apologgies if it's already asked and answered but haven't time to read through whole thread during lunch time.

Even though he was born in Cameroon, does he qualify as home grown due to coming through the Arsenal youth saystem?

Yes I believe he does count as homegrown.

As much as some don't want to hear it, I think it could be a case of Paulinho/Dembele and Sandro out and Song and Schneiderlin in. I'd imagine Poch wants Schneiderlin playing the role he has in mind for him (B2B) in any match he's playing. So, bringing on Song allows for that to happen as should Capoue go down, if we didn't bring in a capable DM backup we would have had to most likely turned to Schneiderlin to fill that void.

Capoue, Schneiderlin, Song and Bentaleb would be incredible options for the 2 CM positions.

I'd be fine if we got rid of all three of Paulinho, Dembele and Sandro ( :( ) if we got those two in.

100% agree with this.

Pauline, Debelay and Sandra have got to go now. Admittedly, Sandra less so, but the other two are awful and do not suit our style.

There is no way we're getting both Schneiderlin and Song before the deadline. I reckon the only reason we are considering Song is because we can't get Schneiderlin.

Dembele is staying imo. And it will be Sandro and Paulinho moving on.

Can't see us selling 3 CMs in one window...with 4 days to go

I would normally agree its either MS or Song, but if the rumours of Song being available on a free are true, depending on who we shift out, it wouldn`t surprise me if we got both.

We need to shift 3 players out though. Plus also, Holtby or Townsend, if Welbeck is coming in. I just don't see us being that busy with very little time left of the transfer window.

I agree, its probably a longshot to get both, but you know DL will be all over a good free transfer.

A loan deal it seems. What is the point of that.... bloody hate loans.
And loan for Welshite as well. Pointless.

Can't build a prosperous future with loans.
