dont know if anyone else read this on arsenal.com
but wenger said we are in the market, and particularly looking for a player in the arteta mould.
who could that type be?
he also said theyve got their targets and been watching and analysing them. sounds positive.

If we're talking like for like, physically and technically, its most probably biglia

Agree1 Disagree0

So his looking at second string Spanish players..

Agree1 Disagree0

My money is on he meant Diaby getting fit again for two weeks.

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually this is the exact quote: "We are in the market. To find players of a calibre of Arteta, available in January, I wish you good luck. We try very hard, believe me. We have a team around me who analyse everything. We select targets, I watch them... But it's difficult to speak about any names."

I really don't know what is the meaning of it: it seems to me not finding an "exceptional" player available for january is going to be the reason Wenger doesnt buy in this window.

Schweinsteiger?

Agree0 Disagree0

Wenger always says "we are in the market" problem is, half the stalls are empty by the time we get there.

Agree2 Disagree0

The watching & analysing should have been done by now. Negotiations should be going on now not is he good enough. All that should have been done. We are no stronger or better than 5 yrs ago. Something is wrong in the management of our club, it needs a major overhaul, but it aint gonna happen & we will be a mid table side by the end of the season sadly.

We hear this every Transfer window, I hope I'm wrong, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too much.

Knowing Wenger, Arteta will be 'like a new signing' when he comes back from injury.

Copied this text from Sportsmole website, " 18:52 Reports suggest that Yann M'Vila is having a medical with Queens Park Rangers ahead of a £7.9m move to Loftus Road.

Believable41 Unbelievable14

Totally guted... Mvila is the guy we need... And he is moving to qpr... Mvila may be temperamental but who cares? Rvp was as well for the first few years at arsenal... And so what...?

Agree0 Disagree0

Not too bothered - today was a good example of why we need to be sure we have 11 men on the pitch.

Agree0 Disagree0

What a joke!!

What has become of the gunners when players are choosing the likes of, no offence to them, QPR and Newcastle above us??

No chance of CL next year, little chance of Europa League the way we play.

The teamed with little heart today, except for Jack... But on the whole, we're too lightweight and small to compete against the bigger (literally) teams in the league.

Agree0 Disagree0

Not such a bad news after all - if proves good in EPL we can get him in July -prize will go down after QPR goes down to the championship.

Agree0 Disagree0

Him going to QPR it is not a bad think.if proves successful and fit player for EPL his prize will drop when Harry's Team go down to the Championship and then WE will buy him

Agree0 Disagree0

Obviously its cause Wenger didn't want him. M'Villa was desperate to come to us. Wenger must have better options in mind. Dont freak out guys, Wenger knows what he's doing. He's been in the business for a long time.

Agree0 Disagree1

"Dont freak out guys, Wenger knows what he's doing"

.. really? can you give an example which would tell us that he knows what he is doing :)

Ash

Agree1 Disagree0

Ash ... 2 doubles and the invincibles.

Agree0 Disagree0

"Ash ... 2 doubles and the invincibles." - Yep, and England won the world cup in 1966. Can't live in the past forever mate.

Agree1 Disagree0

Hardly comparable ... Wenger won 2 doubles etc and it is still Wenger at the helm.

Try comparing like with like instead of the stream of negativity and 'wishing' we were more like mancity/chelski and had a sugar daddy that bought our success.

Agree0 Disagree0

The point being England were ONCE Champions, Arsenal were ONCE the Invincibles. Holding on to past achievements when nothing has been won in nearly 8 years now is pointless. Of course Wengers still at the helm, at 7 mil a year it's hardly surprising. Please don't mistake disappointment with negativity though mate. I love my Gunners, but I along with many others aren't happy with the current situation. Anger needs to be directed somewhere. Anyway, COYG!

No Remy then, Barton's tweeted he's going to Newcastle. {Ed002's Note - Arsenal made NO approach to Marseille for remy.}

Believable34 Unbelievable12

Thank god!

Agree1 Disagree0

I don't care who we buy but anybody will be better that the rubbish we have!

Agree0 Disagree0

He turned down QPR first.....its nice to know money is not the be all, end all, to every one.....

Agree0 Disagree0

So if Remy is worse than, Giroud, Walcott or Podolski why would we buy him . You can fund his wages if you want.

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal shouldn't waste their time with a Newcastle/QPR target. that's like saying we should try to sign their players (even tho they are struggling to stay up this year). Remy isnt good enough to help Arsenal

I have been told by a friend, who usally knows what he is talking about, that Arsenal er keen to go for Stefan Kiessling. We have been interested before (like 09 or something, EDs?) and arsene think he's ready for prl. action.

I have some doubt about whether Leverkusen are willing to sell in jan. but he could be a really good buy! He aint falcao or Messi, but he could really lighten things up for us. Heard anything about it eds?

Aros {Ed002's Note - No.}

Diego Milito to Arsenal? Ed, do you have any info on this?
Btw, nice work, you're #1!

Ed - couple of the sunday papers are running a story that arsenal are in advanced talks with Toulouse for right back Serge Aurier, to replace Sagna.

Any info on whether this could be correct?

cheers, Andy {Ed002's Note - I don't know about "advanced talks" with Arsenal but PSG have enquired. Toulouse have advised Aurier that moving now to sit on the bench might not be best for his career.}

Believable18 Unbelievable12

It was mentioned on five live after the match....

Agree0 Disagree0

Why? When we have a more than capable right back in Jenkinson.

Why don't we enquire about lukaku. He's been getting better and better every week. I can't see him playing regularly for Chelsea.

Believable31 Unbelievable22

We tried to get him 18 months ago - but he prefered Chelsea.

Agree0 Disagree0

I agree he's a fantastic player and there's definitely no room for him at chelsea. But where would he fit into our team?

Agree0 Disagree0

In the striker position, seen as we don't have a top class one. It's painfully obvious we need a proper proven striker

Agree0 Disagree0

13 Jan 2013 20:40:31
No chance in heaven will Chelsea sell Lukaku. He was bought for the future and is just 19.

Agree0 Disagree0

You're kidding right

after Torres inevitably goes, Lukaku will be backup for Ba (or starter over him)

Agree0 Disagree0

sooooo lucas biglia is a no show to anderlechts turkish training camp, eds could he be wengers 1 target for the holding midfield position? (cheap and also a talented player)

preston gooner

Believable23 Unbelievable17

We need a defensive midfielder bad......would be suprised if Wenger didn't sign anyone......we have no one on the bench to come on and change the match....

Agree1 Disagree0

No-one who can change the match, nah we would because Walcott should be on it, he isn't good enought to start and he pace would be lethal to come on against tired defenders.

Agree0 Disagree0

12 Jan 2013 23:57:38
Hi ed, what's the latest on lucas Biglia? Apparently is unsettled at anderlecht and isn't go on their tour of turkey, what type of player is he?

Thanks {Ed002's Note - Fiorentina and Lazio are amongst the clubs who have enquired after Biglia. Anderlecht rejected an approach from Parma last season but I suspect he could well move this winter with Wolfsburg, AC Milan and Arsenal looking very keen indeed, but there may well be interest from other Italian clubs. He has, on a number of occasions, expressed an interest in playing in Spain but previous interest from Real Madrid seems to have waned; lately his desire is to move to Italy. Anderlecht have found a replacement already.}

Just read that Robert Lewandowski could be making a move to juve is there any chance of us hijacking the move? {Ed002's Note - Are you thinking of Llorente?}

Yohan Cabaye getting back to full fitness. This guy makes Newcastle and France tick. AW is a big admirer, and AW still has a strong pull with French players. Expect a bid of around 10m towards the end of this window if he returns without any repeat injury.

Arsenal will not do anything at this rate!

Agree3 Disagree0

Agree0 Disagree0
