Use our rumours form to send us arsenal transfer rumours.

Loan move watch:

Bendtner expected to fill the rest of the season with Sunderland, don't think he will be recalled unless we have a bad RVP injury. May sell in summer, possibly to a German club.

Frimpong will probably be loaned out wherever in the prem he can get first team experience. Given AW's good relationship with Coyle I think we can expect him at Bolton.

Coquelin is staying for the season.

Lansbury to fill the rest of the year with West Ham.

Miyaichi seems a tough call, I don't think he'll go to Bolton as well but I wouldn't be surprised to see him at a club with passing ethos. Personally I think Swansea/Wigan would be good for both parties.

Nobody else really comes to mind, although Chamakh would have been loaned out this season were it not for ACN

Given the current injury crisis in defence, I don't see Frimpong or Couqelin going anywhere.

I imagine Wenger is on the look out for a young talented fullback (similar to jenkinson).

Agree0 Disagree0

Since you dont know that Bendtner himself send his summer engineering a move away to anyone and only sunderland last minute got him out of there. He then proclaimed he would never go back to arsenal...sigh
Having said that i didnt read the rest of your post, pointless really.
Arsene may go for a defensive signing if he finds the right purchase...ie an underrated name you've hear once or twice with a reasonable price

Good post

Can I ask a question really quick? Can you all tell me what are the chances of Wenger actually buying a big player like Gotze or Pato are? {Ed002's Note - I would not be surprised to see Arsenal bid for Goetze but Arsenal, Manchester United and Barcelona have already been knocked back by his club and Goetze himself has made it clear that he is happy to stay at Dortmund for this season, although no doubt a very significant offer would be listened to. Real Madrid may be able to persuade him to move. He has identified his favourite teams as Barcelona and Arsenal. There is also interest also from AC Milan - and I suspect that they are shifting their interest in Ganso or Fernando to Goetze due to persisting non-EU quota issues. There may be some, so far unpublisized, interest from elsewhere announced soon. As for Pato I don't know of any interest from Arsenal.}

Why do you do this to yourselves every January? We're not going to be signing any big players! Wenger himself has said we won't sign anyone unless lots of players get injured. 'Wenger never talks about transfers and doesn't want people to be disheartened'. Give it up will you!

Goetze - said he wants to stay at Dortmund, is cup tied, will end up at Munich and another CM is the last thing we need.

Podolski - Everyone seems to think he plays LW, no idea where you got that from. Spending 15-20 million on a ST and then plonking him on the bench seems unlikely. Wenger will not change formation for 1 player, and he won't be putting Gervinho on the bench after spending 10+ million on him.

I mean, seriously, the maximum we will get is a cheap full back to fill in for our ones that are permanently injured. Stop speaking about ST's, Wenger didn't sign Park for a joke.

Another cm is the last thing we need
------
1 he can play CAM/RW
2 he said he want's to go to a club like arsenal or barce and barce have fabregas and thiago already

Agree0 Disagree0

Epic fail podolski plays more on the left than as a centre forward his team are injury plagued at the moment and stop being such a pessimist.

Agree0 Disagree0

Podolski plays lw for germany,
plus this is a rumour site and wouldn't be much fun if it was blank

Agree0 Disagree0

Gotze plays on the left for Borussia and wouldn't be cup tied as you can have one player continue to play after a transfer.

Agree0 Disagree0

I seem to remember we bought Arshavin in the Jan 'sales', he was also tied, and I am pretty sure he was the signing of the season. He lit the prem up, kept us in the fight for champs league footy, put 4 past Liverpool, etc etc etc, so don't sit there and preach that we won't make signings in January. If you hadn't noticed Wenger has had a major shift in his transfer policy, and although he will probably never adjust his wage scheme (that is, if it really is in his hands completely) there is no way he made enquiries about Goetze and Hazard in the summer, and Mata, and M'Vila, and Gourcuff (all over 20m apart from Mata, who will be worth that by the end of this season) unless he was and is prepared to spend big. He came out and said the club should be signing players like Neymar. He's said on more than one occasion, if reports are true, that he has no problem paying BIG money for a player- he just won't do it if they aren't worth what he is being asked to pay. yes this hinders us a lot but principles are principles. If Dortmund let us have Mario for 30m then I would take him and run, loan him back for the season, job's a good'n. All this 'you/we DEFINITELY WILL NOT SIGN ANYONE IN JAN' bullsh!t is getting seriously tedious to listen to because the truth is you don't have a clue. So don't tell people what they can and can't talk about.

Agree0 Disagree0

Couldn't agree more with the post just above!

Agree0 Disagree0

I think you missed the point. For starters we signed Arshavin because we we're 5th and in danger of missing out on top 4 so needed a player who could save us in the league. This season we look like getting 4th, so it is a completely different situation.

And i never said Wenger had a problem with spending big (and what you said about Neymar is pure tripe, he said if the club had the funds he would sign him, he said nothing like what you quoted) but he won't do it this january, maybe in the summer. I'm not a pessimist, just a realist. What's the point in building up your hopes for no reason? And you really think we would sign a player for 30 million and loan him back to his club? You're deluded.

Agree0 Disagree0

We will not sign any centre backs unless we get an injury! mark my word!

Agree0 Disagree0

'we signed Arshavin because we we're 5th and in danger of missing out on top 4' you do realize we are 1 point ahead of chelsea when they have a game in hand yes? im not sure you would call that a completely different situation

Agree0 Disagree0

Totally spot on post, one or two last minute cheap deals does not mean Arsene has changed. This is not a moan just the truth, and by the way I happen to believe he has worked miracles for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

When Arsenal signed Park he was intended as third choice but it wasn't anticipated that Chamakh would be incapable of doing anything.

Agree0 Disagree0

Podolski can play on the wing were do you think he played in the world cup. arhh so stupid

Agree0 Disagree0

Anyone know about this swap deal - Jefferson Farfan for Arshavin?

Raz {Ed002's Note - I think it was a "blog" item that was picked up in early November. If Farfan does move, I expect Italy with Inter or Palermo.}

Goetze
