Arsenal Rumours Archive January 09 2013

A friend of mine who knows a sport journalist (always seems to be close to the mark when it comes to London clubs) hearing some roumours that Arsenal reprisentatives are meeting with Swansea representatives tonight in London in order to come to some sort of agreement over the transfer of Michel Vorm, if talks go well he will stay in London tonight in order to meet with the club tommorow morning before returning to Swansea, any move would take until early next week with personal terms to be agreed, would be a great signing for us as backup to Szczeny, what do you think eds? Possible?

He's a very good keeper in my opinion but not sure he'd leave Swansea if he wasn't guaranteed first team football.

Wouldn't say no to his arrival though!

Mike

He'd be great as cover, but certainly he would not want to come to be a backup

He's prob good enough to take szesnys place at the mo

I dare say he will be a backup, but probably a first choice.

I think he is a better than Sczc!

He's better than Szczesny, arguably best keeper last year.

Why would he be backup

Not likely, why would he move from a team where he's guaranteed first team football to a team where he won't get a game?

Why would michel Vorm leave a club in form to come to us when we stagnant.
Why would he risk contending for first choice when he is assured games with Swansea...come on lets think before we post

ES

Back up? If we sign him he should start as our number 1 GK!

Any keeper that comes in will be backup and will need to know that. Szczesny is still our main man and I think the boss still has faith in him.

I don't think so to be honest, it isnt like he would come to us and wenger needs midfielder and lots of defenders

I work at heathrow and i saw nobody.

Terminal 5 then? Did you see my suitcase?

337

He is definitely better then santos and isn't as injury prone as diaby, hope we can get him cheap

I love this - thank you.

Metal Gooner

What position does your suitcase play?

WG

Are you sure you saw nobody?

10 Jan 2013 10:06:49
Keep up the great work and be sure to report back as soon as you see somebody!

Stoner

Best Post in Ages lmao

Butland being scouted by aw also lopez deal nearly done walcott to sign new deal this window wanyama is a target could be ours for 12-16m

Lopez, Wanyama and a Theo extension would be a great transfer window... and realistic!

I highly doubt Wenger's even considering bringing another keeper in though.

Anyone have any idea why we played Frimpong at left wing today?

Santos was at LB and Meade didn't even feature. Nor did Gnabry.

Frimpong got sent off! :')

Would have been to improve Frimpong and Santos' fitness.

Hackney Gooner

Never understood why non-rhetorical questions and facts get disagrees?

Frimpong played in the middle with Coquelin from how it looks, diaby attacking mid eisfeld on the right and ox on the left, santos and diaby were for fitness and gnabry has been hurt for a while

10 Jan 2013 07:07:13
Probably because "non-rhetorical questions and facts" like that aren't rumours and would be better on the banter page, but I guess that's down to the editors and not yourself.

AW Keeping close eye on Celtic Keeper Fraser Forster, he rates the Celtic stopper very highly, be a good signing imp.

Maybe Arsenal should just bid for Celtic. So far we want Foster, Wanyama and Hooper.

10 Jan 2013 15:27:32
Better than some of the crap you have Walcott 90k a week frigging joke

09 Jan 2013 13:28:22
i am told adrian lopez will be paraded as an arsenal player late next week.
he will sign a 5 year contract worth 70k a week..

malaga gooner

I am told....

why start all your posts like that when you just make up a story? we've been linked with him throughout the summer, unless you know he's signing why get our hopes up?

I love ya Malaga. Flybo

I hope it's not true not world class by any means

Seems like you are being told quite a fair bit bro.... any chance it's your football manager game?

Malaga,
Not saying that I don't believe everything you say?? But what do you do for a living here in spain?


estepona gooner

Malaga, you should change your name to- The boy who cried "WOLF".

Ha Ha you r so funny you must be our top scout lol

Another golden moment of glitter covered turd straight from the mouth of malaga

I reckon Malaga Gooner is really AW, throwing about false news in the hopes that someone from Spurs will see it and focus their attentions on them. 'cos let's face it, we all know Spurs just scout who our scouts have been watching.. If they think we're in for Lopez then that will take their attention away from who we're really after.. David Villa, anyone? ;)

Italian paper Corriere dello Sport claim Fulham and Arsenal are tracking Roma keeper Maarten Stekelenburg, who is available for around 5million.

Bradders

If Stekelenburg moves to fulham. I wouldn't mind Schwarzer coming here if he is prepared to sit on the bench.

09 Jan 2013 12:00:08
Negredo and Biglia supposedly tempting Arsene. Don't know much about either player, whats every ones opinions?

Bradders

Ngredo is class. Cant speak about Biglia

LAMPARD TO ARSENAL 4.5MILLION TRANSFER 3YR CONTRACT DONE. SIGNING THIS MORNING

PRESS CONFERENCE LUNCHTIME

A 3 year contract to someone over the age of 30? Clearly you arent aware of the Arsenal contract policy? Especially not to someone who is 34!

Lies, lies and more lies.....get a life

Would welcome the signing, English, experienced, knows what it takes to succeed in this league! Can't see it happening though.

Gooner Mike.

STOP TALKING BS! would be a good 1 year signing, but why would he move across the border after we slag him off every year

Seriously ? come on !!!

Lol too funny 4.5 million for a 34 year old on 150k a week

I smell bu** sh*t

AS IF WE WOULD PAY 4.5MIL AND OFFER A 3 YEAR DEAL ON A 34 YEAR OLD LOL........SO FUNNY....YOUR INSIDE INFO MUST BE IN APRIL FOOL LAND

! Matt the Sheppey Gunner !

Why would we pay for him IF we were signing him?
Even if it was to ensure we get him, it'd be a nominal fee.

I'M SO CONFUSED

D

Wanna be teams sign players on the way down. I'd be embarassed if Arsenal signed a 34 year old.

I would love him, a proper player. However, I can't see it myself.

Writing in caps doesnt make this any more true!

He;s on about 130k, no way he's gonna dip down below 100k unless he was signing on a free and for a 34 yr old thats insane for any club right now let alone us.

poor attempt frisco

Brilliant, Joke of the week. Tell us another lol.

So after lunch we can call you a liar.

I heard Ian Wright was coming out of retirement and signing a 3 year deal as well

LIAR LIAR PANTS ON FIRE! (13:02pm)

Well thats suprising its gone lunch and nothing .... liar !

A complete waste of a post as we all know the clubs policy on contracts to players over the age of 30

This can't be true...we need a new holding midfielder not another ramsey like player

LOL, that is all!!!!

The Dude

Why write such rubbish!!!

Just got of the phone to his next door neighbour its all off now he want 100k we only offered 70k

Love to see him playing for us a great pro

Mistranslated quote. He said there will be no LOAN transfer of Villa in Jan.

Hey Ed002, I have been following this site since 2006 and have been on here everyday since, great job guys with this site. I searched this rumour mill for any information on the striker Loic Remy and the last update was on the 14th of December. I know Wenger rates him because of his occasional comparison to Henry, so any update on Wenger going after him in this window?

ENCINITAS GOONER {Ed002's Note - Chelsea, Spurs, Newcastle, Everton, QPR, Shalke 04 and Lille have shown varying degrees of interest in Loic Remy but there have been no approaches to Marseille regarding Remy from Liverpool. There was discussion with Chelsea about Remy during the negotiations over Azpilicueta but it came to nothing. Remy would perhaps be interested in a move to England but his recent form has been poor and Marseille know it will be difficult to get a good price for the player. Newcastle will very likely complete the transfer of Remy in January, although there is a slim chance that they might face opposition from Everton who made a recent approach to Marseille about his availability on loan and QPR who are looking for a deal invloving a player moving in the opposite direction. As far as Marseille are concerned, they have started looking for a replacement but will hold out as long as they can to get the best price they can.}

Hello guys, couldn't help but post the rumours ive been hearing:
The rumours are Roberto Soldado has been involved with a phone call with AW considering a move to the emirates.
He would make an historic signing due to his prolific heading and finising it would make a wonderfull edition to Wengers 11. He has been an clinical edition to the La Liga and would no doubtly score more than 15 goals a season he is the ultimate centre forward mystro. Another totally epic signing from the Wenger myster shorley? Heard anything about this ed? if so BRILL !


Thanks guys from True gunna {Ed002's Note - That would be tapping up.}

Would love to see Soldado at Arsenal but I can't see it. I suspect he would be very expensive for starters! Odd though that no other big clubs seem to have been linked with him over the past few seasons. His scoring record in La Liga is superb.

Ed, i just saw an article saying Chelsea are interested in the man, David Villa. i am not saying for definite he is moving but what i am saying is, if he does move to EPL he will move to Chelsea due to tight pocket Stan, but then Arsenal are meant to be a passing team like Barca (really poor these days we tend to create very little from pass and move) so Villa might want to move to us more. Whats your opinion? Will he move at all and to who? would you even like him at arsenal? {Ed002's Note - Arsenal are certainly interested in David Villa but I am not aware of any agreement at this time and Liverpool may well have made an approach about a loan. Given Villa has never wanted to play outside of Spain, is 30+ and no doubt be expensive in terms of insurance and wages, I am not so sure it would be a great move by any EPL club. Whilst he and Sanchez will be sacrificed, I suspect the summer is the more likely time for a move.}
