Arsenal Rumours Archive August 27 2011

The signing of Park Chu Young is obviously a good thing.. He is a good striker seeing as he'll replace Bendtner or if Bendtner doesn't leave then he'll fill in for Gervinho and Chamakh when they go to African Cups of Nations..
We will sign a defender and a midfielder.
People saying that the signing of Park Chu Young will not affect the signing of Hazard as it's the price that they care about not the club that he is going to, + we both bidded and it was the player's decision to come to us.
I hope to see Cahill and M'vila joining Arsenal but I doubt M'vila will join, so lets hope for a tall CDM or an effective playmaker.. I expect a signing of at least 15m though.. COYR

what are the chances of Hazard joining Arsenal? They seem slim now and always have to me.

I would say no chance because he has said there is no chance he will leave Lille this season.

Connor

Erm...if it's always been slim to you, then why ask the question ? You already don't believe it was going to happen, so you haven't believed what has been speculated. So if 10 people say yeah it will happen, will you believe it anyway? How much reassurance do you need or is possible to give- by its very nature rumours are ambivalent...

Stand by your own conviction or have some hope and be a little optimistic, difficult to be both at the same time.

I'm asking the question because I'm not digging around the internet for every single blog or site to break a weak story with a mad obsession comparable to Gollum.

I understand that rumours are ambivalent. Was just asking the question because it seemed pertinent given the fact that we just supposedly gazzumped Lille for a signing.

I have plenty of faith in Wenger that he will make some sort of signing, but given the fact that we conduct transfer dealings in the dark and are rarely upfront about signings, read Mata Chelsea gazzump; I have no idea who it will be. Speculation is always speculation, and people on here seem to have decent European connects, I'd rather ask people in the know than say Fox Sports World fans in the US, hilarious and pedantic.

I'm very optimistic for this squad and season. Because the youngsters are untested, they have less pressure and the ability to band together as a team more so than every before at Arsenal. We have a Captain for the first time since Henry who A) loves being at Arsenal, and no dancing dreams of a return to home and B) players actually talk to RVP, ahem Gallas. Heart is one of the biggest and most important components of a team and by now it seems that this team do have a heart, albeit young.

Plus this sqaud looks more capable of beating teams we always should have beaten in the past few years: Stoke, Sunderland, Birmingham, Newcastle, etc. etc.

I'm already excited for tomorrow because only the games can decide true quality and the true winner.

PMc

Oh god did the last post mean any of what he said? One winner against Man Utd with half the team sold, suspended or injured? Yep there will be only one winner Man Utd 4-0. This will the worst side we have put out against them for 30 years plus.
At full strength Man Utd are comfortably better than us but with the Arsenal debacle continuing they will be in a different class. The side we put out today has all the strenght of Blackpool last year.

27 Aug 2011 21:25:47
More worrying is the closer we get to the end of the transfer window is the fact that the likes of Bendtner and Co still remain at the club. Am sure either Cahill, Dann or Jagielka will sign before deadline and an experienced central midfielder. Never heard of or seen this Korean lad play but over the last ten years the standard of Korean players has improved immensely so as a back to RVP, Walcott and Gervinho and Chamakh am open to giving the lad a chance.

AH Ed i've just realized if wenger is only going to buy 3 more players, a striker, a defender and а midfielder, if that midfielder is M'vila as many have speculated, that means we only have Wilshere, ramsey and rosicky as the creative contingency in our midfield. Have I got a reason to be worried or has Wenger got something up his sleeve?? maybe Ryo in Central Attacking Mid, if that's even good enough to replace Cesc?? {Ed002's Note - Don't worry. Everything will be just fine.}

I believe arshavin could do well in attacking midfield kind of position, i dont believe he is a winger and i think we could get more out of him this way.

Ed002 Like your attitude, we are the Arsenal.

A GOONER

I have supported Arsenal my whole life, but everything will not be just fine, and saying it doesn't help. I believe Arsene has been the greatest manager in our history and deserves some trust still, but not without limit.
If Arsene signs 3 players, and I still doubt it, the fact that yet another is a lightweight forward is a bad start. Korean football is good and indeed Park Chu-Young may be good, but he is so not what we need as a priority.
We need so urgently that central defender that I fear isn't coming, at least one other defender, and two quality midfielders (not a holding one as Song and Frimpong are good) - but there is no one out there of the right quality and the right Arsene price - Hazard will not be coming and he is the only game in town.

27 Aug 2011 20:42:41
Has anyone actually thought that we are going for Young because Lille won't sell Hazard? Hazard is another one that only want to go to Barca or Real so he wouldn't hang around long. We have to sign players who are willing to give their all for the shirt and not use us a stepping stone. We have to stop being a feeder club or we will never dine at the top table.

If he is wanting to do that he will be playing his best every week. will help arsenal and will also get a big fee to sign another couple of player just as good when he goes

27 Aug 2011 20:28:03
just a thought.........

Cahill and Bolton shipping goals

Jagielka and Everton still tight at the back

I know who i'd want at the Emirates


TA London

Can that not be down to your team mates and not actual ability of each player??

I am not saying for one minute that Cahill is crap, but I do not rate him anywhere near as highly as most others seem to. I don't know my defenders that well though so I don't have any suggestions. But Bolton are giving away bad goals and it will be unusual if they finish higher than Everton, so that for me sums it up. IMO Distin would be a great addition.
Raz

Jag gave away a penalty btw

27 Aug 2011 20:07:30
Just a thought...you don't think we will buy Park as a bargaining tool for a Park plus cash bid for Hazard...(just thinking back to Clive Allen & Kenny Sansom) {Ed002's Note - No I don't.}

27 Aug 2011 18:54:46
If we steal park chu young who was meant to sign for lille. Then surely they won't sell us hazard... Just sayin. But I am still hopeful we can get him.

Has already been said, many times

I know you tube is not best way to judge player he looks very ordinary. I hope he isnt the striker wenger is going to sign to cover van persie. Please no.

27 Aug 2011 15:32:31
ed regarding this park deal i know people seem to think it will hurt in our bid to land hazard(not sure it'll happen this summer anyway) but can i put another slant on it and that would be we'll pull out of the deal to help us in negotiations over hazard what you say ed {Ed002's Note - So why enter negotiatons just to pull out?}

27 Aug 2011 18:24:06
Starting to get very worried I don't see us making any of the world class signings we hav all been hopping for we hav 70-80 mil to spend so we by an un know striker what is going on ? If we beat the mancs tomo witch we won't we will be 10th I'm seriously worried r season is already over At the beginning of the summer window I had so much hope for this season but am beginning to lose faith come on Arsene spend some money ...

Ur beginning to think our season is over? After 2 games? Ur a clueless fool Why so pecimistic? IN ARSENE WE TRUST

Yeah after two games After 3 games we could be 8 points behind united and 8 points behind city if u think we r guna hav a good season with no singings then ur deluded

How'd do you call yourself an arsenal fan when you're writing us off after 2 games Where's your faith? Wenger is a top manager / businessman - he knows what he's doing Have a little faith It's at times like this we should be backing him, not questioning his every move. FFS people get a grip

Revolutionary Gunners time

I hope I'm wrong I really do guys and I will always get behind my team don't think mr wenger spends his evenings reading football transfer rumours ( hopefully he is on the phone to Lille ) time will tell 4 days

Some people think optimism proves you are a true fan - well it's just not true. Of course you want your side to do well, and of course you try to encourage them, but optimism is your enemy if it's always against realism.
Realistically Man Utd are stronger than last season realistically City and Liverpool are stronger, Chelsea are stronger,even Spurs are stronger. Arsenal? Well much much weaker, not just the loss of two great players but the continued psychological blows. Seriously Jenkinson, Park, Chamberlain for Fabregas and Nasri? Oh god what a mess.
The season isn't lost because of the two games it's lost because it has continued on from the end of last season when we moved from Championship form to mid table mediocrity form - be clear a lot of clubs that finished lower than us have had better form over the last 12-15 games.
I so hope we beat United today and make me eat my words but I'll be hiding behind the sofa as i think they may well blitz us badly.

27 Aug 2011 18:08:44
if its true about this che young fella then i find it disgusting they way weve signed him...we cannot start whinging about other clubs taking our players off us...we are losing our class
jay

We have already lost it the words 'feeder club' come to mind.

Well, I'd hardly ever call a Prem team who made 14 consecutive CL's, a feeder team, but I can see why.

Lille must feel awful because Ligue 1 is indeed a feeder league. Look at the tremendous amounts of talent that have started in Ligue 1 for the first taste of European first team football. Ribery, Henry, Ronaldinho come to mind quickly.

I have no opinions on the Park Chu Young transfer yet because it isn't substantiated well by multiple sources. This could be a ploy by Arsenal to show their weight, but it could also be another questionable signing.

In Arsene we trust

Except Park Chu-Young plays for Monaco, who are in Ligue 2?

27 Aug 2011 17:55:42
Kaka to be unveiled on tuesday, with Cahill on wednesday. Bendtner to sign for geordies

27 Aug 2011 17:50:00
Arsenal to win 3.2 tomorrow, you watch. then m'vila to sign on tuesday and Cahill on wednesday.

Have you fixed the match then?

You are kidding right??
We are going to be butcher today and to add salt to the wounds manu will keep a clean sheet.

27 Aug 2011 17:43:37
I have it on good authority that Arsenal are speaking to bolton, and Cahill will be signed on deadline day for 13m. He will not sign contract at bolton and they won't let him leave for nothing. Yann M'vila will sign on tuesday.

All this posturing by bolton and phil gartside lover cahill yes he could be the difference of keeping them on the premierleague gravy train but they are a bit better than this. a club 80m in debt with no way out - sell you biggest asset so naive

1) "I have it on good authority" IS MEANINGLESS. 2) If we all knew he price he'd go for then why has he not gone today? Because if YOU know it;s 13m, then the clubs must know, so the deal's done, which it isn't. 3) The whole world knows Arsenal are in talks with Bolton.

27 Aug 2011 16:45:49
INS:
Park choo young/Monaco/Ligue 2/5million
Eden Hazard/Lille/Ligue 1/35mill
Yann Mvilla/Rennes/Ligue 1/20mill
Gregory Van Der Weil/Ajax/Eredivisie/12mill
Gary Cahill/Bolton/Premiership/12mill

All of them except van der wiel i agree with.

Stop reading rumours and then putting them down like you know its gonna happen....Arsenal are not in the market for a right back.

If we sign park i dont think Lille will want to do business with us as we will have stolen him from there grasp in there eyes- they already seem pretty pissed.
BD

No way Lille are going to sell us Hazard - if it were a possibility we wouldn't have nicked Park 'He'll shoot, he'll score, he'll eat your Labrador' Chu-Young off 'em today.

They will buy park chu young not hazard one or other vdw nope m'vila maybe unlikely

No way will sign van der wiel with sagna and jenkinson this post is a joke go back to tottenham high road u joker

Utter rubbish - Park is the only one you've got right. The resy are just recycled rubbish.

27 Aug 2011 16:06:53
I must say this signing of the Korean striker seams very good business, and for only 2,5m bargain. He can't be any worse than chamkh or bendtner. I still believe Cahill will sign on deadline day, and if there is a problem then it will be Scott Dann. But i think it will be Cahill. The midfielder will be yann m'vila from rennes. We will have a very good squad then.

Guardian say the price is 10m

But with only one LB Traoe is not a good LB he is a winger and I feel Wenger feels the same.
We need all those players that you have suggested but we need a good LB not just one Injury prone LB.

Monocao know they cant demand a high price as he has to go and do national service when hes 28 as all koreans have to do 2 years before they are 30

27 Aug 2011 15:10:33
Arsenal to face shrewsbury in the carling cup at home .

Perfect opportunity as usal for the young uns to show their worth. Expect starts for Ryo, Jenkinson, Campbell, Frimpong, Fabianski, Djourou, Miquel and the like

Dont think Campbell will be involved heard he's gone straight out on to Puntarenas

Im keen to see Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, he better live up to his 12mil price tag

27 Aug 2011 14:55:26
Buying:
Kaka
Snijeder
m'villa
hazard(unlikely now)
or anyone else the money would be refunded by shirt sales quicker than by the time the other club cash the cheque

so buy someone and we'll be refunded almost immediatly

Midland Gooner

Yeah - let's sign Kaka and hope to sell �20-25M worth of shirts that'd cancel-out the zero sell-on fee we would get for him in 2-3 years time. Fail.

27 Aug 2011 14:51:52
Steve Kean at blackburn has said that Samba could be sold if the right offer comes in.

I knwo he isn't out first choice, I would much rather see Cahill, Metersacker, Vertonghen, albiol, Jagielka join ahead of Samba but it shows a deal is there to be done if anything else falls through.

Scratch that.
Couple of injuries at blackburn.

27 Aug 2011 14:45:16
At the very start of this window someone said Arsenal will look to bring in Park Chu-Young so we gain commercially from Korea.

Whoever that was I tip my hat off to you. Seems a bargain at 3m. Should mean Bendtner is gone too so that's a plus :)

He'd also be on less wages than Bendtner who would sell for around 6m+. That's a good bit of extra funds to put towards a marquee player via wage reduction transfer fee for Bendtner and shirt sales in Korea. A fair profit I think. Very astute business.

Whoever said this... well done.

StEvE

I also recall this so well done indeed mr X

27 Aug 2011 14:29:33
Wenger said he wants 3 more signings

Park Chu Young having medical at arsenal in next 24 hours according to Sky Sports News

Gary Cahill will come for £17 million or £10 million plus Bendtner

and either one of these

Eden Hazard
Mvila
or snieder u never know we have about £75million to spend

27 Aug 2011 14:10:29
If we sign park chu-young, we can forget about hazard as our relationship with lille will be ruined
Db7

It starting to look more and more like we were never going to sign Hazard in the first place. Well maybe at the beginning at the transfer window but not recently. how many times have we heard Lille say, Hazard will not be leaving?

27 Aug 2011 14:08:00
I think Park Chu-Young will be back up to Van Persie and will get the odd game here and there

27 Aug 2011 13:56:58
The rumour is that Lille were trying to sign Park Chu-young before we got involved,so wonder if that might jepodise the Hazard deal(if there ever was a deal for Hazard).

Good chance - although I think the Hazard deal was never going to happen anyway. He says he wants another year where he is. They say he's going nowhere. Initially they said only one of Gervinho/Hazard will be sold - and one of them was sold. We bitch about Barca and Cesc but we are guilty of the same crap with Hazard. Everyone and their auntie knows that he has agreed in principle that his next club will be AFC but we will wait because whatever the board say there is no money to spend until 2014 not even the bundles of cash that we have just taken in. The board are happy to be self-sustaining (4th place and CL qualification) Kroenke sees the club as a sound medium-term investment. Did any of you dudes know that tyhe people that built the Emirates also built stadia for Kroenke stateside? Did you also know that half-way through building they ran out of money - that's when Silent Stan first appeared.
The Emirates/Highbury was a big money spinning/property development. The board don't give a toss about football. Don't believe me? You will do in time. Peace out.

27 Aug 2011 13:46:23
We all wanted Higuain, Benzema and Milito etc but we end up with another relatively unknown signing from the french league for 3m Seriously why can't we just spend a little bit of cash and get some world class players in We have just sold 2 of our better players for 50 million so were hardly skint

I wonder what our captain Van Persie thinks of this signing

Btw I think we can all forget about Hazard, our soon to be new signing was on his way to Lille but we hi-jacked the deal

Anyone got any info on potential other signings?

Hazard has already signed...just unconfirmed

Why don't you give the lad a chance, he hasn't even kicked a ball for you's yet.
How much did Shevchenko cost Chelsea and he was a huge star.

What is it with you Arsenal fans and money?

always a red

27 Aug 2011 13:36:05
I have to tip my hat to Wenger. Not one person had a scooby doo about Park Chu-Young on here til today. That's what you call keeping transfers under wraps. Looks a typical Wenger signing to me. Cheap but quality.

Slick Mick

Check the liverpool rumour site, they have been screaming for Park Chu Yong to be signed all summer.

27 Aug 2011 13:25:15
Just to try and clear this whole RVP & Snijder are best m8s so he's gonna persuade him to come to the gunners......don't suppose it's any Coincidence that neither of them follow each other on twitter?? Surely as best m8s they would? No ok then just thought I'd put it out there, No chance AW is gonna £35mil for Sneijder wen he can get hazard for £25mil or even Kaka (which won't happen) for around the same amount

Big D

Not entirely sure how someone can click unbelievable about this statement, FACT is go and check both there twitter account followers, neither will appear on each other, and as regard to us buying Sniejder his wages are 250k a week (after tax) we will NOT pay that and as if he is gonna take a 100k pay-cut to move to us, do me a favour

27 Aug 2011 13:06:47
BBC saying Park Chu-Young is on his way to Arsenal for a medical. 25 goals in 91 games for Monaco, but he is their captain, so it seems he's a leader at least.

WTF ?
Well, I think this means we wont be getting Hazzard, cant take their best two players AND gazzump them, at least we're getting the 'established star' the team ( of kids ) is crying out for

Really don't rate him. Willing to be proved wrong though. Even so can't help but be disappointed.

Sign him up Looks awesome on YouTube Looks like he'd fit in pretty quick too. He's a tyPical Wenger player

What also is good about this deal is the commercial side.. look at how park is adored in his country, I think this is a very smart deal

27 Aug 2011 12:33:33
My sources tell me Arsenal will Sign Cahill, Baines and Hazard on monday with the surprize singing of Darren Bent on deadline day

I can not give you anymore info on this as my sources are running out (the wife uses too much on her chips)

On a serious note dose anyone els think Bent would be a good signing or is it just me that thinks he would score goals for fun for us.
I know the chances of us getting him or even going for him are virtually nill but can not help wonder with him is record is so good in the PL

Rainham Gunner

Agreed - he's a great finisher (most of the time) but with him recently joining Villa for �20M on a 4 year contract was it? I can't see it. Would happily welcome an English striker though - I'd like agbonlahor from villa or even Doyle (Irish?) they aren't that rated but in our squad I can see them offering something a bit different. I do hope we get Cahill / samba and someone like hazard (they guy looks immense) for midfield and a striker. Ruiz looks average at best though and I don't think he'll manage in the Prem. Hope Chamakh comes back to form this season - fast, good assists, good ariel ability. Stick him up with v.Persie behind

I would love bent he would be a great back up to van, the only problem is he would cost a fortune to buy

I also think Walcott upfront with RVP behind him could work good as walcotts finnishing is very good he could get in behind the defece without having to go past players (he seems to strugle getting past players and at crossing)

Rainham Gunner

Bent is an Arsenal fan

Who is your source?
Is he/she reliable?
Are you chattin S**t?
Would anyone else like true rumours?

I know i would

Midland Gooner

Ive been screaming this for ages bent at arsenal would be a 30 goal a season man

Midland Gooner did you read all of the post it says the source at the bottom chill out

Bent is exactly the sort of striker I think could really make the difference. He concentrates primairly on being a striker, which is exactly what we need- we have playmakers and passers, including rvp imo etc we need someone to stay in around the box to finish them- he could be that man for sure.

I rate him- he is playing right now for villa though...? hmm...not so sure. Unless it is going to be a last minute bid, but then your source must be very good.

I think if this is true and it all happens, signing cahill, baines, hazard and bent to the players we already have...will make us a force to be reckoned with.

Lets hope it happens- one thing for sure, we are only days away now, where all the spec will end and we will know for sure what our squad is going to look like.

Hmmm...on one hand you talk about a 'surprise' signing of bent on deadline day, then on the other you're saying the chances are virtually nil...which is it? Or do it just come to mind and thin air when watching the villa wolves game??

sorry I smell BS here...

Your source is full of rubbish

You smell BS
DId you read the post Ed can explane it too people please as some people dont seem to have a sence of humer

Thanks Rainham Gunner

27 Aug 2011 12:08:08
Anyone see Fabregas goal for Barca in the super cup ?

him and Messi look amazing together. Found myself looking at that goal over and over.

Got to say, Fabregas is a proper superstar and Nasri is not even nearly in that class.

Good luck to Fab, he went for the right reasons not like that greed little brat at City

{Ed022's Note - Agreed. Fabregas spent 8 years at Arsenal since he was 16. We didn't win much/anything (FA Cup 2005 aside) whilst he played for us and he wanted to go home. Although Barca messed us about, we can't hold Fabregas to blame. Fair play to him, hes now playing for the best team on the planet in his home town. Good luck to him.}

Goal was awesome - he'd only been on the pitch for 8mins aswell. Not seen a player that enthusiastic at a club for a long time Hope he secures himself that first team spot he deserves. This could be a revolutionary time for arsenal though. With no fab and nasri it's a good time for Wenger to mix it up and try new things / players / ways of playing.

When Chamakh is back on form I'd live to see Van Persie supportin him with Walcott and gervinho either side. Could be the new shake up the team needs. Some ariel threat and a different approach

In Wenger we trust

He wouldn't think of barca so much if we would strengthen our squad every year. If i was AW I wouldn't give him armband for a minute.

Yeah it was a great goal. Anyone that doesn't rate Nasri is a Scoper - so I guess that means you ya muppet. If he is no good why does cesc rate him so much and why did MUFC , ACM RM & MCFC all put in bids? Sick he's gone but understand why.

Sorry but some arsenal fans are deluded..
Nasri gone just for money?You're joking ,sorry Nasri a good player ,he's just seen the best player of his club begging another team to come take him and Nasri is supposed to stay..Because of what? Loyalty?Trophies?..Nasri loves Marseille not Arsenal,stop the rubbish.
City have more chance to win trophies than ARsenal,you're like it or not..

27 Aug 2011 09:55:15
so incredible news; Gregory Van der wiel is on his way to london confirmed on his twitter.

Possible move to arsenal on the cards?

we will see

you heard it here first

{Ed022's Note - Don't be surprised if he signs at Chelsea. Why would we sign a RB? We have the best RB in the league in Sagna and Jenkinson who has stacks of potential. Sorry to wazz on your parade by GVDW will not be signing for Arsenal.}

Agree with ed, my first reaction to this was that he's chelsea bound. Sorry dude, just don't need a RB.

OR...ed can he play at LB or is he just pretty much a rb and that's it ? In saying that, stupid Q, arsenal would just buy a lb if they wanted doh

{Ed022's Note - To me he is predominantly a RB, playing him at LB would be silly to me as I feel that if Wenger wants a LB then go buy Baines...}

He has since tweeted again to say he is in london to 'chill and watch a few games and nothing more'

{Ed022's Note - He's hardly likely to say "Im at the Chelsea - Norwich game and then going to talk over a move with AVB." Is it a coincidence that Man Utd, Man City, Arsenal and Tottenham aren't playing today but the club who could do with a RB (Chelsea) are playing at home (in London...) Hmmmm. I wonder?}

Yes, hes coming to london to sign for chelsea any we dont need him hes a right back.

Why would Chelsea need him?

{Ed022's Note - Have you ever sing Jose Bosingwa???}

If he signs for arsenal, jenkinson could switch to CB. defensive problems "solved". seems logical to me, as we may do not sign cahill...

{Ed022's Note - You say Van Der Wiel signs and Jenkinson moves to CB but what about Sagna? You dropping the best RB in the league?}

So what about Bosingwa then? GVDW is cover for him then?

{Ed022's Note - IMO Bosingwa is pants. Ivanovic is naturally a CB who plays at RB. If GVDW signed for Chelsea he'd surely be 1st choice RB.}

BUT GVDW has played numerous time for both club and country at lB he is more than capable than playing at LB RB or a Winger

@ ED: Sagna could stay at LB because Gibbs is way too often injured (even though LB is not Sagnas ideal position at all...) it was just an idea...

Haha bosingwa just scored,how stupid do uz look nw

Best right back in the league? What a load of s**te He's only just squeeze in the top 5 IMO. I'd rather have Bosingwa, Walker, R.Taylor, Kelly or even Rafael Sagna's a useless, spaghetti haired man

27 Aug 2011 09:15:57
Danilo Pereira IN. I have no internal "in the know" but this is the latest rumour and he would fit the profile of a more typical Arsene signing. Young, relatively unknown, bags o' potential, this would appear more likely than someone like M'Villa.

I'm guessing (hoping in one case) that the "in's" - assuming there are any - will br Pereira, Albiol (spelling?) Baines (hope), Hazard (hope).

Outs: Bendtner, Rosicky (after Tuesday, this would be disappointing - we do need him), Arsharvin, Almunia (on loan).

Max Farnham

At this moment, rosicky is the only player who can unlock something for us

We Don't Need Another Defender Like Abiol We Need Someone Who Will Be A Good Defender But Ultimately A Presence At The Back

Loan almunia we should just get rid of him.

Rosicky is a no go....

27 Aug 2011 08:04:44
Arsenal are still in the hunt for a few quality players:
Eljero Elia
Kaka
Eden Hazard
Gary Cahill
Yann M'Villa

In a few articles I've read online it has stated that Arsene will sign or at least bid for all these players, hope its true, furthermore its also true that Arsene would like to sign another striker.
Out of 6 possible signings, i think we should get at least 4?

Home and Away goner Billy B

27 Aug 2011 05:34:06
Fox Sports in Central America, are saying we are to sign ST Bryan Ruiz from FC Twente for around 10 mill.
Apparently french media confirm, that a fee for Eden Hazard has already been agreed for 30mill, breaking the record transfer fee for any player by AFC.
Also DF Raul Albiol from Real Madrid for around 12 mill, in case things fall apart from the primary target, Gary Cahill.
Finally a bid was made for U20 portuguese DM Danilo Pereira from Parma who would come in for about 2mill.
Lets hope all this gets sorted out, and we'll be set for this season.

Peruvian Gooner

Got a link for the bryan ruiz story?

27 Aug 2011 02:41:05
The Guardian's David Hytner, says Arsene is confident of signing M'vila, the link is underneath

www.guardian.co.uk/football/blog/2011/aug/26/football-live-blog-26-august#block-22

26 Aug 2011 23:50:13
I think the striker Wenger is talking about is Bryan Ruiz from FC Twente

I think its between Ruiz, Sow and Demba Cisse

Why him, he ain't even as good as bendybollox and he's cup tied in the champs league.

Diego Milito is the answer....

Wat bout kenywn jones he's better than chamakh and bendtner

No way inter are selling Milito after losing Eto'o. Looks like theyre loaning out Pandev as well. Forlan alone isn't making up for 3 players.

Those players who didnt make it to the group stages can play for Arsenal and not be cup tied - Bryan Ruiz's FC Twente didnt make it into the group stages so can join Arsenal

{Ed022's Note - Or Tottenham who are sniffing around like a dog looking for a bone...}

Ruiz is class,but is going spurs

I can see us signing 4 players. Not to sure who but I reckon 4 will come in.

My wish list is:

Gary Cahill - 12million +
Yann M'Vila - 18million
Eden Hazard - 25million
Gonzalo Higuain - 20million (Unrealistic I Know....)

The first three would be good.

I think we can survive with m'vila, cos we got song and pong (frimpong) but definitely need a defender, an attacking midfielder (playmaker) and a striker

NO chance at all - Arsene will not - ever ever spend �20m let alone �75m. You could give him �500m and he would not change. M'Vila if he is less than �14m is likely, Pereira who hasn't even started a primera game is likely, and hmm that's about it unless Bendnter goes.

Tip-top fourfold. Love to see these for 75m. Flog Bendtner and we've paid for the lot.
Don't you think we need a left back though?

Yes, I do think we need a LB but it won't happen. Although I am in favor of a least giving Gibbs a chance until January the reassessing the situation.
