Talk Sport have on their website that Juan Manual Vargas is set to leave Fiorentina after he showed up late to training after a late night drinking session. The manager called him unprofessional and 73% of fans voted on a poll that they think he will leave. TS say they were looking 13mil but that price might come down now. Id like him at the club although wouldnt want a repeat of that. Him along with Hazard a top class striker we would be amazing up top. Maybe a CB and a CM as well but il not be greedy.
Szczensy
Sagna Mertesacker Vermaelen Santos
Song Wilshere
Gervinho Hazard Vargas
V.Persie
Add a CB, CM, ST and we'd have a class squad.

Signing a guy (although good) who stays out drinking after a training session is not the kind of player we want here
also, if Florence is too attractive to drink in, then how ill london compare?

Vargas wont make us better...we need players who will add 10 points to our current 10 points. not one that adds 2 points.
Mvila, Martin and Hulk or Rossi for me.
there are alot of class players out there.
we should raid valencia as they are in financial turmoil. we missed out on mata but they have soldado and pablo hernandez and so on.

And this solves our defensive problems exactly how? I am like the rest of the Gooners, i like to daydream about world class forwards and fancy tippy tappy midfielders like everybody else, but at the moment, i'd rather see Vertoghan from Ajax bought, along with another of either Gary cahill, or Christopher Samba..

Nothing wrong with our defense, and besides, if we cant attack, then all we will be doing in a match is defending, which of course makes the defenders seem more vulnerable than they really are.

Mr. Wenger, please break the bank and get Goetze! Unlike all the over hyped players we are forever linked to, this boy looks the business!

Its really, really simple arsenal are not prepared to go into debt over wages unlike the others, thats the long and short of it.

Götze to Chelski as a Lampard replacement aswell as Hazard and Subotic in 95 million January swoop. We will pick someone cheaper, like Barry Bannan, Samba and Victor Moses.

Vermaelen signs a new contract, get in!
I heard that M'Vila and Martin are serious targets for Wenger this Jan, also we may get Pogba if he refuses a new deal with United. I did say during the summer that I would like M'Vila and MMM at the Emirates. Pleased with the win at the weekend and hopefully we can pull a few more together.
Sorry for blabbing on a bit, but my computer just got fixed so now I can post regularly.

P.S.

According to various poor sources we are considering moves for M'Vila and Martin, and Chamakh is wanted by Bordeaux, PSG and Lille.
Who thinks Chamakh will stay and who thinks he will go? I am not asking what you want to happen, but what you think will happen. Eds what do you think?

If he goes for 12m then we should get a proven scorer not a wc forward because we should get one anyway but a proven goal scorer that we can take a risk on
Agree0

I think he will stay, wenger likes to give poor performing players atleast 5 seasons to improve. See nick, diaby, denilson, djouro, almunia et al for confirmation.
Daniel

I would personally drive or pay for chams fair to any where he wanted to go, he is a ver poor player and not even as good as nicky, i think wede get about 8 mill for cham bearing in minde we got him for free

Press article today saying Wenger told some radio station that in the summer half the squad wanted to leave.
Suddenly I feel very bad for him. He cited it as being mostly a money thing too. He said something like 'Historically if you look at Man City you do not go there to win trophies. It is because they can offer higher wages than us, they have more financial clout.'
What a way to call out Clichy and Nasri haha.
Again I would love to know why Vieira has done what he has done - he was an Arsenal legend and I for one always thought he'd come back to our club. Instead he stayed there and dragged most of our french contingent over there too. Something doesn't sit right with me over Vieira, it really doesn't. Kind of feels like betrayal!

Agree with your comments on Vieira. Nasri made comments on the official Manchester City website that Vieira was instrumental in him deciding to go to City. Vieira promised him that he had the best chance to win at City more so than any other club.
So an Arsenal legend is luring an Arsenal player away from the club? It really is sad that money can buy almost anyone and that Vieira is over working for City. We all know one thing, Thierry Henry would never do something like that.

Arsenal sold vieira in the end because he was geting to big for his boots told ashley cole not to settle less for 90,000 a week how true this was i dont know but does make a lot of sense
Agree0

Not that difficult to think the Viera thing through. He has the chance to build his coaching career with world class stars, with a team that will challenge for every trophy or for us who will finish mid table and aside from the crocked Wilshere and Vermailen only have RVP (who should leave by this time next year to have the deserved chance of a trophy before his career is finished). Shame as I hate City and love Arsenal but it's the real world.
