l'Equipe is reporting that Arsene wants Sessegnon but Sunderland want €17 million for him,

the daily mail & a few other's are saying wenger wants vorm to give competition to szczesny. With almunia leaving on a free as his contracts up & fabianski looking to move for first team football - either on loan or permanent

Bendy boots won't be bought by Sunderland, think he might br around next year

There has been a Enquiry made about his availability and about him maybe having a 10mill buy-out clause. ( But I wouldn't look to much into the buy-out clause. )

The main problem is that he's been scouted at Real Madrid........

batistuta9 · 09-05-2012 11:06am

biglia's a DM as well though going by the majority of info about him

Next season:

Szch
Sagna - Verm-Kos-Gibbs

Coq - Song - M'Vila - Biglia - Frimpong

RVP

That should solve the defensive worries.

A 5 man 5-DM/Holding midfielder line up must surely be a world first.

emergingstar · 09-05-2012 1:05pm

Alot of talk that arsenal not interested in mvila
Don't believe it for a second think it will go through next week

Galvasean · 09-05-2012 1:20pm

I read that we will have 2 new signings confirmed by Monday on account that they depend on us guaranteeing Champions League football next season.

keano_afc · 09-05-2012 1:33pm

Lot of sources on Twitter saying the M'Vila deal was just speculation really.

Classic Twitter. Can't believe anything unless the club confirm these days, especially Arsenal.

This time next week we should have a better idea how ambitious the club is.

Stats are pretty poor. Walcott's got about as many assists this season as he has in his whole career.

He's around a year younger than Walcott; only played twice at underage level for France; never heard of him; no one else linked with him.

Pass.

Stats are misleading, he was playing as a DM for the first two seasons so this season was he's first full campaign in an attacking role, and he has scored 13 goals.

As the lads said already in this thread; forgive me if I set more store with the opinion of Arsene Wenger

Who would the 3rd player be if we're announcing 2 more on Monday? :eek:

Can't credit the Vorm link either, wouldn't make any sense.

Podolski in.

Grant Holt Monday

Scott Dann Monday

RVP out Tuesday

4th place for Champions League not good enough when Chelsea win on 19th.

I commit self-harm on 20th.

Didn't he say he would never play for us again? With an attitude like that I can't see him playing for us again.

Perhaps a season on glamorous Wearside has focused his mind a little bit.

I'm sure he thought he'd be fighting off the Champions League clubs.

Instead it was..er.... Sunderland.

Knowing Bendy Boots he's probably convinved he got Sunderland 44 of there 45 points and Barcelona are tracking him

I think this might be a reason to keep him. I'd like to keep him for another season and see how it turns out.

Marty McFly · 09-05-2012 2:39pm

Me personally id never take bendy boots back, was never a fan of his ego or of him as a player on the pitch. Good riddance id say.

Now I know he did score some vital goals for us at times, but he was a player anytime i saw coming on my head was in my hands thinking no not this tool.

maximoose · 09-05-2012 2:46pm

Is Bendtner's ego real or one of the biggest myths in football at the minute? Anytime he is mentioned it's always the next thing said!

I think I remember an interview with him on Football Focus or something and he said he was very badly misquoted as saying something along the lines of "I'm as good as Pele/Maradona/Messi/etc" and that's where this all started

....He is guff though :pac:

AnCapaillMor · 09-05-2012 2:48pm

He's Zlatan with a quarter of the talent.

KaiserGunner · 09-05-2012 2:54pm

Looks like the Dennis the Menace jersey may actually be a reality, looks pretty official in this picture anyway. Dont understand the colour scheme with this jersey, would be more suitable as a third kit.

Heres a nice video, of Serge Gnarby been hearing a lot about him there seem to be a lot of high hopes for him at the club

On there new away jersey I like it I must admit, nice than the home one for me.

I've been watching him a lot recently and he looks beast.......

He's also meant to be one of the fastest in his age group.

I see from that vid that the walking it into the net thing starts at a young age anyway.

Has anyone read "Arsenal: The Making of a Modern Superclub"? Recommend it to any Arsenal Fans to have a read of it.

jonneymendoza · 09-05-2012 7:11pm

seen this?

LOL

AnCapaillMor · 09-05-2012 7:52pm

Good old ebway, pity he was so unpredictable on the pitch.

keano_afc · 09-05-2012 7:53pm

Eboue has about 3 Twitter accounts, probably all fake.

batistuta9 · 09-05-2012 8:22pm

that eboue tweet actually make arsenal sound bad too if you think about it

Yep, great book, a "must read" for any Arsenal fan in my opinion. Gives a good picture of the boardroom wranglings. It left me feeling a bit annoyed at the treatment of David Dein, the board screwed up big time by pushing him out.

Yes it is a superb read for any Arsenal fan. So much interesting background information eg: how we tried to get Ronaldo but didn't have the cash and how Spurs had first option on Bergkamp but said no.

Loving the Dennis the Menace jersey. I'll definitely buy that as I don't really care for the home one. That said, I don't see the point in our away kit being half red!

edit: I do see the point and it's very cynical. They will no doubt have a yellow/blue/green 3rd jersey to wear at Old Trafford, Anfield etc.

Marty McFly · 10-05-2012 12:26am

Happy 42nd birthday Dennis Bergkamp always an Arsenal legend.

Quality.

Thats up there with Blackburn saying 'Zidane? no need, we have Tim Sherwood'.

Spurs signed Chris Armstorng for the same sum at the same time as we signed Dennis.

Rofl.

Jonney, what you think of the new kits?

jonneymendoza · 10-05-2012 12:18pm

New kit is awsome. buying

Should see a marked improvement in how Arsenal operate defensively. Weren't people calling for Bould to be involved in the 1st team setup after the 4-4 draw with Blackburn?

pat rice was defender, no one ever mentions this. it's just bring back adams, keown, bould etc. they'll sort the defence out, will they make much of a difference?
