Cesc is a very clear player, I don't thing he will join barcelona as a reserve, and he don't want jeoperdise his career, His former team Helb regret leaving Arsenal moving from diferent teams, Clichy very wise changing his mine staying at Arsenal, learning from Helb.

i am a man united fan and i think we look too ordinary to win any trophy this season.i hope sir alex is only bluffing when he says he done signing new players,that can't happen we look too vulnerable,what do you think?

A lot have been heard about players linked to Man City. The lists are long, but they will not succeed in signing any biggies, maybe next season.

Wenger has to spent in order to keep the spirits high and Arsenal will definitely win this season's Premier League if he signs a new world class striker.

Arsenal are in dire need of a striker. We know for sure that Wenger isn't going to sign Maroune Chamakh this january for 10million when he can have him for free in the summer considering we know the man's shwredness in spending. He would rather keep the money and split it on chamakhs wages and signing another midfielder in the summer. I think Yoann Gourcuff would be more than ideal with his short passing games which is in tandem with wengers philosophy and that would be an incentive to convince chamakh to sign for arsenal and not westham or sunderland. He could sell Senderos to Everton who need a defender desperately and use the proceeds to get himself a worldclass striker who would finish off anything in front of goal as he would never run short of supply from cesc, arshavin, denilson etc. Edin Dzeko is a good all round finisher with a deadly presence in the air. There are a lot of strikers in this world who would love to come to arsenal.

Another transfer window, more Franck Ribery talk. I love watching the guy play, but when's someone going to question a team wanting to pay 60MM euro for the guy when he's hurt 70% of the time? I'd love to have Ribery on Arsenal but he's hurt more than Rosicky.

i hope wenger buys... i do trust his judgement but i also think we need a good striker and perhaps even backup in the defense to win the title... and we can..

veloso to spurs? no no no... i like that guy... and he cant go over to the enemy...atleast not those tiny tots!
