Lot of people saying that De Rossi will be sold this summer and Arsenal will go for him. I have to say given Roma's recent investment I'd have thought they'd be keen to keep hold of their vice-captain.

vertonghen will NOT be signed as he is left footed and wenger will never play 2 lefties at cb.

Cahill will NOT be signed. bolton will want 15mill minimum. wenger will NEVER pay that much for a cb (he'd rather pay 10mill for a second rate cb - koscielny)

Phil Jones for definate if blackburn go down if not phil jagielka are the preffered options.

id love to see micah richards but can't see that happening because of cost. he could replace sagna (dreadful season)

paul - rochester

Arsene Wenger won't change much of the current squad due to his typical theory. . he still want to proof to the rest of us that his Golden Selection will be the ONE. . The most he will add 3 more names. . 2 will be experience, EPL experience. . Any Comment? - King's of Arsenal

Arsenal going to do a major overhaul of the staff and players this summer. Wenger and Rice will get the flick and be replaced by Andre Villas-Boas as manager and Ray Wilkins as first team coach. Villas Boas will also bring a number of his back room staff (including his assistant manager) and players to the emiretes. he will look to create a new-look team with many of the current under preforming players leaving the club. Young players who will not make the first team will also leave.

Out

Arshavin - Zenit
Denilson - Bayern
Squillaci - Lille
Mannone - somewhere in italy
Rosicky - wolfsburg
Diaby - Lyon
Eboue - malaga
Bendtner - Ajax
Lansbury - Norwich
Eastmond - Southampton
Almunia - somewhere in Spain
Clichy - (wants out) real madrid
Fabregas - Barcelona
Nasri - Inter (wont sign new contract)

In

Silvestre Varela - highly impressive winger from Porto who's contract is up at the end of next season and could be available for 7-8mil. direct replacement for Arshavin

Hulk - another Porto player who would be willing to follow Villis-Boas to North London. Can play up front or on either wing and would be a huge boost to Arsenal's attack although he would be really expensive

Diego - Highly reliable experianced goal keeper who would mentor Sczeney. he would also be available for about 2mil from portugese side Vitoria

Andre Santos - Another portugese player, the highly rated defensive mid would battle with Song for the postion and would be available for 4-5mil from Sporting Lisbon

Pedro Geromel - Powerhouse Centre back who plays for fc koln in Germany. The brazilian defender is reportedly looking for a move away from the club and could be set for an 8mil transfer to north london

Marcel Schmelzer - dynamic left back for plays for Dortmund in germany. often compared to Ashley Cole, the defender could be available for 8mil and will replace Clichy

Mario Gotze - amazing 18yr old who also plays for dortmund and will take up fabregas' position as playmaker. has incredible potential but will cost around 20mil to sign.

Betinho - rising portugese forward who would add to arsenal's amazing youth team. just one of many young portugese players know to Villas-Boas.

I saw somewhere that Manchester City have made a 58 million dollar bid for Fabregas and a 40 million dollar bid for Modric.

Now i know that if fabregas leaves, he is going to barca but i mean 58 million dollars is a lot of money. with the 40 million dollar transfer kitty + selling all the crappy players + 58 mil for fabregas we could be looking at 140 mil+. With that sort of money we could bring in just about any player we want. Benzema wouldn't be an issue, nor would hazard, cahill or any of those guys that keep getting rumoured.

get rid of denilson 5mil, squilaci 2mil, almunia 2 mil, rocisky 7 mil, diaby 8 mil, bendtner 10 mil, Chamakh 9 mil. = 43 mil + 58 mil for fabregas = 101 mil. then you add 40 mil which we already have theres 141 mil.

buy akinfeev 23 mil, benzema 26 mil, hazard 19 mil, parker 9 mil, cahill 18 mil. = 95 mil

Akinfeev
Sagna
Cahill
Vermaelen
Clichy
Wilshere
Parker
Nasri
Walcott
Van Persie
Benzema

Even our bench would be quite good: Sczhesny, Koscielny, Ramsey, Hazard, Miyaichi, Arshavin.

As unrealistic as this may sound, i don't see much fault in this plan. Comments would be appreciated. Cheers.

Nick.

We all know that it has been reported that Wenger has £40m to spend this transfer window, but he has also been told that the money gained by selling starting XI players such as Fabregas, Nasri and Clichy, has to be spent on world class replacements.

Rumours in Italy about a possible move for £14m for De Rossi are circulating.

Apparently Nasri will stay if the Benzema transfer comes to fruition. There are mixed reports in Spain about this situation. From all the newspaper articles I read in spanish, it seemed like a pretty much done deal, but Snr Balague said no contact had been made.

Reports in France are saying Hazard preffers a move to Arsenal this summer but looks to Serie A in the future.

Sources: I read Italian, French and Spanish papers and their equivalent rumour pages (created by the ultras etc).

Possible line up next season:

Scezney

Sagna Samba Vertonghen Vermaelen*

Hazard De Rossi Wilshire Nasri

Van Persie

Benzema

Bench: Fabianski, Koscielny, Djourou, Eboue, Ramsey, Chamakh, Wallcott

I think wenger is trying to wrap up some deals if possible soon.

I thin between this week and next he could verbally agree to signing

1) Gervinho
2) Gary Cahill / Sakho / tasci

It looks like he will buy first and then sell to raise money, while also knowing that his most important positions are covered.

He will then sell fabregas, take in between 35-40 million.

Then bid for Hazard, with some financial backing, as he did say if they have to spend they will. Probably go to around 22-25 million.

Then Sell arshavin, and bendtner, raise more cash and then buy the small names. like given or schwarzer.

This makes sense as wenger makes money, gets his main player in hazard and get his lineup fix. while also not over spending.

Cause imagine wenger selling fabregas for 60 million and then wanting to buy cahill for 15. .bolton would refrain and soo would alot of clubs as they know that arsenal have the money to spend.

Arsene Wenger has said that he is in the market and willing to pay over the odds for english players if he has too: the only two english players i could see Arsene signing would be either Scott Parker (which redknapp has said Arsenal are after) or Cahill (who is optimistic over a Arsenal move)

Wenger also said there is one player he would spend over the odds for and is an exeption which i would guess is Hazard?

Pebbles.
