Djourou could be the first out of Arsenal door
Arsene Wenger declared to Johan Djourou this summer that there would be a place for him in the Arsenal side this season, but the Swiss defender has realised that he will have to leave the Emirates if he is to have any chance of playing regular football. The president of the German club Hannover has told the newspaper Bild that they have been having talks about taking Djourou to the Bundesliga.
“I can confirm the name (of Djourou). He is on our list, there have been talks.”
I wrote an article some time ago about Djourou, who was not even being played in the Arsenal reserve side. This must be because he was determined to leave, and Wenger did not want to risk him picking up an injury which would spoil his chance of a transfer. There has also been interest from clubs in the Italian Serie A, so it may not be a straightforward transfer. It does seem likely, however, that Arsenal will not be paying Djourou’s wages next month.
Hannover have struggled defensively this season, but are still pushing for European qualification. They are currently on a winter break, but will be travelling to Portugal for training, and hope to have any new arrivals there, so we could get an announcement very soon.
All the best to u in the future lad…good player but just couldn’t make the cut, and never behaved like spoiled brat…Best of luck chap

I’m not a fan of Djourou but I have massive respect for him and his level of professionalism. He does love Arsenal and has put up with a lack of playing time and played (woefully) out of position every time we’ve had injury crisis due to lack of proper spending on back-ups!
I wish him nothing but the best and hope he gets onto a team that will give him solid playing time & a potential starting spot once he’s earned it. If only some of our other players with more potential had his commitment and work ethic!

Another Wenger cock up. Should have been sold years a go. I’d hate to know what his wages for sitting on the bench for the first team for 5 years are.
Opinions divided. What do you think?

@Terry Norman
Club officials and Walcott have finally come to an agreement a little below 90,000 per week – much better than the previous 75,000 agreement.
Just putting pen to paper left since everything else is in order as Walcott wants to stay and form a British backbone with the other boys.

Breaking: Arsenal are also in pole position to sign Wilfried Zaha, despite claims that he was Walcott’s replacement – this is not true since Zaha is going to be playing on the wings and rotating with AOX on the right.

Hurry up and move some lads out quick
Would have loved to have woken up today with the news of an Arsenal transfer blitz
Would have also loved to have woken up with those points we missed. We have manc soon enough and the fact we didnt take the points just before a big boy encounter is a further kick in the teeth, its not a good situation playing manc with the points being so vital, even if we manage to beat them the sou game would take the gloss off somewhat.

So please tell me which players in the current squad are EXCEPTIONAL or just ok..??

All these flash in the pans like Walcott are the reason why Arsenal just wont buy proven quality players.The pretenders performance yesterday tells you that Arsenal will be stuck in mediocrity and midtable.Southampton,Norwich,Swansea and even Bradford are equal to them and no top class player would ever want to join Arsenal because they know Wenger is a pennypinching cheapskate who lives in past glory masquerading as a professor of football.

I think most gooners on dis site r forgettin that Johan Djourou was playing like a mug until surprisingly improved to become first choice defender rember when he played his soul out of his skin a few years back in the champions league facing barcelona.. All the best Johan bye bye!

Good luck to him, he hasn’t done anything out of line so I don’t want to wish him anything but good fortune elsewhere, he just wasn’t what this team needed going forward, so it’s the best for both parties if he finds a new club where he can get regular play.

I never thought I would say this but Djourou departure is not good news. Unless Arsenal have something else in the works, this might leave Squillachi and Miquel as the next options. And they are not as good as Djourou.
Hopefully, Arsenal have other plans for a reserve player who I am not following or a transfer target.
