Ed, after watching the euros tonight, would veloso be an option on the sentral midfield if mvila wont come? Is there any interest around him? {Ed022's Note - Probably not.}

Veloso had one good game All season for genoa he has been very questionable!
Dan

He was touted to be a target of Arsenal and Man Utd several seasons ago.

Nothing Since though

ed- do you think we could get samir nasri back from man city becasue mancini is ready to listen to offers and arsenal look intrested {Ed022's Note - Very very very unlikely.}

Think he would still do a decent job for us but he would have to take a 100k PW wage cut (guessing) and we also have the problem of 99% of fans hate the guy

While we are here....

can we get Cesc back?

MrD.

I didn't like him when he left, but would have him back easily

I certainly don't want that money grabber back at the club, we need loyal players, not someone like Nasri.

Ted

We need good players Nasri is a very good player We as fans need to grow up and forget

He would NEVER be accepted back... And as for 'and arsenal look intrested'.... HOW CAN YOU TELL THIS?

I think we can accept him back to his former club because he is a good player and we need good players to build our team

Dzagoev is a free agent at the end of the year. He is a quality player as we saw him score 2 goals against Czech Republic.
Ed, do you think Arsenal will make a bid for him this summer or try and get him at the end of the year and would he be interested in joining Arsenal? {Ed002's Note - At a guess: No, Yes, Yes. Dzagoev has interested Chelsea in the past but Arsenal have shown a lot of interest this past year including sending a contingent to watch him play in Moscow back last summer. He will be available on a free transfer at the end of the year, not in the summer.}

Hatem Ben Arfa to Arsenal for 10m ? well ok that I just read on a few net sites !

So my rumour ? - Check this out.......

Arsenal are chasing Mesut Özil and I am reliably informed (well that means not that much but take note I will at least sign my post, and whilst I am on the subject, I take no notice at all of un-signed posts) that it involves some kind of deal.

Dont know what kind, player swap, who knows.

Anyway, I will update further when I know.

I recently posted to withdraw a rumour that I had posted as I found out it was not going to happen, I encourage such honesty amongst us all !

Gooner 1

Yeah,good luck with that one.
Braintreegooner

Could have come up with something better than gooner 1....

but regardless ive heard this a few times, would be great to see him, arsenal seem to be building on there german players... we'll see eh?
WG

Real Madrid would be mad to sell him. ABSOLUTELY MAD

Madrid will never sell him. After a poor start to their season he went onto be be one of if not the best player for them. Cant see this happening at all

I like Ben Arfa but really can't see Wenger going for him whilst Diaby is still on squad, they don't get on from years back in Clarefontaine

Diaby and ben arfa do not hate each other


watford gooner

A transfer that will involve "some kind of deal"? Like, the exchange of monetary funds for a player's registration? Pretty sure that all transfers involve a "deal" of some sort!

how would anyone feel if we got granero from real madrid? just he sounds like a wenger type deal (cheap and not too old)? {Ed002's Note - Granero is surplus to long-term requirements in Madrid and will likely leave the summer. Granero could interest any number of clubs and may be used as a makeweight in a transfer. Only solid interest at this time has been from Blackburn Rovers and Sevilla back in January but unsubstantiated rumours have linked him to Liverpool and Espanyol as well but there is no confirmation of either clubs interest.}

09 Jun 2012 11:10:47
ed- do you think we could land affelay from barcalona this season but also he is a free agent next year {Ed002's Note - Afellay has been out injured pretty much all of this season and I think future chances at Barcelona may be limited but the kid is keen to stay and Barcelona seem keen to have him as a squad player. However, I think it is still possible that he will be available in the summer and that Barcelona would listen to offers. Italy looks like one option available to him if he is sold and there may be interest from the likes of Liverpool, Arsenal, Spurs and Newcastle.}

Hope we do get him

Sign Affelay and RvP couls stay

dzagoev looks quality, free in jan. reckon we should set aside reasonable amount for his wages so we don't miss out.
arshavins back so we should cash in on him now.

GGG

Well I know it's fairly early doors but it looks like Dzagoev will be on a lot more teams radars now. Interest will sky rocket after the euros.

In Arsene I Trust.

we should cash in on Ramsey i think there's no room for him

Ramsey has simply lost it. Such a waste of great potential but there's no use for him, especially that Arshavin will now get a shout in midfield due to his display for Russia.

Eddy97

He had one sort of bad year and you want him out, he is just lacking confidence which ain't a surprise when people like you knock him. We need to get behind these players!!! seen arshavin play since we loaned him out

Ramsey is awful

I think he needs to go out on loan to someone like Swansea (i know hes from Cardiff), who play good football so he can gain his confidence back and learn not to waste possession, i'm sure he'll be a top talent just needs some time. Plus the Swans could do with him with the likely loss of Sigurdsson

Ramsey is good player just needs some confidence rosicay was far worse for the last 2 years and look at him now confidence and form returned looks like the player we thought we signed.

P!$$ off you lot and go support chelsea.

Galway Gonner.

Ramsey is not awful. He has the talent to be a class player but because of clowns like u he has no confidence. This Ramsey hate for no reason has got to stop!

Stupid post really.
squlliaci is awful, chamakh is awful eboue was awful etc
but this was his first full season back from injury and people want him out, total nuts.
we have far far worse culprits than aaron to move on and he's got time on his side, let him be and worry about the likes of diaby who is royally mugging off the club week after week year after years

Instead of criticising the lad show him some support, he's had to come back from a horrific injury and could do with people getting behind him so he can gain his confidence back.

Id consider a swap for heskey

I would take Ramsey over Song and Diaby anyday.

Luke

Good footballer,got to work hard on acceleration,onepaced,wenger played him too much last year,but wenger seems to like him,so i better shut up.

Im welsh so you can imagine how much i support ramsey so how can u say sell him
he just had his leg shattered and your expecting him to be world class
wtf is wrong with some of you
itll take him maybe another season but after that watch this space

Hi, this is my first time posting, I have just had an extensive chat with an old friend who works as an accountant at Arsenal (very reliable source). For anyone who understands accountancy he often works on calculating the amortization of players contracts/fees in the budget going forward this therefore gives him some insight on potential signings. This is what he has told me tonight.

A lot of contact has been made regarding Affelay at Barca, he seems to be the number 1 traget in the CAM role. A bid for Gotze was made in January (Doesnt know how much) but this was rejected and we refused to bid any higher. No contact has been made since. The other player potentially is Lewis Holtby, we made an enquiry a few months back regarding a deal involving Bendtner going the other way which was rejected however we are still interested. Werder Bremen and Dortumd have both bid for Bendtner but rejected as it was less than £6million (arsenals valuation). An agreement is in place to re-open talks after the euros however (Very likely this will depend on his performace at the euros).

In terms of Striker he has no idea on RVP, figures hes been asked to work with are him staying at 175k a week, so he believes thats whats on the table. Giroud is very likely! it wont however involve a deal with chamack going the other way, never been discussed with Montpellier. The trasfer fee hasnt been arranged but they seem convinced hell sign for between 60-65k a week regardless of RVP staying and a fee involving anything up to 14million looks likely.

M'villa seems strange even inside the club, Rennes have accepted 20Mil Euros but its the player who has been stalling. Any contract calculations have been made with the strict condition that Diaby leaves in the summer. My source has no idea on this capoue bloke or any other CDM for that matter. And Song leaving hasnt been mentioned either.

Hoilett remains very possible but this seems to be dependant on a club taking Miyachi on loan (Southampton have had conversations) and his wage demands, as a potential second string player it looks like conversation involve a 35-40k a week deal but this hasnt been agreed and it seems like he has holding out for offers from abroad. Compensation will be 2.5-3 million, this is pretty much set by some calculation they use for compensation payments and will be payabale by any club getting him, although its apperently slightly less if he goes abroad.

Moving on to CB. Djorou has been given permission to leave however no club has come in for him as yet. He is on a fairly low wage which means potential replacements are limited. Vertonghen was a possability but Arsenals and Ajaxs valuation differed so much this wasnt taken any further. M'biwa looks the most likely at the moment with a fee likely to be in the region of £8mil on a four year deal. Contract wise it looks as if theres little extra on top of Djorous current wages so 35-40k max. Kyle Bartley is someone who may make the step up to the first team if a cheap replacement can not be found.

LB looks like its more important than we thought, no names known but it definitely looks like a backup LB will be brought in. RB position looks quiet, no names heard and very little work done regarding this other than Jenkinson going on loan, this was done as a season long loan with 0-20% wages, which apperently suggests a championship or lower league club (this was a couple of months ago).

GK is another quiet area, Fabianski has been told he can leave IF a club comes in for him, same with Mannone. Talks of Gordon seem well wide of the mark! An 'experienced keeper to challenge sir Chez' is also out of the pictutre. Butland is the only name that hes heard and this is depenmdant on LF AND VM leaving and was discussed way before he England call up.

Other than that Bordeux havent made contact with Arsenal regarding Chamack although he has made it clear this is his preffered destination. Zenit seem keen on keeping Arshavin and looks like differences on the fee will be sorted. Ramsey leaving has not been contemplated (on loan or permanantly), he does have contact with a union for sports pyschology though but this seems like its a formality due to the late Gary Speed and nothing more. Doumbia seems like utter tabloid garbage, never been mentioned in an Arsenal shirt same as Lewandowski.

I appreciate its not a lot of information at this stage in the season, but its just what I have been told. Im sure a lot of fans are the same as me and do not believe for 1 second that we have 3/4 deals already tied up.

Ill post again as soon as im aware of any information but be warned its not going to be the glamarous posts that ive read on here before, transfer dealings seem a lot more complicated then I thought!

Man some people have really time, lol. As soon he said Hoilett I knew he talked b****cks. Hoilett is heading to Gladbach in Germany!! Affelay staying at barca!

Thank you for some realistic comments/evaluations. much appreciated..

Bulls**t for numerous reasons ... Firstly m'biwa like younes belhanda has stated that he will stay at montpellier til next season at least so they can play champions league football with their home club a 'dream' of both of theirs. Secondly Hoilett is in Germany hammering out a deal to sign for borussia monchenglabach. Thirdly Rennes released a statement recently saying 2 major European clubs had made just enquiries on m'vila . The Gotze bid was actually in August and was about 25 million plus add ons. Honestly i dont know why you bother put up nonsense ...if your friend was an accountant at Arsenal surely hed only be working on one deal not them all?

Actually, Mbiwa only has a year left on his contract, so unless he signs an extension, it is very likely that he will be leaving this summer.

If true - fair play for sharing. If not you are possibly the saddest person on the face of the earth!

Belhanda is moroccan so how is Montpelier a in France his home club come on think about it {Ed002's Note - He was French born and must have been at Montpellier for 10 years.}

It was the 175k a week that confirmed it as nonsense to me. We could offer 10 million a week and he will still leave

Paul - Rochester

^^^
Mertesacker said he was staying at werder...two days later he had is medical for arsenal.
1732

...Having said that, This does sound a bit facetious you may be right however the the output in the media is opposite to yours.
1732

Thought I would get a lot of comments like this. I made it pretty clear that none of these deals were done and have no knowledge on what other clubs are doing with players we are looking at. When a player his signed his transfer fee, signing on fee, agent fee and non conditional add ons are amortized (split) over the length of his contract on the income statement. Therefore a team will look at the cost over the 4/5 years going forward this is where the information has come from. Please just take this for what it is, they're not done deals but the figures that are involved in discussions with our targets, given the source of the information I have no idea on what other clubs are doing

J

Arsenal are still a joke!wenger you need a gaolkeeper !!! Guys I believe this guy am posting this today 12th and the olivier girou striker deal is on the news , for the rb position I think we have kocielneh and even song its just that wenger isn't as creative as farguson because even last with arsenal team farguson could have won the league so is to LB position vamalan can fill in for the midfield I expect us spend 20m strootmahn and he is Ideal for us than m'vila we've got song, forward I think with podolski adding to RVP and bendtnar theo , alex oxlade, javinio even podolski can play wide this olivier guy aswell wenger get ceaser from inter and strooman or fellani! Hevy
