I'd kind of prefer Downing to stay another year but I simply wouldn't be able to say no £20m, presuming it'd be reinvested (which it would be).N'Zogbia's about, we've young Marc and hewhoshallnotbecalled 'Big 'Eck' is gonna give Ireland another go.Downing's one of those players you really don't rate until you see him every week. He does his work in the deeper areas, starts the attacks despite being a wide man. His pace is underrated and he's got a good shot on him. Complete faggot though, never makes a tackle, at times he's not direct enough (although that'd probably suit Arsenal) and his decision making is very poor (gets into so many good positions and then f*cks it up).
Benfica are showing interest in Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner who has already been linked with Fulham and Bundesliga duo Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.However, none of the clubs are willing to match the Gunners valuation of £12m leaving the door open for the Portuguese side to launch a new bid.Bendtner's father Thomas says Dortmund are keen but it is understood they believe the 23-year-old to be worth £7million.Sporting Lisbon were also linked but denied making contact yet now their rivals Benfica are weighing up a move to replace Oscar Cardozo who is wanted by Dinamo Kiev.Meanwhile, the Cottagers are showing interest in Barcelona winger Jeffren Suarez but Barca want around £7million for the player who refused to join Udinese last week.Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2010902/Benfica-target-Arsenal-striker-Nicklas-Bendtner.html#ixzz1R5KQkKoi
Manchester City are ready to press ahead with a £27million double bid for Arsenal pair Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri this week.City are close to finalising a £7million deal for Clichy and will offer the Gunners the kind of deal that will be difficult to refuse if Nasri, as expected, fails to agree new terms at the Emirates.Meanwhile, Premier League champions Manchester United are still in the hunt as is new Chelsea boss Andre Villas-Boas.Nasri, a £15.8m signing from Marseille in 2008, is not due to return to London Colney until Thursday having been granted a few extra days' holiday, as have those other Arsenal players who were involved in international duty at the start of the summer.The Gunners midfielder hinted at a possible exit after admitting he is craving silverware. He said: 'With no titles under your belt, you can't be in list for Ballon D'Or. I came to England for trophies because I've not won anything in my career, apart from an Under 17 European Championship in 2004.'We already earn huge wages. The priority is to make a big career and to win titles. This is more important than everything else.Cesc Fábregas, who has been on holiday in Spain, will return with the bulk of the senior squad on Tuesday, with Barcelona still attempting to complete what they hope will be a £35m transfer back to the club.The Arsenal midfielder told reporters at a football campus in Tordera, Spain: 'If a player is on the market it is because the club does not want him. I have no problems,; following reports that Barcelona have lodged an initial bid of £35million plus add-ons for his signature.Marseille and France midfielder Mathieu Valbuena, 26, has been mentioned as a possible recruit for Wenger should he lose Fabregas and Nasri.His agent Christophe Hutteau said: 'I don't really wish to comment on this matter. All I can say at the moment is that Mathieu Valbuena is still under contract with Marseille. He will resume squad training tomorrow.'Read more: http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-2010893/Manchester-City-set-finalise-27m-deal-Arsenal-duo-Samir-Nasri-Gael-Clichy.html#ixzz1R5Kl1tZh
Reports out of Germany are increasing in frequency that Nicklas Bendtner, Arsenal’s unsettled striker, will become the subject of an official bid from Bundesliga outfit Hamburg.German radio quoting club sources have indicated that representatives of Bendtner have already met with officials from Hamburg and that a deal is very close to being concluded.Bendtner has not managed to hold down a permanent first team place at The Emirates and for a player that has declared himself one of the world’s better goal scorer the frustration at the lack of first team football has started to take its toll.A fee of £13 Million was mentioned and that is probably enough for Arsenal to agree to the sale of the young Dane.
Arsene Wenger, the Arsenal manager, is preparing to spend as much as £20 Million to bring Wolfsburg midfielder Diego to The Emirates this summer.The German media are reporting that Arsenal have moved in to pole position and that the unhappy Diego would jump at the chance to join the North London outfit.bet365 are offering up to £200 in free bets to new customersDiego has not had the best of times at Wolfsburg, he has been repeatedly fined and has expressed his desire to leave the Bundesliga club, he has also stated that he would love to play in the Premiership.Diego would cost approx £20 Million according to the reports, more than Arsenal would be expected to spend, but Diego is a class player and at just 26 years of age still has his best years ahead of him, while at the same time being highly experienced.
7 mil for a experience prem and CL player in this market, no matter how much is fallen off is a joke. Arsenal have even lost their ability to bump teams. Could have easily got 12-15mil. Who the f*ck can you buy for 7 mil? lol
It's Man City. They paid 20 mil + for De jong who was in his last year. Villa got over 15 mil for a player on his last year as well. You can't get f*ck all with 7 mil these days.
