NOTW are reporting that Arsenal are about to go head-to-head with Man United for the signature of Lyon striker Karim Benzema. It is the NOTW so I wouldn’t get too excited. It seems like Adebayor will leave Arsenal in the summer, with AC Milan being the team linked to the Togo striker over and over [...]

MELO, IS IT ME YOU’RE LOOKING FOR?
With the recent rumour linking Fiorentina hatchet-man Felipe Melo with a move to Arsenal, I decided to watch the Brazilian in action against Italy in the Con-Friendly-erations Cup, to find out what he was all about. Admittedly, it’s the first time I’ve seen him play, so I’m not in the best position to comment about [...]

TEVEZ LEAVING MAN UNITED – WE SHOULD SIGN HIM
BBC are reporting that Manchester United have announced that Carloz Tevez is definitely leaving the club. If we get rid of Adebayor, then we should jump at the chance to sign Tevez. He would be absolutely spot on for Arsenal. Interestingly, Vermealen has yet to be given a squad number. Could the rumours linking Kolo [...]

ARSENAL SIGNING COULD JUST FIT THE BILL
Arsenal have finally secured the services of Belgian defender Thomas Vermeaelen from Ajax for an undisclosed fee. The 23-year-old has already come under criticism from Tony Adams, claiming the player is not good enough for Arsenal, but let’s be honest, what does Tony Adams know? A great player yes, but a diabolical coach and judge [...]

FIXTURE LIST MOAN!
Everyone else glued to the internet or TV at 10am on Wednesday? Yeah me too! At any other time of the year the release of fixtures wouldn’t be that exciting, but given we are missing our football fix – the new season is still eight weeks away – the release of the new season’s fixtures [...]

SAKHO AND VELOSO TO ARSENAL? YES PLEASE!
PSGs young centre back Mamadou Sakho has reportedly been on the radar for quite some time now, but the recent reports are suggesting that Sakho will be staying put, for the time being anyway. Sakho stated on his own personal website: I want to formally refute the statements that have been published in the press [...]

VAN PERSIE TO INTER FOR £25m – YES PLEASE!
According to the Mirror, Inter Milan are considering a £25m swoop for our injury plagued, inconsistent, slows the game down, Dutch star, Robin van Persie. Don’t get me wrong, I like van Persie, but he is all of the above. Yes, on his day his is a fantastic player who can turn any defence inside [...]

GARETH BARRY – OPPORTUNITY MISSED?
Early June is usually the time where transfer rumours and conjecture dominate the headlines, rather than any done deals – too many managers seem to be on their holidays for moves to be finalised. So it took me by surprise when the transfer of Gareth Barry to City went from tabloid rumour to done in [...]

ARSENAL SIGN AJAX DEFENDER? AND BARRY TO MAKE WAY FOR MICHAEL JOHNSON?
A lot of rumours are circulating that Arsenal are close to, or already have, reached an agreement to sign Ajax defender Thomas Vermaelen. Tony Adams has raised his concerns over Vermaelen, but to be honest, I really couldn’t care less what Adams thinks. Great Arsenal player, but hardly someone to take advice from. I think [...]
