An image of Mourinho, Woodward and apparently Cech's agent meeting today.

Hopefully the Jackson Martinez rumours are true. Not really seen much of him but if he bangs in goals at least it'd stop the stockholm syndrome for people who think Giroud is a good striker.

Yeah I don't mind him as a backup striker as he gives us a completely different option and would have great impact coming off the bench. But some people on an Arsenal forum believe that he's better than fucking Lewandowski and Diego Costa.
Hopefully we can get Jackson, don't think we've got any chance of getting someone like Benzema.

Think I'd prefer Jackson than the Cavani we've seen over the last couple of years. Everytime I've seen him play he has been absolutely wank.

Both would be an improvement on Giroud. I think Arsenal need to be looking at a new CB too, and a proper DM.
I realise Coquelin is doing the business now but I think they're a world class DM, CB and ST from EPL winners/CL possible winners.
Based Jorge
And I agree on a CB. Koscielny for me is the 2nd best CB in the Prem behind Terry, but Mertesacker, although great alongside him is still a worry. Gabriel has looked excellent whenever he plays so hopefully he can make the step up but I think we won't be in the market for one as we have them 3 and Chambers who will be a CB.
I also think we need another World Class winger, especially if Theo leaves. Oxlade-Chamberlain is fantastic but he's still young, if we ever managed to sign someone like Reus then push Alexis to the left then there's no reason why we shouldn't be challenging for the title next season. But tbh I expect at least a title push next season regardless of what happens in the market.

Why?

All I said is that it would be the sort of offer I'd be happy to see accepted if we're going to sell to Arsenal. I wouldn't be selling Cech there on the cheap. And if what was reported the other day is true, it's something that has been suggested Chelsea want if we're going to sell a top player to a direct rival- wanting a good player back in return. Cech's age is rather irrelevant given his position. He could still potentially have another 5+ years of top quality football left in him. Of course, if Arsenal don't want a top keeper then they can continue to persist with what they've got, doesn't phased me.

I'm not too sure if I'm overly bothered. I look at more in the sense of how would be we strengthening a direct rival. Cech for De Gea wouldn't alter much in an overall sense, so there's probably little gained for Man Utd. If he went to Arsenal then that's a different story. He'd be a clear improvement on anything they've currently got and would solve an area they've struggled with for a bit now. Which is why I think trying to get someone like Walcott or Ox would help balance the scales.
I would say that remaining in London would give Arsenal the slight edge.

Mourinho doesn't think like that though, otherwise why would he have sold Mata to United. Doesn't seem to care about selling players to rivals
.verse
Selling Mata wasn't bad business. He didn't fit into Mourinho's system due to his lack of athleticism and defensive capabilities, thus found himself on the bench. Getting £37m for him was something we'd probably not have gotten from anyone else at the time, so it made sense. While Man Utd weren't going to be a immediate threat at the time, so it minimised the risk of having him come back to trouble us. All those points played a part in why we sold him to a rival, particularly that transfer fee.
As much as I love Mata, he's not lived up to the £37m price tag yet. Which is understandable given he was probably never worth that much to begin with.

Apparently the rumours started from a familiar Chilean ITK who did the same with Vidal last season.
