Borussia Monchengladbach, who were thought to be the front runners to sign Nicklas Bendtner from Arsenal this summer, have said that they are not interested in him and they do not know where the stories have come from in the media.

Arsenal could be stuck with Bendtner again by Stefan

Bendtner claimed the other day that he was in talks with “five or six” clubs for his signature and Gladbach were one of them and the favourites to sign him. It was reported that he had other offers from Germany, thought to be from Werder Bremen, Wolfsburg and Hannover, and there was also interest from Russia but Bendtner was thought to be keen on a move to Germany. .......Read the full article here

One has to decide whether to come to Arsenal, while the other has to decide which, if any, club to leave Arsenal for, and both decisions are expected in the next couple of weeks. Nicklas Bendtner could be set to finally give up his Arsenal wages and move to a club where he will get to play regularly, while Grenier will discover the answer to a few questions from his current club before deciding what to do with his future.

The 22-year old French midfielder is currently on holiday, according to ESPN, and when he returns he will hold talks with officials and management from Lyon. His agent has stated that Grenier is waiting to hear what the French club have to say about certain things he left them to consider before going on holiday. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal in trouble with Juventus again by Stefan

I feel as though Arsenal have travelled back in time to where they were two or three weeks ago now because Juventus have once again intervened in the transfer deals for Stevan Jovetic and Gonzalo Higuain.

The deal for Higuain looked to be almost done after Arsene Wenger met with him and his father in Paris last week to agree personal terms, but Juventus stepped in at the last minute and attracted Real Madrid’s interest with a bid. The exact same thing happened the other week but Higuain was still deciding on a move to either Arsenal or Juventus but Juventus seemingly dropped out of the deal and changed their minds as they continued to look for new attacking options. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal and Bendtner by SS

Arsenal outcast Nicklas Bendtner has claimed that he is in talks with five or six clubs over a permanent transfer away from the emirates after spending the last two seasons away on loan at Sunderland and Juventus where he failed to show Arsene Wenger that he deserves to stay at the club and be given more game time.

The fact that he is talking to “five or six clubs” is a great thing to hear for Arsenal fans because they will finally be getting rid of the waste of space who drives up the wage bill and arrogantly claims he is the best player in the world. .......Read the full article here

Another one bites the dust! by AH

Arsenal have already released a confirmed list on the players that are set to leave this summer as their contracts will expire on the 30th June. This list includes first team squad players Arshavin, Denilson and Squillaci, whilst many other youth team players that were arguably unlikely to make it were also listed as the other players departing the club. .......Read the full article here

Swap deal possibly on the cards? by AH

Everybody knows that Arsenal are on the lookout for a new striker this summer with Jovetic and Higuain both the main targets. But with Juventus also interested in the pair Arsenal may have to look elsewhere and recently Galatasaray striker Burak Yilmaz has been mentioned as a possible option for Arsenal.

Interestingly it’s also been reported that the Turkish club wants to sign current Arsenal striker and Denmark International Nicholas Bendtner, who himself has just returned from Serie A club Juventus, leading to further reports that perhaps the two clubs could come to some form of agreement through a swap deal of these two players. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal are hoping to part company with quite a few of the players us fans term, perhaps a bit harshly, as dead wood. Along with the relaxing of the financial spending restrictions brought about by the building of the Emirates stadium and the self-financing policy of the club, the extra money available for not paying all these unnecessary salaries will hopefully set the Gunners off on a much more prosperous and successful future.

Well it is one down, plenty to go today, but it is a good start. We know that some players, Andrey Arshavin and Sebastien Squillachi, will be out of contract very soon. Arsenal have also released 10 young players from the academy that are deemed not to be good enough for new professional contracts. The next step is to somehow managet to say goodbye to the likes of Nicklas Bendtner and Chamakh. .......Read the full article here

I can just hear it now, Arsenal do not need to sign nay more strikers, because Gervinho has decided to stay. While he’s at it, Arsene Wenger could also say that getting Andre Santos and Nicklas Bendtner back from their loan spells will be like signing two new players. Oh, and Abou Diaby might be fir sometime around Christmas, so we will manage until then and have a good end to the season, narrowly beating Tottenham into fourth place. .......Read the full article here

It’s a Win-Win scenario for Arsenal by AH

Although some people may slate the club for letting the deadwood players go for stupidly small sums of money, a lot of people will correctly recognise that although it hasn’t added much to our transfer chest, it does free up a lot of space elsewhere.

Now in this article, I’m addressing how much the club could realistically make if we were to sell all the players that have been touted for a move this summer. Of course some of them will stay because they won’t be able to find a club, and some of them just genuinely won’t be sold because they are still wanted, like Vermaelen. I’ll look to address a player’s value and how much wages they will open up and obviously each player that goes frees up a squad place. .......Read the full article here

One of the big problems for Arsenal in recent years has been the number of players drawing nice, big salaries from the club and offering nothing on the pitch. Arsene Wenger and the club officials obviously don’t plan for this to happen, but it is a serious drain on the expenses, while at the same time driving your average Gooner up the wall and through the roof.

Things are looking a bit better for the Gunners recently, however, as the number of players in that situation at the club has been falling, often by loaning them out. It’s not an ideal situation, but at least they are not draining the resources of Arsenal so much. They may also earn themselves a permanent move or at least sharpen up their skills when playing for another team. .......Read the full article here

How much the deadwood will free up space by AH

It’s a pretty well-known fact that in order for Arsenal to improve then we need to ship out some of the ‘deadwood’ and replace it with talent that can seriously build on our team and make it a strong competitor. If I’m honest I really don’t think we are that far off a great team, we have the buildings of it already at the club, we just need to go out this summer and buy, in my opinion 3, maybe 4 top quality players. .......Read the full article here

What are we going to do with Nicklas Bendtner when he comes back to Arsenal? by SS

Simple, sell him. He has been on loan at Juventus this season after Arsene Wenger finally tried and failed to sell him last summer. He has not scored a single goal at Juventus this season and has failed to show the Arsenal management why he should stay at the club.

Bendtner started his career in his native Denmark with Copenhagen who are one of the biggest and best clubs in Denmark. He was purchased as a teenager for a very small amount and left to prove his worth in Arsenal’s reserves for a while. .......Read the full article here
