[Arsenal Respond To Fans With A 65 Million Gamble ] Arsenal go into panic mode as Wenger plans a £65 million pound late gamble Arsenal have developed a reputation for doing their business late in the summer transfer window, landing Mikel Arteta, Per Mertesacker and Andre Santos all on deadline day in 2011. Now they plan to pull off another simultaneous swoop, sparked by Monday’s rejected £12 million offer for Newcastle midfielder Cabaye, per The Telegraph, which drew the wrath of Magpies boss Alan Pardew. Newcastle are “bracing themselves for an improved offer,” according to Brown, who also claims the Arsenal defence will be bolstered by two £10 million deals for Swansea’s Williams and Manchester City’s Richards. The anticipated capture of Williams is more or less a done deal, according to John Cross of the Daily Mirror, who says Wenger “just [needs] to give it the green light.” A deal for Richards could be more complex due to the fact City already have injury concerns over defenders Matija Nastasic and Vincent Kompany, highlighting Richards’ value to the squad when fit. (BleacherReport) A situation Wenger never thought he would be in this late into the transfer window but hopefully his history of late signings will come true Via BACKPAGEHEADLINES » ARSENAL #lord
