Arsenal FC Team Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread

Diaby's performance coming on as sub last night went down well in France.

Sagna however was criticized for not going forward enough

eZe^

Put Cesc and Villa into my Barca squad in Fifa 10 for the craic - They were absolute boss.



(For the record I don't think he'll be leaving this season either)

RVP PL Top goalscorer next season lads yeah ?

Would everyone be happy to have Cesc for one more season and then let him go?

I don't think anyone here could possibly put a new spin on that, its been talked and talked and talked about for the last two weeks solid and I'm pretty sick of the whole thing anyway.

What can i get on him being injured before Holland go out?

Mr Alan

i'm a huge fan of Van Persie, but he's unlikely to be top scorer at the world cup to be fair.

Galvasean

At 25/1 it's a decent bet. Although i'd say its gonna be Villa.

Not for Holland....but 25/1 on he'll be out first 6 months of the domestic....I put a cool 100k on.

Morf

25/1? They're giving money away!

So we're linked half of the madrid team from Joses supposed great purge. Van der Faart and diarra are the main ones, would'nt mind the other diarra(ex lyon guy).

Frisbee

Higuain *drools*

I know we don't need another striker but Higuain is awesome.

keano_afc

Would love Higuain, he is class. If we sell Fab I think van der Vaart would be a good option.

Will we have anyone signed before June 11 I wonder...

According to Wenger he wants all our signings done before then so I'd like to start hearing rumblings in the next week...

Unless of course he's done one of his sneaky ninja transfers.

I have a feeling there is a long summer of Fabregas willl he wont he rumours ahead of us and alot of the transfers depend on if he stays or not.

I don't think so, if he doesn't go before the World Cup I think he will stay for another season at least.

As it doesn't look likely that Barcelona are going to make an offer that will make the Board reconsider their decision that Cesc is not available for transfer I am fairly confident that he will be an Arsenal player next season and being the professional that he has proven himself to be he will give his all for the team next season.

So an average Arsenal summer then.

I hope your right! I do agree that if he doesnt go, he will be professional about it and give his all next season.

It wouldnt be summer time without it!

Pepe LeFrits

But Barcelona presidential candidate Marc Ingla insists Cesc Fabregas will move to the Nou Camp this summer.

Ingla said: “Cesc will be a Barcelona player, yes, yes. The money is not as important as his dream because he wants to return to Barcelona and it’s a dream for our fans.

“Arsenal are a model club and to maintain good relations we will try to agree a good price. Of course Barcelona wants to complete a quick deal.

“I believe that Cesc’s time at Arsenal has finished, they have benefited from him and now we hope to reach agreement.”

Pompous ****ing arseholes.

I'll gladly take a ban for saying that, because it had to be said.

To think I used to actually admire Barca's fan-ownership setup.

AnCapaillMor

You know what if he was'nt in the pepsi or pringles ads, barca would'nt be after him so much.

TheSpecialOne

When is Wenger going to buy a Goalkeeper?..If we go into this season with the two inept planks that we have were screwed!Sort It Arsene!

Arsenal1986

Hugo Rodalegga has said Arsenal have made a bid for him. Dunno how d feel about that, if cheap enough then okay but cant see him becoming a superstar.

The only problem that may arise with that though is that if Fabregas is sold, it was reported that any deal mightnt happen until after the presidential elections at Barca which was either 13th June or 13th july cant remember which, either way the World Cup would've started

I'd love Arsene to say - "thats complete b*llox Id never sign a player like Rodalegga"

Pepe LeFrits

I saw this on Arsenal-Mania, haven't seen it anywhere more official though, but...

Bendtner said: My greatest ever dream is to play for the two biggest clubs in Spain…I think it is possible, and I know that I will go to the one that suits me the best.”

Bendtner added: “To be a fantastic player, one must prove that you can score goals. Not just over a season – but always.”

“I have not won anything yet, and I have not been top-scorer. But when I am people will be talking about myself in a different way.

“I hope that I will be a fantastic football player and that everyone will talk about me as one of the best strikers in the world.”

Maybe we should let him dream at Wigan and take Rodellega in a swap.

Seriously, if he said that and it's current then he should be fined a months wages. What kind of ****ing moron would come out with that now? The club should clamp down hard on this sort of thing.

TheTosh

Bendtner always thought highly of himself but as far as him playing for Real or Barca, the only way that will ever happen is when Bendtner himself sticks on fifa and transfers himself to either one of them.

Agree 100%. Just no way to know if any of this garbage is true though. And it would create an aura of distrust if Arsene started questioning all the players about any quotes relating to them.

Is that a hint, her moderatorness?

FUNKY LOVER

if this is true from bendter,im seriously getting sick of players using arsenal as a stepping stone to spain,maybe we need some english players,might stay loyal to us.

I'd love it if Barca somehow went bankrupt, Such a bunch of cocky, ignorant clowns.

arseblog's update today is great, by the way.

Nah like madrid they'll never go bankrupt, noone will ever call them on the loans.

You wouldnt know, economic enviroment over in Spain isnt what it was in recent years. they are even more screwed than we are - 20% unemployment etc,finding it hard to get buyers for govt bonds on the markets etc. Could see this being the last summer of big spending in Spain for a long time.

AnCapaillMor

If there was 60% unemployment in spain, and at the same time a big player left madrid or barca, the riots would be over the player leaving and not the ar$e falling out of the economy. We like our football but its religion there.

SDTimeout

What happens in greece will affect spain as they are next in the pecking order to get some recalled loans for.

He said the same thing years ago, this is like Cesc saying I'll play for Barcelona one day. Hes not saying he wants to leave right now just that at some stage in his career he wants to play for either Barca or Real. Comments like these I take with a pinch of salt, think people of overacting a little, and no way swap for Rodagella!
