    Nah Almunia is solid now, really we could do with a solid defensive Midfielder. Denilson is good but not experienced enough yet :D

    Why settle for solid veterans like Lehmann and Almunia? Why doesn't Wenger go after GK's like he does young attacking midfielders?

    Maybe he cannot spot the talent as well with a 'keeper.

    I don't know. He is 16 years old. Too young if you ask me. ;)

    I say let the kid develop a little more.

    Where else than with one of the best managers in the world? (Fabregas, Walcott, Bentley, Vela)

    Sure, but with young kids like him it's more like shooting in the dark. But I hope he turns out to be a great player.

    Hopefully. Rumours like these are usually true - Who would make this up?

    I like the rumor summaries, speeds! :)

    Really nice rumors going around and I'd love to see Melo at the club--Even though I don't know anything about him. Good to see Sagna and Fabregas pledge their allegiance and hopefully Eboue will finally leave.

    - Adebayor drawing interest from AC Milan
    - Arsenal has shown interest in Marouane Chamakh (Bordeaux) to replace Adebayor
    - Thomas Vermaelen (Ajax) expected to sign four-year contract with club supposing he passes a medical examination by Arsenal staff today
    - still unsigned Robin Van Persie drawing interest from Manchester United (lol, yeah right)
    - Karim Benzema (Lyon), who Arsenal had interest in, probably won't leave France this summer
    - Eboue does not want to be transferred to Italy and will fight to stay with Arsenal, for now
    - Sebastien Bassong (Newcastle) will cost Arsenal no less than 10-million should they pull the trigger on a deal for the defender

    Pfft, 10 million to a relegated team? No thanks.

    Arsenal also interested in Lorik Cana (from Marseille), if they were to get him, I'd be an Arsenal fan. :)

    That'd be a good signing.


    Looks like Man City are bidding 12-million for Toure.

    One time Arsenal target David Villa is unlikely to remain with Valencia, but will likely sign with Barca or Real Madrid rather than move to England, according to national teammate Torres.

    Letting Toure leave would be a very bad idea.
