Have read rumour bout Nasri recommending Mehdi Benatia, a defender 6' 3, 23 years of age plays for Serie A side Udinese. Any body know if hes as good as Nasri says. If he is rumour says 8 mil will get him.

{Ed001's Note - Bojan has not played any extra games whatsoever, until the weekend when he came on to replace Pedro who picked up an injury. Mascherano has also not played any extra games, just those against the weaker opposition he has been facing all season. I don't know where you got that fantasy about the pair of them playing to raise their value from.}

It was a groin injury. Why is messi still playing with a knee strain? is he not important?

Its not fantasy. you can mark my post, highlight it if you wish. Mascherano, Bojan will certainly be gone. Does not have to be arsenal but they will be gone.

It is a method of letting your players prove themselves as well as marketing their value. A player sitting on the bench is not worth more than the one playing. Its common sense rather. {Ed001's Note - I know exactly what you are referring to, but they are not being played to raise their value. They might well end up being sold in the summer, but that is not why they are playing in the team.}

In Response to {We r goin to buy a couple of players in the summer.
here r some of the players that AW has being tracking:

goalkeepers:
1)reina 20mil
2)neuer 20mil
3)stekelenbury 12mil*

(AW wil bid for 3 first then 1 if he can't buy 3)

defenders:
1)izaquirre 8mil*
2)cahill 20mil
3)subotic 20mil*
4)hummels 15mil
5)vertonghen 15mil
6)kjaer 15mil

(AW wil buy 1 and wil bid for 3, 4, 5 and 6 if he doesn't get 1 of those he wil bid for 2)

midfielders:
1)ayew 10mil
2)hamsik 25mil*
3)hazard 20mil*

(AW wil bid for all of these players hope he buts 2 and 3 if fabregas leaves)

strikers:
1)benzema 25mil
2)lukaku 20mil*
3)cavani 30mil
4)neymar 30mil*

(I would like to see AW buy any of these strikers bcause there all class)
(i put a * bside the players i would like to come in)

players AW will sell:
randall 2mil
almunia 2mil
squillaci 3mil
diaby 5mil
bendtner 15mil
denilson 7mil
clichy 15mil
fabregas 45mil}

Arsne wenger will not spend over 5 million on a GK, with Scz proving to be good between the sticks, although a more proven GK is required, maybe retry for Given?

Defensive options won't be many. He will try to sell squillachi and possibly get in mexes on a free, Cahill is over-rated, vertonghen is a possibility. LB will be decided depending on clichy extension. If no extension clichy is wanted by madrid. izaguirre will depend on clichy. Nasri too is wanted by madrid.

Cesc is off to barcelona, they will try player swaps and cash to make it more along their line of payment. He will be their no1 target as summer opens.

Arsenal have first dibs on hazard. Now the price maybe a problem if it goes into a bidding war. Wenger does not want another ronaldo slipping away.

We will not be buying a world class striker, we have one (although injured most of the time) and buy a second choice striker who can play wing, if needed.

Fabregas, Denilson, bendtner, squillachi, Almunia On way out - Total Cash £40 million + players in fabregas swap.

Wenger believes in sell high and buy low.

Selling fabregas will bring in the players in the swap. Possibly Mascherano, Bojan, or thiago or some combination.

If Barcelona want clichy he will take maxwell or adriano, If not he will sell to madrid and buy izaguirre, for half clichy price.

He will make sure the only players he spends money on is the C defender and the defender would not cost over 12 million.

The problem with the arsenal squad if energy to give it their best.

Nasri seems to be on vacation or injured, cesc should have not played the CL game as he clearly was injured, and now is out even longer, Bendtner needs to go, almunia needs to go, denilson needs to go, arshavin needs to bring it every game or go, diaby needs to go.

Wilshere plays every game like he loves it. Ramsey seems to be the same way, a fighter. Van persie tries as hard as he can. Kos tries but needs to get better. Song has improved over the season.

We are missing walcott, fabregas and song, 3 players who make a difference.

Future predictions -

Fabregas to leave in summer for player exchange and cash to barcelona.

Nasri will be the next to go. I know real madrid are planning on pairing him up with oezil. how do i know. .well you will find out soon enough.

We need to replace them with experience and depth.

I can see ramsey and wilshere in the middle. Walcott on one wing and hopefully hazard on the other.

Mexes may come to arsenal, from what i hear he will need some convincing, hes leaving roma to win something.

Arsenal need energy in defense, Consistency in midfield and ruthlessness in attack.

The way barcelona played us in that second leg showed the belief they had in their squad. they knew they could beat us and they did. we need to earn our swagger.

Man Utd signing Alex Chamberlin in the summer.
Guess he's just too young for you old Gooners I suppose.
