i've heard that maroune fellaini is a transfer target for wenger. some reasons may include his versitality in midfield and everton's financial problems. he believes he could get him for £10 million.

Believable15 Unbelievable30

He is going to chelsea

Agree0 Disagree0

Man City rape us, we should lay off raping Everton

Agree0 Disagree0

Ide be happy iff we got him

Agree0 Disagree0

^^
i agree, lets not abuse everton by taking fellani aswell as arteta..
after all, i like everton being the best side on merseyside..

Agree0 Disagree0

They paid over £10m for him 3 years ago
can't see them being in so much money problems after finishing 7th selling him for what they paid.
crappy rumour really

Agree0 Disagree0

He is worth more than 10 million

Agree0 Disagree0

Load of ball...ocks!

Agree0 Disagree0

Why even lie. Everton payed 16 million for him a few yeard ago and he has got better plus he signed a 5 year contract last season. Id love him to sign but its just lies.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is a player I would love to see us sign. I would like to see us revert to our successful 4-4-2 or 4-4-1-1 formation, as follows:
Szczesny
Sagna Koscielny Vermaelen Gibbs
Wilshere Fellaini Song Gervinho
RVP
Podolski

&
Gordon
Jenkinson Mertesacker Mbiwa Santos
Oxlade C Arteta Frimpong Abu Diaby
Arshavin (yes ! in the Bergkamp role)
Giroud

These teams are not a 1st & 2nd team, as you need a strong sqaud to compete.

As for the price, premier league players such as Fellaini tend to be overpriced, which is why we rarely buy them. He is probably worth £15m in todays market, unless the super wealthy clubs want him. For Everton to sell, I would imagine they want £25m.

Agree0 Disagree0

Why are people showing sympathy to everyone. If he's available then we should try. Doesn't need bedding in.
At the end of the day look what everton did with the arteta money. Along with Papis cisse, nikica jelavic was the best January transfer made in the league.

Paul Rochester

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't forget about evertons poor financial situation

No claiming this as my own but seen a few twitter feeds saying M' Villa has left Frances training camp, no reason given.

Lets hope he is on route to Colney and De Jong rumours were a way of speeding things up!

RG

Believable21 Unbelievable27

Also saying he went to see about a slight injury, thats why he left the camp

Agree0 Disagree0

Does'nt concern us what he's doing.. whatever it is he's doing, it has nothing what so ever to do with arsenal. i cant see him coming to us, sorry!
why would we want him when we can have steven n'zonzi, the big man who saved blackburn from relegation and is so good every major club want him on their books?!

Agree0 Disagree0

Don't be ridiculous, you know aswell as everyone else these N'zonzi rumours are b****cks.

I am quietly confident we will sign M'vila if we want him. If we don't then people will say we missed out even if we never really went for him.

CT

Agree0 Disagree0

Saved blackburn from regelation?

Agree0 Disagree0

If we get Fellaini and Dembele, we would challenge for title, no doubt

Agree0 Disagree0

Saves Blackburn from Relegation? How could that be? Are we extending EPL in order to accomodate Blackburn next season? Pls updates me abt this.

Agree0 Disagree0

The person who posted about n'zonzi saving blackburn from relegation was being sarcastic. Ie, we would rather save money and buy a player who didnt help his team stay up. Sarcasm isnt difficult to detect

Agree0 Disagree0

Its blatantly obvious he was being ironic as the exact opposite of what he says applies to n'zonzi, thought I would clear that up for everyone

GG

Agree0 Disagree0

Sarcasm mate ^ ^

Agree0 Disagree0

Note to all posters: Always... ALWAYS disclaim sarcasm... No one gets it here, except Malaga goober (sarcasm)

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree0

He didn't save blackburn from relegation you tool, you have no idea find another sport

Agree0 Disagree0

^^^Read previous posts before making yourself look like the implement you mentioned. ;)

Agree0 Disagree0

Maybe he was being sarcastic? now who's the tool?

If arsenal don't get Kagawa do you think they could get
yoann gourcuff

Believable27 Unbelievable35

No longer in france squad struggled with form and fitness... Not too sure about him anymore.

New Gooner

Agree0 Disagree0

All is lost if this was to happen.

Agree0 Disagree0

As a loan? I think this is not a bad back up plan...

Also - I say we build a relationship with Montpellier. Maybe we can't get belhanda this season - hopefully next season!

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree0

This would be a shocking signing, would of been a good one maybe 2 years ago when we had the chance. not been the same since injury

Agree0 Disagree0

Hope he comes

Agree0 Disagree0

He still is a good player. I seen him play after his injury and seems to be playing well

Agree0 Disagree0

He got boo'd off the pitch for france vs iceland a couple of days ago, by his own fans. Nobody wants him to play for france anymore, and he looks nowhere near as good as he used to. He's lost it. Would be a terrible signing

Agree0 Disagree0

I think that he'd be a gamble but one worth taking. On his day he oozes class. I think a change of scenery would do him good. Also, if we are going to hold on to Chamakh, these two had a great understanding on the pitch. It would help them both recapture some form. Didn't we sign Overmars after he had a potentially career ending leg break? He didn't too badly for us did he?

Slick Mick

Agree0 Disagree0

He's terrible. I hate that we always want average players from the french league

Agree0 Disagree0

He was very good a few years back, he could of moved to Arsenal 2 or 3 years ago but he moved elsewhere.Wenger may move for him but not as a marquee signing but to add to the squuad and give him a 2nd chance to get his career back on track

Agree0 Disagree0

You will not get kagawa he is comin to united

Agree0 Disagree0

29 May 2012 11:38:58
Kagawa reps apparently meeting with arsenal today after Arsenal bid 13m plus Bendtner!!

Dortmund HAVE NOT accepted a bid from united yet but have accepted ours (amazingly)

It is thought utd will have to bid around 18m for him and if they do he will go there although united (hopefully) may look at other targets

This info is from a former gooner who is quite often on sky sports whom i met at a charity dinner last night (no i wasn't pissed before anyone says it!)

Believable30 Unbelievable35

LIES LIES LIES ALL LIES its been confirmed by many respected german journalists that he is on his way to man utd with both terms agreed between both clubs and the player himself.

Agree0 Disagree0

Tabloids report united have bid 17 for him. doubt very much he will be coming our way!

Agree0 Disagree0

13mln is not enough..

Are you valuing bendtner at 7mln?

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree0

So an anrsenal-insider, privi to VERY confidential information is sharing with a complete stranger... I don't think so

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree0

13mil and bendter seems very reasonable! we need to snatch him up asap we have d upper hand since day want bendter COYG

Agree0 Disagree0

He is going to United ... End of ...

Agree0 Disagree0

I doubt arsenal are in for him. Utd have raised the stakes. 17.6 mil offer and 100k a week wages and exclusive sponsership rights.

we are out of this one too.

we are going to possibly go for dempsey.

Agree0 Disagree0

Today according to German mag kicker kagawga set to join man u for 18.8 m

Agree0 Disagree0

I doubt this he is utd bound esp that they lost out on 'azard

Agree0 Disagree0

Overactive imagination right there. He is united bound. The Dortmund sporting director confirmed that the deal is almost complete.

CT

Agree0 Disagree0

Whilst I don't believe this rumour at all.. to the person who was questioning Bandter's valuation of 7million? Really? I know a lot of Arsenal fans don't like him but he scores goals, and he is a full International for Denmark.. I'd say 7million is cut price for someone like that.

-Catscangrowbeardsallover

Agree0 Disagree0

Seems that no matter what the rumour is on this site people cant wait to just jump on the no it cant happen! I could and lets hope it does!!!

Agree0 Disagree0

Hello is this true and gourcuff

Agree0 Disagree0

I think £3m tops for Bendtner.

Agree0 Disagree0

Annoys me everytime i read this rumour! so obviously false!! people please drop kagawa thing please, may as well link us to messi! united and him are deep in talks, majority of groundwork done, because unlike wenger, fergie knows how to do transfer deals!

Agree0 Disagree0

All you morons saying bendtner is not worth 7 mil... jay rodriguez is being sold by burnley for 7...huddersfield want 8mil for jordan rhodes...bendtner is an international forward..just because he hasnt worked out at arsenal doesnt mean we should sell him on the cheap like idiots

Agree0 Disagree0

Well said to the above totally agree think we could get at least between 7-9m for him

Agree0 Disagree0

Kagawa to United should be confirmed tomorrow.
Slick Mick

Agree0 Disagree0

Haha bendtner a full international. thats rubbish. would he start over ibrahimovic or guidetti in sweden?

what about germany or holland or portugal or france. hell he would not start for poland over lewandowski or shevchenko for ukraine.

the fact is denmark lack any true talent up front.. having b52 up there is their only choice.

if they could give that 12 year old youtube sensation kid from nepal a passport he would play from the bench.

remember he was at sunderland and he was on the bench...

international my ass

Agree0 Disagree0

My money is on Barry B still being at Arsenal next season, he is not worth any more than 4 - 5 million, not only that, other clubs will not pay the stupid wages Wenger gave him on his Arsenal contract, between 50 & 60 k per week.

Laddy N

Agree0 Disagree0

B****cks, Kagawa is going to United, everybody knows it, only some stupid dreamers from this site still believe this, like they did with Mata, Hazard, Vertonghen or others. So stop dreaming. Kagawa si not coming to Arsenal.

Agree0 Disagree0

That's funny cause all over the BBC today Dortmund have accepted Utd's bid. Lies!

I read this site every transfer window and luv the excitement and anger the comments cause.
i also luv trying to work out 'i have a source at the emirates', whether its fake or genuine.
well, here goes i have a source at the training ground who is very close to the players, their job is working with the first team and particularly with the captain and they are convinced that RVP is staying based only on their own feeling but taking into account that RVP is enjoying his time at AFC and his family are very settled.
on a down note they also say that there are quite a few people at the training ground who thinks he will go.
one thing is for sure if no one really knows down at the training ground then this really is a wait and see situation

MB

Believable6 Unbelievable14

Can your source get me a job there?

Agree0 Disagree0

They tried to get DB10 a job at the training ground and failed.........

MB

Agree0 Disagree0

Now THAT is something we didn't know

Agree0 Disagree0

29 May 2012 11:08:33
I believe RVP is playing a clever game. Does he really want to uproot his family who are happy in leafy Hampstead to move to Manchester or abroad? I have a feeling he is making Arsenal wait, firstly to try & get as good a financial packet as possible & also to try to force Arsenal into signing quality players. The probable outcome will be an increased signing on fee & £150k per week for 4 years. From sources that I cant divulge Arsenal are closing in on M'Vila & Giroud. Any further signings will be dependent on selling players surplus to requirements.

Believable37 Unbelievable16

Frankly, I am wondering this too - maybe he is jsut putting pressure on Wenger to buy...

We all know the family is happy hear and RVP is very good friends with Vermaelen...

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree0

No but moving to chelski a possibility for Rvp, he keeps the home life,adds some bucks and probably a few trophies.We need to add 2/3 more quality players before he resigns, which I hope he does

Agree0 Disagree0

I really can't see RVP going anywhere,he has a settled family life here,and lets face it,last season was the first season he actually stayed fit and proved what he can do.He is now 28 years and is looking for probably his last big payday.I do agree,he is probably stalling to see if quality players are coming,but RVP is a genuine person,who like Henry,Bergkamp and many other players,would never get hero worship the same at another club.

RVP told to stay at arsenal by his own mother, bring her in as a contract negotiator!

Believable35 Unbelievable7

Could'nt be any worse then the Muppet's who actually sort the contracts out

29 May 2012 09:21:45
RVP's mum and wife reiterate their statement that RVP should stay for to repay Arsenals loyalty towards him when he was always injured.

Must be staying

If Wenger decides to leave we should replace him with his RVP's mum.

Believable38 Unbelievable5

RVP should be convinced by Arsene that the team could win trophies next season. With Wishere back, Walcott improves, the signing of Podolski and other great players RVP should think about it................ He's wage is high too....... and he's family are happy in London

Agree0 Disagree0

I have bn a gunners suppoter fo a lng tm. I hv that syz abidal might come to arsenal {Ed022's Note - I'm pretty sure Abidal has now retired.}

Been told the story in El Mundo about Barca inviting Arsenal to play The Gamper is true. But just inquiry as to availability on date at mo

Believable14 Unbelievable6

Sorry for my ignorance but what is "The Gamper"? Drumsofdotl

Agree0 Disagree0

The Joan Gamper Trophy (Catalan: Trofeu Joan Gamper) or Joan Gamper Cup is an annual friendly football competition held in August, before the start of Spanish club FC Barcelona's La Liga season.[1] The competition is hosted by FC Barcelona at the Camp Nou stadium and is named in honour of Joan Gamper, a founding member, player, and later president of the club.

Agbonlahor to join Arsenal, watch this space and the other deal set to be concluded within days is Dempsey. Preparing for life after Robin!!

Believable13 Unbelievable50

Agbonlawhore is rubbish! id prefer kalou! and i dont like him at all

Agree0 Disagree0

Ha! Shopping at Lidl's again? Yes to Dempsey, no, nO, NO(!) to Agbonlahor!

Slick Mick

Agree0 Disagree0

Why would arsenal sign agbonglahor? he isnt arsenal quality! i think dempsey would be a good signing and if RVP goes i hear that arsenal may sign dzeko or nilmar! good signing if true!

Agree0 Disagree0

Inside News from the emirates. Not going to reveal the source but take the news as you will. There are real fears that RvP won't be signing an extension, a couple of the younger players have expressed this to my source however they hear Arsene is doing all he can to make sure RvP stays.
M'Villa deal is as good as done, and only a few little details need to be ironed out. Apparently there will be a fair few coming and goings and alot of the young guys are worried they could be let go.

Inside Gooner

Believable21 Unbelievable31

M'vila deal almost wrapped up? he will not discuss anything untill after the euro's. wants to see what other clubs are intrested in him.

Agree0 Disagree0

M'villa is a done deal, won't be announced to after euro's but is 100% done. We should be more worried over RvP mind you

Agree0 Disagree0

Eds, what are the chances that Nigel De Jong would be on the move in the summer? I know he's not everyone's favourite player but you can't disregard what he does in my opinion, it is certainly effective. {Ed001's Note - he is very likely to move and City are searching for a replacement, with Javi Martinez definitely being high on their wish list.}

Believable20 Unbelievable6

Cracking player, would definitely take him if we don't get M'vila

kev88

Agree0 Disagree0

Very good at his job but unless he was willing to take a massive pay cut i can't see it happening.would be a bit underwhelming to end up with DeJong after chasing M'vila for so long

Agree0 Disagree0

Would not be the worst signing and would be affordable

Billybob

Agree0 Disagree0

I would love Nigel DeJong, he wouldnt mind not starting and he does his job effectively, would be a good signing IMO plus his premier league proven unlike M'villa
dan

Agree0 Disagree0

I would rather add 15 - 20 mill to the CAM we need both pong and conq can play the holding role
spanner

Agree0 Disagree0

Good player! But can we afford his wages?

Agree0 Disagree0

We have Frimpong - if we need some one to rough people up

Agree0 Disagree0

Think that dejong would give us something that we needed last season..
Frimpong is still young, and jong have the experience..
