denilson wants to come back already :S

On-loan Arsenal midfielder Denilson is confident Gunners captain Cesc Fabregas will remain at Emirates Stadium, despite ongoing talk surrounding his future.Speculation is rife over where Spain midfielder Fabregas will ply his trade this season having been consistently linked with a return to boyhood club Barcelona.Barca are desperate to bring the 24-year-old back to Camp Nou but are yet to meet Arsenal's£40million valuation.ImportantBrazilian Denilson, who is spending this season on loan with his hometown club Sao Paulo, believes Fabregas will still be a Gunners player when the new campaign gets underway.He told Sky Sports News: "I think it's very important because the fans, the staff at Arsenal, everyone loves Cesc and I think he's going to stay."Denilson, who joined Arsenal in 2006 from Sao Paulo, requested a loan return to the club this season in order to be near to his three-year old daughter.But the 23-year-old admits he already misses Arsenal and hopes to be back in the squad this time next year."I miss London, I miss Arsenal," he added. "I lived there for five years, it's a long time for me. But I think next season I'll be back."The midfielder feels much of Arsenal's appeal is down to manager Arsene Wenger.The French tactician has come under fire after the Gunners failed to end their six-year trophy drought last season, but Denilson has jumped to his defence."Everyone knows Arsene Wenger is a top man and a top manager," he said."He's not just a coach, he's like a dad. It's brilliant for me and for the players because he's helped the players."CriticismWenger has also attracted criticism for his lack of business in the transfer market in recent years, but Denilson insists Arsenal do not need to emulate the big-spending ways of their top-four rivals to contend for silverware."If you see Manchester, Chelsea buying many players, Manchester City as well, they pay much money for the players but Arsenal don't need that," he said."We just need to play to show. This season I'm sure 100 per cent they can win the trophies."

Sporting in for Bendtner £9.5 millionAlso these Mata rumours are picking up.

[Fighting Weight]

Yup theve been doing the rounds for a couple of days, gathered steam today, but Manuel Llorente spoke today and said that he is not for sale, and no amount of money will change that, Unai Emerey on the otherhand had said beforehand that if the right offer came in, he could see him leaving...

Juan nil to Arsenal as they pip Spurs for £13.5m MataSimon Johnson, 28th July.http://www.thisislondon.co.uk/standard- ... 5m-mata.doArsenal are set to clinch a major victory over rivals Tottenham by beating them to the £13.5million signing of Valencia star Juan Mata. Both clubs have stepped up their bid to buy the Spain winger in the last 48 hours but it looks like Arsenal will win the race. It has been reported in Spain that a third English club have also registered their interest, which is believed to be Chelsea, but Mata has set his sights on playing at Emirates Stadium.Mata's father and agent, Juan Mata Senior, said: "Juan is a wanted man in England. A number of clubs are after him but he will want to play in the Champions League. I am sure he will do well in England." Valencia had hoped to get as much as £20m for his signature but Mata has a clause in his contract which allows him to leave for £13.5m. Negotiations are under way and manager Arsene Wenger hopes he can finalise the transfer before the Emirates Cup this weekend, which involves matches against Boca Juniors and New York Red Bulls.Meanwhile, the two north London rivals are also battling it out to sign Blackburn defender Christopher Samba.

sky sports saying were gonna increase our bid for jaglielka aswell if we finish with jag samba gervinho & mata ill be but im still waiting till it actually happens this is arsenal we're talking about

[Guest Jetz]

Doubt we'll get two CB's. Gimme Jagliekla over the two any day. As much as I don't like Bendtner, Chamakh being our second striker is giving me nightmares already. I want Bendy to stay.

[MrJibbles]

Trust.Don't get your hopes up

C/S but if we did end up getting both of them, I'd be a lot happier with the squad for the season.If Cesc was staying also, be a much needed boost.

the mata rumours for that fee sounds too good to be true

Arsene Wenger is on the brink of breaking Arsenal’s transfer record to sign Juan Mata - and has got tough over Cesc Fabregas.Wenger last night agreed a £17million deal with Valencia for Mata - and has also made an increased £13m bid for Everton defender Phil Jagielka.But while Arsenal are finally set to start spending big this summer, they are also turning up the heat on Barcelona over the Fabregas transfer saga.The Gunners' captain will not play in this weekend’s Emirates Cup - as revealed by the Mirror - and Arsenal have told Barca to make a deal at £40m or call it off.Wenger is believed to have set a deadline of August 5 in an e-mail sent to Barcelona president Sandro Rosell, so the Frenchman can start planning for the coming season.Arsenal are braced for Fabregas' exit, but are fed-up of being kept waiting by Barca.Fabregas is equally frustrated and is desperate to force the deal through.The Spanish midfielder has missed much of the pre-season because of a hamstring injury and has been training with the youth team this week.He has told Wenger he wants to leave and may resort to a transfer request to get a deal done.For their part, Arsenal are planning for life after Fabregas.The deal for Mata, 23, represents a great coup, even though it easily tops the £12m paid for Andrey Arshavin in 2009.Spain winger Mata is one of the most sought-after talents in Europe and is keen to join Arsenal following talks between the clubs.Wenger went back with an improved offer for Jagielka after seeing a £10m bid for the centre-half knocked back two weeks ago, but Everton want at least £15m.If they can’t wrap up Jagielka, Arsenal may go back for Bolton centre-back Gary Cahill.Mata’s arrival may mean Arshavin is allowed to go, with Galatasaray keen, while Sporting Lisbon have made a bid for unsettled striker Nicklas Bendtner, however it falls well short of Arsenal’s £12m valuation and the Portuguese outfit would also struggle to meet his £52,000-a-week wages.Meanwhile, winger Theo Walcott has been given the all-clear after an MRI scan on his nagging ankle injury.He does not need an operation, just a few days of rehabilitation.Read more: http://www.mirrorfootball.co.uk/transfer-news/Arsenal-agree-fee-Juan-Mata-set-Barcelona-August-5-deadline-for-40m-Cesc-Fabregas-deal-make-improved-bid-Phil-Jagielka-Everton-article778223.html#ixzz1TRZ9MLLP Sign up for MirrorFootball's Morning Spy newsletter Register here

Mata + Gervinho + Jenkinson + A CB (hopefully not Jagielka though) could represent a good summer's work , especially if Fabregas goes.

[Francis Coquelin]

@YoungGuns: Sporting Lisbon President Carlos Barbosa has ruled out signing Nicklas Bendtner. He says Nicklas' wages are too high.@YoungGuns: Barbosa: "It's highly unlikely that Nicklas Bendtner ends up here. The club pays nowhere near what he is used to at Arsenal."
