Denilson headed back to his old club, Sao Paolo on a 1 year loan. Numerous outlets in S. America reporting this & backed up by local Arsenal bloggers there.

See ya

Yeah with us paying his wages - great financial management wenger and gazidis ..

There is a God

Where does it say who pays his wages? Id like to see it. Denilson isnt the next gilberto thats for sure.

Ed (and everyone else) what are your opinions on wenger forcing Nasri to stay and taking the risk of letting go on free next season. Is a new contract round the corner, does he want to wait to see what singings we make or how we start our season? {Ed002's Note - I suspect if Fabregas goes and NAsri is offered a new deal and teh Captain's armband everyone will be happy. If not, then he has to be moved on for the best price possible.}

I agree somewhat with what Ed002 is saying about Nasri waiting to see if Cesc is sold, allowing him to play in his preferred position, before agreeing a new deal. I strongly hope Wenger isn't planning on offering him the armband though, Van Persie or Vermaelen would be my choice for next captain.

Yeah, van Persie would be me first choice then Vermaelen, even then I don't think I would consider Nasri for captaincy because of how he has failed to step up and say he is loyal to Arsenal.

I would feel like the team was being centred around one player a bit too much, like Henry in his last year at Arsenal and Nasri hasn't anywhere near earnt the respect I have for a player like Henry.

I totally agree about vermaellan being captain. In his first season he showed grit and determination that most our players lack

Despite wengers bold claims i honestly cant see him and a ruthless business man like stan kroenke letting nasri go for free next season.if nasri wont sign the deal then i fully expect he will be gone by the start of the season.

Don't think the center midfield postion matters in keeping him at arsenal if he moves to city they play with the 3 holding midfielders de jong barry and toure so he would have to play out wide there to, think the fact he as apparently been offered 160 000 pound a week that's made him change his mind which postion he plays he won't sign a new contract that's for sure so it sell for as much as possible or see him sign a pre contract somewhere else in january

If the window slams shut and Nasri is still at Arsenal then I feel he owes it to the club to sign a new contract, not necessarily so that he can stay at Arsenal beyond his last year but so that Arsenal can receive a transfer fee if/when he exits. if he left for free it would really feel like he's walking out with two fingers up at the club.
I'm pretty certain he will sign a new contract anyway. look at this way. Arsenal won't allow him to move so if he plans to leave next summer on a free transfer then he will have to remain on his current wages for an entire year when there's a contract offer sitting there waiting for him to sign that will more than double his wages. why play for an entire year on half the wages the club are willing to give you? then there's the agent's cut also. we all know agents get their cut from transfer fees. if Samir goes on a free next summer then his agent is losing out on a lot of money however if he signs a new contract then when Arsenal sell him next summer for a huge transfer fee (if Samir wants out) then the agent will get his windfall. if Samir hasn't signed a new contract by the end of the window then I'm pretty certain his agent will be pushing him to do so very soon after. expect a contract with escape clauses added into it such as Samir being allowed to leave if Arsenal fail to win any silverware or struggle to compete for the title again.

arsenal should buy micha richards would be a great signing but wenger just wants the french players and youth that cant win CUPS.

Why would city want to sell us Richards?

To a point I understand what your saying... but with arsenals resources why pay 20 odd mil on a hyped up english player when you can get the same player from abroad for half the price.

We had the chance to get him but we have the best rb in the EPL and jenkison

Why would we need richards when we have samba. He would rather be first choice than decent backup

City rejected 20m from Liverpool in Jan. So with you 20mil budget you will have to sell more players to even stand a chance

Richards is too small for central defence...we need a 6" 3....or 6"4 c.b..i still question songs abilty to protect the defence, when do you see him clearing his lines from corners and free kicks the way viera did.He also lacks drive from midfield aswell.Buy a big commanding central defender or even two that would allow us to put one of our three ball playing c.bs into midfield (for games like stoke or Bolton away)varmealen, Koscielny or djourou......particularly VERMAELEN who surged from defence against villa the last home game of the season.Before you laugh, petit was a defender for Monaco before he came to us.WHAT DO YOU THINK ED. {Ed001's Note - Richards is excellent in the air, I don't see his height as a problem.}

Hi ed...am saquib....can u plz tell me what r the influences of barca players comments on cesc and arsenal? And now that madrid has officially announced they r in hunt for another striker, shall we xpect benzema to come close to us? And plz also let me know whats wengers position in subotic deal? Thank u very much...hope u reply. ...t.c., {Ed002's Note - The influence of anything said by Barcelona players is insignificant to Arsenal. Benzema may be used as part of a deal for Tevez or may be sold. I don't know of any Subotic deal for Arsenal.}

AW is looking to complete a double signing from wolves by the end of next week. Doyle and Hunt - combined fee of £12million. From a good source in the midlands.

I don't think this will happen.you can have hunt by all means but doyle is staying put.ps believe me you don't want hunt total waste of space.seen better at the local park.

Doyle and Hunt £12m
Haaaaaa Haaaaaa Haaa Haaa Ha Ha.
Dreaming Gooner. On the downward slope.

IF Wenger is looking at a wolves player it should be Jarvis. Lets hope there is nothing in Doyle or Hunt.

Mong Out

Where's the punch line?

Clearly a spurs fan who wrote this. shocked that you actually published it ed, Ive had more realistic rumours denied posting..

Hunt im better than that nomad and im 17stone

Hunt is a decent player, not Arsenal quality though... wouldn't mind Doyley, the boy can score, prehaps with a higher quality of team mate he could flourish?

All these people slagging hunt off, your all mad. He is a good player who will work his socks off for you for 90mins plus. You obviously not football fans

Doyle is a class player we would be mad to sell him.as for hunt i can't see why we (wolves)bought him in the first place other than mick love his irish....

Ins:
Jenkinson (done)
Gervinho (done)
Samba
Benzema
Kaka

Outs:
Fabregas
Nasri
Almunia
Denilson
Bendtner
Eboue

Kaka? Maybe Mata and Gourcuff

Kaka would make no sense for us. Just spent a lot of last season out injured and is on massive wages at Real I'm sure. Not to mention they'd probably expect a rather large transfer fee considering they spent something like 55m euros on him just 2 years ago.

Na not kaka, wouldnt be surprised if city made a bid for him though...

Take Nasri, Kaka and Eboue out of the post and it would be a little more believable

If arsenal this year play there cards right they could have a chance i would love to see Samba Benzema but with mata and Gourcuff and sell all them players part from nasri and when you look at what the line up could be mata walcott nasri (in his fav pos) gourcuff wilshire that would be an amazing mid with van persie and gen up front i also heard that Theo has been told he will get more chances as a striker this year so maybe with the likes of nasri mata and that looking at the walcott speed on the last man would be crazy

Thanks to the unrespectful comments of Xavi any chance of Fabregas leaving for Barcelona this summer is crushed.

Unless they stump-up £40M. of course.

It's "disrespectful" you Spud, and if you seriosuly believe that some off the cuff comment from a player is going to influence a business deal valued in the region of 50,000,000 Euros (transfer fee + wages, etc) then my poor deluded fellow Arsenal supporter you are more foolish than a simple grammatical eroor suggests......If all parties accept and/or want it to happen, then Mr Fabregas will take his empoyable skills to a new employer; what Xavi, Ineista or even the self appointed Lord God Rupert Murdoch himself says or thinks, it will happen.

Barca wont pay up because cesc can buy himself out his contract if he wanted to for around 28m... they would then give him it back as a sign on fee.. but as far as im aware cesc wouldnt disrespect the club like that.. who knows

When mocking grammatical errors, you should try and spell "eroors" correctly to ensure you don't look like a tw*t.

The word your looking for is disrespectful, unrespectful is not a word and the sentence makes no sense because Fabregas has confirmed his desire to play for Barcelona
