rumours that we are selling wallcott .arsenaloo09

Believable38 Unbelievable37

Let's hope so the guy is so overrated I bee
N an arsenal fan for 30 years he is one of the worst wingers I seen play for arsenal

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope so. hopefully we will get affelay.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well duh, seeing as that has been said on the rumours page a hundred times

Agree0 Disagree0

For a start he isnt a winger an been played out of posisition, get of the lads back hes still young and i bet every one was chearing his name against chelsea n yids,play him down the center and watch the boy go

Agree0 Disagree0

I won't shed a tear if we do.

He doesn't have a footballing brain and I'm not convinced he'd be much better up front.
Also, at 23 years old, he's more middle aged than young,... in footballing terms, that is.

rumours please ed
hello there everyone. FISH N CHIPS here. sorry for not posting recently but this is because i've been on holiday and been busy finding out information about our transfer news.
first of all i can confirm that we WON'T sign lewis holtby due to his fitness problems. this has alerted liverpool as they are intrested in him.
second we WILL sign matias suarez as he will be granted a work permit. he will join as they have finished everything needed but they are close to a move for a player that is in the french league and so are going to complete a double deal. that player is Morgan Amalfitano if i'm not mistaken as i got told we are close to agreeing a deal for a marseille midfield player. Amalfitano seems the obvious player that it could be as he's unhappy at marseille and would be up for moving clubs.
And on that note, that's all from me. i will post an update next thursday to inform everyone of the transfer news involving arsenal.

Istanbul Gooner

Agree0 Disagree0

Why?
This just not seems right...he is not even a regular at marseille's first team...dunno why we looking at him.
After considering players likes M'vila, capoue, marvin martin, gourcuff and debuchy this is what we settle for.
Damn!
i so hope this rumor to be wrong

Agree0 Disagree0

Never heard of Morgan Amalfitano. It seems that the board are looking for a cheap useless bargain again.....

^^^ it says that he thinks it's morgan amlaftino but not guarented

It's being reported in Italian newspapers that arsenal are after sneijder and a £20 million bid would be enough for inter Milan to let Him go after the inter Milan manager said he is not part of his plans for the coming season also it is sneijders dream to play in the premier league


Goonerluke

Believable19 Unbelievable42

Get real. his wages are way to high

Agree0 Disagree0

Would prefer goetze belhanda then him but he is just what we need in CAM.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry but keep dreaming. Wages, wages and wages = no chance.

Agree0 Disagree0

Nonsense, Inter milan quoted that snieder is not going anywhere and he wouldnt come to arsenal it would be man united if anyone

Agree0 Disagree0

Chicken gizzard would never cough up twenty mill plus his wages mate = zero chance of getting him.

Agree0 Disagree0

Would love it but that would be wishful thinking, we have very little chance. It might convince RVP to extend his contract though.

Agree0 Disagree0

No way.. but it may convince RvP to stay though

Agree0 Disagree0

I heard he was on Ł180 grand a week...don't think so.

Agree0 Disagree0

We cant afford to keep r v p but we can meet the demands of a man who Man utd couldnt afford......and what happens to wilshire who plays in the same same sort of position.........These comment must be posted by a 12 year old...

Agree0 Disagree0

Wages = impossible

Agree0 Disagree0

To the guy who called me a 12 year old:

im not 12 im 16 and im only wirting a rumour on here which i saw on twitter ealier just thought people should know about it

Victor Moses to Arsenal

Arsenal are lining up Victor Moses as a replacement for contract rebel Theo Walcott.

The Gunners winger's deal expires next summer and the 23-year-old is yet to commit his future to the club.

And boss Arsene Wenger is preparing a bid for Wigan winger Moses who shone as the Latics avoided relegation from the Premier League last season.

Chelsea have already had a £4million bid rejected for the 21-year-old but are expected to return with an improved offer.

Wigan chairman Dave Whelan has warned potential suitors that Moses will cost £10m.

Whelan has offered his prized asset a new long-term deal worth £20,000 per week, but Moses has made it clear he does not want to extend his stay at the DW Stadium.

The youngster has set his heart on a move to Stamford Bridge, despite interest from Liverpool, and now Arsenal, according to the Daily Star.

Really hope he doesnt come to us, he is another n'zogbia, loads of talent but a massive douchebag, poor attitude and thinks he is the big i am.

Thanks for that only saw that in the paper about 4 days ago

Breaking News:

According to the Rennes Manager Arsenal have decided to pull out of the M'Vila deal even though it was all tied up.

Not sure if it's 100% true but would be a shame now.
Although until I see these quotes I still believe M'Vila is done

NW

Believable15 Unbelievable28

I hear it aint happening m8 really wanted him at arsenal 2

Agree0 Disagree0

Where are you hearing this

Agree0 Disagree0

Made up quote, not true

Agree0 Disagree0

I love that everyone is saying its not true. If he was coming he'd be here already

Agree0 Disagree0

I really want us to sign M'Vila. It's silly to say that if we were getting him he'd be here now because he hasn't gone anywhere yet. Unless you think he will stay at Rennes? Doubtful.

Agree0 Disagree0

Another of Wenger/Gazidis slow dealing. It will blow up as usual!

Ash

Agree0 Disagree0

Its a record signing so make sense that the board would want to delay the announcement until after RVP departs, coz the money from RVP sale is going to be used to fund this M'Vila and Giroud transfer.The board is too stingy to spend anymore on transfers sadly.

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal scout Gilles Grimandi has admitted that recently signed striker Olivier Giroud is a direct replacement for wantaway captain Robin van Persie........... {Ed035's Note - that is unoffical and was reported in the daily mail. no one knows what RVP will do, Arsenal FC have lost world class players before and we still survive, no player is ever bigger than this GREAT club. RVP shouldnt be allowed to hold the club to ransom, if he wants out then let him go, no where in the world will he get the support he receives from Arsenal fans. personally i think we have got a bargin with the signings of podolski and giroud who i think will do very well for this club, next season is looking good in my eyes}

Believable37 Unbelievable13

I agreed with Ed035, far bigger legends have left and Arsenal have been fine! Podolski and Giroud look like great signings and I'm looking forward to the new season :)

Agree0 Disagree0

He also said that the club are working hard to keep RVP.

Giroud is a long term replacement for RVP and was signed early as a contingency in case he leaves this summer, but it's not guaranteed that we'll sell him in this window.

Stezza.

Agree0 Disagree0

Atleast some1 is positive!! {Ed035's Note - there is no need to be negative, so what if RVP goes, it could be worse we could be spud fans;-)}

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said Ed35

ES {Ed035's Note - thanks}

Agree0 Disagree0

Aaaannd always look on the bright side of life...cue whistling! COYG Arsene will get em going! devongooner

Agree0 Disagree0

I also say Well said ed35!
drumsofdotl

Agree0 Disagree0

I think its a win-win for arsenal. If he stays and sees out his 12 months, he will have to have another good season to promote himself as he will be 30 when hes due to leave. If he stays long term then great also. If he goes this summer we can cash in and get better injury free tallent that doesnt take 8 yrs to have a good season!

Agree0 Disagree0

The chances of Van Persie having a season like last one again are slim I'd say. Let him go to join the likes of Flamini and Hleb. The grass ain't always greener.

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope VP goes to Man s**tty and brakes his leg. how dare he manipulate us gooners into thinking he loves the club. i also think Podolski and Giroud are good signings at a good price. we will be no worse than last year, and if Jack and the OX play to ther potential and the new srikers score 15 each we will be better.

Agree0 Disagree0

To be fair Giroud is a really good signing for us. Been swigging up a lot on the fella and from what I've seen the 'good with his head' statements are lazy at best. He only scored once with his head last season and what you notice is actually good touch, quick initial burst of speed and intelligent all round play. Most of his assists where with his head it seems and he holds up play well. Think we have a Ba at the least and maybe a Gomez

Agree0 Disagree0

Have you guys noticed that since RVP had that cow placenta rubbed on his ankle he has been injury free.
Very strange if you ask me!
Hope he stays and Walcott can jog on as he has to be the most inconsistent player in the world of football, plays s**te for 4-5 games then plays 1 good game and everyone thinks he is the greatest player on earth?

Deano

Agree0 Disagree0

Tbf Theo`s not really a right winger.I would like to see him in a 4-4-2 as a striker, who knows if rvp goes could be a possibility.I think he got enough good attributes for him not to just be released on a free or on the cheap.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think Grimandi's words were taken out of context and like all of us, we dont know RVPs intentions...but just goes to show that when a quote is made, the media will twist it one way or the other.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed035 to replace Ivan Gazidis

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed - respect to you - couldn't agree with what you say. loved rvp, but past tense. love the arsenal always

Now, I don't usually post "we're signing this person at this time rumours" and i am putting my neck out a little, but a good friend tells me that arsenals next signing will be announced by Monday, and it's likely to be a midfielder from Ligue 1, funny thing is he says it's 100% not Capoue, (a little dissapointed if I'm honest), but his source also says its not looking likely it's Yann M'villa.
The only players I imagine it could be there are (my guesses here, nothing factual) Gourcouff or maybe someone like Morgan Amalfitano?

Sorry I can't get the name of the guy, and I wouldn't usually post this, but this is the same guy who told me the timeframe podolski would be announced as done (if you don't believe me, use the search function, I posted the day before he was officially announced on the arsenal site, that podolski would be announced in the next 48 hours)

If nothing materialises then I'm honestly sorry, so don't get your hopes up too much!

I wondered if Ed's or any other readers are getting anything along these lines?

Cheers guys.

Believable21 Unbelievable17

Im told from good sources its most likely Tongo Doumbia rennes midfielder gutted if its not m.villa tho.

any1 think nathanial clyne would be good signing. i rate him highly.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't be tonga doumbia...he's signed for West Brom. Could be Remy Cabella we've been linked with him recently

Agree0 Disagree0

Has he offically signed for brom? big signing for them if so

Agree0 Disagree0

Blaise Matuidi from St Etienne

Agree0 Disagree0

Blaise Matuidi plays for psg?

Agree0 Disagree0

Ads, Matuidi has been a PSG player for about a year now! Do keep up! ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Best not to get your hopes up high so you dont end up getting disappointed.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bet it's an unknown

Agree0 Disagree0

Morgan Amalfitano? sounds like it'll happen. thanks for your news D

Agree0 Disagree0

Sissoko from toulouse?

Agree0 Disagree0

M'Bia - Marseille, they said they would consider offers for him

N. Wales Gunner

Agree0 Disagree0

To the last poster, M'bia is a good shout, I only said Amalfitano because I know Marsielle have to sell before they buy this window.

Plus he'd fill the cdm needs and can play cb, both quite effectively, my only concern would be facing him, song and frimpong away at the acn.

Like I say guys, please don't get your hopes up, just incase it doesn't materialise as planned, but this is just what I'm
Hearing!

If I hear anymore, I'll post it as a separate post, just so you haven't gotta keep checking this one.

Thanks all

Valbuena a possibility?

Kyle Bartley promoted to First team. Miquel to go on loan possibly Brighton.
As reported yesterday M'vila deal was done a while ago 4 year deal reported.
Wenger bought Giroud to replace RVP so any other signing will not be replacement but just to bolster.

A.Jeffinho

Believable32 Unbelievable10

Mvilla good and bartley as 4th choice also good sell squid n djourou or let them run out their contract as their wages are too high for low clubs, bring in another attacker

Agree0 Disagree0

If M'vila is done, what are we waiting for to announce?

Agree0 Disagree0

M'vila delay is by Renne's request as they look for a replacement. same case with Modric to Real Madrid. was done a while ago I can confirm but Spurs want to sign replacement first.
A.Jeffinho

Agree0 Disagree0

M'villa isn't done it's a load of bs


Goonerluke

Agree0 Disagree0

Modric to Madrid wasn't done ages ago, he's currently talking to other clubs over a move.

Ben X.

Agree0 Disagree0

M'villa aint coming 2 arsenal. gutted coz would have been a wicked signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Ben. IT IS DONE! i can assure you!
A. Jeffinho

If u are positive then show some sort of evidence mate about mvilla

Walcott pictured in the new AFC away kit - Staying?! Rumour was he was off to Liverpool.

Jakey

Believable15 Unbelievable25

I'm sure Walcott will stay.

But him being/not being in the photoshoot has nothing to do with him stating or leaving.

Arsenal linked with a £350k bid for Wycombe young left back Lloyd Jackson, Wenger had him watched towards the end of last season and is ready to make a bid to ad more competition to santos and Gibbs

Essex gooner

Believable7 Unbelievable17

Pretty certain no one called Lloyd Jackson plays for Wycombe, there's no record of him online as far as I can see.

Stezza.

Agree0 Disagree0

Think u mean charles dunne hes the up and coming wycombe left back

Agree0 Disagree0

If you're talking about Charles Dunne then you could be onto something. I know Liverpool were tracking him closely, it was rumoured he had a trial there, so Premier League clubs have been looking at him.

Stezza.

Has there been any contact between Toulouse and Arsenal regarding the possible transfer of Étienne Capoue?
Harry {Ed002's Note - Etienne Capoue has been of confirmed interest to Tottenham, Schalke, Barcelona, Arsenal and Lyon but Atletico Madrid are pushing hardest for a deal. I think a chance.}

Believable11 Unbelievable5

Apparently Affelay is available for around £6 million, which may change RVP's mind. Ed do you know if this is just rumour or could this happen? {Ed002's Note - I don't see Afellay being part of anything that will change RvPs mind.}

Believable3 Unbelievable10

Why pander to RVPs needs - he has already stated he will not sign a new contract - afc should not drop to their knees to please - either sign whats on the table or find something new
