Just read very exciting yet optimistic news; Stekelenberg could be joining this summer. He saidhimself he would leave if Arsenal made a bid. What do you reckon Ed, believable?
Ben {Ed005's Note - I'm sure it is believable. I personally believe Arsenal need a goalkeeper and Wenger should spend big money to get one. I don't think that lad Schezney (sp.) is, or ever will be good enough.}

**CORRECTION TO MY EARLIER POST (NET SPEND WAS WRONG)**
With that in mind, and the rumour that Mexes does not want to join, here is my revised team.
Sales: (He won't sell half the squad as some people are suggesting)
Fabregas (£40m)
Almunia (£2m)
Bendtner (£7m)
Denilson (£4m)
(Total = £53m)
Buys:
M Steklenburg (£15m)
P Mertesacker (£12m) - or another CB for equivalent
S Parker (£7m)
K Benzema (£20m)
LW (£25m)
**(Total = £79m)**

Bench :

J Djourou / L Koscielny
K Gibbs
S Parker (£7m)
A Ramsey
A Arshavin
M Chamakh
K Benzema (£20m)
This is a dangerous squad!
Net Spend = £26m - If AW sells Cesc for around £40m and does not re-invest similar to the cost of these transfers, he has officially lost his marbles.

It has been reported in spanish papers that Man utd have agreed to a £15 million transfer for David De gea or Van De gea as they call him in spain.
Maarten Stekelburg has stated he will join arsenal if they come for him. Wenger make him a damn offer.
Targets who have turned down links to arsenal
Mexes, Felipe Melo.
Gael Clichy is wanted by juventus with their football director to be in london this week. £13 million is the reported price and armand traore to be sent back to arsenal and sold as wenger does not see him in the long term plans.
Aguero to chelsea link grows with the fact De Gea is joining madrid and Athletico raising funds to rebuild squad. Forlan is on the market too.
Pastore looks likely to join madrid. Kaka, marcelo, gago, canales on their way out. Pastore prefers la liga to english league.
Im not sure if this is rumour or banter but none of this stuff is my own opinion. just extracts from club news, and rumours from today. take it how you may.

Arsenal face competition from Juventus for Ajax goalkeeper Maarten Stekelenburg.
Tuttosport says Juve are ready to cash in on Gigi Buffon to fund their own transfer plans this summer.
A host of keepers are now under consideration as Buffon's replacement, including Salvatore Sirigu (Palermo), Federico Marchetti (Cagliari) and Stekelenburg.
But the Dutchman revealed to Tuttosport: "If an offer from Arsenal arrives, I will leave."

Nothing to do with arsenal but anyone read about mourinho being mentioned with two clubs in the upper half of the EPL table?
According to his agent he will command a £20 mill salary and £150 mill transfer budget.
The only two teams in the top half who can afford these conditions are Chelsea and Man City.
Chelsea would seem to have the upper hand but you can never discount the arab oil lottery fund. an interesting summer awaits.
