Couple of rumours going around that Yaya could possibly join us. I think these 2 will be awesome signings: Joe Cole, Yaya. You find 1-2 more defenders and we A for away.
oh ya and a goalie of course

No please not Joe Cole, the last thing we need is another injury prone player

Agree about really top class defenders, someone like Vermaelen - how about Vidic, seems he is not to happy at manure.

Don't you think our midfield is strong enough. Wilshere has shown he is good enough for the premier league, hopefully Rambo will come back strongly. Personally I don't think Yaya Toure is much better than Song who is younger and growing in leaps and bounds every year. But please Mr Wenger get rid of Diaby.

Hahaha... You're dreaming if you think Vidic will go to Arsenal. There were only rumours that he wanted to leave because there was apparent interest in him from other big clubs, like Barca and Real.

don't know how many of you guys watch 'Monday Night Football' on SS3 last night or in general - Idah Peterside is an absolute muppet and should never be allowed to comment on anything Arsenal. The guy has nothing substantial or of merit to say and he basically reads the online columns or watches skysports news and repeats word for word everything he hears or reads, badly out of context and it gets passed off by the panel at supersport.

If he's an expert, then most of us are Prophetic.

edit: I can't see that he's been an Arsenal fan for more than 8 years maximum. I think he started following Arsenal during the purple patch of trophies during the early 2000s. To say that we need a complete overhaul or the manager must go is crazy. From a so called 'expert', I find that irresponsible.

agreed - I've hardly watched MNF since the late 90's and early 2000's when it was just Gary and Terry - wanted to catch some highlights of Ars v Fulham and hear some amusing L'pool and Man U fans bitching - watched last week and it was classic! However, the football related comments by Idah are ridiculous sometimes. Have to comment tho on Shaun Bartlett and Andre Arendse who have been great on the panel for SS - they speak a lot of sense most times and are fair in their assessments. Sean Dundee isn't bad either.

About Idah, there alot of so called Arsenal fans calling for Wenger to be sacked and the squad to be overhauled, they're just clueless

Congratulations to Steve Bould and the Academy League team who retained the title and become the 1st team in history to win it back to back. More so, they did it without the main stars of last years winning team, who were promoted to the Reserves or sent out on loan - the core of the team was made up of a complete new spine - so great work by Liam Brady and Steve Bould.

Players to look out for in future will surely be Spainish defender Ignasi Miquel, Dutch playmaker Oguzhan Ozyakup, striker Luke Freeman and hat-trick hero Banik Afobe. They will possibly have a run in the Emirates Cup and the League Cup campaign.

I still wish we can get Mezit Ozil and I believe Chamakh is a done deal. We have to buy, not to improve the players but rather to be ready when the injuries start. If I had to buy 1 player ? I'd buy sergio ramos from real, not only for his experience or ability but for his guts and confidence and belief. He will be a natural leader.
That's my opinion.

Anyone hear anything about Fran Merida extending his contract yet? Would be *** if he left, down to us going to court over his fee etc. Why is it we always tend to over-extend ourselves with these players, do everything we can to bring them in, pay their clubs compensations over the small fees we ought to, and then send them on loan so that they get their required paperwork and playing VISAs...only to lose them on a free?

examples: Edu in 2001, Fabian Cabellero in 2002 and Flamini in 2004 - all left on Bosmans, after the club broke themselves trying to bring them in. Now Fran! Chief Exec...where are you?

edit: Sebastian Svard, Guy Demel and Rui Fonte are others I recall at the top of my head.
