The Corporal has officially moved to Nottingham Forest. Been with the club for 15 years and as a Gooner always gave 100% for the club he loved.

He's also the last part of our "British core" to leave:

Seems I got my lines crossed somehow: we have until 5PM TOMORROW to get our new defender(s) in.

£30mil bid from Everton for Iwobi rejected. We'll let him go for £40mil apparently.

pepe is a true winger, I always saw iwobi as more of an wide playmaker think rosicky/nasri/wiltord/ljungberg, atleast that's what wenger was trying to achieve with him
And failed to.

Thing is Iwobi actually shines down the middle - he plays like a number 10 for Nigeria. But, he's more than surplus at Arsenal - our midfield is loaded as far as attacking players go at the moment. I say we sell him and throw the money at a real defender.

while I agree, were really light on that left wing and were already playing a striker out of postion there, if Iwobi goes we won't even have a backup to that :unsure:

Welbeck has finally found a club: Watford. Wish him all the best there. Always gave everything on the field - when he was fit.

At least a bit of a clear out. Too bad no one seems to want Mustafi. Suppose it's easier to just leave him there and use him as your 12th player when you face arsenal.

Everton want Iwobi, better offer expected tomorrow.

Luiz wants to leave Chelsea and link up with Emery, his former manager at PSG. Will be a good fit I think, probable captain, plus he and Guendozi can swop hairdo secrets

This late in the window, I'd actually take him. Would probably only get a 2 year deal at his age, but it's good enough. Though, he still has 2 years left on his Chelsea contract so may he pricey. Unlike our other CB targets he at least has a lot of PL experience so can slot straight in (ahead of Mustafi).

Tierney is also apparently done, too.
