Heard on SSN that Sneijder has apparently indicated he wants to join United?

Well that sucks the big one.

Eto'o signing for Russian side Anzhi Makdkldslslgslgk460-1lkvslka. Fee around €40m. Wages £338,000 a week before 13% tax. He stands to make around £17.6m a year on a 4 year contract.

He'll probably last about 6 months given the number of racist fucks over there.

seriously bringing in the youngsters to provide a spark and the prospect of more pace is all fair and well but if we dont address the defence in the next few days then I would say our summer building has flopped, I know that we would still have a week or so to go after Saturday but surely our first line up of the season needs to show our intent.

we need to

1) get 1 or 2 CBS
2) in the case of 2 - move a fit Verm to LB - Gibbs can get the back up
3) get rid of Nic - he has said just as much so what are we waiting for? (someone desperate enough to take him on)
4) get rid of Eboue - what are we waiting for - fuck knows
5) have Wenger get a grip
5) address a touchy subject - but for all the arguments I know not which way to turn, get shod of 1 or both - I lean towards both that that would leave us seriously unstable - but surely we are equally as unstable with them staying - the mental strength of the squad is fragile enough as it is and this is where we need Wenger to lead most. If we get rid of one I say Nasri goes, fuck it if he goes to Citeh then so be it, cant stand the up in the air feeling anymore. We have players to play his position but we still dont have that replacement for Cesc and if Barcunt dont want to pay the asking price then they can FO. We showed many times that we can win without Cesc over the last few seasons so if he wants to sulk then the bench is waiting for him. Sell him next year if Barca are still interested.
6) seriouly look at a striker - money for Nasri would pay for Benzama
7) get a back up in the midfield - not sure who that could be - the Mata rumour looks to have died but there still could be some life in it - (Barton is a cunt but he is one that can play so would not make me shoot myself in the head if we did get him - just my opinion!)
8) take some risks - whether it is by breaking a transfer record or cashing in a player who we thought we were building our future around - he who dares wins and I think we dont win both on the field and other because we refuse to dare - another 5 million - fuck it pay it - after all it was the player we wanted wasn't. We need to show serious intent to be taken seriously. ManU and Chelsea do it and have succeeded, Citeh are doing it and look like they could succeed. Liverpool do it and...........(to be fair look better on paper) - we can do but refuse to, there is nothing wrong with being careful but it is not paying off

We are not far off being a good team, we might have to take some losses first but what we want is within our grasp

BTW please feel free to add to the list those are some things I thought of while waiting to start a meeting - didn't add 9) sack Wenger

......cos I'm not at that stage yet

problem is that we and all else can only name 25 man squads so we have to get rid before we can bring in. The last thing we want is players like Bendtner and Eboue unregistered in the reserves but still on 30-60k a week wages. We cant afford that as a club hence the hesitation IMO.

Most prem teams have already filled their 25 which means they, like us, have to get rid before bringing in. Had we got our finger out over the summer like the other big clubs then we could have all this done by now and be training and working as the official frist team squad rather than having 5 or 6 players who are here but might not be tomorrow or the next day. Its yet another failure that hasn't been acknowledged but simply painted over by the PR machine.

Sly sports have this story now. Chamakh needs To worry less about Cesc and More about how to score the muppet. Though after these comments would not be suprised if he is benched or sold.

He's already benched, doubt he'll get sold just for saying something like that, after all it IS what it looks like.

Yeah its True but We know AW would not want to here it, we know how much we wants to keep the 2 players. Its Just shows how much unrest we have at the club, when our players can see there is a problem.

Well, at least he’s shown some intelligence. How can a club like Arsenal allow Nasri to get down to his last year in contract?

Like the fans, I’m sure the players are uneasy and perplexed by the way we’re conducting business. It’s head scratching stuff. Like, how can we allow this sort of situation? Also we should be sorting out Walcott and RVP’s contracts now, otherwise we’ll find ourselves in the same position come Christmas.

good point bout squad, really seems our fate is in the hands of others but like I said its time for us to force those hands because its nothing bit detrimental to the cause, if there is even such a thing!

As time passes Nasri looks like a bigger and bigger cunt. We've offered him the contract, he won't sign it. It's all about greed with this cunt even though he tries to come across as the black and white straight talker. He's anything but. I fucking hate ugly lesbians.

Obviously tasty lesbians are okay.

Anelka is passed 30, passed his peak and not their main player or someone built up to be a future star player. There is a big difference.

You've been defending this point from day one as if the club and Wenger haven't made a mistake. As if we haven't been down this road before with other players. They really should know better even if it does happen with other clubs. Burnt once, you should learn your lesson, right?

I said months ago when this all started that we should have tied him down when he had two years left on his contract and a whole host of excuses came out, exempting the Wenger from blame and saying he's not responsible for contracts...etc.

Months later, we find out that Wenger has made a 'technical decision' which overrules the board and has decided to keep Nasri even if we lose him on a free. If Wenger has no say on player contracts, then how comes he's able to make such a decision?

It was silly to let him get past two years on his deal and Wenger came out and slung mud at Manure for allowing Rooney to get past the two year period on his contract when they we're having problems. Low and behold we find ourselves in the similar position. He should know better because he spoke on the dangers of allowing a player to get past two years of his contract. Was that all hot air?

You may think it's greed, but I don't. If I worked for a stingy company that were so tight with their money they refused buy new equipment for the office even though it would benefit us, I'd be questioning the management and their ambition. Staying at such a place for 5 - 8 years wouldn't be a part of my plan. If we all think these sort of things about Arsenal, the club we've all been supporting for most of our lives, what do you think the players are thinking and they've only been with us for 3/4 seasons?

Well its easy for them to get him, no one was fighting for him and UTD knew the price they could pay Inter won't raise it to silly amounts and i suppose The mancs can give hima good contract tbh.

But if city come in with a bigger offer he is going there. Money talks.

The 30-year-old failed to display his best form for Arsenal last season and has just one year remaining on his present deal.

He has held talks with the Gunners board over a 12-month extension but as yet, a deal has not been concluded.

Rumours have been circulating that the diminutive playmaker could be heading for Real Madrid, but he has steadfastly rejected that rumour.

Invented
"They are things invented on the internet," he told the Evening Standard.

"More than one time I have said that this season I will play in Arsenal colours. I would not play for Real Madrid for all the money in the world.

"For me, Real is a complete taboo because I'm an admirer of Barcelona."The Russia captain has also been linked a move back to his homeland with ambitious Makhachkala.

They were taken over by Russian billionaire Suleyman Kerimov in January, and are now trying to attract some of Europe's stellar names to their project.

Approached
Inter Milan's Samuel Eto'o has been approached about signing for the club and Arshavin also has been linked.

But he stresses they would be wasting their time if they contacted him.

He told Sport Express newspaper: "I've already said, and can only repeat, that this season I will be at Arsenal.

"I haven't received any proposals from Makhachkala. I have not had any contact with the club or its representatives."

I hear what you're saying but he's not working for WHSmith, he's a first team player at Arsenal. In the ideal world that means he has a responsibility to himself, the club AND the fans. I know that's not how it works any more, but that's what I mean when I call him a greedy cunt. Greedy not just for the money but for everything that's good for Samir Nasri and fuck it if the club gets hurt in the process. The greedy, greedy, greedy, greedy cunt could sign a two year deal with a buyout clause, instead he's happy to do the year and fuck us over at the end of it. Big fat signing on bonus for him and higher wages. Yeah sure, it's frustrating for all of us, players and fans alike, that Wenger and the board are so up their own arseholes. But we don't fuck off and support the spuds do we? Or worse, slash the team bus tyres before we go. Plus he's ugly. Rest my case.

I hear your point about us being stiffed. But if Man City are willing to pay £25m, it's not that bad. I'm 50/50 with Nasri. I see potential but also see a cowardly scumbag, but that's just talking about his performances on the pitch. But I can understand him wanting to leave this club. For some reason we can't hold on to our players and I also think Wenger will exploit a players loyalty and feed them that 'give me more time' jive.

£25mil for Nasri is good business now as I believe that he his head is not with the club anymore. If we get the full amount up front along with £25mil we'll be getting up front for Cesc we'll be able to get in a quality defender and hopefully cough up the extra for Mata. I doubt Wenger will be looking at a keeper, if he was in the hunt for one I reckon we'd have had him in for pre season.

I particularly don't like Nasri because he's played the straight shooter, telling it like it is, blah, blah, blah, when in reality he's a maggot. At least with Adebyewhore and cashley you know where you stand. Anyway, sell the prick and get as much for him as possible. Agreed. My worry is if City offer £25mill Wenger will cave by default and insist on £20mill. Not sure why City doesn't give as a couple of hundred mill for our whole team tbh. Get it over and done with.

I would have to question the source of this tweet. A check of Soccernet and a couple of other sites shows that Sao Paulo did not play this evening. Their last game was on Monday, and Denilson did not even pick up a yellow.

Would have preferred Cahill tbh, he looks technically better. I know that the primary role of a defender must be defending obviously, and at Arsenal we are in desperate need of a strong, no nonsense defender who will clear his lines and is powerful in the air. But at the same time, given the way we play, we need our defenders to be able to play from the back, and Cahill (who used to be a midfielder I think) is more able to fit into that style IMO.

Having said that, I won't complain if we get Dann. He would be an improvement on the knobs that we currently have playing at the back.
