@ Zeki, you can as well sell the whole team. Adebayor is good enough so also is Song. I don’t know why people keep complaining about Ade when teams like AC and Barca who are highly rated after always looking for opportunities to sign him. And as for Song, he is good just too slow. He will get better with time.

I heard he works birthday parties as a Gollumn clone in his spare-time. Mind your buisness jerk, I would rather have our former pisshead captain as a manager.

Despite AW playing down Arteta, I think there could be some life to it, as the player could see it as a road into the Spain national team.

Veloso is my dream singing.

A lot of you gooners including myself and the Prof himself, would have loved to buy the best players in the world, As he rightfully mentioned, he is a human being and does make mistakes, but for me he is the best manager we will ever have, He is a living legend, he is the man who changed the premiership forever, there was times that the premier ship was not regarded as good as Serial A and La Liga,and now we are witnessing the English PREMIER LEAGUE being the best league in the world, dominating Europe, and the prof has the biggest contribution, the man deserves the utter most respect, there is one other person who should be respected as much in the world of football and that person is Sir Alex, if it was not for these two managers the premiership would have struggled to compute with the reset of the world.

Going back to all these paper talk about the transfers, we have to analyse what the papes say and what the great man himself said as well, The papers were speculating about 3 possible signings, but from the answer the prof gave, after the barrage of questions, he categorically denied his interest Shay Given his exact words “We have not made any enquiry about Shay Given. I have a high regard for him as a player but we do not look for a goalkeeper.” with regards to Artheta “Mikel Arteta is a very good player but we have not made any enquiry about him at all” it sounds like that he either doesn’t believe they will sell or he will be too expensive.
And as for Arshavin, Arsen is interested and trying to tie that up at a reasonable price with out any complications, i, e. press interference.

“There is no progress [on Arshavin]. If there is any progress made you will be informed, I promise you. If we buy a player you will be informed.”

And finally there was a talk about Hangeland, which I believe he regards his highly, and Roy Hodgson has said ” It would be foolish to say nothing will happen to Hangeland and Bullard. All I can say is I hope nothing happens with those two.” it does sound like that arsenal are chasing and hangeland might have said he is ready to talk.
Which brings me to the final point that, as there is no fire with out any smoke, the papers were right that there was some friction between the disruptive Gallas and Toure; Arsen said that, the reason why he has not played them together is because they both are not tall enough. To me its more like one because they are not getting on and two because toure has lost his sharpness since he came back from The African cup.

so based on all the above pointes that I mentioned, we can safely deduce that, he will get two players, one to replace Cesc and another one to resolved the defence issue, On Middlefield I believe it could be Arshavin or he may surprise us, as for the defence, it will be hangeland which would be a wicked signing,

So rest assured fellow gooners, the club is in the safe hands of Sir Arsen Wenger, even though I’m not under any illusions that we are not well equipped to compute this year, with the likes of United, liverpoo and chelski.

In any case the market is inflated and has been since Abramovich burst onto the scene. His 100M activity of the summer of 2004 created this snowball effect, especially for EL clubs, where everyone is overcharging transfer fees. Do we need to spend money in January? Yes. Does it necessarily need to be alot? No. However the market dictates our spending and right now that market is bloated. We’re already talking the likes of 10M for Matuidi who is not in a winning Ligue 1 team and has no top flight experience but these are the prices being mooted. This is the kind of environment Arsene has to work in with being the only top four club that has no billionaire backing and is self-sufficiently making profit.
