A good source of mine that works at the Bell Lane training facility and operates very closely with the media management has informed me that Adebeyor may be on his way back in a cut-price deal.

Beacuse we don't like lies, you should have gone to specsavers heard they have got a buy one get one free offer. Anyways on a lighter note, Gervinho to be signed either weekend or early next week after wenger gets back from France on "holiday" eg a scouting trip.

Arsenal have been linked with a shock move for midfielder pedro mendes who is out of favour at his current club. He says he would welcome a return to the premier league with newcastle also hot on his tail. This could be what the arsenal squad is missing!

I have heard from a very good sauce(sorry, cannot reveal who it is) that Cesc will move to Barca by the middle of July for £35M, or £28M+ Jefferen going the other way. Watch this space...

Who Ever posted this;

I work in a travel agency and one of our major clients is Arsenal F.C. Earlier today I handled the booking of Neil Banfield to Milan.Take from this what you will but the recent rumours of Eto may have in fact be more than rumours. Lets call them trumouurs.

A colleague of mine also handled the bookings of Steve Rowley (Arsenals Chief Scout), Nicholas Bendtner and Gael Clichy to the Hilton Hotel Munich. I have it on good authority that Arsenals scouts are concluding deals for Frank Ribery with Nic and Gael going the other way.

I'll kepp you posted on any further developments.


The fact is the AFC use the travel mamangement company not a travel agent and it is all done through automation not some gimp manually handling a ticket like in 1985!

Reality is that because AFC won't spend we will end up 5th if lucky. Top class player is a minumium 25million transfer fee. So lets face Gooners its not going to happen

Sorry but Im just as sad as the rest of you

Gary Cahill coming to Arsenal.

Owen Coyle has just been interviewed on Sky Sports News, and he seemed to be resigned to the fact that Cahill was going to leave. Now with Man City out of the race i don't know of anyone else being linked with him other than Arsenal. So i reckon that as long as Arsenal don't fail negotiating with a club or player (again) then i could see this happening in the next week or two.

Arsenal will be signing two defenders, however, it is not Cahill and Samba but instead it is the Berezutsky twins who can both play anywhere across the back line.

There has recently been increased money for Joey Barton to join Arsenal and the bookies have consequently cut his price to 1/2.

I am a Journalist although I no longer work for a big name company (within Football) I still have contacts in many places.
I have just got off the phone to one the conversation was all Arsenal as we are both Arsenal fans.
From what he has heard:
Samba- we only have to agree wage terms with the player everything else is sorted.
Gervinho- Is all done bar the shouting just the paper work to go.
Cahill- Arsenal are only winning to go to 15m ( his release clause is 17.5m) but it is believed he wants to join Arsenal and the clubs have a good relationship which Arsenal are trying to use in their favour.
We were both talking about how Arsenal needed some tenacity and mentioned Joey Barton as the type of player but said Wenger wouldnt touch him, as we was talking about it Barton became 1/2 odds on to join Arsenal.
There is no inside knowledge with the case of Barton just saw the odds on skybet

Gazidis supposedly in talks with Bolton over Cahill. Looks like things are finally moving along but gunner fans shouldn't hold their breath.
I'd say Cahill, (possibly Samba), Gervihno and Chamberlain will be the only additional signings Arsenal will make year. However players like Cesc and Nasri will stay.

Hi guys just a few bits and bobs I've picked up

Cesc Fabregas - its looks like Barcelona are now content on the progress thiago alcantara has made and are no longer interested in him.

Nasri - From what I've been told the £150,000 a week stuff is nonsense nasri is not a greedy player , the lad just wants success if arsene doesn't improve the squad its looks like AC Milan will be his destination.

Thanks

Phil.

ed do you think arsenal will sign cahill? {Ed001's Note - hard to say, you are certainly at the head of the queue, but the club is again failing to act decisively. Last summer all the main targets were missed out on due to this problem within the club. Unless lessons have been learnt, well I just can't see the players targeted joining.}

Arsenal have had a money+Denilson bid for Douglas Costa turned down by Shaktar Donetsk. Costa's agent said that Shaktar are not interested in Denilson (i dont blame them) and would only accept a cash only offer.

edd on goal.com it says arsenal have had an offer turned down for douglas costa. do you have any news on this? also who do you think would be better for arsenal willian or douglas costa? {Ed001's Note - Costa is a much better player in my opinion, I have not seen anything to suggest Willian would be worth buying. All I know is that Arsenal have held talks with the club, couldn't tell you who over, I would have guessed at selling Arshavin personally though.}

All week I've been reading that Arsenal are preparing Denilson plus cash for Shakhtar's Willian, now I'm reading the same deal but for Douglas Costa from the same team.
Ed whats happening with this deal and for who? {Ed001's Note - no one is certain, they know contact has been made with the club and then it becomes a guessing game until something gets leaked by someone involved.}
