Arsenal are showing interest in roberto soldado who has been left out of the spanish team ahead of the euros
Believable12
Unbelievable25
Very good striker, I believe a little underrated in England, not too mUch mentioned about him. Has a great goal scoring record. 4 apps 3 goal for Spain. Get age 29 goals In 60 apps at Valencia 35 in 66 now that's not bad... It's not messi but it's a damn site better than chamack, park and bendtner!! If Rvp stays with podolski and soldado that will be half decent and if we get rid of the rest mentioned we can cut wage bill and recoup the fee. Not bad business?

The only thing I would say is his 3 goals for Spain were in one match.

We wont sign de jong and m'villa

Deadwood is a generic term. It means different things to different people it is subjective.I may think that xxx is deadwood while someone else feels he is not and vice versa.

To be fair, he never said Yann M'Villa, he was referring to Yanga Mbiwa.

Oh right. Juzt the six players. Seven including Podolski.

Deadwood has to be sold to bring in funds for transfers and wages, and open up squad space. I think it's agiven that even Wenger wants some players sold, but it doesn't guarantee we'll find buyers for them.

Hi guys,
Someone in the know is claiming that Arsenal have put a bid in for Gotze £18m plus Bendtner.
I cannot see them accepting this offer could maybe go up to £24 plus Bendtner but to be honest I have always felt we would go back in for him even with having only just signed a new contract and we all know that these contracts mean nothing these days and BVB have been interested in Bendtner for a while so you never know?
I also feel that M'Vila is a done deal and we seem to have put a bid in for Giroud as well cash plus Chamakh which is good as we are getting rid of the dead wood at the same time replacing with quality.
Well fingers crossedX

Some guy called @paul on just arsenal said about Gotze and he seems to have a lot of people who follow him?
I just hope it is true because we could really be left behind next season with all the players Manu, man city & Chelsea will be buying and have bought we need to keep up with the jones's if you know what I mean!

Try 28 million + Bendtner. If Hazard of costing 32 million then Goetze is at the wry least worth the same amount.

I think Hazard is a better all around player than Goetze. But 18 million pounds is not nearly enough to get him.
Agree0

This was on bild the german newspaper supposedly. Can't really see this happening, although if it did would really prove les professeurs intent to build the team into a successful side. Also with the signing of podolski would surely go along way to keeping RVP. Fingers crossed its true.
GoonerSG
Agree0

Apparently we put in a late bid last season of £35m for Goetze so I think the interest is definitely there. Whether or not we really push for this one is speculation. Would love to see it happen though!
Agree0

He signed an extention to hes contract a few months ago.....talking rubbish
Agree0

It's not like he'd be the first player to go to another team after signing a new contract.
Agree0
Disagree0
I heard it was £24m cash or £30m + Bendtner!
Agree0
Disagree0
I REALLY hope this happens. One good things is that no one else seems to be after him. IMAGINE him and the ox swapping between the wing and CAM and jack just behind. Would wipe the floor with Europe in a couple of years.
Agree0
Disagree0
Getting the dreams in early I see...
Can you really expect Wenger and the Board to break our record transfer fee not only once but TWICE this summer?
£17m for M'Vila?
£18-24m Plus Bendtner for Gotze?
£5-10m? & somehow convincing Montpellier to take Chamakh off us.
Didn't everyone on here last summer think Mata/Hazard/Honda were all a whisker away from signing?
I hope you are right and this is all going to happen but i just posted about doing a dance if Squillaci leaves ffs! If this is true ill load a video onto youtube of me eating my hat. I think we as Gooners should really lower our expectations a bit because otherwise this is going to be another very long summer. Wenger might bring in one or 2 "Marquee" type signings but only if big players like RVP/Song/Theo leave. Even then its a longshot.
p.s "Someone in the know" did make me chuckle.

Goetze is better than Hazard but I can't see us signing him. I really hope we do, though. It would show everyone else that we mean business again.
Agree0

^^^ To the comment 'do you really think BVB will let kagawa and gotze leave in the same window?' Did you think that we would sell Na$ri and Fabregas in the same window? Anythings possible although I find it hard to believe we will get all these big names.
Agree0
Disagree0
Couldnt see it in the paper, was on twitter about Goetze, been out for 6 months with Dortmund, think this is just another made up one on twitter
Agree0

Hazard is a more rounded player like ronaldo is to messi...in terms of free kicks and penalties and heading ability...
but in terms of impact on a game, i have seen hazard play and yes he is awesome...but gotze? F.Me....hes going to be a legend in the right situation.
his stats already line up, who to me is possibly the greatest player of all time...
We know him only as the playstation.

He won't go. his wife and kids are settled in london he's just holding out for a good deal and waiting to see who we bring in. we can't blame him for that. as for the yanks in charge i think usmanov should make them a offer they can't refuse because if he takes over david dean will be back and we'd start winning trophies again

This is by no means a "done deal", it's just a rumour. But there's rumblings that since the montpellier president is only willing to seel giroud (due to buy out clause) and M'Biwa (due to gentleman's agreemant over joining a big club), we're going to offer 10 million, chamakh, and a yet to be determined youngster on loan, for giroud and first deferral on belhanda

Hopefully what you just said is true

Would be nice but cant see them selling both as would be very hard to replace but who knows only time will tell.
Gavsta

As much as I would love this to be true - I am reasonably confident we wont be able to do this.
I mean - in an ideal world chamakh and djourou to head to montpellier and then Mbwia and Giroud head the other way...
But Giroud in SURELY means RVP out...
No thanks.
Billybob
Agree0

To the last post... not necessarily, the current team showed themselves to be up to beating any one. I think Wenger will be looking to beef it up so that it can compete on all fronts more comfortably, with out being so vulnerable to injuries. Also just think, how good would VP be playing bergkamp's role with Poldi or Giroud up front - better than cesc ever was I dare say...
Agree0
Disagree0
I reckon thats not a bad idea....if rvp was moved back into the old no 10 position and an out an out power cf signed it would be good for him. some players just enjoy scoring goals but some prefer creating them....rvp is more than capable of both. anyone can play up front with him. he just needs the burden taken off him, otherwise he could burn out after the euros. ie if he burns out we have the problem of him potentially breaking down again. Giroud would not be his replacement but be more advanced upfield i reckon.
Agree0

RvP is going.
Giroud would be replacement.
No truth in M'Vila signing.

Ed - I have heard a rumour about the potential move of Craig Gordon to Arsenal - I know that there was reported interested a few years ago, do you know if there is truth to it this summer? {Ed022's Note - Not that I know of mate, although it is a possibility I suppose? The only problem is his injury record.}

Djourou admits he will probably leave Arsenal this summer.
Perhaps a new defender is on the Cards. Mbwia not called to Euros, so we could snap him up. Can play anywhere across the back four, young, powerful!

Just come back from france near rennes ( live in jersey)
M'VILLA has not signed for arsenal, friends down there say arsenal where looking at him but off field antics may have cost him move.
HE has not signed AND HAS NOT LEFT FRENCH TRAING CAMP
JERSEY GUNNER
Believable21
Unbelievable14
The story of him leaving the training camp is true, it was reported by Matt Spiro who is with the French team as an official UEFA reporter.
M'Vila picked up a knock in training and was evidently allowed to leave for a while in order to rest. It had nothing to do with his club future.
Overly optimistic fans got the wrong end of the stick and deduced that he must be on his way to sign for Arsenal. They were wrong.

Ok. guys very quick post now from what I learnt last night. Firstly, I am not 100 per cent sure on my sources so not sure just how valid all of this is, but nevertheless I am going to tell you.
Yann M'villa is reportedly a done deal. All that is left is the announcement. This has been said by two or threee people who I would consider as reliable. However, others say that the deal is not completely done yet. Regardless of what is or is not true I am confident that M'villa will be an Arsenal player next year.
Arsenal have made contact with Montpellier but not actually made a formal bid yet. All that we have done is express and interest in the player. Nothing else. Apart from that all I know is that he is friends with Koscielny after their time together at Tours. Do not expect any deal for him to be done until after the Euros, if a deal is to be done.
Now, I do not believe that Arsenal will be signing Llorente and I think it is untrue. However, there was contact between Arsenal and Athletic Bilbao. It is unlikely that it was about Llorente and it is more likely to be about Pre-season or Sponsors. So, I highly doubt Llorente will be coming in but I hope to be able to confirm why contact was made in the coming days.

The Montpelliard player is Giroud. He and Kos played together at Tours.
Hope you're right pal. {Ed022's Note - Montpelliard? I think you mean Montpellier mate.}
Agree0

Although this sounds great highly doubtful we will sign mvila due to the money demands. That being said we have the money we have the players to clear out for extra funds but wenger doesn't like spending money. Going for poorer versions of the main targets I.e nzonzi instead of mvila shows lack of ambition. I will eat my words would love to see a new LB,rb both to cover the constant injured full backs. De Jong wouldn't be to bad to bring a fighting spirit but we have song possibly the best holding midfeilder in the league. Mvila,llorente even grouid would be ideal signings. Maybe the fact of no trophy for so long could prompt Arsene to invest more money into better caliber of players. Fingers crossed.

Don't know who these people are but according to the Metro, Rennes will not do business with anyone until after the euro's. Best case scenario, we sign him for £15m if he has a poor EC 2012
Agree0

Certainly hope it's Muniain from Bilbao
Agree0

Giroud rep is in check, he can't do anymore than what he did at his club so to wait til after the euros is insane, his price can only go up.
Agree0

Do you know a possibke timeframe for the announcement? Are your sources on tw*tter or through other means? Thanks, I really hope m'villa is done before euros contrary to newspaper reports today.
Agree0
Disagree0
Why do people spread so much BS. You think it is pretty much a done deal in the first sentence. However then you say Arsenal have NOT even made an offer.
In reality there may be one or two people on here that have legit info the rest just use hearsay and newspaper gossip and then just add "my source" says this or that when the truth is YOU have NO source.
It may be a done deal but my source tells me that Montpellier hope he has a great Euro 2012 so his price goes up and other parties become interested. :-)
Agree0
Disagree0
In the first part of your post its nearly a done deal, then suddenly we haven't even made a bid - which to me means no deal at all, so which is it? I suspect the no bid made part may be the only thing thats accurate
Agree0
Disagree0
Some people seem very confused. You do realise that M'Vila plays for Rennes not Montpellier ye? A
Agree0

He's talking about 2 different targets but forgets to name the 2nd as Giroud. M'Vila plays for Stade Rennes. Giroud plays for Montpellier.

^mate read the post properly. He mentioned done deal is for M'vila. No bid is for Montpeiller's Giroud.
Agree0

Rennes confirmed that they are not selling M'Villa until after euro 2012, I presume because they think he'll do well, get more interest and drive up the price?

He is quoting that contact stuff with bilbao from lulblin. That guys speaks utter rubbish. Pay him a visit on twitter and observe how his info varies with the varying trends of twitter.. Anyways there is a certain issue with mvila transfer re the fees and the talks are still going on. Nigel de jong link ups are completely made up.. And I am not sure but the contact with bilbao was made ages before, nothing recent, and it was for susaeta...
