lads do not want any abuse.

dicky laws is in negoiations with a dortmund player.

my gut feeling its lewandowski

i am not saying were signing him but isn't his contract nearly up?

malaga gooner

Believable24 Unbelievable71

I would probably piddle my pants TWICE with excitement if this happens to be true and he signs. !

Churchill Gooner

Agree2 Disagree0

Yes but I doubt he'd choose us over pretty much any team he wants

Agree1 Disagree0

His name is Piszcheck as Higuain and Jobetic are the strikers we already have deals in place for.

Josh09

Agree3 Disagree0

Its definately not him though is it that's an odd suggestion, it could be hummels (hopefully), any of their midfeilders, or maybe even pizcek as the sagna signs are up. One thing is though why would you leave a champions league winning side for us or even a runners up side for us.

Agree0 Disagree0

If dick is in negotiations, I can't see it being for him. nailed on to bayern after the final next week

Agree0 Disagree0

It's either Piszcheck or Subotic. not Lewandowski.

Agree1 Disagree0

Oh great, Malaga Gooner again with his wild guesses every day.

Agree1 Disagree1

Oh the deals are in place only for Higuain and Jovetic Josh? Are you at the negotiating table? Let's not be foolish. Speculation from papers does not equal fact.

Agree0 Disagree0

Any Dortmund starter would be fine! They're all good!

Agree1 Disagree0

I have to agree with Piszczek. We will be needing a right-back, and he is class.

However, he's contracted until 2016 and, like others have said, is part of an elite squad that is in the UCL final.

If we can offer higher wages and the allure of the premier league/London it could be possible.

Agree0 Disagree0

Dick Law is in Spain right now not in Germany, sorry bud

Agree0 Disagree0

I will not abuse you MGooner, but I must ask you why again these summer? Don't you have another job or winding up gooners with make up rumours is your dreamjob.

Agree0 Disagree0

Everyone seems to forget that all the bd players are linked to bigger clubs that them, yes they have reached the final of the champions league but many are linked to moves in Spain and bayern so it's quite likely we could snap up a player from there

Agree0 Disagree0

If he makes enough guesses eventually he will get one right and will then gloat about it!

Agree0 Disagree0

So. From malaga's original post, at least we now know that dick law is deffinitley not in germany, and we will deffinitley not be getting lewandowski

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh great Malaga gooner is off his prescription again.

Please please stop making up these ridiculous stories, people who don't know you're 'special' will believe it and run away in hope!

Paul

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry folks, in the last 10 years we have managed the club in 9 million odd. the same phase has seen wenger make 90 million. speaks something

i only see link to gold member renewals next to the "challenge for silverware" article in arsenal.

unless we have couple of marquee signings. we should stop this dream.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's far from foolish to establish your information from a variety of reliable sources and personal research. I'm saying Arsenal are in the market for a marquee striking signing and Higuian and Jovetic are players we have been strongly linked with by no coincedence. Sometimes indeed newspapers create random spec of players supposedly wanted by the player but some of the players they do mention are in fact possible transfer targets.

No I am not a false football agent not friend of the Arsenal board members, I'm just an ex professional footballer who now studies sports at a University who has been out in contact with some people who have insight on certain information about transfers.

Josh09

Agree0 Disagree0

More likely to be Piszczek (if anyone from Dortmund) as a replacement for Sagna

Agree0 Disagree0

19 responses to a nonsensical post. He thrives on the oxygen of it all. Deprive him of it and he might go away. Ed said in another post that the Metro had the poorest success rate of any press outlet - they and a web site are absolutely top-notch in comparison to Malaga Gooner.

I hear that we are releasing Jernade Meade. I thought he looked like a good one for the future. Maybe the signing of Monreal has limited his chances but given that Gibbs has had more than a fair share of injuries maybe his chance would have come. We may well get to see if he fulfills his potential as rumours are that a number of premiership clubs are interested.
terry

Believable32 Unbelievable7

Think it's due to the fact that we have a much better prospect a few years younger than him. Don't remember the name unfotunately

Agree0 Disagree0

20 May 2013 23:16:06
He is very very short.

Agree1 Disagree0

Sadly his height is his downfall for a defensive player.

Agree0 Disagree0

Just too short. I think we had a young right back many years ago, callled Gilbert, who has a similar problem.

Agree0 Disagree0

Massively disappointed, this kid is so good on the ball, but I guess at 20 you need to of made some bigger steps by now. Shame.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes supposed to be going to afc bournemouth.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sad believed in mead

#gooner4life

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah, I used to follow Cardiff before the rebranding and saw Kerea Gilbert play, he was a very good player, never understood why he was released.

wengers no. 1 transfer target is Karim Benzema, madrid are having a massive clear out and he is one of them. Deal in REgion of 25m, plus victor valdes for 10m. I don't know who the defender is but he is a german defender who can play right back and centre back. Midfielder is Gonalon from Lyon wiyh gervinho going the other way.

Benedict Howededs? Jerome Boateng?

Agree0 Disagree2

This is complete nonsense the Real Madrid board have already come out in a press conference to clarify who may be dispensable from their squad during their new clear out. It has been publicly stated Higuain will leave the club whilst Benzema will stay on. This is also evident in their starting line up as Benzema constantly starts ahead of Higuain and his record this season along with performances justifies why Mardid have decided to keep him.

Josh09

Agree2 Disagree1

Victor Valdes will not be acquired by us in the summer because we have a deal in place to take Cesar who is a cheaper option with premier league experience. Gervinho will leave and Lyon are interested yes as well as Galatasaray not many people are bothered where he goes but Gononlans coming in may be of use although I don't personally know much about the player myself. Defenders we're looking at are Corchia, Piszcheck, Williams, N'koulou whist we have also been linked with Hoewdes who currently plays for Shalke who could be the player your talking about. If so he'd be my first option for CB instead of N'koulou and Williams.

Agree0 Disagree0

IMO, Valdes is past it, over-rated, over-priced and can stay where he is. Cesar, much better option.

Benzema? Would rather Jovetic.

I'm still hoping for a crazy Cavani deal but I'm just a hopeless romantic!

Agree1 Disagree0

Why would we buy Valdes? Sczezney is definitely better than him

Sagna was on a easyjet flight this morning with his wife and a bald man, who came across as his agent.

Believable18 Unbelievable56

20 May 2013 19:33:12
how was it that he came across as his agent? because he was bald? or did he have a big sign on his back saying "Sagna's agent"

Agree3 Disagree0

Or it could of been a friend and they was going on holiday or abreak and how would some one know he was on a plane unless u was on it aswell

Agree0 Disagree0

You must have been blinded by the reflection of his bald head, his agent is still in France. tieing up a deal to go to PSG or Monaco

Agree0 Disagree0

Easy jet! Really! Lmao

Agree0 Disagree0

Sagna is reportedly in Spain with his wife.

Agree0 Disagree0

I have it on good authority that Sagna is currently on his way to the hairdressers.

Agree0 Disagree0

I didn't think top earners in the EPL flew with easyjet.

Agree1 Disagree0

Why on earth would Sagna, his wife and agent travel on Easy Jet - get real.

I would imagine they'd go Club at the very least.

Agree0 Disagree0

It's true, he flew out to Malaga on Easyjet today.

There are photos - And if the Ed's would allow them I'll post them. {Ed027's Note - Post them on the sightings page, that's what it is there for

Agree0 Disagree0

Thank you Ed.

I have now posted them. So if you would direct your attention to the sightings page, you'll see he was in fact travelling to Malaga today on Easyjet w/ the rest of us normal people.

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't think he would take his wife to a contract negotiation. so for me, it's a no

Agree0 Disagree0

Easy jet!?! no chance!!!1

Agree0 Disagree0

That's why we've had so many rumours from our Malaga gooner today - he's getting them straight from Madame Sagna and Kojak.

Agree0 Disagree0

I seen Sagna in pureto Banus shopping with his misses today 21/5/13

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes, easyjet like I said.

Im not one to lie, look at the pics.

Read today on a web site that Jovetic deal will be completed this week for £24 million. Thoughts?

Believable60 Unbelievable30

I saw that to

Agree0 Disagree0

Not my first choice but would be more than happy! COYG!

Agree0 Disagree0

I like the way this said "deal" gets more and more expensive every couple of days;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Im going to say Higuain first then jovetic.

especially if higuain costs less.

Agree0 Disagree0

20 May 2013 18:37:20
Sealed Deals.

Higuain

Jovetic

Sanogo


Wenger still wants a CDM to tighten up the midfield.

We don't really need any defenders, we've got the second best defensive record in the BPL. We might buy a RB if sagna goes.

Believable21 Unbelievable29

I would take one Centre Back or promote Miquel and give him game time because if Mertesacker gets injured and Vermealan is performing badly (not saying he will be players are not always in top form) then we have no experienced quality CB's to compete for the PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE

Agree0 Disagree0

We need another CB. You need 4 to compete across all fronts. Squid and Djourou are both out. What happens if Mert, Kos or TV5 go down?

Agree0 Disagree0

Why go and spend money on a player that we obviously have already.
Vermarlen or Gibbs can play in this role they are defensive minded and look good going forward save the money and spend it on a decent defender.

Front page news in France, Lyon want Gerv for €14m. Ha ha! I would have taken £3 and a happy meal.

Believable83 Unbelievable23

Have Lyon suddenly found a suger daddy or can it be a player Exchange! /RobbanSa

Agree0 Disagree0

If its true and they want him and we are interested in Gonalons, there must be a deal to be done here. Straight swap would be good.
Gooner 1920

Agree0 Disagree0

In a perfect world, this is a Gervinho/Gonzales switch.

Realisticaly. this ain't happening.

Billybob

Agree1 Disagree0

Yeah, right. Nothing on front page of L'équipe, nor or their website or any other french website I know.

Agree0 Disagree0

Swap for Gourcuff

Agree0 Disagree0

I know many people will disagree on this, but I still believe Gervinho has something to offer at the club. He started this season good, and I believe that if he getst the confidence he can do good.

Agree0 Disagree1

I'd have settled for the happy meal!

Agree0 Disagree0

Gourcuff?! r u mad

Agree0 Disagree0

I call BS. No mention whatsoever on l'Equipe website (yes, I can read French).

Agree0 Disagree0

And a HAPPY MEAL now that is being greedy.

Agree0 Disagree0

More like a warm can of coke & half eaten packet of crisps
