Ed do you think swapping Nasri for A.Johnson + Cash would be a good deal? {Ed035's Note - Kevin Doyle?

Believable5 Unbelievable14

Wtf do you mean by kevin doyle

Agree0 Disagree0

Do you mean M. Johnson?

Agree0 Disagree0

Nasri is NOT leaving

Agree0 Disagree0

We're being loosely linked with Kevin Doyle sadly. And no, swapping Nasri for Adam Johnson at Man City plus cash, not M Johnson (who is that?)

Agree0 Disagree0

I think that we should take 15m plus Adam Johnson for Nasri right now

Why are liverpool fans on here?
and apparently arsenal to bid 35million for andy caroll .... ohh no were not a thick as the scousers :)

Believable14 Unbelievable11

Atleast liverpool bid big money for the player they wanted. whether he is amazing or not is irrelevant. we want arsenal to splash the cash on benzema, we dont know if he will be a success in england or not, but do we care right now? no. we just want him. We should take a leaf out of liverpools book when it comes to transfers. play hardball.

Agree0 Disagree0

We should just spend big money even if the player is not that good, can i sell you this car its only worth 100 but i will sell it to you for 5000.

Agree0 Disagree0

Funny how some people still struggle to understant the whole carroll/torres transfer saga...it was chelsea's money being spent and liverpool made 20 mill profit

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh but carroll is horrific...worth about 10mil really...u would have been better off keeping kuyt in the team and spending the 50mil on a player who is actually good at football and does not get outwitted by a bar stall. Have fun in the europa league next season...oh wait...

Agree0 Disagree0

IAM A GLASGOW RANGERS FAN, LOVE WATCHING ARSENALS FOOTBALL STYLE GREAT TO WATCH BUT YOU NEED SOMEBODY TO PUT THE BALL IN THE NET YOU CANT KEEP TRYING TO WALK THE BALL IN, WE VE GOT THE PERFECT PLAYER IN JELIVIC WOULD SUIT ARSENALS TYPE OF PLAY GOOD GOAL SCORER AND TEAM PLAYER, AH KNOW IAM MAD TRYING TO PUNY ONE OF OUR TOP PLAYERS BUT HE WILL GO SOONER OR LATER AND WHY NOT ARSENAL.

exellent news. arsenal are odds on favorites to sign chris samba robert huth and kevin doyle

Believable5 Unbelievable17

Excellent news. What planet are you on.

Agree0 Disagree0

If thats good news I don't want to hear the bad

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would we ever want huth and doyle?

Agree0 Disagree0

Huth is solid so that actually could work out - I just never want to see an ex-stoke player come to Arsenal, especially that dirty b*stard Huth. And Doyle is turd so maybe you live under a rock??

Agree0 Disagree0

If it were true, i would never call it excellent.

Arsenal Team 11/12 ?

W.Szczesny
B.Sagna - G.Cahill - T.Vermaelen - L.Baines
T.Walcott - A.Song - J.Wilshere - J.Mata
R.VanPersie - K.Benzema

Subs: L.Fabianski, L.Koshielny, J.Djourou, A.Ramsey,
A.Arshavin, Gervinho, M.Chamakh

Believable13 Unbelievable15

Instead of going for downing, why don't we go for marc albrighton.....I think he would be a fantastic player?......

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont see us bringing in 4 big players. well get 2 if were lucky

Agree0 Disagree0

Gervinho is better than theo

Agree0 Disagree0

We signed 3 last season so why wouldn't we sign 4? Or 3? And also the board has demanded we make some signings. Gervinho doesn't count as the experienced signings we need so expect another 2 signings of proven experience, and possibly one more for amazing young talent.

Agree0 Disagree0

No left back coming in accordiing to Wenger . will use Gibbs and Traore, Vermaelen as cover

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 22:34:23
The transfer deals are scary, and there' tension every where on arsenal side What if AW doesn't sign any player, despite cesc, nasri etc wanting out? Hmmm

Believable8 Unbelievable10

Nasri and cesc are staying arsene has stated that himself so stop worrying source skysports {Ed002's Note - It is simply political posturing.}

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 22:22:46
Ahmedov won't happen, we've only scouted him, and the only reason he's gone public with the info is to wrangle a move to Europe or the oil rich Arab nations.

His club, Paxtakor, have already rejected bids of 12m+ from Arab sides.

We'll never bid that much.

Believable10 Unbelievable1

10 Jul 2011 22:20:38
Another example of someone seeing a couple of rumours, and expecting them to happen (Downing and Rodallega).

Neither of those players are good enough (in my opinion), for our club.

Believable10 Unbelievable5

Downing and rodallega are very much underrated by fans only because people only watch big important matches and dont notice the contribution the make in the team

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 22:12:49
Mertesacker has come closer to the World Cup than any of our defenders, I doubt there is any truth to the rumours but can you honestly say that someone tall who can head a ball and has 75 international caps would make our defence worse?

Believable13 Unbelievable4

Sagna was the starting Right-Back for france.

- Daniel

Agree0 Disagree0

Mertesacker is painfully slow, and his form the last couple years has been rather poor

Agree0 Disagree0

According to Wikipedia and as far as I can remember Sanga wasn't in France's 2006 squad and in the 2010 World Cup France were pathetic.

Believable7 Unbelievable1

I'll go with Lehman's save because with Henry it was always kind of expected that he would produce some brilliance but with Lehman you just never know what he'll do, like steal someone's glasses maybe or hide a shoe or even take a piss.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lehman at 88 minutes was more epic.

Agree0 Disagree0

Number 2.

Agree0 Disagree0

Henry is my idol so an obvious choice for me

Agree0 Disagree0

Obviously a penalty save from an old average keeper a against a good spanish team is better than a legend tearing apart a world class team in a matter of seconds. If you havent guessed, this is an attempt to type sarcasm. The penalty wasnt great and although it was late, its not like we would have lost, it would have been 1-1 agg.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 20:08:49
According to Philippe Auclair Arsenal are interested in signing Sylvain Distin

Believable2 Unbelievable14

I f***ing hope not... 5 years ago I'd have said ok, not a bad player but now, really, at 33? Not the marquee defensive signing we're looking for...

Agree0 Disagree0

Auclair didn't actually say Wenger was interested, he said Distan is a player who he could see Wenger might go after as he likes him as a player. There was no 'Wenger is after Distan'. This is how rumours start.

mark wexford {Ed003's Note - Cesc out and Nasri out}

Believable3 Unbelievable9

10 Jul 2011 21:17:06
jus got of the phone from jack wilshires brother. jack has told his brother that cesc is defo goin and that nasri will sign new contract as real madrid said we have first option on benzema.

arsenal take serbian winger nenad lukic on trial

Believable12 Unbelievable8

10 Jul 2011 18:10:34
If Nicklas Bendtner is not sold to one of the german clubs. Expect him to end up wherever Mark Hughes manages. I have it from a reliable source that a phone call took place between Hughes and Bendtner about a move to Aston Villa as Hughes was confident he would get the job however he didn't. If QPR have a rocky start to PL life then expect Hughes to replace Warnock and Bendtner to be there late in the summer or early january.

Believable4 Unbelievable15

Isn't Mark Hughes already manager at Fulham?

Agree0 Disagree0

No he left at the end of last season. Martin Jol now manages Fulham

How can people not see that Wenger wants Downing as Nasri type squad member who cqn play on the wing and be influencial on the ball through the middle Wenger likes players who can play in various positions My contact had no idea of this talk so it must be a relatively new enquiry? Wenger will go in for Vertorghen shortly as a left back option to cover Gibbs, young Jenkinson can also cover
Another striker will be purchased and Wenger will spend big on this player
Cahill to follow once Bendtner and Alumina have left the squad wage bill

Believable10 Unbelievable11

Downing is not good enough for arsenal or england, why waste money on players who dont perform on any stage

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeh, vertonghen on the bench, can see that. GIBBS is a poor left back, so vertonghen to play 2nd left back to gibbs is an absolute joke. You must not watch much football

Agree0 Disagree0

Gibbs is quality, considering his age that boy has lots of potential. Also on more than one occasion I've seen him cross the ball, and accurately. Seriously

10 Jul 2011 17:08:45
Have heard Nasri to City for 22M is done deal, will complete on return from Asia. We have taken him for commercial reasons. If this is true i hope Wenger at least enquired Kompany, De Jong or Johnston as part of the deal. Probably not though.

The Downing rumour i for one like i know lots of you dont but for me it shows a clear intent on having out and out wingers and a plan B. RVP, Chamakh and Gervinho can all head the ball so it makes sense to have good ball crossing wingers and Downing is fast and can go past people too.

The lack Defensive players and leaders coming in worries me more. This Mertersacker rumour better be rumour he is so slow for the EPL. I believe Wenger is being very cagey of CB's with stupid prices being quoted by everyone. 17M for Cahill is ridiculous, 10M for samba is a joke. If were spending that money then go for proven international and CL class.

As for Cesc, Pep wants it sorted soon, we want it sorted soon. So why dont Barca just get it we want 40M, and not 8.5M now and the rest when we have the cash LOL what a joke they are. Abidal is over the hill so please no more of that rumour. If players are involved then go for say Gabriel Milito and Affelay with say 25M in cash.

Paul

Believable5 Unbelievable13

10m for samba is a bargain mate.. i think you will find if we want him it will cost 12m minimum

Agree0 Disagree0

Sky reports saying downing strongly prefers Liverpool

Sums it all up

Agree0 Disagree0

You're talking s**te mate. We wouldn't take Nasri to Asia EVEN FOR 'Commercial reasons' if he was leaving the club; commercial deals last longer than the one week we'll be out there, don't you realise this?

Wenger doesn't make a bold statement RE: Keeping Nasri only to then agree to sell him for 22m on the same day. The 110k PW deal has yet to be put on the table for Nasri.

Besides Sky Italia have ADMITTED to jumping the gun on that story & they were the first to "break it" SSN got it from them, so on and so forth.

In fact the ENTIRE Nas/City rumours began on a Sky Blue's forum to wind up MUFC supporters, it trickled out onto Twitter and is now the story you see before you.

Amazing.

Agree0 Disagree0

Think about what you are typing (on the Nasri paragraph)..
If a deal has been struck for Nasri, do you honestly think City would happily allow him to gallabant half way around the globe to provide PR and Marketing for a rival club, and potentially pick up an injury?
Surely City would want him for commercial reasons of their own, such as showing intent. By your logic Clichy may as well have gone along for the pre season PR tour for Arsenal as well, hell, while we're at it, let's borrow T.Henry from over the pond, as he will get bums on seats over there (Aisa).
Complete balls. Again as I have said previously, I am ready to stand corrected, but by using my limited powers of deduction (common sense), I feel that this rumour has limited legs (a bit like Downing's ability to perform a step-over). We shall see.

Kermit79

Agree0 Disagree0

That made me laugh about asking for kompany in nasri deal as if city are going to let go a defender who between him a vidic was the best center half in the league last season as well as being there player of the year plus nasri leaving because he not confident of winning trophies so why would kompany move the other way

Bendtner is in talks with Newcastle United, 9m deal, Will Wenger ask for Enrique as part of deal? Hope so, Enrique is best left back in premier league, strong, fast and great engine.

Believable14 Unbelievable12

Well if you do get enrique you will be getting one of the best left backs in europe top class and easily our best player last couple of seasons, we will be sad to see him leave, he would be excellent for yous

Agree0 Disagree0

NO WAY NEWCASTLE WOULD GIVE HIM AS PART OF A DEAL

I see alot of people dont believe the arsenal enquiry for downing...

well I can confirm that they have made the enquiry, but no offer will be made for 18million. the offer arsenal have in mind is cash sum + bendtner. arsene values bendtner at 14million, so a cash sum around 3-4 million will be talked about..

Believable6 Unbelievable12

If thats true im happy, 4 mil to get rid of bendtner and get a player who will deliver good crosses, sounds like a good deal to me.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can see a cash + Bentner deal but think Bendtner id closer to 10m not 14m either way reckon we may have to stump up 8/9m if he really wants him. Does this mean Nasri stays and moves into the middle once Cesc departs?

Jakey

Agree0 Disagree0

Bendtner to sunderland + cash and gordon the other way.

Agree0 Disagree0

Downing will sign 4 liverpool tmoro

Agree0 Disagree0

Please enlighten us all by explaining how you confirm an unsubstantiated rumour? Then when you have done this, I will believe this a little more.
SSN is not Gospel, and neither is a hack that has heard a rumour......

Kermit79

Agree0 Disagree0

Nicely said kermit79

Agree0 Disagree0

"arsene values bendtner at 14million" IF HE WORTH 14MILL THEN VILLA CUD LOOK FOR 30M FOR DOWNING , NASRI MUST BE WORTH SAY 60MILL. ARE YOU SURE ITS NOT 1.4MILL , IF WE GET 14MILL FOR HIM IT WOULD BE SOME BUSINESS

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 13:22:50
who is more likely
Hazard or mata/ no chance of either
cissokho/baines/sakho/vertongen/no chance of either
benzema/no chance

What a ridiculous post

Agree0 Disagree0

Now there is one rumour which we all know will come true

Agree0 Disagree0

Not to all other delusional fans.... If you think arsenal selling Fab, Nasri and any other garbage we may be selling ill hinder us challenging think again. Wenger will buy well.. WE WILL BE FIGHTING FOR HONOURS this season and will finish above Man Chitty and the sorry sack of spuds.

Agree0 Disagree0

Toon fan tired of the bull.. been linked with every player under the sun at this stage.. latest is Bendtner, just wondering if theres any truth to it, Arsenal fans heard anything.. cheers

KRTOON

Believable9 Unbelievable11

Hope so

Agree0 Disagree0

I think whoever gets Bendtner, will be signing a very good striker. Wenger seems to think he is a winger.

A GOONER

Agree0 Disagree0

If I remember correctly he was linked in January when you sold Carroll. Perhaps there is some truth in it.

Steve

Agree0 Disagree0

We would be just pleased for him to go anywhere, if your happy with him then i hope you get him.
KJ

Agree0 Disagree0

Take him and keep him

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think Newcastle could afford his wages.

Agree0 Disagree0

Cheers lads, who knows I guess, just another rumour.. know the Arsenal fans would like to see him replaced, and to be honest for a top club he is probably out of his depth, would be a very good signing for the toon though, definitely a better player than Shola, Best or Lovenkrands... anyone know how much Wenger is looking for him? would tell whether theres truth to it, unless hes wrapped up in a deal with Enrique going the other way? be a great signing for the gunners I think, much better defensively than Clichy and likes to get forward

KRTOON

Agree0 Disagree0

He's just as good as carrol for less than half the price...

Agree0 Disagree0

He is at present in talks with a unamed club....could be the toon....has a big ego but if played week in week out you will get 20 goals from him.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 13:04:46
I saw an article this morning saying that benzema has no interest in arsenal and wants to stay where he is according to his agent what u think ed? {Ed002's Note - I think he will be offered to Manchester City as part of a deal for Tevez.}

Believable14 Unbelievable7

Southampton want to much for Chamberlain and I don't want Downing, i agree on Mata
KJ

Agree0 Disagree0

I just cannot see this happening. It would be a big suprise, I think there are better players out there for the over inflated fee that Villa would look for. He is technically not good enough, although he would give Arsenal an option of someone getting to the by line and putting in a cross that is of a better calibre to Clichy with his row H efforts. IF this is true, then what does this mean for Arshavin? Does he (Arshavin) then move to a more centrally advanced role, meaning that Nasri is not being looked at for this role...so is he (Nasri) actually leaving?? Ummm, I don't think so. I am willing to wait and see. If anythinng this is Wenger potentially covering his options over the potential issues with Nasri and Fabregas. All will be revealed.

Kermit79

Agree0 Disagree0

What are the chances that wenger is only doing this to force liverpools hand to sign downing and give him a free run at juan mata

Agree0 Disagree0

Downing would prefer to go to Liverpool, so as long as they meet the asking price, I think AW will miss out on him, and hopefully we'll get Mata.

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 12:13:54
The downing rumours could potentially put an end to the mata rumours, if we get downing surly wenger won't go for another LW

Believable12 Unbelievable7

10 Jul 2011 11:58:19
It was some Dutch Jurno who knows Van Persie's agent. Basically saying there has been informal contact and Van Persie may be tempted.

Believable5 Unbelievable17

Seriously... Stop being a WUM.

RvP Just signed a new contract AND has taken DB10's shirt. He won't be leaving.

Agree0 Disagree0

Being tempted and actually doing it are different things. I have been tempted to walk out of a restaurant without paying because the service was so bad, but I didn't...
Again, Arsenal don't need to sell, but if a crazy offer comes in from City, it might be considered. Having money is all well and good, being able to replace with 'a par' or better is another thing, with a market that is clearly inflated.
Another one that I can't see happening.

Kermit79

Agree0 Disagree0

10 Jul 2011 10:46:42
SSN: Arsenal have had talks with Aston villa about Stewart Downing.

With nasri being offered 110k a week and fabregas possibly going for £35m + abidal which I would be more than happy to accept for a player clearly who's heart is not still with arsenal. And a versatile player in abidal I would take it along as nasri stays. Bring in Juan mata, move nasri to a fabregas role or vis versa and bobs your uncle. Those one or two would be;

Juan mata as replacement for fab so doesn't count as one of those two players as that number was based on both fab and nasri staying.

Fabregas deal including abidal again would not be included *possibly in that one or two*

Gervinho is already an arsenal player paperwork is just being slow the reason he didn't go out to Asia, can spend time with his friend eboue and get used England a bit to.

The two signings will be:

Centre backs finally:

Cahill - £17m + maybe some loans
Samba - £12m

So let's do some maths :(

Fabregas sale is £35m
Mata £21m
Gervinho £11
Cahill £17m

+ almunia and bendtner of which could add at least another £10m to the kitty

Outs £45m

Ins £49m

£4m spent typical arsene window

JOB DONE

Although Cahill looks more likely, this will be a typical wenger window

Believable5 Unbelievable12

Youve Just Made That Up Mate How Can We Sell Bendtner And Not Replace Him We Need A Real Number Numbre 9 ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Wake up chap, ...Nasri is going to Man Utd..Mata will be bought to replace him, ...

Nasri had a talk with Arsene, he offered him 100K/week, but he wants medals. And only one team in Premiership can guarantee that...
25th July Nasri will be United Player.

End of

To the guy above I understand what your saying, but in that case if he wants medals he will go 2 city. united were very lucky that everyone else sucked last season. no way will city be like that this year.

i have heard this from strong links from close to the club(a friend who speaks with former players) that wenger's interview is just a cover up of real situations. i was told that wenger WANTS mata as the replacement for fabregas, and when wenger said he will do all he can to keep nasri, he referred to signing benzema and another marque signing believed to b hazard, who wenger admires substantially.
i was told bids of 18mil for mata, 21mil benzema, 15mil plus loan back till january for hazard were being prepared.
i was also told only 1 CB is being chased n a CM/CDM that can also play CB.
the main targets are believed to be for CB-subotic/cahill/samba
CM/CDM-matuidi/vertonghen/mvila/de rossi.
these targets will only be followed upon after the sales of players such as- denilson, diaby, bendtner, almunia.
the source that told me this said the players were asked to scout these

Well that is a very nice rumour but don't TYPE EVERYTHING IN CAPITALS IT MAKES YOU LOOK LIKE YOU DON'T KNOW WTF YOU ARE DOING WITH A KEYBOARD AT YOUR FINGERTIPS.

However - 1) Given is worht at least 10million and City have made it clear enough times they don't want to sell him unless he puts in a tf request, and they have little in the way of back up for Hart.

2) Barcelona have been refusing to offer us the 40m asking price. So why would they then agree to that and also throw in Maxwell??

3) If we are replacing Fab with Mata and we already have Song Wilshere Ramsey Frimpong Nasri stays Lansbury Arshavin Rosicky and Diaby (who is unlikely to be sold sadly) why would we be buying Diarra?
