I would love it, if we bought a good goalie but i don't see why AW would buy Maarten Stekelenburg if he is cup tied. don't think AW would do that. even tho i won't mind.

Ed what are your thoughts, who do you think will arrive at the emirates before the window shuts?

Arsenal will definitely sign squillaci and he will be revealed to the fans by Wednesday maybe even Tuesday!
I also believe that Stekelenburg will be announced Friday b, jut he will not play against Blackburn.

Starting line up against blackburn:
Almunia
Sagna-Koscielny-Vermaelen-Clichy
Walcott-Fabregas-Diaby-Arshavin-
Chamackh-V.Persie
Subs:wilshere, song, e-thomas, fabianski, denilson, eboue, gibbs

Hello fellow gooners, don't you think the boss is doing all his buisness very cagely , every transfer window he comes out and says we will be signing one more player and that's it , this year he has not i reckon he has a big signing or two left in him and i think he still will be signing MELO and SKETLENBURG . if that happens man city can spend all the money in the world and they still won't get close to us , ARSENE IS THE TRANSFER KING AND NEEDS TO BE THANKED FOR THAT SO ALL YOU ANTI ARSENE PEOPLE OUT THERE GET OFF HIS BACK.

BE VERY CAREFUL WHAT YOU WISH FOR !

Squallici will be officially anounced by 1 pm tommorow and will then be followed by the signing of a goalkeeper before friday, either Shay Given, Mark Schwarzer or Steklenburg, hopefully the later.

Arsenal line up once everyone is fit

Steklenburg (Schwarzer probobly)
Sagna Vermaelen Koscielny Clichy
Song
Fabregas Nasri
Arshavin V.Persie
Chamakh

Arsenal 2nd XI

Mannone
Traore Djourou Squallici Gibbs
Walcott Wilshere Ramsey Eboue
Vela Bendtner

You have to say both teams look pretty good

Can't wait until Rambo is back, he and wilshere will be the best centre mid partnership in years to come

Please post Ed

* * Melo * *
Was seen in the same North London restaurant, albeit on different tables, as Arsene Wenger. This was on the weekend of the Emirates Cup & the person who saw them, was an extremely reliable friend of mine (a gooness) & her Tootenham supporting boyfriend. Apparently, a person who appeared to be an agent went between the two tables.
I expect Wenger to go in late on this one, as has become his trademark. I am hoping this signing comes to fruition as Melo would add physical prescence to our team.

Sebastien Squillaci will be signed today, and announced on Tuesday. He will provide backup for Kolcielny, and don't be surprised if one more defensive player is signed before the deadline.

As far as the keeper situation. . . .no one knows!

Hello Ed

Great site, i read it everyday! Where is this Melo talk coming from again? any truth in it?
{Editor's note - I think it is just paper talk, and people wanting Arsenal to sign him}

Why has wenger signed a 30 year old defender on a 3 year deal yet gallas, campbell, pires etc were only offered the customary one year deal, surely had we offered gallas a 2 year deal he wouldn't have said no. Anyway for what its worth i reckon if we get the keeper in we ll stand a good chance this year. u heard anything on the keeper ed?
{Editor's note - I have not heard anything about a new keeper but I think Wenger is trying to get the fulham keeper}

I am a sunderland fan but would really like to see arsenal win the league( well i would rather sunderland but that isn't gunna happen anytime soon).

I have heard that sgullaci is a done deal and hugo lloris could be on the way. He is in the top 5 best goalkeepers in the world so would be a great signing. Arsenal only need a midfielder. I think Melo is perfect and could be coming early this week. Also gourcouf and van der vart could come if Melo deal fails.

Squillaci is definitely going to sign. To be OFFICIALLY confirmed on tuesday.

Schwartzer will also sign before blackburn's game.

Ed why are the tasci and subotic rumours dying out?
And I thought that a fee was agreed with a German club for a defender?
So What . . . Please Reply
{Editor's note - The rumours are dying because a bid for the Sevilla defender was accepted}

So were the rumours true
i mean we could still add a defender . .or not

{Editor's Note: It is the bid for Sebastien Squillaci that has been accepted.}

No seems to mention, the fairly reliable source of NOW chief football reporter announcing that Schwarzer had FAILED a medical at Arsenal, due to a knee problem. . . .

Schwarzer to be signed ~ Will occur late in window, as Fulham are desperately searching for a replacement. They are fully aware that Schwarzer wants to leave for Arsenal & are being awkward to achieve as high a price as possible, whilst they find a new keeper & know Arsenal are desperate to replace Almunia.
Melo ~ In negotiations, hence the idiotic Manninger comments. Right club, wrong player!
Only other signing will be a further central defender, but highly unlikely, especially if we manage to acquire Melo, as this will free Song up as a 5th choice centre back, if necessary.

Wenger looking at selling almunia for 2.5 million.

Not sure if this is to fund for Mark.S or just recoup some cash.

He is trying to get some interest from italy, or trying to do a swap.

I don't know Wenger or any board director or any groundsman, read this on another forum, from a poster who is credible to my knowledge.

Arsenal will sign Sebastien Squillaci as long as he passes his medical, with Laurent Koscielny still as our first choice and Sebastien as back up, which is why we paid more for Laurent and also got him first! with this deal about to be done either today or tomorrow morning we got time to put our mind to a new goalkeeper with Almunia unsettled, Schwarzer still looks the most likely, even though there's arguments why deal aint done yet is because wenger don't want to pay more than 2mil and Hughes wants more but will be happy with 3mil specially after their second choice keeper proved he can do the job against man utd! We won't get ajax keeper his cup-tied and wenger only goes for 2 trophies every year the league and champions league so no chance! As long as we get another keeper league is ours! GUNNERS!

Alex Manninger deal moving quickly. He wants to return to Arsenal and Wenger wants him back. Juventus still holding out for 4.5 million.

This will go through if Wenger can't get other targets.

Arsenal Rumours
Arsenal are locked in talks with Juventus for former keeper Alex Manninger. He is rated as the best current No 2 in the world, and is a very able replacement for Buffon.

Arsenal are pushing hard for a loan deal, also offering Juventus Armand Traore to go the other way.

Juve are holding out for 4.5 million, plus Vela. Vela will not be going the other way permanantly as wanted by Juve, but Wenger may allow him to go on loan.

Everton fan here. .

Just to let you know, there are strong reports from merseyside tonight, suggesting Jagielka want to leave the club, in favour of a "top four club". I would want a big fee though, he is a top quality center half
