Im not claiming to be in the know or anything but using recent speculation, here is an interesting scenerio.

Reina to Arsenal (Previous interest shown by Arsenal)

Mignolet to Liverpool (Fee agreed and medical)

Mannone to Sunderland (Speculation/interest)

I for one, would be very happy if this played out. Reina would be a brilliant keeper for us and a great mentor to Szczesny.

Anyone have any thoughts on this?

If he is not good enough for Liverpool. not good enough for us.

I think would be good move aslong as didn't cost us a fortune. I rate him. And maybe with the Spanish players we have could do a Barca and tap Fabregas up

3.) 22 Jun 2013
I think your predictions are pretty spot on.

4.) 22 Jun 2013
Better we go for Mignolet if you ask me.

It would certainly be good.

I would rather Cesar tho, as far as a mentor goes he has a wide range of experience including right at the pinnacle. Not to mention he is an amazing keeper!

I'm not saying he's the right choice but I do believe that we will end up with him or valdes based on a similar speculation to yourself greeny mate.

if reina goes to barca this summer I really think we'll get valdes and if valdes stays as barca's number one keeper, mignolet going to liverpool for sure pretty much bar a contract offering and medical, we will end up with valdes through default as he won't sit on the bench at barca or be happy with the competition if they barca do sign reina. But saying all this there was a hell of a lot of speculation suggesting we've already signed cesar, so this could be well out easily too.

Bradders, I have heard today (rumours obviously) that Cesar and Arsenal have some sort of pre-contract agreement but Wenger has yet to confirm the move as he is apparently waiting on certain players. such as Mignolet, Valdes, Reina etc.

Im guessing he's playing hard so we don't sign Cesar only for Begovic or someone to become available. Just my opinion.

8.) 23 Jun 2013
I the only one who doesn't really rate reina? I used to like him years ago but last few years he has looked dodgy. Also not too keen on Valdez.

9.) 23 Jun 2013
Obviously managers don't always tell press the full truth, but Rodgers has recently stated that Mignolet is competition for Reina. Don't expect it to be too easy. Also don't forget the Stoke have signed Butland, who said he wanted to join for the promise of first team football, so Begovic may well be available, I'd prefer to him to Reina.

Reina to barca. Valdes to monaco

11.) 23 Jun 2013
Begovic signing could well see Szczesny throwing a hissy fit as Begovic could potentially take the number 1 spot permenantly.

12.) 23 Jun 2013
Cesar is always better than reina

13.) 23 Jun 2013
Yeah I've got a thought - Reina has become error prone and frankly terrible in the last two seasons. Stick with Ches, or get Cesar for a season.

Not sure Reina tbh been a great keeper but isn't he 36 or so? Look at Buffon last night against Brazil he's 36 and he's over the hill. But that is only my opinion.

I don't think Cesar has been up to much in the confed cup. I think those brazers in front of him make him look better than he really is.

16.) 23 Jun 2013
Just to throw this in the mix. How about Shay Given for a season? May not be good enough to start ahead of shez, but he'd be a great, cheap mentor

Reina is 31 and looked near to his best last season.
I think if Arsenal sign him it would be great business.

18.) 24 Jun 2013
Here's another spanner in the mix.

Barca close to signing one time arsenal target, inter Milan keeper Handanovic.

Valdes leaves THIS season maybe?

Reina now NOT going to Barca?

Interesting developments.
