What do you guys think is going to happen with zalalem (spelling). Could he replicate fab and play at 16 or is he likely to go on loan, hopefully to a premier league club

I actually don't want him to go on loan. My reason behind this is because he is so young I think that he will be very impressionable. Sending him to another club so early could completely change his play. So I think Arsenal need to keep hold of him for a few more years in the reserve team and then promote him to the first team whens he's 18/19

Knowing Arsene history for promoting young talent and NOT spending - remember his quote" We make superstars we don't buy them" end quote - do not be surprise to see Gnarby - on the flanks - Zelahelm - in the middle and Miquel - in defence - all promoted to the seniors this season.

I can see Frimpong been sold, along with Chamack and Bentner

Park and Ryo on loan and Gervinho given another chance to prove himself, especially if the move for Higuian OR Suarez dose not come off

Sammy Nelson, the greatest left back

He's quality. Anyone who says otherwise just hasn't seen him play. However, Cesc was exceptional and was surrounded by stars too.

Zelalem is not Cesc, and we are not Arsenal of old. Because of that, I think he should be used sparingly this season and eased in.

He's very good but don't forget he's playing against weaker opposition and just on pre-season. But he defo has bags of potential and already shows some good quality on the ball.

See tbh am sick of this. Am watching the premier league years on tv 07/08 we fell away that year because what happened to Eduardo. Since then am sick of this transfer policy its b*******. Fed up with rumours running around. The past few year we have bought mertesacker, giroud, podolski even gervinho they are average squad players its beyond a joke. Arsene if h love the arsenal love everyone on this site spend the money for top quality

My opinion, he won't trouble the first team with his presence - stop hyping up kids to be our saviours they won't be. Sure he might get the odd meaningless (in Wengers eyes) cup game but that's it. Nor would he be ready to go on loan for a season.

The fact is this is the perfect time to take over, he has a number of young players cooking up. He has a number of young players with a few experienced players in the team. I think he needs to buy players just a couple of major signings, players that will lift the experienced but enhance the young players game, cesc would be perfect but that's not going to happen but that calibre of player is what we need. Buy a captain.
All these rumours and none will happen until afc are back from pre season it's at simple.
Though I would love to think that deals already have been made and there just giving there respective clubs time to replace those we've signed but this is arsenal and its not likely.

as I posted earlier bernard will not be joining arsenal now wenger just confirmed that when asked he said thoose reports are not true our main target is saurez but if no breakthrough then will be back in for hig 48 hours are now crucial

Wenger is always full of bob he's said we wouldn't sell cesc and nasri and we did.

A week before Cazorla signed he said he had never heard of him. oh Arsene and your mind games.

He also said no to Podolski and then he sign 10 days later

Arsene also said we were never in for Arteta and he signed shortly after.

As good as bernard may be we don't need another attacking mid we need a world class striker and a dcm

Wenger told that to John Cross but Wenger would never tell anyone his transfer plans.

You may all be right, but the guy who posted this is clearly in the know.

Paul

Is it true that Ivan (the terrible) is on holiday? If he is then it's a bad omen for the season. The Mancs. Chief Exec. has flown halfway around the world to negotiate for Fab.!
Who's at our HQ working on signings?
Fellow Gooners, I have a sinking feeling. Even the Grampus game did nothing to raise my spirits.
Same faces, same style, especially as yesterday I watched goals from the 2003/04 season. That was THE
best squad ever. Flair, beauty, control, skill and pace all around the pitch. We must have some new blood. Unless Wenger has some aces up his sleeve, I fear we will miss out again this coming season.
Disillusioned from Berkshire.

IMO I still think the 2002 squad was the best.

Sometimes Wenger speak with fork tongue. Him tell wife him want 3 sausage when him only really want 2

Jayjay

I think Wenger is very literal with his answers. The report said medical Friday. I hear the medical is Thursday, announcement Friday. Therefore, as Wenger says, the report is wrong. He didn't deny Bernard would sign. Listen to his exact words.

What have Bernard and Luis Suarez got in common? Nothing at all.

Going by your logic as has been pointed out, we haven't signed Arteta and AW still doesn't know who Santi Cazorla is!

Plus. Again Bernard and LS aren't mutually exclusive when the former is a right footed, natural left-winger and would be here to replace Arsh/Gerv.

NOTHING to do w/ being a "CF/ST".

Arsene also said we wasn't close to signing pod and he didn't know who santi was, I wouldn't read in to much what he says about transfers

Wenger will NOT spend anything over £17mill this transfer window. as usual he is playing games, so that when the transfer window closes and he has signed no one of worth, he can trot out his usual rubbish "we tried to sign. blah blah blaaaaah" anyone would think it is his money and not ours (the Fans who go week in week out)

As Wenger is the ultimate student of the game and reportedly spends his holidays and any spare time he has watching dvd's, videos, blurays etc. of matches and player profiles, would anybody actually believe him if last year he said he had "never heard of Santi Cazorla"?

higuain waiting for wenger to come ane get him in the next 2 days. insider Gosten

If I was wenger I would go all out for hig now it obvious he wants to come so instead of wasten time on saurez because soon as madrid come in for him he go there so waste of time

How can you be an 'insider' when all theis information is in the daily rags?

Real Madrid deny an agreement with Napoli to sell Higuain. Higuain has privately asked for 48 hours to see if Arsenal go back in for him and can agree a fee.

Arsenal to bid 41m for Suarez tomorrow

Arsenal also set to sign Cesar

A bid has been accepted from Arsenal for Bernard this deal has come out of nowhere but Bernard is to be Gervinho's replacement.

Kongdogbia is a realistic target but the DM position will be addressed once a striker is signed. Once Suarez/Higuain is completed Fellaini will be reviewed again and it will be a contest between him, Kondogbia and Luis Gustavo

Utter rubbish.

Baysie Gooner

Please give it a rest with the higuin rumours, its gotten so boring that I rather listen to justin beiber while watching twilight just so I can get a break from the higuin rumours and trust me I've put myself through some major punishment by doing it I wouldn't wish it on the most emo, emo

Maybe if RM don't admit that they have accepted a bid from Napoli, it would mean that they can keep jacking the asking price up?
Even if we bought the Hig, I would continue pushing up Suarez's price to pi** RM off! who knows, we could end up with both of them!


ColbyGarry

While wenger is busy playing games, the spurs have signed, paulinho and chadli, and baldini is in Valencia, trying to sign Soldado.

i will always support the man, but I think he has lost his marbles completely. its not 2005, its 10 years later you old git.

Lakerville its not 2015 so how can it be 10 years later, you really need to learn maths dude

I don't believe it but I hope it is all true.

The scousers will not let suarez go for less than £48mill. and there is NO WAY tightfisted Wenger & the board will ever sanction that amount of money. {Ed052's Note - I suspect the 'Scousers' will accept something around 40m}

At the mo it seems we've lost Higuain and getting close to Suarez. Not my choice personally. Happy if we get Cesar. I won't right Suarez off, but there isn't another footballer I hate more.
