Only 10 Minutes

Till Deadline Day really starts, when Jim White starts his shift.

He's the only guy who can make a rumour of Peter Crouch possibly going to Stoke sound like the oncoming of the sodding apocalypse...

He is class, I've even got the wife watching!

I will tune in at half 10 when it really gets interesting

We've just got Yossi Benayoun.

Just waiting on Arteta now

I'm not sure Benayoun is the man that will relight Arsenal, Arteta though would be a cracking signing IF it gets done and really for Arsenal's sake it needs to get done!

‎2 minutes to get the paper work through for Arteta

£12 million rumoured fee for Crouch?!?!

Arteta Yes or No ????????????

It is a horrible wait now lol

lol if the Merieles transfer got done in 15mins we must have got him

It's been confirmed on BBC Sport

Quote :

2310: Confirmed: Chelsea have signed Raul Meireles. And Arsenal have signed Mikel Arteta and let Nicklas Bendtner join Sunderland on loan. Phew.

Bosch are you watching Sky Sports News? If so at the Emirates is that Pascal Cygan in the background on the left?!?

he does look alot like him now you say

Im gutted that Artetas left especially to another English club but the guys a legend around here and he'll most likely be great for the Arse but it has to be said hes been out of form for the best part of two years now and was on 70k a week (something we as a club who havnt got 2 pennies to rub together simply cannot afford) and 10 million, it isnt a bad deal for us if we can keep Felliani fit, who imo is a better player and thats me being honest and not just because Arteta is leaving.

Mikel Arteta is officially a ARSENAL player YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAY!!!!!!

Jimmy, heard something interesting earlier on TalkSport that apparently your chairman identified 4 players who were key never to sell; Howard, Jagielka, Baines and Felliani so I think he is well thought of within the club. Still youngish too?

for me its what arsenal need with yossi and Wilshere and Ramsey i think that's a pretty good midfield and our deference has strengthened as well

Jimmy what do you think of beckford ?

as my brother supports leeds and his Favorite player is beckford

Song? He seems like a pretty solid player? Who do you think will partner Mertesacker?

yes song is strong but he has the african cup of nations and it has to be our strongest defender the Vermaelen

and yes i think beckford went to Leicester City

cant help but feel yossi is gonna be a fantastic little player for arsenal

and yeah beckford went for 4m
