the Arse imo
