    I used to always worry bout these talented young players we had coming through, but that has to stop if there good enough they will force there way through no matter what

    +1 how many young players have we let go over the years that went on to join a top 4 club, off the top of my head Andy Cole(he couldn't score in a whorehouse at the time) is the only one I can think of. Remember Bentley being left go cause he couldn't get in ahead of Bergkamp and look how he panned out.

    Pennant went to Liverpool eventually - does that count? :o

    Sky Sports "understands" Song is going to Barcelona - another words making up stuff to fill in the gaps.

    And what is this with M'Vila - he sounds like another Cana, everyone has heard that Arsenal must sign him and now agree we must without seeing him play. Not saying he's bad or anything, but I actually don't know, all I know is that he seems a hot head.

    What I'm asking is has anyone actually seen him play over a period of time and can vouch that he is suited to play for Arsenal or are people just jumping on the bandwagon cos the media are linking him with us?

    he's widely regarded as one of the best young players in europe in his position, and by widely regarded i don't mean by people on an internet forum, he's not a bandwagon.

    Jermaine Pennant was widely regarded too, so was Francis Jeffers - I'm not having a pop at all, just saying I'm skeptical to some guys we're linked with. He could be the dog's b00lix for all I know - maybe I'm on Twitter too much and am too cynical now :o

    With **** like this Sky always has two sources one that says he is staying with a new contract(yesterday) and the other saying he is leaving, that way they always are in the know

    he's 22 and already played 22 games for France - I don't think either of your examples got close to that for their national team. He won't provide the assists Song did last year but with the strengthening already done up front he won't need to. Good passer, good reader of the game and will provide great protection for the defence. I'd hate to lose Song but this guy would soften the blow. I thought Arsene had gone off him though ?

    Don't believe that at all I'd expect it to be 15m if there was part exchange, but don't believe it

    yeah maybe he could end up doing shít in the PL, anyone could but i don't think he will

    but he's being linked to tottenham a lot now, some saying they've made a bid

    the numbers are irrelevant at the minute

    the important thing if true is that the guy is over having talks - surely the could say no over the phone

    You think MON would risk Bramble? I think it'll be a slow enough game but I wouldn't underestimate Sunderland either. First game of the season and we pretty much are unaware as to who's going to line out for us because of incoming international fixtures. But I'd presume, if RVP isn't shipped out;

    My first preference is in brackets
    Szczęsny

    (Yennaris)/Jenkinson Koscielny Vermaelen Gibbs

    Song

    Arteta Ramsey

    Walcott (RVP)/Podolski Gervinho


    Podolski's not playing an international so He'll prob have a good chance of playing, and was on fire at the weekend. I've been impressed by Yennaris in the pre-season. He provides good cover and has a nice dribble so he can cut wide or inside if given the chance. Jenkinson has a mean cross but with Walcott on I think Yennaris would provide more options.

    Well Kilgallon should be in ahead of Bramble, but there were talks he'd picked up a knock in training the other day. Fingers crossed he'll be fit enough to play because I actually rate him and is a much better option than Bramble.

    Like yourselves it's hard to predict what way we will line up really with the internationals during the week and the possibility of transfer movement in or out during the week.

    We do have a decent record against you of late and the games we have lost have only been by the odd goal for the last few seasons, so hopefully we can keep it tight again. I'd be over the moon with a draw, but either way if there's no transfers in this week it'll be a backs to the wall job for us for the 90 minutes I reckon.

    It's not the money I don't believe it's the VP in London and the Song on way to Barcelona

    Surely song is worth more to Arsenal than £15million.

    You lot are pretty crap at this negotiating lark.

    Fair assessment. I think the game on Sunday will be an exciting one. Sunderland will be a great team to play as we'll be under pressure and it'll be great to see how our new guys do, if they get game time. Also, I'm looking forward to McLean lining out. He'll be trouble no doubt. Sessegnon's definitely worth a punt as well. Tight marking and hard tackles will decide the tempo of the game I think.

    As I said in the Summer transfer thread; if Song goes for less than £25m it'll leave a very sour taste in my mouth about this summer. It be an act of absolute and utter bolloxology from the board.

    Don't worry, he's going nowhere. This talk is all rubbish and a bit of banter i'd say.

    All this talk of Song is a bit strange.


    IF Arsenal want to keep him then why even bother entertaining negotiations with Barcelona over a deal?

    I think if we are negotiating then its probably because Arsene wants rid of him


    I dunno.
