Arsenal to bid £6m for Bosnian midfielder
Yet another transfer rumour concerning Arsenal and another midfielder has emerged today, and they always seem to have unpronounceable names!
This one is from the News of the World and says that Arsene Wenger is very keen on the Wolfsburg and Bosnia midfielder Zvjezdan Misimovic, who has been getting rave reviews for the German side this season.
He has scored six goals so far for Wolfsburg in the Bundesliga, and also scored against Besiktas in the Europa League match during the week as his team surprisingly won 3-0 in Istanbul.
The NOTW says that Wenger is “a big fan of his passing and technical ability” but say that Arsenal’s offer of £6m is only have of Wolfsburg’s valuation of Misimovic, and is expected to be rejected out of hand.
The NOTW then ruins the credibility of the story by saying: “Wenger has already seen summer target Marouane Chamakh slip through his fingers because he refused to meet Bordeaux’s valuation of the striker.”, which is patently rubbish!
Wenger has made it quite clear that Chamakh was welcome to come to Arsenal, but as Arsenal already have a full complement of strikers, he would only be sitting on the bench. And he even said that he rang Chamakh to explain the situation!
And he even refused to take him on a free next summer, so meeting valuations didn’t even come into it!
So, if they can get that much wrong, the rest of the story is probably rubbish as well!
Wenger – Arsenal should be in front of Chelsea already!?
Vieira – I’m the best in France but i’m still not picked!

Perhaps Pat, if news of the world really want to brand themselves accurately, they can call themselves the garbage of the bin, this way, they can feel more aligned with what they publish.
How about them instead publishing a real piece of news like arsenal are the greatest football club in the world, that would be news that is more in line with the title of the paper!
Seriously why would u waste ur time writing this rubbish?…do u really belive that how it is right now, wenger will actualy buy any midfielders?….I mean we have so much talent comin through that we could probabaly lose some of them because of no play time. Ramsey as from yesterday is no longer a fringe player!!
in midfield we have fabregas, arshavin, rosicky, walcott, ramsey, diaby, wilshere, song, denilson and nasri so the only way i can see wenger buying a midfielder is if he buys someone as a cover for song during the ACN.
yeah no chance of a creative midfielder joining us for a while yet. cover for song is a possibility but i don’t think wenger will even buy anyone for that
i dont think we need any midfieldet for now as there is enough strength in the idfield..the 1 thing we do need is another good centre back,someone physically strong who can hold strikers like drogba coz if vermalaen or gallas is injured then defense will be a big problem..also a strong presence in the defensive mid field is required..thats the only place were lacking
