Obviously this is not the Arsenal transfer list. Presented here is a list of players linked to Arsenal by the British media over the past week, not a month or year just last week between Tuesday 23rd June and Monday 29th June. It’s just to show how far off the mainstream media is in their journalism.

Nothing to report? we'll just make it up then.

Before jumping to the list have a guess at how many players there are.

That’s right 40 players linked to Arsenal in 1 week!

I’m sure there’s more but 40 seems a nice number, some of these are laughable.

I always knew that the general technique was to through up a bunch of possible transfer targets hope one stick and claim the exclusive but this is taking the biscuit.

Why can’t the journos take their time do a little research and come up with real news, like they are paid to do. Leave the rumour and conjecture to amateurs like us.

It seems to work the other way around, they write the crap, we write the facts.

When there’s nothing to write about we could just not post, for a newspaper that is impossible so better to make things up.

Let’s see how many of those Arsenal will actually sign, if we sign any.
