Arsenal accept 6 Million bid for Chamakh from Stoke

Believable35 Unbelievable60

Nonsense, his not strong enough for stokes football. Plus every rumour on giroud signing is with us including chamakh in the deal

Agree0 Disagree0

Had no idea Chamakh had a talent for rugby. Hasn't shown much of an aptitude for football at Arsenal, so should fit right in at Stoke

Agree0 Disagree0

Chamakh won't be part of the Giroud deal, I wouldn't doubt this but I think chamakh will go back to france, doubt Stoke can afford his wages.

Agree0 Disagree0

Giroud has the same style as chamack. Chamack was also a prolific goal scorer in france.

Agree0 Disagree0

How do you know chamakh won't be apart of the giroud deal? " he wants to go back to France and play first team football? I've seen it reported to be in this deal on various reports including The mirror, bbc football and even the independent. So don't be so confident. Unless your on the board mate

Agree0 Disagree0

I've seen the reports too and Montpellier wanted to do a loan deal but it's not happening because the transfer fee is already taken care of, it's been about 2 weeks since chamakh was linked with a swap deal. I don't need to be on the board to know it...

Agree0 Disagree0

Also the independent that reported it, now report its just a 13 mil fee with no chamakh swap.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol @ chamack being prolific goalscorer in france.. 56 goals in 230 games

Agree0 Disagree0

Chamakh scored 76 goals in 301 appearances in all competitions for Bordeaux, I'd hardly call that prolific.

Giroud's career stats are 93 goals in 216 games.

Stezza.

Agree0 Disagree0

Stoke are favourites to sign Michael Owen so doubt the would bother with chamakh

Paul - Rochester

Agree0 Disagree0

Where do people come to the conclusion that Chamakh was prolific in Ligue 1? He score 11 goals in his last season there, that's hardly prolific is it?

And comparing Giroud and Chamakh is just useless - Giroud is bigger, faster, stronger, has a killer left foot and a decent right foot. Chamakh can only use his head.

Agree0 Disagree0

Since when was Chamack a prolific goal scorer in france. his highest goals scored in all comp is like 14 or 15 goals including champions league. giroud scored 21 league goals 25 in all comps

Agree0 Disagree0

How could we get rid of such a good looking striker to the Ugly football.? Lol

Agree0 Disagree0

Chamahk was not a "prolific scorer" in France - he scored the most number of headed goals for Bordeaux once, in the Champions Lge - Giroud does not = Chamahk

Agree0 Disagree0

There was talk of Chamakh being included as part of the Giroud deal, but the loan deal broke down as Montpellier wanted Arsenal to pay his wages which we weren't willing to do. Chamakh will most likely remain at Arsenal next season or be loaned to a non English club to rediscover some form and get some playing time, possibly back to Bordeux. A

Agree0 Disagree0

A this is brilliant, I know some Stoke fans who constantly bring up 'Chamook' when they taunt me about my soft faerie team with s**t players on it. WELL YOU'RE ABOUT TO ACTUALLY PAY MONEY FOR ONE

Agree0 Disagree0

Stoke fans don't have the right to taunt anyone about anything, especially having s**t players. Their team's full of them. If it was up to people like Tony Pulis, football would consist of gangs of mutant young men trying to kick a severed human head from one village to the next.

Agree0 Disagree0

I'd love to see that. Good money for a s**t player.

sources close to arsenal have told me of a move for higuain if rvp leaves

mitch

Believable19 Unbelievable52

Dont believe it but would be a good shout maybe

noobGooner

Agree0 Disagree0

Id welcome this i love RVP but got a feeling if he stays and doesnt start new season on fire he will regret not leaving and want away in january which will cause probs in dressing room etc if we do sell him please not to city or any ova prem side..higuain is class will score alot of goals with service

Agree0 Disagree0

I know this is for ruhmours but can u lot help me with the best people to follow on twitter with the most reliable sources n transfer gossip etc

Cheers


Zac (newby)

Reporting as been on this site for over a month now and no matter how much I post stuff it is NEVER put up! Begginibg to really piss me off!

Agree0 Disagree0

"Sources close to Arsenal" - aye the Big Issue seller outside the Emirates.

Agree0 Disagree0

There are no reliable sources when it comes to genuine 100% proof evidence of transfers, other than the football club themselves. I just use twitter to speak with other arsenal fans, and its amazing how many of them try to pawn off info like they are in the boardroom with wenger themselves. I do believe this site should be renamed arsenalspeculation.co.uk

Agree0 Disagree0

The only player coming to replace RVP is already here: Podolski. Why do you think the notoriously slow out of the blocks and reluctant to spend AW was so quick to do the deal? It's because RVP is on his way, but was honest enough to inform the club of his intentions early.

Agree0 Disagree0

I think arsenal should sign ricardo fuller or rolf harris

Agree0 Disagree0

^^^ no arsenal should sign the legands that are heskey and owen

Agree0 Disagree0

Van Persie has said Dutch TV that he will not likely play for Arsenal Next season.

If this is true, we definitely need a new striker to get us to 3rd place again.

Believable40 Unbelievable28

We've just bought two strikers you idiot.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah right spud, just because your team is going down the pan. Dream on

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry, exactly where did you see this interview?

337

Agree0 Disagree0

We have chamack so relax.

Agree0 Disagree0

What a load of nonsense. Cannot understand why you would post crap like this and worse still believe it. If he did say this it would be all over BBC & Sky!

Agree0 Disagree0

Rvp wont be the same next season but i still think we need to hang on to him.

Agree0 Disagree0

3rd place! we should be going for 1st...

Agree0 Disagree0

Lies! The truth is van Persie is staying at Arsenal and Arsenal will win the league!

Agree0 Disagree0

Someone give the spud a round of applause.

it must kill you seeing us sign 2 strikers while you cant get anybody half decent to join your team.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes, we tried to sign him, but for less.
Soon hell be worth much more than 17m. We were interested in him [before he signed for Dortmund]. ~ Arsene Wenger on French TV Station TF1

Believable23 Unbelievable21

Marco reus?

Agree0 Disagree0

This guy is talking about Reus by the way

Agree0 Disagree0

Who are you talking about, kagawa?

Agree0 Disagree0

About reus..?

Agree0 Disagree0

Oh please give it up obs not true...

Billy BoB bANG

Agree0 Disagree0

Bbb This Has Been Quoted By Aw Get A Clue.

Agree0 Disagree0

Martin

Agree0 Disagree0

Who??

Agree0 Disagree0

Reus plays for gladbach not Dortmund, Goetse possibly

Agree0 Disagree0

In who?

Agree0 Disagree0

Reus just signed for Dortmund.

Agree0 Disagree0

Reus signed a pre-contract with dortmund a few months ago {Ed002's Note - Not a pre-contract but he agreed to sign.}

Agree0 Disagree0

I tihnk Wenger was simply being complimentary of the player...

Reus developed at the BVB youth system. He has always wanted to go back.

Van Persie contract seen as very important at board level. Arsenal starting too feel thy need to win some off field battles in order to gain on field success.

Believable12 Unbelievable5

He's the highest paid player at the club as it is, any new contract will dwarf his existing one yet still will be nowhere near the levels man city could offer.
for the sake of team development/morale its best to hold onto him and let him see his contract out, we might lose out on 20m fee but we won't be paying him 20m contract worth for the next 4 years. for the sake of one season unlike with nasri its worth forsaking any transfer request to have an truly world class striker with us.

Agree0 Disagree0

Thanks for stating the bleeding obvious. If our directors did not think this before then they should not have been on the board.

Agree0 Disagree0

Let me reiterate that M'Vila will NOT be signing. Don't get your hopes up.

Ben

Believable23 Unbelievable57

@Ben, What are you talking? M'vila is done. And if you don't believe that we are even interested, then look at what m'vila himself said! Sport trend, the most reliable twitter account i've ever seen say that it a done deal for a long time now. And they have nothing wrong till now. They are the first reliable twitter account, which is no bulls**t. Look at their TL and you see that what they tell us, everything comes out.Podolski, Giroud, Pogba, Hulk, Hazard. He was the first to say it. Just wait and you will see tthat m'vila is an arsenal player. 100% sure. So ben, stop talking things you don't know.

Dutchman

Agree0 Disagree0

Stop talking bs, he will sign

Agree0 Disagree0

Ben, I have it on great authority that he will, lets see who is right and more reliable eh? You can't change your mind this time, and maybe we will see you for who you truly are.

Tommy P

Agree0 Disagree0

Now tell me how ru so sure

Agree0 Disagree0

What's your evidence and where will he end up?

Paul - Rochester

Agree0 Disagree0

Despite multiple far more reliable sources say he already has? What are your sources mate? Are you a journalist? I know he'll be signing straight from Miss Arsenal, Matt Spiro, Prince-Bates have all said he has

Agree0 Disagree0

Why is this?

Elliott

Agree0 Disagree0

And let me reiterate you're wrong... Why're you doing this to yourself, Ben?

_DialSquare_

Agree0 Disagree0

Why won't he sign? are you his agent?

Agree0 Disagree0

What you mean is you don't think he will. Really, no matter what drivel you spill, you have no more idea than the rest of us. You just realise you've got a 50/50 chance of being right, and if you are, you'll claim how right you were and mention your sources. If he signs you'll not say a thing cos nobody will care what you said anyway because you're not that interesting.

Agree0 Disagree0

Mate. Please. I told you it's done. SPORTSTREND WON'T get it wrong. It IS DONE

NW

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow Ben mate I feel sorry for you, wasn't expecting that kind of reaction. Just shows if people don't hear what they want to hear.

I think his purchase will depend on the future of Diaby. Arsene likes to keep faith with current squad members so it is perfectly plausible.

In Arsene I Trust.

Agree0 Disagree0

Hes rubbish anyway

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont need him, i dont know why everyone thinks we should, i mean we got song, wilshere, arteta, ramsey, frimpong, need a more of a cenre attacking midfeilder who is quick and skillful

Agree0 Disagree0

Never believe any rumours till i see the player sign the contract

Agree0 Disagree0

Because we need a natural sweeper song isn't that so m'vila will be and let song move forward more and m'vila can protect the back 4

Agree0 Disagree0

A hoax twitter post from Neil Fairweather.with Michael Atherton, trying to wind up Piers Morgan.
Oh how funny these celebs are!

Agree0 Disagree0

He will sign, that is all.

Giroud set to sign a four year contract after the euros

Believable43 Unbelievable7

Obviously. we already knew that

Agree0 Disagree0

It's a 5 yr contract

Agree0 Disagree0

23 Jun 2012 00:56:35
Told you chaps. More rumours of M'Vila. It's done. "Everything was in place when Arsenal beat Spurs 5-2"

Also why do some fans want Dzagoev? Looks a tidy player but he's Russian. They don't particularly do well in the Premiership....


NW

Believable30 Unbelievable11

Maybe this Russian will be different, obviously seems to have the skills...worth taking a shot at for the right price.

Agree0 Disagree0

They Do Well Al First Then Drop Off.

Agree0 Disagree0

Pogrebnyak and pavlyuchenko didnt do 2 bad in premiership

Agree0 Disagree0

Besides arshavin? what russians haven't done well. I assume you will say yuri zhirkov. But then that would just show how stupid and ignorant you really are as he was barely given any chances to make a real impact. as he was plagued with injuries and often when he was fit his lb role was occupied by a certain ashley cole, whom many regard as one of the worlds best, but if you do remember when cole was out injured zhirkov excelled and played well for a period of games before he picked up another injury. Also arshavin did amazing for his first half season, his second didnt live up to 'expectations' yet he still scored 10 goals from the lw. since then he has dwindled as he is no longer considered a top player, no doubt he still is but he has fallen down the pecking order.

Agree0 Disagree0

Daftest comment ever re: Russians. Such a pathetic outlook on people, completely fails to take into account the strengths of an individual. I love the way 'gooners' forget that for a season and a half, Arshavin was the most exciting player in our league, so think again mate. Dzagoev is class. Are you saying if he was French he would be a good signing?

Agree0 Disagree0

Easy to say when only a hand full of Russians have played here in the PL and what about the Italians and the Spanish? They have had 10 fold more player in the PL then the Russians have and most have gone no where just a select few so to determine 1 individual against many others which i may add come from a colder climate to begin with is silly really.

But lets be honest Dzagoev, do we really need him? Time will tell and timing for his signing will be perfect for end of his contract.

Lets not be greedy lets be happy with what we got so far and say anything else is a bonus. I'm well happy if Giroud goes through as it adds to our att options and then will help if RVP gets injured. We really should not rely on 1 player so much.

Bring back Jack and forget M'villa let Song learn a more defencive roll (another season atleast) and maybe he will become the more complete player and bingo we have a more determined, more att minded squad with goals from all angles instead of being predictable for managers as to close RVP down.

Stay faithfull, be a fan, and remember you support a team for the team through good and bad. Not just for winning trophies.

Gavsta

Arsenal through and through till i die (tatoo's to prove it)

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry forgot to add. That does not mean that I dont want M'villa as I think he will be a great addition, but extra strength in depth allways helps. I also think defencively that Song has a little way to go so may be a good thing.

Gavsta

Agree0 Disagree0

Arahavin looked good first two years and this guy is nowhere near as good as arahavin was! It's tournament hype people need to chill

Agree0 Disagree0

Mr long text could u point out the russians that have done well :)

Agree0 Disagree0

Sorry Boys. I wasn't clear there. I mean he won't do it consistently.

NW

Agree0 Disagree0

Pobrenak was good for fulham...

Agree0 Disagree0

Sure the English havnt done well in the last 10 world cups. They should just stay at home next time

Word around twitter n fb>>>>> Arsenal have agreed a fee with Rennes for defensive midfielder Yann M'Vila. The fee is £14million rising to a potential £18million, and will become the Gunners all time record signing if he passes a medical and signs a contract after Euro 2012 finishes.
BOSSARSENAL!! :)))))

Believable41 Unbelievable13

Will Mvilla play along side song? because dat wud be one defensive beastly duo, jus what we need! with song going forward as he does so we wont compromise our attack!

Agree0 Disagree0

Think we need to spend more than $18million as a record buy if we're gonna realistically compete for major honours next year. I hope rumours about ozil are true. But with arsenal I don't have great confidence. Think we need a good back up for Sagna and I still believe a good left back as Gibbs isn't te greatest. I think Ekouto from dare I say our neighbours would be a great buy!

Agree0 Disagree0

Firstly if song stays - another player who has entered his final year of contract, he will be given a more forward role! With the announcement on Arsenal.com, do not expect M'Vila to remain our biggest transfer fee for to much longer. No names just watch this space!

Agree0 Disagree0

Song. Jack. Mvilla. With Arteta popping in also to rotate

Then 3 attack minded players in the front 3 would free up Theo etc from tracking back so much

I like it !,

SY4

Agree0 Disagree0

Ok so where will wiltshire and arteta fit in??...talking out of ass i think

Agree0 Disagree0

If you play Song with Mvilla where does that leave Wilshere and Arteta, personally, if mvilla comes I think Song should drop down the pecking order

Agree0 Disagree0

We dont need another cdm ffs we need attacking midfeilders

Agree0 Disagree0

How do we need attacking players?
we have walcott, chamberlain wiltshire, gervihno poldolski van persie giroud arteta rosicky.
im happy from what im hearing tbh just need a gk to give shezney bit of competition.
