Arsene will make 3 signings in the summer.1 will be a striker, the other a top class midfeider, and the other is a goalkeeper, who i believe will come from Udinese, and apparently we have agreed a deal for him.

I expect Chamakh to go this summer, Campbell to come back or go out on loan again, and Afobe to step up. If we sign Podolski, I can't see us signing another striker too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Podolski Would Be Arshavins Replacement.

I don't understand the disagree's it all looks likely to me, I don't know who the goalkeeper will be but other than that I agree.

Udinese? Do you mean Samir handanovic?

Can't see it mate, we wanted him a while back, as did united, but since shezza has cone good and is probably the best keeper in his age range, bar maybe joe hart but now he's 25/6 he won't play second fiddle at a club.

If you mean some unknown 18yr old then forget the above!

If it is Samir Handanovic you're talking about, I really can't see the move happen. He is arguably the best goalkeeper in Serie A for about 2 years now. I am Slovene (as is Handanovic) and he is more than pleased with his current role in Udinese + Udine is a city very close to Slovenian border and Handanovic really likes this fact. And he will be turning 28 this year.

Agree0 Disagree0

I also dont understand the disagrees?? Firstly, Fabianski hasnt looked the part & it was reported he wants to leave for 1st team football, so a new keeper is on the cards. The new striker is a definite, Wenger himself has stated that we need an option to play instead of RVP & a quality midfield player, could still be on the cards,but I am a bit hesitant as we have many options once Wilshere & Abu Diaby return from injury.

Agree0 Disagree0

"Will come from Udinese" would be my guess buddy!

Handovic is their captain or something it won't be him. Their Polish keeper isn't good enough to polish Sir Chezzers boots, and the other guy I just never heard of.

That would be my guess but who knows some people are just disagreeable lol

I get that though, it bugs me too people are quick to slate comments but don't leave any reasons why...Hmmm maybe they don't know why they just disagree?

Adler is the keeper...he is free agent in the summer

Supposedly Madrid Want Wojech And Robin.

Who wouldn't lol?

Agree0 Disagree0

Who doesn't?!

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm sure Shezza has a long term contract, which means we can abd would charge a huge fee plus casillas is still good for years yet, he's only 30 which ain't bad for a keeper, Shezza won't play second fiddle!

That's not me shooting the messenger, that's just me wishing the media wouldn't spout such rubbish.

Robin won't leave this year either, we can afford to let him leave in the end of season next year on a free

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont see madrid replacing casilias

Agree0 Disagree0

Pap talk methinks, Barca get connected with all our best players every season it's the same.


Yyyyyaaaawwwwwwnnnnnn.....!

Cesc was always going back from day 1, and apart from that nobody we couldn't replace ever went there.

Wenger is smarter than he gets credit for kicking out the old chaffy players when they can be replaced well with younger ones.

He got speared for selling Nasri, but now he looks a shadow of the player we sold, good money!

Clichy would have been good money on a free he's crap now too.

Gallas is a traitor, Bentley is poo, Hleb did bugger all after he left (and bugger all before he left to be fair).

Only good players are worth keeping if somebody wants to chuck a suitcase of cash on the table for somebody who we can replace that easily I say take the money every single time!

Lol here's a good one Bendtner "best striker on Earth" to Barca for Ł18M

Any news on the Carlos Vela situation? The guys got great class with his chip finishing goals, something I think our forwards have been missing. He has a calmness infront of goal and knows how to get the ball in the back of the net.

I'm pretty certain with the progress of miyaichi at Bolton, Wenger probably won't buy another winger but will get Podolski and maybe a midfielder such as m'villa.

The Vela thing has bugged me for YEARS, he's a great finisher, very quick and is good in the build up, his main downside is his not very physical at all, standing at 5"10 he's not that imposing, and he's not really of a strong build, wenger sent bendtner on loan basically because we couldn't sell him due to not agreeing fees with clybs who were interested and he wanted to leave so loaning him out was our only viable option, with vela it was a case of getting him experience, robin was always intended as our main striker, chamakh as his back up/partner and park as a reserve, if push came to shove we had theo and ever Gervinho who could cover the forward role, that was the plan anyway, what actually happened was robin blossomed due to no injuries (please god, let it stay like that for the last games!) chamakh never found his form from his first half of his debut year, and despite park being deployed in the cups, he's only made one epl appearance due to wenger not thinking he's ready for the epl ( unless there's a drastic turnaround in the last few games expect him to leave)

Now bendtner WILL leave this year, I think he may even be out of contract (not 100%) and assuming Campbell gets a permit that gives us 5 first team strikers when we only play one, ideally I'd like chamakh and park to go leaving the three of robin Carlos and Joel, ideally with Joel off on loan to Bolton if poldi joins.

My concern is vela himself already said he wants first team football, and he'd leave if he doesn't get it, that's not in the spoilt brat bendtner way, but in the "I need to develop" sense, vela could be better than chicharito if you ask me, but we've stunted his growth, maybe we need to let him leave

Agree0 Disagree0

He needs to get his arse down to the gym! He disappears when he is man marked because he doesn't like getting involved in physical battles - because he usually loses.

It's fair to say that if he were to bulk up in the same way Van Persie has (and Ronaldo had to) then he would become a far better more effective player.

I can't see him sticking around though if he doesn't and he will most likely end up a championship striker, which would be a great shame because he is very skillful.

Ive got a feeling hes like dos santos at the spuds and likes clubbing too much.

A GOONER

Agree0 Disagree0

Vela has never had a run of games for Arsenal. We can only judge him off the back of carling cup performances and occasional sub entries. He is talented, the world cup showcased his national sides talents, and he was a good performer. As someone else said, let him bulk up and get a bit tougher, and bring him back into the first team set-up.

Agree0 Disagree0

Sadly I think vela is a bit like Reyes. Talented player - but cant settle in England. I think we should sell him and give Joel campbell and miyachi a chance

Agree0 Disagree0

I think he's a great player, but just not suited to the PL

Agree0 Disagree0

I dont think Vela will return, he is more suited to Spanish football. As for M'Vila, he would be a good signing, but we have so many quality midfield players, I cant see how we will fit more into the team. Podolski, sounds perfect.
Midfield options:
Song Arteta
Walcott Wilshere Gervinho

or/&
Frimpong Ramsey
Ox Rosicky Miyaichi


We also have Coquelin.


That makes 10 midfield/att midfield options for 5 places. Wenger may allow Frimpong & Miyaichi out on loan for another season, but I cant see the sense in signing M'Vila, unless a player is leaving. We already have too many players whi will want to play regularly. We still own Arshavin & Denilson!

Who needs Ronaldo when you have Arteta to take your free kicks?
WHAT A STRIKE.
