Gazidis is not on holiday he is in france tying up deals for capoue and Lloris, the Lloris deal is dependant on Bentdner going other way to Lyon as part of deal. Also Wenger will try to keep Rvp to last year of contract unless transfer request is handed in which case he will go to Juventus.
Rvp has a 2million too loose if he hands in transfer request which is why he announced that he would not sign contract on his own website in an attempt to engineer a move.
Arsenal have known since christmas Rvp would not sign hence the fast transfer activity Poldolski and Giroud, and reason no squad no has been assigned to them.
This info is from a friend who works for Legal firm slaughter and May who draw up draft contracts for Arsenal!!

Slaughter n may are highly reputable law firm so its believeable but i cant believe your legal "mate" would leak such info knowing that he could be in serious breach and ultimatly getting slaughtered by may jus like the guy above stated.

Why would he lose 2 million if he handed in a transfer request?
Surely he would make money via an increased contract with another club plus a signing on bonus?

Sources at the club say a move for German defender Mats Hummels is close. Funded by the sale of Van Persie.

Why Would We Buy Another Cb When We Are Sorted {Ed027's Note - how are we sorted, our defence was the biggest problem last year, injuries isnt a excuse, we always get them, we have to get use to it
Agree0
Disagree0
I Don't Think They Practice Enough Together Plus A Certain Song Refussing To Sit Back When Needed
Agree0
Disagree0
Ed027 agree our defence needs sorted but disagree it will happen with more central defenders. We have 3 class acts for central defender and really who that is here would make way for Hummels to be first choice (which he would be)? We need a defensive midfielder that plays defense. Which excludes Alex Song. {Ed027's Note - as you know i only think we have to class Cb's, although im willing to give merts a chance, as hes only had one year, same goes with Gervinho
Agree0
Disagree0
I wouldn't say we're sorted but I can't see how we can have Hummels, Mertesacker, Kos and Vermaelan all expecting to be first team players. He'd be a great addition but I think a defensive midfielder who actually defends more than attacks should be the focus of solving our defensive problems.
Agree0

Hummels commenting on Juve interest, and Dortmund future...def not coming to Arsenal.
"Juventus? I don't intend to move away from Dortmund," he said.
"I only recently extended my contract with Borussia until 2017 and what is being said about me are just rumours."
Agree0

He just signed a 5 year contract at Dortmund keeping him at the club until 2017.
Actually research your rumour before posting it!

I am a bit dubious about posting this as a rumour, but this person told me before the deadline day that we would sign santos last summer, it shocked me but came true.
but he has claimed wenger will be trying to operate a deal with real madrid with Van Persie going there, and Ozil to come to us. he said this is subject to a modric-madrid move.
but we will have to watch out for this!
Believable24
Unbelievable16
If this is even possible it is likely ozil would come to us due to us having podolski and mertesacker

Scooby Gooner

Would be a great deal but not happening.
Agree0

An honest post.....but why do they need another forward when they have so much quality already.................not sure the need for modric....
Agree0
Disagree0
Van Persie to Madrid is possible. I won't be unhappy with him too much if he go to Madrid
Madrid like to sign one world class player a season. Van Persie is considered by many as third best players behind Messi and Ronaldo. They can sell Higauin who is unhappy to Paris SG.
I would be very happy if they allow either Ozil/Kaka to leave for us, if they do sign Modric it would be a real possibility
Agree0
Disagree0
This would be fantastic for us. Let rvp go bring in ozil, m'vila and a centre back. (would love hummels but i doubt it) and we would be competing again
Agree0
Disagree0
We can't afford Ozil's wages. If we could Van Persie would be offered them.

I would doubt it because I think Wenger sees Szczesny (an international n.1) being the Arsenal n.1 for the next 10 years, but if Loris was brought in he would be n.1 limiting Szczesny's appearances who surely wouldn't be happy about that.

I have it on good authority that Denilson's loan has been extended as part of a deal that has been agreed for Casemiro for £10 million plus the loan deal he is an alternative to M'vila who won't sign. The deal will be bone in two weeks and arsenal have applied for a work permit.

Agree0

Ibrahimovic for Eto. Rather huge swap some years ago.
Agree0

No doubt Higuain's career has mainly involved playing inferior team to a larger extent than van Persies, however, according to Wikipedia Higuain has a better goal scoring record, is several years younger and I'm not sure but may or may not be injury prone like RvP so on what planet would is RvP worth so much more than Higuain (not that I think we will sign him).
Agree0
Disagree0
Diarra is a mercenary who over rates himself he would have eventualy made our first team with more patience, loyalty and dedication, higuains a decent player but fairly average and with all them word class players around him providing service it makes him look better than he his, #justsaying

I'd actually be happy if this turns out to be correct. Def sell him abroad even if it means we get less money. I'd be livid to see him score against us for another prem team. We'll see you in the champions league as fate would probably have it.

Just get rid for the highest offer
one thing i think will happen and that is he wont be sold until the 31 august as arsenal will push hard for the max amount of money
Agree0
Disagree0
Whilst it is dissapointing to see RVP go, can we really blame him? He almost single handedly got us into the CL next season and the club continually fail to invest in proven quality in the areas needed. Why are we trying to get Hugo Lloris when we already have a top keeper, when it is blatantly obvious that we need strengthening in other areas, particularly midfield wher we rely on Diaby, Rosicky, Arteta, Song and Wilshere who between them missed a large part of last season with injury. We continue to keep players of average ability such as Djourou and Walcott (yes he is average) and these 2 should be sold to bolster the coffers. It is interesting to see that Walcott now has itchy feet, knowing that the OX is likely to take his place this season. Let's all get behind Wenger as I am sure that he is not to blame for the loss of our star players over recent seasons, and he is hampered by a blinkered board who take for granted the fabulous support the fans give (at great cost) and are not prepared to invest sufficiently to enable us to challenge for the top prizes. Time will tell whether the fans continue to turn up home and away to see a team, who at best, will be competing for a place in the CL, which seems a little pointless when we don't have a team capable of winning it and the funds received from competing are just swallowed up by a greedy board.
Agree0

Haha. Keep dreaming van persie is not leaving the premier league. He is 29 and does not have time to adjust to another league. He will take a safer option and stay with a league he is proven in. It will be career suicide to move out of country, especially since he has choices.
You would do the same

Personally wouldnt mind getting Elia out of a swap deal. has had a pretty poor time at Juve (mainly beacuse hes barley played) but looked very good at Hamburg. Or of course Chiellini although he is quite similar to Vermaelen. All a bit of a pipe dream though, I wonder whether Wenger would let RVP go to Juve after his earlier comments, he is not one to swallow his pride...

That sounds like a good deal ulot are saying krasic and melo arsent good but i think krasic was brilliant before he went to juve and mite come back to him best if he comes to arsenal as for melo hes allways been a solid player buy gets too many red cards he could be our gilberto silver
Agree0
Disagree0
I miss the old Melo rumours:(
Agree0
Disagree0
Conte plays a narrow Juve team so no room for players like Krasic. Whilst I would prefer M'vila I could Imagine Wenger getting excited over the prospect of a bargain like Melo and Krasic in a deal seeing RvP going the other way, but more like +5 million not 20 million.

Hi eds, i have been told on good authority that walcot wont be signing a new contract. Many gooners may say good riddence, but again this will be one of our main assets going for nothing or hardly anything. if van persie was in a 3year deal we could be demanding £30-40mill and £20-£30 mill for walcott. What people are running out club? Even if the plan is to move players on and keep in profit it makes bo sense at all to lose these players for nothing. many may say im negitive but i speak what most gunners are thinking! do we honestly see song, vemaelen wilshire etc saying at a club that doesnt challenge? also i feel our free flowing football that has entertained many for years may start to be effected which will distance managers such as guadiola which have been mooted as future managers. im struggling to see the attraction now for star signings. People wud cone to play with the likes of walcott and van persie
Believable24
Unbelievable20
What a load of negative crap. you have no idea if walcotts going to stay or go, you also have no idea whether arsenal want him or not.
i would go down the more positive route of this is your time theo, replace rvp up front and lets buy another winger
as for rvp he had made his mind before the start of last season, just look at his comments about not going in the same direction as him, since last year we have rid ourselves of the uncommitted players and purchased two full German international, the Ox, Arteta, Giroud and Santos with more to come, to me that show signs of improvement.
just remember we are not and cannot compete with cfc and mcfc until we let the russian and his money on the board
Agree0

No one in their right mind would pay that for walcott. he's a 14m player tops, no matter how many years he has on his contract.

We still have Champions League football and a very widely respected manager. It is looking bleak at the moment, but lets hope the board actually do something about this!

The way walcott is going i can never see him as a cf
Agree0

I feel the need to respond. I am disappointed VP is leaving - where is the loyalty - disappointed that he sis saying the club has no vision. But I am not too bothered...he can go and will be replaced. I feel a great season but he is one tackle from being injured and if we can het 20m for him..do it. BUT the issue I have is will we replace him? That is the issue. Walcott can go. If he was not English, I am sure we would be treating him like Arshavin. Let him go...like Adebayor, a few good moves but overall (remove the pace) I do not think we would miss him.
Agree0
Disagree0
Watch all the ppl slating theo say nothing now or hope he stays lol to many of u so calld GOONERS slate your own players then wna cry like a bia**h when they wna leave, even b4 any of them even play..... i also say well done to van p mayb something will now change with the board or we will lose out again and again....

After the 2010 World Cup when it became clear that Real Madrid were willing to sell Van der Vaart, RVP recommended him as a signing to Wenger. Wenger looked into the possibility of signing him and decided against it. Doubt we would go for him now because of the fact Wenger rejected the chance to try and buy him before!
