time to invest in a diaby kit mate. he'll always be at arsenal...

Until he finally has a breakout season and signs for Man City.

[glenferry23]

henry would be welcome at any stage. even when he's 45, he's still better back up than chamakh

cazorla to arsenal rumours are growing. some reports suggest he's already agreed to terms, however we need to seal the deal with malaga still. hoping this one comes true, with rosicky out with another achilles injury, this would be a brilliant signing

 

[Latro]

Cazorla has withdrawn a complaint to the Spanish FA about not being paid his wages. Doubt he is sold unless he forces Malaga to sell.

 

[Benno_900]

2-1 win against Malaysia XI last night

1-0 down at Half Time
Two late goals from Eisfeld and Aneke

First Half team: Mannone, Jenkinson, Djourou, Vermaelen, Gibbs, Diaby, Coquelin, Arteta, Santos, Chamakh, Gervinho

Second Half team: Mannone, Yennaris, Bartley, Miquel, Eastmond, Song, Miyaichi, Oxlade-Chamberlain, Walcott (Eisfeld), Afobe, Aneke

 

[Benno_900]

Giroud will wear #12

Podolski TBD (probably waiting on #10)

 

[Starlin Castro]

Cazorla hasn't gone on the Malaga pre-season trip to Venezuela, sounds promising.

 

[Cruyff14]

Giroud should have taken the 9.

 

[Benno_900]

Park is still at the club.

Oh, and Szczesny has taken #1. Northalives would be thrilled.

 

[glenferry23]

Don't incite him benno....

When will this RvP stuff be sorted? Its cesc/nasri all over again.

 

[Benno_900]

So apparently we've just gone and signed Nuri Sahin on loan ...

 

[Starlin Castro]

Nuri Sahin, oh my!

 

[Starlin Castro]

Hope there is a future fee clause in the contract.

 

[glenferry23]

wow that's come out of nowhere! sahin hey? interesting....

 

[Cruyff14]

Not confirmed yet.

 

[Latro]

Wenger has denied any signing being made today.

 

[Benno_900]

It was up on the Marca website (Madrid paper) but they've deleted the article since.

They must've gone early.

 

[glenferry23]

Marca also have a long track record of talking sh*t

 

[Hlebalicious]

Anyone watch any of the game vs City this morning? I watched the first 40mins and we didn't play too poorly (then Zabaleta scored...). Gervinho's decision making and final ball continues to frustrate me though.

 

[Benno_900]

I watched from the 25th min onwards.

I thought we were dominant but we were playing a lot more senior players than City in the first hour. City just got 2 clinical goals on the counter. And Vermaelen kept trying to play offside and getting it wrong.

Chamberlain rifled a shot that came off both posts. Other than that, the whole second half was our kids taking pot shots with City parking the bus.

Can't take much out of it.

Only when it's Pro-Madrid. I don't see why they'd bother making that up.

The original article claimed: a season long loan with no option to buy. Originally was supposed to go to Tottenham on loan as part of the Modric deal but Sahin is not keen on playing for them. Mourinho trying to make room for Modric.

Oh well, probably got my hopes up for nothing.

 

[Cruyff14]

Apparently we are signing at least two more players, maybe more depending on how many leave.

Also, off to Europe today for 6 weeks. My posting will obviously drop but I'll still jump on when I can. I'll try and see the Emirates.

Here's to a successful season

Have a good trip mate, your arrival in Europe should occur just as Santi signs for us (lots of rumours to be on Monday/Tuesday UK time)

 

[glenferry23]

enjoy the trip mate

 

[Benno_900]

Wilshere ruled out until October. Time to stop pinning our hopes on him and sign some quality mids.

And maybe a new medical team.

so february 2013 it is then

more rumours surfacing that cazorla will be wrapped up over the next few days, as castro said above. interestingly the rumours suggest that BOTH sahin AND cazorla will be signed (i thought it was one or the other). but hey that would be fantastic news if it eventuated.

rosicky's has done his achilles that puts him out for 2 months, and with wilshere out (and diaby to get injured with his first kick) we really need to shore up the midfield.
