AC Milan have oppened the bidding war for andriy yarmolenko with £12.5 million which was unsuprisingly rejected. Arsenal have just learned of this and are deciding whether to make a £14.5 million bid for him or not. Borussian Dortmund have made an official enquiry for him but he isn't there top priority as they already have reus for next season in the winger role but they remain a fan. Dynamo Kiev are thought to want £16.5 million for him but are willing to negotiate.

We dnt need another winger! we need to work on out defense, left bak right bak defensive mid, possibly a verstaile defender hu can cover both full bak n centre bak! n dnt forget a back up experienced keeper

Yarmolenko is a good player but i don´t think he is the player that arsenal needs...konoplianka or matias suarez are better and could adapt quickly in arsenal style and are more incisives in his games
Agree0

8-10 mill + arshavin would work
And if Walcott refuses to sign an extension which I don't think he will we would need a replacement
Paul - Rochester

Bidding war and arsenal are words that don't go together, go play football manager somewhere else

Read on twitter that man city are preparing a player swap deal with Arsenal for RVP, with Adam Johnson and Lescott to go the other way- Sound plausible or utter BS?

Can't see it, lescott is 29 and would want big money, Johnson id take, but I'd we bought him, not in a RVP swap, that said his wages are probably high.

Johnson wouldn't make the team better.
Agree0

Doubt Lescott would be willing to drop down from guaranteed first team football - and possibly a pay cut. Still a great player though.
Johnson would be great but I can't see where he'd fit into the squad with the players we have in his position.

I'd take dzeko and lescott, pretty unlikely though

Lescott is another predominantly left-sided CB, same went for Vertonghen, with Vermaelen & Koscielny both more comfortable on the left hand side of the CB pairing, Lescott is not an option. We also have 3 number one CB's, Lescott wont want to be considered a reserve. We have Ox, Walcott, Gervinho, Podolski & Miyaichi for the wide positions, so Johnson is a no go. I believe we will want £30m for RVP, but will accept £25m, which is viryally the cost of Giroud & Podolski.

Deffo bs, any way i wouldent accapt it if it were true

Ed is there a possibility Wenger is going for Javi Martinez instead of M'vila?

Agree0

I thought couldn't officially sign until 1st July.
Agree0
Disagree0
It's probably like a pre-signed contract.
Agree0
Disagree0
Just the formal contract cannot be offically signed until 1st that is all.
Agree0
Disagree0
He cant sign a pre contract because his still under contract ,dont you read eds replys.dont know why you bother ed.... {Ed027's Note - we bother for wonderfull people like you
Agree0
Disagree0
I think you'll find they can sign a contract commencing on a certain date with permission of the selling club.
Agree0
Disagree0
Looks like someone questioning the eds knowledge looking forward to the reply
Agree0
Disagree0
That's right you can buy at any time with the consent of the selling club but the player cant be registered outside of a transfer window
Agree0
Disagree0
So does the silence mean the eds were wrong ? {Ed002's Note - The transfer cannot be completed until July 1.}
Agree0
Disagree0
I understand that july 1st issue..but you said they cant sign a pre-contract whilst under contract..so someone is wrong ? {Ed002's Note - They have not signed a pre-contract. Why is this so difficult to understand?}
Agree0
Disagree0
Its not ed,the fella above said they can ,and no ed came back and said they could not im with you on this just tell the other fella his wrong then thankyou...
Agree0
Disagree0
{Ed002's note - your wrong mate above, you cant sign a pre-contract even with the sellers say so under contract } there you go ed easy.......

Makes a change. We need to avoid at all costs the panic last minute buying of last year. Need to give the new signings a

Reports suggest that we have bid £4 mil for Kader Mangane, Senegalese centre back currently at Rennes. Bit like Chris Samba I think. It has come from Daily Mail.

I hope not he is too old, too slow and not skilful enough. We need players who will improve the team either now or in the future.

Ah yes, the Daily Mail: well known oracle of the truth. The people who brought you balanced and objective headlines such as "Hurrah For The Blackshirts!" I'm surprised they manged to fit a football story in amongst all the usual alarmist mince about wheelie bin collections/house prices/immigration etc etc.

Ignasi Miquel to join Brighton on loan.

Good he needs that. i watched him against Liverpool last season.hes got some promise!!
Agree0

I'd have Miquel in the back four ahead of Squillaci, Djourou & Mertesacker (and ahead of Gibbs at left back). We might come to regret this given our injury record, but at least he'll get regular competitive football.
