Arsenal Transfer Rumours And General Chat

Ha, he used the Cruyff turn against the Dutch on their home patch! Delicious.

Good news is that Eduardo seems to be making great progress with his recovery. Got this from another Arsenal forum, its translated from a croatian site:

- I feel fantastic, my recovery is going great. My leg doesn't hurt any more. Not even a little bit, it's as if it wasn't even broken. My agony is coming to an end, even before I could even think it could happen, it's like a miracle recovery. I train every day, I'm doing stuff all day. Also, I train normally in the gym. Physically I feel great. And, I'm training with the ball as well! The foot that was broken functions great. Of course, I don't kick the ball, I must stay careful.

- I'm coming back to Europe at the beginning of August, maybe even late July. The doctors say I'll be completely ready to get back to football then. I hope so as well, because I feel so god that I think I could play against Austria in Vienna. Of course, that's not true, but I'm saying that to try and describe the state of my health and my great mood.

- I bought the biggest TV in Brazil. I'm going to watch the games and cheer and send messages to congratulate the guys. I'll be playing together with them, I'm a part of that beautiful national team, I feel like I'm with them in Austria.

Superb. A fully fit strike force at the start of next season, I wonder...?

I don't think Arsene will rush him back to be honest. Still good to see he is doing well.

Mossy Monk · 31-05-2008 01:36AM

I agree. The start of the season is too soon imo. Also great assist by Bendtner.

wandatowell · 31-05-2008 03:52PM

A fully fit strike force would be great, just read that van Persie is gonna miss out on the Euro Championships with that thigh injury,

Jesus we are almost turning into Newcastle with our players getting stupid injuries

vincenzo1975 · 31-05-2008 03:56PM

Great to see Eduardo on his way back, hopefully Van persie comes through the Euro's unscathed.

Hope we get a centre half and two strong midfielders in.

Would Richard dunne be a good edition, I think he has finally got most of the kinks out of his game, if he can keep the weight off, I think he would be a great addition, in the Martin keown Mould.

Galvasean · 01-06-2008 12:02PM

Wouldn't mind if RvP missed out on Euro2008, if it meant he recovered in time for the Prem season.

Fuzzy_Dunlop · 01-06-2008 12:06PM

I'd wager that Eduardo will be fit before RvP and Rosicky at this stage.

[Edit]- Wait Van Persie isn't out for the tournament, just the friendly tonight

van Persie himself says that he's fit, they just aren't rushing him back.

Royale with Cheese · 01-06-2008 03:23PM

If Van Persie's not playing then of the current first XI, only Fabregas and Gallas will be at Euro 2008. Nasri too if we want to get ahead of ourselves.

Obviously the players will be very disappointed not to be there, but it's good news for Arsenal. Hopefully Ronaldo and a few others will come back crocked.

Interesting...number of posts in forum since Saturday:

United 647
Liverpool 373
Arsenal 68

No real surprises there, I suppose...is this a good guide for how support may be spread throughout Ireland, or would the Pool be closer to United?

Very hard to say based on those numbers. Age profile would need to be considered. I'd guess that united would be more popular than Liverpool and Arsenal amongst fans in early 20s and late teens (see Xavi's survey a few months ago). As this is the typical age of most boards users the united forum would be over represented relative to the population fan base. Nationally I'd say Liverpool would be way closer to united than that table but still a little behind.

Since united won a double that'll also boost numbers on their forum. Just my 2 cents.

apart from the swiss boys as well. not sure if Djourou will play though, Senderos will.

Just looking forward to a fit squad at the end of summer, but can we take chances that these players can stay fit next season? I hope Arsene is looking into a replacment for Rosicky just in case.

Hopefully Ronaldo will come back in a REal madrid shirt heh heh. Did you hear fergusons rant about sitting him in the stand, seriously rattled.

Galvasean · 01-06-2008 04:54PM

Kind of ironic him complaining about Madrid's transfer methods. He's known for tapping up himself.

There were one or two "cease and desist" warnings from Porto alright, if I remember correctly

Used send phil mexes a christmas card every year. Altho i hope someone does charge madrid, united have ronaldo, we'd vieira, henry, reyes and cesc.

Actually i think there was suspiciousness about Flamini's transfer (to Arsenal) too.

I don't understand.

We had madrid use the same tactics on vieira,henry, cesc, reyes. They use marca, perez\calferon coming out saying i would'nt mind if he signed, we even had the sscummy radio interview with reyes(probably was'nt real). I'd love if uefa charged them, possible transfer embargo. Everyone taps up, noones caught, but i just dislike the way Real and barca go about it.

Beginning to worry about this Nasri deal.

I'm thinking that he might be a starter for France in the Euro Championship.

Is it possible that his agent could be trying to stall it as his transfer fee and wages will skyrocket on the back of a good championship.

I can see it now.

'Nasri will sign, Nasri will sign' ... for the next fortnight.

And then ... 'It's only two weeks to Euro 2008 and he doesn't want any distractions during his preparations ... but he wants to be an Arsenal player'

I'm not so thrilled that I was right about this but I predicted that we'd win the quadruple in my following post.

Maybe he'll sign and maybe he won't. I still think Arsne will make some good signings this summer. Either players at the euros who are being overlooked (like Gilberto after the world cup) or players not at the Euros that no-ones looking at cause they're all following the national teams.

Evil_Clown · 03-06-2008 03:08PM

It looks like Arsenal are in for Ramsey along with United
It's either us or Liverpool and most sites seem to think Arsenal are the second club Cardiff have accepted an offer from.
ManU still have the advantage I reckon with the whole Ryan Giggs thing and the fact they are willing to loan him back to Cardiff

Really hope he makes a full recovery.
Was a horrific injury, but Cisse suffered something similar and came back as
good (or bad) as ever.
Will be like singing a new player for Arsenal

Great to see RVP is hungry for action, great attitude, hopefully he will roar into next years prem....

An outsider for top goalscorer maybe>?

Pepe LeFrits · 03-06-2008 09:44PM

The exact same stuff was said about him last season. Hopefully that might happen, but...

I suppose the one thing you could note as a reason for optimism with regards to his fitness is that his injuries seem to be completely unrelated; he hasn't got dodgy knees or anything.

injuries don't have to appear in the same spot for them to be related. I think when someone gets injuries as much as RVP there's something wrong with the mental state, they way they carry themselves perhaps, that invites injuries.

Galvasean · 04-06-2008 11:41AM

Great news, Sagna signs new long term deal:

I agree, great news. We looked much weaker at the back once he got injured in the Chelsea game.
