Edd clichy has been linked with a lot of clubs do you think theres any chance of him staying? alos heard arsenal want affelay in the cesc fabregas deal but he has only recently joined barca and what do you think of the ajax keeper personally id keep woijeck szesney hes only made one mistkae and if wenger didn't get a keeper when almunia and fabianski in goal i don't see him getin a new keeper. {Ed002's Note - There seems to be nothing but rumour of him leaving - certainly nothing firm.}

@ james

That's one of the more sensible 'transfer speculation' posts I've seen on here lately (certainly a tad more realistic than "Cesc to Man Utd" or "Gerrard to Arsenal"!). Obviously we don't really know how much will be available to spend this summer, but I'm sure we're all hoping it's more than in previous years.

I agree with much of what you say, but not everything. Firstly, if all the teams you mention truly are out of the "LB race", where would Clichy go? He'd probably have no choice but to sign a new deal as none of the top clubs would be after a LB, in which case that would make life easy for us.

I'm not sure that is the case though. I agree that Chelsea and United do not need an LB, but Madrid, Barca and Inter strike me as three top clubs that might still be interested in Clichy. If he does leave then I disagree with Ed005 that Gibbs can fill in. He has a lot of promise but he's still pretty wet behind the ears and is horribly injury-prone. With no quality LB in reserve, it would be very risky to have Gibbs as first choice at this time. We'd end up playing half our games with God knows who at LB and it'd be Squillaci all over again.

The other thing I'm not sure about is your ins and outs. I agree those are all players that *could* leave, but I think £15m for Bendtner and £8m for Denilson is very optimistic. On the flip side though, I think £35-40m for Cesc is pretty pessimistic, considering how much Torres went for recently (and Kaka and Ronaldo before him). Cesc has over three years left on his contract so we're still under no pressure to sell this year.

{Ed005's Note - I think you have a ready made replacement in Gibbs. I also think Gibbs is better than Clichy. I honestly can't see Wenger spending the money it would require to get the other two players you mentioned.}

I don't think gibbs can last a season. he is always injured. dunno what he has for breakfast but hes real chick-lite.

Wenger has been linked to fabio coentrao with clichy on his way out. I love that player, 10 times better than gibbs and 5 times better than clichy.

I only hope the rumour has some truth to it.

Seems to be media confirmation of a rumour I heard 2 days ago from a good source that Arsenal are going to throw a bag of money at Manuel Neuer, and bring him to the Emirates this summer. Subotic rumours are getting louder at this point as well. . .me thinks the sale of Fabregas may fund both of these big signings?

Edd with clichy likely to leave who do you see as his replacement aly cissokho, sakho who is a left footed cb or fabio contreao or what about Gibbs starting {Ed005's Note - I think you have a ready made replacement in Gibbs. I also think Gibbs is better than Clichy. I honestly can't see Wenger spending the money it would require to get the other two players you mentioned.}
