    - Real Madrid are interested in Gael Clichy next summer and the rumoured bid is £16m.
    - Barcelona sporting director Txiki Begiristain believes Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas will end up at the Nou Camp one day, stating “He’s a player who fits the Barca profile, and one day he will end up at the Camp Nou”. Seems this never-ending barrage should amount to tapping-up Fabregas and therefore be something punishable by FIFA, but if something hasn't happened by now it probably won't ever.
    - American businessman Stan Kroenke still owes Arsenal board members £50m despite edging closer to taking full control of the club.

    - Arsenal is keen on unhappy Manchester City defender Micah Richards for £15m. Not really a fan, personally.

    Manchester City are ready to join the race to sign Arsenal midfielder Cesc Fabregas, who is also on Barcelona and Real Madrid's wish list.

    I lol'd all over my desk.

    - Arsenal is interested in Stéphane Sessegnon (PSG), a Benin midfielder.
    - Arsenal continues to target tall striker Stefan Kiessling (Bayer Leverkusen).
    - Arsenal will easily fend off a £45m bid from Manchester City for skipper Cesc Fabregas; Real Madrid has joined Barcelona in the chase for Arsenal's midfield prodigy.
    - Atletico Madrid are preparing a £9m bid for Emmanuel Eboue.

    - Atletico Madrid can't help but continue to express interest in Emmanuel Eboue, so they could be headed towards a tapping up penalty.
    - Sevilla is going to fight to woo Fran Merida, who could want to showcase himself more with another team.

    I wouldn't mind getting rid of those two in question. Merida is a great talent, but we are pretty packed in that department. If we get a bid for 5m or more, that would be a good sell.

    With Eboue, I wouldn't really mind to see him leave, but I think we should still keep on to him. He does a lot of things for us "behind the scenes" no matter how goofy he is. Again, I would expect at least 9m for him as he is so versatile.

    - The Gunners are keen on Yacine Brahimi (Clermont via Rennes), a 19-year old French striker with a lack of experience.
    - Emmanuel Eboue is uninterested in a move to Atletico Madrid, who have been inquiring about him lately.

    - Gunners' manager Arsene Wenger has not given up hope of signing Sunderland midfielder Lorik Cana. Reports have the Albanian's price tag at £11m, up from the £5m the Cats paid Marseilles this summer. Cana was named Sunderland's captain but supposedly that doesn't mean he is untouchable.
    - Arsene Wenger is keeping tabs on Ajax defender Gregory van der Wiel. His price is reportedly £7m.

    - Arsenal's interest in Italian national Mario Balotelli is persisting. He is reportedly rated at £20m but a loan to Arsenal could happen considering Inter's forward depth.
    - Manager Arsene Wenger is also understood to be keen on Ajax's 21-year-old defender Gregory van der Wiel.
    - The Gunners are also tracking Belgian 18-year-old midfielder Eden Hazard, who currently plays for French club Lille.
    - The woeful New York Red Bulls of MLS are interested in signing Thierry Henry with a truckload of cash. Considering how Beckham's career in MLS has gone, he might be well advised to turn them away.

    To be fair to the MLS here, Beckham has ruined Beckham's MLS career. Blanco and Schelotto have been more successful in MLS because they have remained dedicated to their clubs. I have a feeling Henry would be the same way as his French career would likely be done by then.
