And according to Jeremy Wrey on the radiobox a minute ago.

Just been confirmed by Jeremy Wray on the radio.

Edit:  As Batch just said

Decent enough for a loan deal. Squad sorted now i think.

He hasn't even got a Wikipedia page. Can't be that good.

For those on Twitter - Boateng can be found at http://twitter.com/#!/SeriousDan_7 (http://twitter.com/#!/SeriousDan_7)

Expect to see an Arsenal view on their reserves skipper joining Town later this week on The Washbag.

Also... how long has he signed on loan for? 3 months, til' Xmas or til' May?

I don't think it was said how long, something along the lines as if he's getting games he can stay stay on loan. could have heard wrong though

I think most Arsenal fans are feeling pretty sore about losing Cesc and Samir to Barcelona and Man City but deep down none of them can argue when the mighty.....

A good point well made....it's unusual for us to get a player from Arsenal....it's usually Spurs.

The only one I can think of is Jo Osei Kuffour. Don't think they've ever forgiven us for turning them over in 1911.

Not forgeting 69 and 79.

Not joining till Monday now according to Gary Rose. Wenger wants him to play in a Arsenal reserve game on Saturday.

Sounds like a fantastic prospect.

a left sided defender - full of enthusiasm - I would put him in the Jon Gittens mould of defenders ... sometimes makes mistakes but will give us a good option on the left side with Comazzi currently injured and Kennedy unchallenged

Sadly for you, Fred is coming to kick your bollocks off.

 :D

I know nothing about the lad. Hope he's a good un. Don't think Wenger would send a highly rated player out to a basement div club, but who knows?

2 pages and not even a you tube clip of a FM11 screenshot.

firstly, is Dex/Strooooooooood still around and secondly is he still involved with Arsenals youth/reserves teams - I think he used to write the match reports a few years back?

answers on a postcard.

Isn't he called Peacock's lucky coat now ?

Or did I imagine that ?

Might not get him at all the way Arsenal are defending against Man U!

Yeah they are shit

And now three. This could be a Rugby score, easily.

Bad day for North London v the Manchester clubs. After a game and a half, the aggregate score is 8-2 to Manchester.

my lad is at the game sat in the man u end(he's a gooner) Bet he's enjoying it  ;) What a shower of shite arses back 4 are

8-2. Run of the mill game.

When we got hammered by Forest 7-1 (Benjamin, offside) we had a laugh because knew we were shit and going down.

This must be a hell of a shock for the gooners.

I'd have got a game for Arsenal today.

All of you lot to.

Time to tell Wenger to pull his finger out and sign some proven quality or fuck off.

8-2 and Utd could've scored double. Arsenal are in shambles as their manager refuses to spend big money...and there is only 3 days to the end of the transfer window.

Could be fun tweeting Piers Morgan tonight !!

Wenger will be sacked. No way he will survive after this. One or 2 more bad results and he is off.

I think he'll resign instead.

I think he'll get time to make some signings and see how they do before any action is considered. Its a poor three games for the gunners, but the board can't expect him to work miracles after selling their best two midfielders with no replacements coming in.

He's only got 3 days to make some signings...

But everybody seemed to know Fabregas was going, so why wasn't a player signed ready?

Wenger sounded like a guy in denial on the SSN interview.

To be fair,
With Arsenal in seeming free fall it seems unlikely they would let their "Reserve team captain" leave on loan?
Unless the whole reason its been delayed is because they are looking to sign someone before the window shuts if unsuccessful Boateng will step up?

There could only be 3 hours to deadline day and they could still sign 3 players. What's your point?

He could make signings before one or two bad results.

I think IOB took your post too literally, I think you meant have time to sign some players and see how they do and if they will make a positive impact.

Wenger did have 11 players missing today. He wont walk, neither will he get sacked

I'm sure I've read Wenger has been sitting on a large pile of cash for some time that is reserved for buying players but he refuses to spend it. The lack of signings is solely down to Wenger's buying policy and fuck all to do with the board.

Arsenal have got no chance of competing with Chelsea and Man City, but if you look at the players Liverpool and Man Utd have been buying over the summer it shows there is quality in their price range and you really have to wonder why the fuck Wenger wasn't in for some of them.

Oh yeah, I did mean that. Sorry IOB.


Well yes I agree, as per my previous "I think Wenger is overrated" posts (in another thread). However in this case he has the valid argument of 2 good players being sold, and injuries (as Arriba pointed out).

If he hasn't made signings in 3 days time, or if the signings are duds then Arsenal will be in for a disappointing season. Though I don't think the Fatbury school of "we could go down" panic should apply.

Bit worried about this fella coming.

If thats how Arsenal teach to defend, then were fucked ;)

I think Tevez will join Arsenal

I think you may have imagined it.

He asked Danny Wilson what he'd do in the same situation.

Seeing that the Boateng deal may still come to fruition by the end of the week I've got an Arsenal view on our hopeful loan signing:
