Real Sociedad striker Carlos Vela, who has been linked with a summer return to Arsenal, says that he never enjoyed his time with the Gunners.
"I never felt comfortable in London and I never enjoyed it, however, when I got to Sociedad, I found a place where I was very happy, where I'm enjoying myself every day."

Please let this happen.
booooo!! are they sure? we'll give them glen johnson?
So it's being widely reported that we've made a final £25m bid for Lallana, which I'm pretty sure they'll accept.
Echo is also saying that Moreno is likely to happen.
So Moreno, Lallana, and Lambert in before the World Cup.
Possibly Lovren and Can to follow. I think we could also do with going for Shaqiri too, but that might be wishful thinking.
Barrett is also saying that Borini will probably be sold to Sunderland for £12m. Would be a good deal that.

Check out Buzz Killington <_<
I'm not really sure we need a 4th striker. Certainly not compared to a second winger, because Sterling is the only one we have.
Now I'm not sure if that's a joke, or you're mocking the thread lol
That's a good point, maybe someone who can play both.
If we must! 😀
Yes, very refreshing. It'll be a huge benefit having our new signings going through a full preseason with us also!
You can't just say that and leave! We're all very vulnerable.
Most of the sources are saying we're paying a premium to wrap up the Lallana deal before the WC, but I have no idea why we're in such a hurry. I can't see a good performance doing any more than justifying the fee we paid at best, and that would be off a stellar performance.
If we wait it out, especially to the point where Southampton are obligated to sell him after all the deals they've done, we'll get a much better deal. Plus with our large contingent on his international squad, he'll likely be more interested in making the transfer happen, helping us negotiate a much better fee.
The deals we should be wrapping up are players are the ones whose fees could increase a ton with a good performance. That's chiefly Shaqiri, and possibly Alexis. Granted, I can't see us signing all three of these players, but the logic still holds. Shaqiri especially could have his value skyrocket with a good performance.
You could argue that a strong performance could also make Moreno a target for every major club out there, which makes sense why he's a priority target. But I can't see Lallana ballooning into a 35M or 40M player who every club would love, even with a fantastic WC performance. And by the sounds of things, we're the only club who's seriously interested in him, which makes it even more bizarre that we're willing to pay whatever price Southampton want, especially before a major tournament that will at best justify the price tag.

I'd be very surprised if Spurs don't come in for him. IF they don't then that says one of three things a) they have no cash until they sell b) MP doesn't rate him as much as we do or c) they already think his price is beyond his value. If it's a) then that would explain why we want to get this done early.
Or (d) they already have a ton of midfielders, so until Pochetinno gets to see them a little in training, he can't decide yet if he wants to bring in another or spend the money where they need better quality / reliability (e.g. strikers and defenders).
That'd be excellent if we can get the 5 of them in before the WC. Wonder who'll be going though and if we'll have to cover them off.
