    Barca;

    Alves, Pique in.

    Ronaldinho, Deco, Edmilson, Thuram out.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,008 ✭✭✭delija_sever029


    I think we already were writing a lot about those things on other threads for La liga,Calcio,Premiership and premier teams

    Saha to Arsenal apparently for £5m is the strangest one I have seen so far.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,700 ✭✭✭tricky D


    Duff completed a medical at Sundireland

    Alves in? Whats the chances of that? As a United fan I'm still hopeful he will join us.

    Wha?:eek:....oh **** i just just noticed it said strangest and not strongest!:pac: Jesus that gave me a fright.

    The credible ones for Arse so far seem to be Nasri or Ben Arfa, never know with Wenger though. And Hleb out obviously too.

    no way arsenal would be shelling out the kind of dough lyon would demand for ben arfa lads

    His first preference is to stay in Spain, then England, and seeing as Barca have offered about 25 million Id say he'll be here this summer. Never know though!

    I have my fingers tightly crossed he'll join Utd. But like you said if Barca agree a fee then he's going there, he's keen to stay in Spain.

    Ben Arfa was told he could leave for any decent offer during the season. He spent a large chunk of it on the bench and is not in Perrin's plans. He's been strongly linked with Marseille, so wouldn't be out of Arsenal's league.

    Realistically, if Arsene grows a pair and decides to spend big this summer, there is no player (looking for a new club) who is out of arenals league. It must get frustrating every now and then for gunners to constantly see their side missing out on gems because of conservatism in the transfer market.

    Aquilani to Arsenal rumoured as well.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,067 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Setanta Sports reported that Liverpool have signed Philip Degan on a free.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,008 ✭✭✭delija_sever029

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 17,067 ✭✭✭✭Tusky


    Where he played before?

    He's only the Swiss second choice right back? He can hardly be great then.

    As would I but I remember last year that all of the papers were adamant that he was going to Juve to link up with Ranieri

    Remember seeing him in pre season matches for Arsenal and thinking what a talent he was going to be, a real pity, I was surprised when he eventually ended up in Liverpool. I can see them selling him this summer, any thoughts where he might end up?

    If he could get his head together and a good run of games he could be a very good player - he was pretty good at Birmingham before his move to Liverpool.

    If Bentley leaves Blackburn, Pennant could be a decent shout for them. Maybe Everton and Boro could be in for him too.

    What's all this about Shay Given being on his way to Arsenal?

    http://www.newsguardian.co.uk/newcastleunited/Arsenal-lining-up-move-for.4163735.jp

    Would be a dream move for Shay.

    it would be great to see how good Shay is with defenders that can actually defend infront of him.

    Can't see it myself, don't think he is much better than Almunia, we also have
    Fabianski who Wenger rates very highly, I think other areas in the team need to be strengthen, that said I still expect us to sign a keeper,but possibly a third choice keeper.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 45,630 ✭✭✭✭Mr.Nice Guy


    About two or thre years ago I reckon Shay'd be well up to the task but with his injury troubles I'm not sure if Wenger would want him.

    Have to agree with you, would have been a good signing back then.


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,517 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    Not sure if it was mentioned in another thread, but Ben Arfa's finally signed for Marseille. He'll probably be transfer-listed by Christmas though as I don't see him getting on well with Gerets.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 5,538 ✭✭✭PiE


    Huntelaar linked with Utd on Sky Sports site - just amazed to read he's 24! Thought he was much younger than that.

    Lyon later said transfer isnt completed coz of some mistake,but anyone i dont get whats going on with Lyon to sell players so easily last 2 seasons,and now even to sell one of the best to Marseille???Are they in hard financial crisis?


  • Moderators, Arts Moderators Posts: 35,517 Mod ✭✭✭✭pickarooney


    No, Ben Arfa just refused to come back to training with Lyon until they relented and sold him off. They benched him for most of last season so were cutting their losses basically.

    Ajax just broke the Dutch transfer record for some Serbian striker, I think. Unusual for them, and probably ominous for Huntelaar. So will Kees-Jan be a Nistelrooij or a Kezman?
