Arsenal Rumours Archive July 25 2014

Callum chambers has had a medical for us, great potential! Wonder what this means for Jenko?

All over early editions of tomorrows papers with estimates of fee ranging from £7-12m.
Another one from off the radar that few saw coming.

And Bellerin as well

Eds are we interested?

{Ed001's Note - yes, this is hardly off the radar, it has been rumoured for ages, but was overshadowed by the Aurier talk at your end and the sales of Lallana, Lambert, Lovren etc at the Southampton end. They have been in talks all along, which is why there was so much talk of Jenkinson being moved on, as he is to replace him.}

He plays all across the back tbf, think Wenger eyes him as a centre back tbh

25 Jul 2014 23:46:01
He could be back up CB

Bye bye Jenkinson

Both Jenko and Bellerin are expected to be loaned out.
They need game time to progress more.
I'm not sure Jenko will make it for is (though I hope he does) but Callum chambers is more versatile in that he can play right back or centre back, whereas Jenko is primarily a right back.

Anything else being overshadowed about Ed that we wouldn't know about? Still hoping for a DM

{Ed001's Note - it still looks like being Schneiderlin, as he is likely to push a move through now.}

Ed01 you've made my day. Add Schneiderlin too our team now and I'm over the moon.

{Ed001's Note - you still have to compete with the lure of playing for his previous manager, so don't get ahead of yourself!}

Very true Ed, just get Wenger of the phone to him and he'll be on his way in no time!

Champions league seems to do things to players too

Are we really to sign another keeper after David Ospina? I would be amazed if we were to sign Casillas . Also see that Southampton have slapped a fee of 27,000,000 on Morgan Schneiderlin, if correct then AW will run a mile .

Really hope the schneiderlin news isn't true. Would like to see him at the club, maybe not that much as bender but from what I'm seeing he isn't an option.

27m for Schneiderlain is ridiculous he's very good at what he does but for 27m I'd want the player to be more wholesome as player, played in CL and excelled, starter for his country etc it's a bit over exorbitant.

Hi eds,

Any truth in that AC Milan are interested in doing a deal for €9.5m and Joel Campbell for Ballotelli?

Sounded quite cheap when I heard it

{Ed027's Note - No

25 Jul 2014 12:40:42
Eds, are AC Milan interested in Joel Campbell?

{Ed027's Note - yes

Could it be work so we get Balotelli & they get Campbell somehow?

Personally would rather have Campbell he is a future star and showed it at the world cup and baloteli is a hot headed thug who hasn't got the temperament required to play in english football simples

I'm intrigued that Wenger is resting the 3 World Cup Germans and they will miss the start of the season. I can understand resting Ozil as he played in all the matches, but Mertesacker & Podolski trained, but didn't play in the latter stages of the tournament. We need to get off to a good start and have a congested start to the campaign, so we need all hands on board.

25 Jul 2014 08:26:13
As far as I understood he is obliged by FIFA to give them 4 weeks of rest or something.

Wait are they actually going to miss the first games? What the.

Mertesacker played in the final

Man1ac, if that were the case wouldn't all returning world cup players be governed by the same rules?

POLY

Per played about 58 seconds

I think stuff like this is a joke, the longer they get off the more time it will take to get match fit again, and correct me if I am wrong but is nt pre season when you jel with your team mates and try out different strategies and tactics? ozil definitely needs a pre season as his did not get one last year, the other 2 maybe not, and this also means we will be adopting the same tactics as last year, so wenger clearly has learnt nothing from last season and nothing from the World Cup!

Man1ac is right. And all players are Robbie. From the day that they are released by the national squad they have 4wks

Ed, you said regarding Roberto firmino that both arsenal and inter are pushing for a deal, does that mean a bid has been made by either club? or has it been just talks between the clubs?
also regarding iker Casillas, is the interest in him from arsenal serious? or is Ospina the primary target? Thanks

{Ed027's Note - don't know if one has been made yet, but there will certainly be an offer sooner or later. On GK's Ospina will join next week

Thanks ed, if the bid is from arsenal and we sign him, could be a promising signing, but may also mean possible departure? hmm
btw ed, sorry bout the questions, but do you have any info regarding the interest in Nastasic? rumours or genuine interest? Thanks
