Arsenal have bid £4million for Celtics Mexican defender Juarez. I realise he has just signed for Celtic but they will make £2 million profit for just turning him over to Wenger. Everyone was talking about it at the Celtic game at the weekend. Watch this space.

Wenger is about to sign Blaise Matuidi.
This is SO going to happen. Everyone who works at the Emirates knows, he was at the ground last Tues.

Why would he have gone to the emirates, he would of been at the colney. It makes sense arsenal signing him but there has been no news of him signing throughout the summer

Wengers press conference was a day early because we have an early kick off on Saturday and the team are travelling earlier on Friday. If he hasn't signed a keeper by Tuesday he should be sacked as the choice of keepers at the club is a complete joke and he is responsible

Schwarzer in. that's it

Arsenal Rumours
Wenger said at his press confrence his finished domestically in the Transfer W. Which means no players are coming in from English clubs or going out to other English clubs. So no Given or Schwarzer or any other player linked who's at a English club will be coming in. This probably means his looking at Mickael Landreau to be the Arsenal No.1. As for CB's Michael Ciani from Bordeaux or Juan from AS Roma.

To the guy who posted this: This is the news nobody wants, he doesn't rule it out, but judging by this he could be willing to keep confidence in A-lmoody-a, Flapianski and Manobodey. I agree with you about Almunia and Fabianski. But there is no way you can judge Vito Mannone. This lad is 21, and has only played a handful of games for Arsenal. Most notably an outstanding man-ofthe-match display against fulham, look it up on youtube. This guy is superb, and is one for the future, he can fill in when needed just let him develop. BTW, couldn't thing of a witty pun for Wojech Sczenzy then?!

Arsene Wenger Always comes out and says that we are no where close to signing anyone, there are 5 days left, which is a lot of days specially for wenger to do a transfer, because all he needs is one day

Looks like Wenger is lookin for a midfielder

According to French broadcaster TF1 we have bid 12 mil for ben arfa (really hard to believe due to problems with diaby)

And. . .

According to Italian website Calcio Mercato Web it is a straight fight between us and a german club for benfica midfielder Yebda, who was on loan at Portsmouth last season (think I'd prefer ben arfa)

MELO OR MONTOLIVO?
GIVEN OR SCHWARZER?
CIANI OR JUAN?
AKINFEEV OR STEKELENBURG?

LOTS OF CHOICES

A goalkeeper is looking less likely as the days pass. .

Offcial Arsene Wenger quote:
"He thinks that signing another could undermine his existing options, although he is not ruling out more transfer activity before the window closes.
"We are where we are - we have four great keepers and it is important we give confidence to them for the next game, " Wenger said.
"I do not rule it out, but at the moment I say I am not in a position to sign anybody. At the moment, it is all dead."

This is the news nobody wants, he doesn't rule it out, but judging by this he could be willing to keep confidence in A-lmoody-a, Flapianski and Manobodey. .

Squillaci is signed, expect another player, a keeper! Arsene wenger usually says he doesn't want players if he doesn't but regarding the keeper situation he said "We are where we are - we have four great keepers and it is important we give confidence to them for the next game.

"I do not rule it out but at the moment I say I am not in a position to sign anybody. At the moment, it is all dead."

therefore he wants to keep the keepers in a position where their mind is set on football but he will try get a keeper, no cup-tied keepers, most probably fulham keeper! just waiting for the right time.

Arsene Wenger wants to sign one more defener, possibly steven taylor from newcastle because he is now up for sale.
As for a keeper schwarzer and given are now out the frame and there being linked with a 7 million pound bid for 31 yar old french keeper landrau.
As far as midfielders both van der vaart and ben arfa have been linked. But both of them looked destined for other clubs, ben arfa - newcastle, van der vaart- schalka 04.

Re: "the guy who said we would get Aguero is on crack" ha , you are right. . Kun Aguero NEVER gonna happen. . . Wont get Stekelenburg Ajax qualified so he will stay put. . Akinfeyev or Given in my own personal opinion. . .

I really doubt we will sign anothwer player beyond a defender/goalkeeper. .

Signing Melo will not happen, we could have done it already and we didn't and people saying "sign Melo and Use Song as a Defender" 5th Choice! ! ! ! Hell no, Alex Song has been a shining light in a pretty un-impressive 2 years. . Signing Montilivo won't happen, 18m is a "joke". .

We will sign Squillaci (To the guy giving out about tha seplling yeasterdy, GROW UP), , , Stev Taylor or some 16 year old. . Schwarzer or Given or Akinfiyev, anyone else is just media bull* *

To this guy:

Please god no S.Taylor would prefer anyone to him
eden Hazard has never been that impressive either and don't think were short of creative midfielders so wouldn't put any substance in that one. Schwarzer never gonna happen now wenger had plenty of chance to sign him so can't see it. I hear Vertoghen and Steklenberg are front runners to finish of the spending would like both signings personally. Plus Wellington coming in january so.

Would you prefer Pascal Cygan?

And everyone saying Shcwarzer isn't going to happen, it is! You don't make 2 bids for someone, they put in a transfer request and you say you would like him at the club just to sign Given. We have showed too much interest in him and it would brake his heart!

I'm expecting another defender (mainly because Wenger said he wanted one and he always gets his man) but i doubt it will be Taylor, in my opinion it will be Ciani!

I would love so much for Melo or Montolivo to come at the end of the window but i think that's very wishful thinking.

And last but not least, the guy who said we would get Aguero is on crack.

BRING HOME THE TITLE! !

I think the hold up with the SEBASTIEN SQUILLACI signing could be down to newcastle defender STEVEN TAYLOR being tranfer listed. Arsenal would get him for no more than we would pay for SQILLACI but TAYLOR is only 24. Despite other peoples posts Taylor is a class defender. Its about time we had another english CB.

As for WENGER being at the AJAX game it will be solely to see CHRISTIAN ERIKSEN. He wil be our 1 and ONLY signing in JANUARY as he will be FABREGAS's replacement next season.

Arsenal press conference this afternoon, moved foward a day. This possibly could be were Sebastian Squillaci is presented to media, then presented to the fans.

Steeklenberg is now looking highly unlikely as Ajax have now qualified for CL. So schwazer may be on his way it seems sadly.

There is also a large possibility that another defender could come in, who i have no idea? ? Ed, any clues?

{Editor's Note: I have heard nothing, but Squillaci seems likely.}

26 Aug 2010 03:34:29
Unlikely that Wenger will spend on another center back, but im sure he has a signing or possibly two up hes sleeve.

I am 100% certain Arsenal will buy another keeper, Wenger wants a big keeper, and usualy the bigger they are, the older they are. Asmir Begovic from stoke could be a surprise target for Wenger, i personally have always rated him very highly and if i remember correctly, Wenger was interested in him a while back. Igor Akinfeev would be a risky target in Wengers eyes but i think we should snap him up, Fabianski will start to shine soon.

Wenger is desperate to sign Celtic youngster James Forest, a deal could be likely in January with Forest coming to Arsenal next summer. If Wenger can see talent like i do then im 100% certain he is watching Forest closesly.

As for the Aguero predictions, it just won't happen, Arsenal will not fork out the sort it would take to get Aguero. If Arsenal were to sign another attacking player, these are the possible Arsenal transfer targets in the future.

Giovinco
Nuri Sahin
Zarate
Sobis

Players likely to leave in the near future

Bendtner (unless he steps it up before january)
Almunia
Rosicky (only keep him if he stays fit)It is going to be a messy season this year, Arsenal are much more prepared than people think, don't forget, the pre season break is a massive development for the human body, this is when all players improve there game, because there muscles have some rest to rebuild stronger than before, therefore much physicaly stronger than before. Arsenal have developed on an up the passed 3 years and this season i am convinced we can murder the league with our current squad.

Theo Walcott for leagues top score.
