Wojciech Szczesny to be ousted as number 1 | Massive transfer day | Arsenal clear out to begin

by & filed under Uncategorized.

So much going off this morning.

Firstly Nasri is believed to be considering a move to United. He’s apparently disillusioned with the lack of success at Arsenal. Fair shout so are the fans. However, if he can’t see he has been part of the problem I hold no hope he’ll change his attitude next season. This is a massive ‘wake up and smell the coffee’ moment for Wenger. That air of trust he used to have is dissipating faster than Steve Macclaren’s hair.

Samir Nasri prior to 5th June was averaging 40 mentions a day in the world of Social media. Since the 5th, he’s had a whopping 12500 mentions across Facebook, twitter and the blogosphere. Is that exclusive pirate material? You bet your ass it is…

Basically, there has been a lot of b*llocks spoken about him, countless people have the ‘inside line’, fact is, no one knows what’s going on. Is it an agent ploy for more money or is it a genuine break for the hills?

I spoke to my contact Pam, who as you all know, is as genuine as they come, and she knew nothing. That doesn’t really mean anything, all but the most important people at Arsenal are on holiday right now.

Next move on the card is Gael Clichy. Apparently Liverpool have bid £5million for him. It sounds like a low price but let’s remember just how poor he’s been for the past 3 seasons. Shipping out a player I really like is a bad thing, shipping out an under performer in the cold light of day is what big club should be doing. To be honest, the way Kenny is spending, I reckon he’d have bid £5mill if Gael was out of contract.

We should now be able to realise our dream of Vertoghen. I know he was pulled off at half time for having a bad game, but Eden Hazard was the player who took the biggest panning from that game, so I’ll take international performances with a massive pinch of ‘ I don’t give a f*ck.’

We could also look at retro haircut Leyton Baines, his barnet would surely make up for the loss of Clichy. He’s never impressed me, but he’s highly rated by many Everton fans… and he’s English.

Next up is the rumours that Barca are in for Cesc. Well, that story for me is dead in the water. Barca have stated they have £45million to spend and they’re already tying down other players like the £22million Alexis Sanchez. We don’t need to take a small fee and we won’t. If Cesc wants to go so badly we should do what Geoff said. Give Madrid a call and say you can have Cesc and we’ll take Benzema and Ozil. I could live with that. It’s not money we need it’s players.

Oh, and can everyone stop mentioning Krkic, it’s like taking my iPad away and offering me a Kindle as compensation.

We’re also in advance stage talks for Willian and Gervinho according to the Telegraph. I remember Willian from last season and he was a handful. As for the Gervinho story, I can’t help but think he’s another one of those just above average players teams like Villa and Everton have … You know, like Rosicky. He’s not rocking my world, but we’ll see!

Besiktas are in for Nik B… *snigger

Speaking of Pam, the only interesting snippets I garnered were that the manager and others at the club fear Szczesny has become a bit arrogant of late and his performances haven’t exactly merited his ‘Nikki Big B*llocks’ statements in the press. So whilst I’m not going to say the Freidel move definitely happened, it might not be far from the truth. We could well be looking at a mature keeper to handle the reigns for a season or two. I wouldn’t be against that. Szczesny has brough an air of stability to our defence, but to be honest, Peter Shilton right now could have done that.

On the transfer front, I reported that before the Villa game, we weren’t going for wholesale changes. Since then, the massive fat hand of reality has dry slapped Wenger into reality. The Villa game really did confirm the widely held fan view that the players didn’t give a crap. If you can’t fight to the death when you’ve charitably been given a chance by all the other contenders, you’re really not Arsenal material.

Players for the chop are certainly Bendtner, Denilson and Eboue. Others set to follow should be Traore, Vela, Rosicky, Almunia and possibly Squillaci. Though don’t get too carried away about the Frenchman, he’s apparently a great guy to have around the players and he’s a good professional.

It’s been reported that we’ve entered the frame for wing wizard Eden Hazard. Apparently we’re in talks for the man from Belgium and we’ve held provisional negotitations. Kind of goes against anything the player or the chairman of Lille have been saying, but what do I know! This would be a great move, but not against the back drop of losing Nasri to either City or United. That really would be killer, mind you, not as killers as waiting a year then losing him on a free.

Still… let’s stay positive and hope he decides to sign up. Manchester is a s*it hole and it’s a long way from the Eurostar.

Keep it real Sammy, keep it London.

Not just that though, if United sign Ashley Young, what would be the point of Samir? Ok, I know he likes playing in the middle, but he’s never demonstrated any ability there. He’s hardly creative and I’d be surprised if Fergie was willing to choose him centrally over the far more talented Sneijder? If he does decide to take him though, we’ll deal with it.

Samir Nasri is like a Gucci manbag, he’s only good for one season (Fashion season baby)… literally.

What we have learned since last year is an unhappy player is a mentally injured player. Ship them out and bring in some players who do want to play for us. If we’ve got £16million to sign Phil Jones, we should have £15million to sign Cahill (If Gael is worth £5million going into the final year of his contract at a club with more money than anyone in Europe, why is Cahill worth £17mill in the last year of his contract at a club £80million in debt?).

Let’s hope Wenger has more than one plan this summer. If we can nab Benzema, let’s have a crack, he’s good for 10 years and he’s clearly got plenty of talent and a helluva lot more to give than he’s giving Mourinho. Let’s sign a centre midfielder as well, Inler looked the part again, he’s still slumming it in Italy, he’d probably relish a move.

There are players out there and after speaking to Pam, I’m confident we’re going after them… whether we’ll get them is up to Arsene Wenger!

Hallelujah! Let’s get this summer cracking!

UPDATE: A word for Diaby on the admitting he sometimes wears a Spurs shirt. Firstly, once you’re past the age of 14, wearing a football shirt in the street isn’t cool. Secondly, our friendship from a few years back when we sat next to each other, well, it’s over. Spurs are 100% welcome to you. They’ll get 2 good games a season from you out of a total of 18 you’ll play. You might look like Patrick Vieira, but my god, you play like his sister and have ankles his grandma would mock. One thing I will say, your dream of winning the Ballon D’or isn’t going to happen at Spurs.

Muppet… what has our club become when players can openly talk inflammatory nonsense like that unreprimanded?

    it take a bit of time to start competing when you’ve built a stadium it’s not like we didn’t pay for it

    BBC confirm Arsenal are in talks with Lille for Gervinho, but the club’s can’t agree a fee. Arsenal believe Lille want too much.

    YoungGunsBlogJamie Sanderson

    It’s hilarious really. Arsenal only want Gervinho because Hazard is too expensive, but now we think Gervinho is too expensive, too.

    Mirror claim Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain has jetted off on holiday in the knowledge that he will be confirmed as an Arsenal player on July 1.

  4. Real Talk Red

    Some of the comments on here really are childish and stupid!

    Let’s deal with Fabregas first as that’s what the story is about.

    Fabregas has always been mentally a Barca player on loan at Arsenal, the lads Catalan after all who can blame him. He’s talented and Wenger has built the current team around him which has meant playing others out of their natural position eg Nasri to accommodate Fabregas in the centre. Wenger has made him team captain to try to keep him at the club as he did with Viera and Henry, bad decision! You should NEVER make anyone team captain just to keep them at the club. Fabregas has been a **** poor captain, not his fault he’s young but you can see it aint in him, too quiet. This is psychologically the weakest Arsenal squad I have ever witnessed in all the years of supporting the Gunners, that’s because the team lacks serious leadership on the field. Watch on set pieces no one takes charge of organising, no one takes charge to even shoot on goal. The work rate when not on the ball to win it back is poor.

    There is no winning ethos at the club, the board are only concerned with balancing the books (let’s hope Kroenke changes that), as long as Wenger qualifies for the C. League the board are happy.

    Many of you forget Arsenal are going through a period of transition and Wenger is trying to develop a squad of kids. Players do not come into their prime until 25 plus, so expecting trophies over the past 5 years is quite frankly stupid.

    Let’s face it with the resources Wenger he’s had and what he has achieved with it there is little wonder the man has been voted world manager of the last decade. Every other club has spent spent spent just to finish in the top 4, Arsenal have done so every year even during this period of transition & development on a ****-ant budget. And I see some idiots are again saying Arsenal won’t finsih in the top 4 next year, how many times have I heard that i wonder!!!

    If the circumstances were exactly the same at Arsenal and had Wenger been English half of you idiots on here would be calling for him to be the next England manager. The real problem that most of you anti Arsenal/Wenger haters can’t stand is the man’s French, that’s the real problem. Wenger is not anti-English, he just doesn’t buy English because British players have inflated prices and he tends to prefer technically gifted players which are a rarity in England. The man is trying to build a Barca style footbal playing team, he’s not going the usual average physical cloggers and donkeys that generally populate the EPL with good engines on them that only know anti-football tactics running around the pitch throwing themselves in career ending tackles to make up for the fact that they lack real footballing skills.

    And last but not least, that poisonous little **** stirrer Arshavin!

    It would be nice if he concentrated on his game instead of being non-existent during matches then only showing rare glimpses of his ability. The number of sitters this knob has missed over the past season is amazing!

    REAL TALK RED, SHUT THE FUCK UP, SUCK ON WENGERS COCK AND CHOKE ON IT

    YA FUCKIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN AKB

  14. SUGA3

    RTR,

    er, no, we don’t give a fuck if Wenger is French, we have a problem with him being deluded, stubborn, tactically inept and stale…

    not using resources at his disposal is another cardinal sin of his…

  15. incesc

    Many of you forget Arsenal are going through a period of transition and Wenger is trying to develop a squad of kids. Players do not come into their prime until 25 plus, so expecting trophies over the past 5 years is quite frankly stupid.

    i agree to an extent but once again some of the good ones we have been developing for all this time are leaving because now they are hitting their prime wenger is refusing to grow up with them and still resorting to buying more kids and starting the cycle again.

  16. gazzap

    N’Zogbia is a bloody good player. I’d must rather he join us than Spurs but I dont think he’ll be joining us. Gervinho seems more likely.

  18. che morales

    fcuck gervinho and his fcuked up hair why are we resigned to basement buys i take it…

    i propose an arsenal revolution. transfer protest during emirates cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

  19. incesc

    Real Talk

    most people would lay off wenger if he gets in some top quality and tries to make a step forward.

    we’re all fed up of being nearly men.

    barce have a great youth set up, but it started working when they added ronaldinho and eto and so on.

  20. Danny

    More time…????
    More time- more damage… He’s had his time. We are a laughing stock… I used to challenge anyone criticising Arsenal, now I can’t be bothered to muster an argument, I just can’t defend Wenger anymore.

  21. SUGA3

    RTR,

    do you know what is funny? that if you check the threads from one year ago and the years before, you will see a clone of you saying the same thing…

    as far as I am concerned, Wenger has until the end if the month to save himself and the team, if we go through the same motions between now and the end of August, I seriously fear for the club…

    not just this team, fuck them (bar a few), but the club in the long term: CL status, sponsorship deals, etc.

    we are skating on VERY thin ice here…

  22. Wenger the liar

    What Danny says is very telling. At the end of this window theres a very good chance that all argument about Arsene will be over, we will now for sure that his time has come. Even the most patient of fans will know in their heart of hearts we will be going into the season and at best finishing 3rd.

    Every one except those on ACLF.

  24. kwik fit

    Guys no matter who is brought in RVP must be in the hole ( the old Bergkamp role) . RVP can not play any other position!

  27. danny silversconi

    im astonished that after 6 seasons some fans still have belief. WAKE UP YOU DELUDED TWATS NOTHINGS GOING TO CHANGE SURE HELL BUY OX CUBE N ANOTHER YOUTH PLUS GERVINHO BUT WILL THAT MAKE US PREMIER LEAGUE CHALLENGERS……CLOSE YOUR MOUTH AND STEP AWAY FROM WENGERS LYING NUTS….HES A LYING CUNT HE TOLD THE FRENCH RAPPER HED ONLY PUT THE TIP IN BUT THAT LYING BASTERD ENDED BALLS DEEP IN

  29. Wenger the liar

    il check it out incesc thanks alot

    from the indie

    It is also worth noting that Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott each have two years to run on their contracts and to prevent a rerun of the Nasri situation, the club must surely try to progress negotiations on new deals for them before the start of next season

    I might hide in a cave for a month or two this is too much doom for my brain to handle

  38. incesc

    he was around earlier.

    kwik

    apart from messi cos thats to obvious, if you could sign any 22 players in world football to win us the league who would you go for?

  40. Lurch LeRouge

    sorry david went for a shit. ;)

    I use cameras and illustrate using photography, old school set building, model making etc…

    but what Incesc recommended is the way forward in terms of CG… on that topic I’ve been learning teaching myself C4D these past few months, mostly because i’m mac based but also because its a new piece of software and its interface is a little more approachable than the older equivalents …

    but yeah if you want to be commercial with it best learn maya and 3dmax, that said its all about the plugins really…

    hope that helps.

  41. kwik fit

    Incesc that is a sort of meaning of life question god’s its not easy 22 . One thing for sure there are no Arsenal players in it! Not after the last 3 months!

  44. incesc

    sorry 22 is mindblowing

    yaya toure is one for me.

    i think we need a drogba, but not sure who the next one is

  45. OPG

    WAHEY linked with another Barca wonderkid, in talks with several clubs and Gervinho may sign for City instead.
    Meanwhile Bendtner is wanted by Besiktas.

  50. kwik fit

    Listen if the city boys get gervinho good luck to them !
    they have give us oasis and the fucking lads so what to fuck!

  51. Lurch LeRouge

    barca wonderkid? what as exchange for cesc?

    nah thats dreamland why would barca – who are poor – spunk a load of cash and a V promising (thiago) player on Cesc (a crock) who will only get cheaper (and confirm his lack of crockness, or not) to put him on the bench? oh because he’s future captain material??

    makes no sense to me, can someone make sense of it?

  52. Lurch LeRouge

    soon incesc, im in transition from doing post production for other photogrpahers to launching solo full time… ill show and tell when its up.

  54. Jerry

    Chav$ki are very quiet but then they’ve a manager to come in before they spend. Citeh are also quiet so far but then they can bide their time and snap up the whole top draw at any moment. With both of these obscenely rich clubs you just know they are plotting and dealing behind the scenes, huge announcements are just round the corner for sure.

    Yet here we are, with the likes of fucking spurs, contemplating how to plug holes after our better players are taken from us. Liverpool managed to balance the loss of Torres and probably came out of it in a stronger position as a team. As much as I realise we must have a plan, those plans again seem to be dependent on the outcome of a number of outgoings first.

    This is not the position a top club should find itself in or am I naive to still believe we are a top club? We just about whimpered to 4th with Fabregas & Nasri, without these guys we will be weaker, any new players will need time to adapt especially if foreign, so as much as I hate to say it I feel we will be fucked if they both leave. Fabregas will definitely go but Nasri I think will stay, just pay the fucker his money and move on, we’ve enough to worry about without that shit getting out of hand. Sell him later when you’ve got a long contract to barter with ffs.

    Vermaarlen needs to be made captain, RVP can stay as vice captain & offered a new 5 year contract to boot, sharpish.

  59. ChapmanSpinsInHisGrave

    GK – Stack, Shabaan, Poom, R. Wright, Almunia
    RB – Luzhny, Hoyte, Gilbert, Garde, Garry, Volz
    LB – Juan, Grondin, van Bronkhorst (who Wenger wasted by trying to play alongside Vieira!)
    CB – Stepanovs, Tavlaridis, Squillaci, Cygan, Upson, Silvestre, Simek
    RW – Pennant, Larsson, Watt
    LW – Boa Morte, J. Thomas, Malz
    CM – Ricketts, Inamoto, Bischoff, Svard, Mendez, Spicer, Diaby
    ST – Karbassiyoon, Lupoli, Diawara, Owusu-Abeyie, Jeffers, Aliadiere, Stokes, Wreh.
    In 15 years, Wenger has b(r)ought over 100 players to our club, and as you can see from above, I’ve let him away with quite a few. The list above clarifies why Wenger will never take us to the next level. Someone somewhere within our club needs to grow a pair and tell him he and his ridiculous ‘bubble’ coat should never darken the doors of the Emirates again before we sink even further.

    jerry

    paying nasri what he wants then recouping it all if he is desperate to leave in 2 seasons for a huge fee is far too logical for us.

  63. kwik fit

    Jerry you make some very valid points! But you must realise that Mr Miser and his side kick Pat noodle have lost the ablltity to control and manage! This next yaer is like it was back in 1995!

  64. Jerry

    I fear that at any moment we will sign the new Gus Ceaser, then play the cunt out on the wing of course.

    We are in serious danger of becoming a complete fucking shambles.

  66. kwik fit

    Jerry its fucking really frighting . Cos Have you watched Wenger over the last year or two ? The man in my humble opnion has fucking lost it! So Pat noddle on the right is in denial! Get a Slalwart such as adams or bould to to couch this team soon!
