The last few weeks and months have been full of transfer rumours about players that Arsenal are apparently going to be signing which got me thinking about who is going to leave the club to make room for new players.
Lukasz Fabianski
The Polish keeper has been missing from the team since his fellow countryman Wojciech Szczesny took the gloves nearly two and a half years ago. He has made the odd appearance but it looks like there will be no use for him if the reports linking Arsenal with a new keeper are true. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal moved closer to getting rid of one of Arsene Wenger’s most unsuccessful signings of recent times, as the French striker Marouane Chamakh revealed that he is willing to return to France with his old club Bordeaux.
Chamakh lost his confidence very quickly after arriving at Arsenal, and even on his 5 month loan at West Ham he only managed to make two starts for the Hammers. Now he has had enough and is going to ask Wenger if he will alow him to return to Ligue 1 this summer.
Chamakh said: “l will ask the question again,”
“Everybody knows that Bordeaux is the club closest to my heart.” .......Read the full article here

It is very unlike Arsene Wenger to reveal any of his potential transfer dealings at Arsenal before they are done and dusted, especially seeing as the scouts from other clubs always seem to latch on to players that have been linked with, or scouted by, the Gunners.
The boss must be pretty safe in the knowledge that he has the deal for the young French striker Yaya Sanogo wrapped up then, because he has spoken publicly about the transfer.
“It is in a dvanced stages, but it is not done,” revealed Wenger today.
“I’m very confident. He is a young, promising striker who is a big talent.” .......Read the full article here

As long as Arsenal `finish the job`, as Arsene Wenger put it, and beat Newcastle United on Sunday, Arsenal fans can sit back and look forward to a pleasant summer for the first time in years. Without the fear of selling the captain or the best players and with a transfer war chest for Wenger to add some of those `top, top` players he has been talking about.
An added bonus is that the Gunners may finally be able to shift a significant amount of dead wood from the squad. Johan Djourou seems to have earned himself a move to the Bundesliga with Hannover after playing 15 games since his loan move in January. We also hope that Sao Paulo will take Denilson on permanently and it seems there is a good chance. .......Read the full article here

There are worrying reports coming from behind the scenes at Arsenal involving possible summer signings, and that is before the transfer window has even opened. Apparently Arsene Wenger is keen on securing the signature of his long term target Loic Remy, while other club officials feel the target should be Wilfried Bony.
The story, in today’s Daily Star, suggests that Wenger does not have total control over the use of the club’s transfer war chest. This is going to be an absolutely pivotal summer for Arsenal and we cannot afford to be messing about and pulling in different directions. If we get it right this summer, it could be the start of a great period on and off the pitch, but if we get it wrong it could cut us further adrift of our main rivals. .......Read the full article here

Arsenal’s famous list of “deadwood” players seems to get bigger every year, but for some reason we can never get anyone to actually buy them off us and we have to struggle to send them out on loan every year. But we still do have some talented players out there that have a chance of coming back and becoming first team players of the future.
Let’s lok first at the experienced players that are on loan:
Andre Santos (Gremio) – No-one wants him back at Arsenal but can you believe he played the full 90 minutes in Brazil’s 4-0 win over Bolivia last weekend! .......Read the full article here

Olivier Giroud was talking about the necessity of Arsenal holding on to their best players, as well as investing in new ones. The striker also revealed that there was a possibility of him going to the German giants Bayern Munich before he agreed to come to the Emirates. Despite not being very highly regarded by many Arsenal fans, I think that Giroud has shown enough in his debut season to be able to count himself as one of those players that the Gunners must hold on to. .......Read the full article here

There were reports back in January that Arsenal were considering hijacking the transfer of the French striker Loic Remy from Marseille to QPR. Harry Redknapp was splashing the cash in a desperate attempt to halt his team’s slide out of the Premier League and into the Championship. Although Remy has scored three goals in his five games, his presence does not look like it will be enough.
There is a clause in Remy’s contract that he can leave QPR for around £4 million if they are relegated, and the Daily Express reports that Arsenal are in pole position to take advantage. He was offered around £70,000 a week by QPR and that, along with the fee or around £8 million would have put Wenger off in January because he was not guaranteed to adapt quickly to the English Premier League. .......Read the full article here

Olivier Giroud did not have his best game for Arsenal against Sunderland on Saturday, but he worked tirelessly and provided good link up play with Walcott and Cazorla and held the ball up well and allowed the midfield to get forward. He perhaps should have done better with a couple of chances, but he has come on in leaps and bounds since joining the Gunners in the summer.
I think that Arsene Wenger has finally found the big, powerful striker he has been looking for. In my opinion, the French international has everything he needs to be a success at Arsenal. He has shown himself to be much more useful to Arsenal than his predecessors Marouane Chamakh and Nicklas Bendtner, and I think a lot of this is due to his attitude. .......Read the full article here

There was optimism and some concern when Arsene Wenger made Olivier Giroud his second Arsenal transfer of the summer. The big Frenchman had fired Montpellier to the French title and top scored in the league, but the Gunners did not have a great recent history with strikers from Ligue 1, as Marouane Chamakh and Gervinho had both scored well in France then struggled at the Emirates.
Giroud did get off to a slow start, taking time to adapt to the English Premier league and getting over his nerves. He was playing well but missing chances, but then started to find the net and his performances steadily improved as well. In 2013, his form has been much better again and his finishing is markedly improved. The striker has been speaking about how being at Arsenal is helping him improve, and he is confident that this will continue. .......Read the full article here

Samir Nasri (Can he get anymore smug) by JC
This is a blog on a very delicate matter. On Sunday Samir Nasri the most arrogant man in football chose to take a walk with all the Arsenal supporters with another idiot Chamakh to the City game. These two guys are without a doubt two of the most vain characters in the history of the game bar Ronaldo. Chamakh last year was seen smoking the pipes of peace with Taarabt after our loss to QPR and smiling a few hours after the loss. It was all over the papers and to be fair that was his Arsenal future sealed. Now the complete moron feels the need to walk with Nasri to the Arsenal game after just going out on loan (What a complete joker). .......Read the full article here

Arsene Wenger said yesterday one of the main things for Arsenal to do now was to hold on to the players we have got. After releasing Marouane Chamakh and Johan Djourou on loan, Wenger says he will not let anybody else leave until he has some new recruits to replace them.
I hope he does not include the Brazilian midfielder, Denilson, in that statement, because he is already on loan at Sao Paulo on Brazil and it seems that the club and the player are keen to make it permanent. That is great news, in my opinion, because we will actually get some money back for a change. .......Read the full article here
