{Ed022's note - brand new player profile for you Arsenal fans on Marvin Martin. Great little french player available for around 10 million this summer from Sochaux - could be a good option for you AFC fans? www.player-profiles.co.uk - cheers all!}

He's likely going to Lille.
ibster

Ed, what chance we might bid? {Ed002's Note - Dortmund, Lille, Lorient, Valencia, Fenerbahce, Arsenal and Anderlecht have enquired after Marvin Martin, but it seems very likely that the Socheaux player will move to Lille.}

Although talks are continuing between Lille and Sochaux apparently both presidents have very different valuations for the player

Rosicky is better than martin. Rosicky isnt good enough to play CAM for arsenal anymore. Says enough.

Do you think RVP horrid euro form will make him consider staying slightly more?

It shows how adapted he is to our formation and our style of play an maybe a wake up call that he may not be able to slip into another system just as easily?

Just a thought

@dannyt1991

Its just he is more of the star man with us, with Holland he is an imprtant player, obviously, but with the likes of Sneijder and Robben, he is more secluded, and therefore less prominent in their side.

kev88

This will have. NO influence. He's as good as gone

Paul - Rochester

Agree with kev. Like Henry before him, everything goes through RVP. When they go else where it turns out to not be so easy

Chimney sweep Josh

Robben and Sneijder are incredibly selfish and, IMO, overrated players. They try to do everything themselves and never try to assist even when it's the easier option. Robben especially. Dutch team is a group of big egos up front. It's why they're s**t.

To be fair, when RVP tried to do it all on his own he scored a wondergoal. Maybe they'll have a change in tactic after today. Doubt it though lol

Arsenal looking at CB Guillermo Burdisso brother of Nicolas Burdisso of Roma the fee is thought to be around £2million

How old?

Simon Kjaer looked good again today! 2nd world class team he's played against 1st against Holland and Portugal today and he's showed he can cope with the best would be a good signing to bulk up our defense

Bendtner has looked pretty good, so has Arshavin. If they'd never played in England I'm sure you'd be keen on them, too. Kjaer isn't the most consistent player in the world and is very prone to making mistakes. He's no better than Koscielny.

Yes but im not saying he should start for us only as a 3rd or 4th choice just in case Konscielny or vermaelen get injured because our defense isnt the best with depth and i would rather play him than Djourou so we would have

Konscielny
Vermaelen
Mertesacker
Kjaer
so we could also rotate

Looks good? What he let Postiga wonder past him to score. Not that impressive

And no ive never liked Bendtner even when Arsenal were about to sign him i allways knew he was going to be a flop

He was crap

'And no ive never liked Bendtner even when Arsenal were about to sign him i allways knew he was going to be a flop'

you were aware of him as a 16 year old kid joining the arsenal youth team, must bow to your knowledge

You knew Bendtner was going to be a flop when he signed when he was 17 in 2004? Don't talk such rubbish. If you thought that of a 17 year old then you're as closed minded as allH the people that turned Ian Wright down when he was in his late teens. Face it, Kjaer is no good, and he would never sign for us to be a 4th choice centre back. It's not going to happen and anyone with any sense doesn't want it to.

Chimney sweep Josh

So if Djourou and Squillaci go do you reckon a world class CB is just going to come to us or do you reckon any other CB wants to become our 4th choice or even our third choice people need to get their heads out of their arses and realise we are not going to sign another amazing defender and it will be someone like Kjaer we are not going to sign Chiellini , Sakho or any other CB of that calibre to become our third choice END OF and as soon as everyone realises that the better

And what i meant to say was when i first say him play for Arsenal!! he doesnt like to do much work , LOves himself and reckons that he is the best in the world and bigger than the club itself

No I reckon we could get a player better than Kjaer for a lot less money with lower wages. He's no better than Djourou. He's not automatically great because you signed him on football manager. Also, Bendtner never said he was the best in the world, just that one day he wants to be, and I'm pretty sure he doesn't consider himself bigger than Arsenal football club. You're making yourself look a bit foolish spewing this rubbish. But carry on, Kjaer is wonderful and we really should sign him because he's worth the �12,000,000 he'd cost even though he's no better than 4 players in the same position we already have.

"Everything I do I always feel very confident. Whether it's tennis, badminton, football, whatever. I just go out there and think I can do it and most of the time I can. What I'm good at I don't mind saying because it's not a secret, is it? For me confidence is so important. It's good to know I can go out on the field and feel I can take on the world."
One of the things he has said in an Interview so shut up about he doesnt think he is the best my best part is
"What I'm good at I don't mind saying because it's not a secret, is it? "

"We have never seen that before. Pat Rice was sitting next to me and couldn't stop laughing. When Bendtner misses a chance, he is always genuinely convinced that it wasn't his fault."
Another not said by him but by a staff member of Arsenal


I had three aims this year - to get into the Arsenal team, qualify for the World Cup and to be Player of the Year. I have achieved them all.

. I want to be top scorer in the Premier League, top scorer at the World Cup and, within five years, I want to be among the best strikers in the world. Trust me, it will happen. I look around at other players, I see my own ability and I can�t see anything that tells me it won�t happen, I�m sure people will think 'What is he talking about?� But as I have done before, and as I will do again, I will sit at the other end and laugh at those people when it is all done


THIS IS THE BEST THOUGH
'I should start every game, I should be playing every minute of every match and always be in the team.'
And DJourou was going for 10m all together

BTW i dont play Football Manager i think its a waste of time because the players are allways different to what they are like in real life

Chimney sweep Josh

Bendtner has always said he is the biggest player at Arsenal however i think it was lost in translation, all he was saying is i play with a bunch of midgits ha.

Not every quote you read on the Internet is true. Sometimes a player is doing an interview in his native tongue and the interview is translated and this is very dangerous. You believe what you want to, but these comments can very often get taken out of context and be mistranslated. Fact remains though, Kjaer is rubbish and he'll never play for arsenal.

Simon Kjaer is a good player, not great or fantastic, but good, I am a Danish Gooner and I would have prefered Arsenal to look at Fc Nordsjaelland from Denmark, they won the Danish league and are going to play in the Champions leagues group stage next year, they have a young super defender 19 years Jores Okore, he is fast, strong and are always looking like he is on top of every situation, he is for sure one to watch

If RVP signs for PSG Or juventus he will be making a backward step because the players we are signing will give us abetter chance in the champions league than either of those teams. If he stays what a front 3 best in prem league.

Sadly I can still see him leaving. I hope to God I'm wrong, but I think he just wants a move. Hopefully his family life will be more important because his family love London. One thing is for absolute certain, he won't move to another English team. He's not that kind of guy. Hopefully his poor performance at euro 2012 will put potential suitors off..

Chimney sweep Josh

U guyz can pround ur 3 front in prem league an i cn b pround of my title.said (Nasir)

Nasri is an person and hardly played a part in the title.
RVP is going nowhere.

Rob

You mean the players we are rumoured to be signing surely, our only actual signing is Podolski

13 Jun 2012 19:33:21
I am glad Giroud is signing, i believe Rvp will stay cause he knew the players coming in.we will have the best attack in prem. There is going to be 3 more signings, i believe we will sign Lucas biglia for 8m, An attacking midfielder, Afellay for 7m, and the young keeper Butland for 4m. If Rvp does go we will sign Fernando Llorente. We will not be signing a defender 3 signings attackers, 1 holding mid, and a keeper.

You think you will best attacking team in the prem. wrong look who chelsea are signing hazard hulk mata torres lampard ramiers. keep dreaming you are going to be the best attacking like you dream about trophies

Firstly Mata, Lampard and Rameires are Midfilders and this point was about striker combinations. Also Hulk has not signed yet either. Chelsea are losing their main tailisman in Drogba and Torress has not exactly set the world alight has he. RVP, Giroud and Podolski are proven and consistant 1 goal in 2 games on average strikers so looks pretty good to me.

To the spud dud troll or whoever rival squad you support that believes Chelsea will have the best midfield. You've mentioned midfield players mixed in with attackers... errr i do believe the original post was about the attacking prospects of RVP, Giroud and Podolski...... so settle on. Also Hulk hasnt signed any deal with Cheslea, and they'll need all the luck in trying to maintain Hazards ego. I honestly hope he flops just like Torres did.

To the deluded,confused chelsea fan who say's we "dream of trophies". Few facts for you buddy;Prem(1st div)titles ARSENAL 13 chelsea 4,F.A.cup ARSENAL 10 chelsea 7,League Cup ARSENAL 2 chelsea 4(well done there)Charity Shield ARSENAL 11 chelsea 4,Euro cups ARSENAL 2 chelsea 2,Champions league ARSENAL 0 chelsea 1,(lucky aint the word,but well done nonetheless) not so Super Cups ARSENAL 0 chelsea 1(who cares)? F.A.youth cup ARSENAL 7 chelsea 4. ARSENAL 45 chelsea 26. And we did it without a billionaire gangster sugar daddy,get it right,IT IS YOU WHO DREAMS OF TROPHIES.I fear there is a village somewhere missing an idiot!

13 Jun 2012 17:52:32
We're not going to sign Affelay. Simple. Podolski will more than likely play where Affelay would. We've also got Walcott and Ox that can play the wings, and other players that can cover there. I think it's more likely we'll sign a strong midfielder, as Arteta is no spring chicken, and Ramsey isn't quite the player we expected, though still young. Possibly also a right back to cover Sagna, though I think Wenger likes Jenkinson so possibly not.

What does Ed think about my Affelay pessimism. I think we're more likely to sign Fabregas back, and we know how likely that is. {Ed002's Note - Afellay has been out injured pretty much all of this season and I think future chances at Barcelona may be limited but the kid is keen to stay and Barcelona seem keen to have him as a squad player. However, I think it is still possible that he will be available in the summer and that Barcelona would listen to offers. Italy looks like one option available to him if he is sold and there may be interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle.}

I doubt it. He would never go to Newcastle, unlikely Tottenham, possibly Liverpool merely because it's Liverpool, and Arsenal don't have the room for him unless they sell. They've got replacements already for Arshavin (Podolski) and Chamakh/Bendtner (Giroud).

Giroud set to sign (source- BBC sport)

13 Jun 2012 14:37:28
Ed, two questions for you. What percentage would you put on m'villa coming, and which media outlet do you rate when it comes to transfer rumours? As we all know not to take tw#tter seriously. Cheers geez. UP THE GOONERS Flybo. {Ed002's Note - I don't want to get in to percentages but Inter Milan, Arsenal, Real Madrid, Manchester United, Manchester City, Bayern Munich and Juventus have all shown a determined interest in M'Vila and perhaps PSG and Barcelona will become interested as well. However, he remains there for the taking of Arsenal should they make an offer that is acceptable to Rennes. I think there is a good chance of completing a deal.

The only media outlet worth trusting at all is of course Associated Press. However, somewhere there is a ranking of media sources and transfers in teh form of a league table - you should be able to track it down.}

Www.footballtransferleague.co.uk

No surprises as Broadsheets do well and the Mail, Sun (caughtoffside registers only 2%!) are sh*te.

David Ornstein a BBC Sport reporter has just announched this on twitter:

Giroud to Arsenal almost done. Announcement this week, not a replacement for RvP. Story across BBC soon, first reported by @JWTelegraph

13 Jun 2012 12:26:35
david ornstein (bbc) tweeting that giroud deal is almost done, to be anounced this week, and that he is NOT a replacement for RVP!!

13 Jun 2012 09:17:10
hi eds, are/were arsenal interested in glen johnson at any point as he can cover both lb/rb, not sayin i want us to be interested in him lol but i remember someone at some point sayin there was interest but couldnt find it in the archives?
cheers

Bedford Gooner {Ed002's Note - I don't recall any interest from Arsenal.}

13 Jun 2012 03:14:21
M'villa has agreed personal terms with arsenal. The transfer won't be anounced til after euros.

I think there is some truth in this as skybet have removed M'villa from there transfer betting list.
KJ

I hope its true as hes a brilliant player, but why no announcement until after the Euros when hes injured?
