I see what you are saying, if they wait until after the Euro's they could get more money, but its also as likely they could get "stuck" with him again like last summer. They are hardly the biggest, richest football club in the world so they might as well settle now. I wonder if Squillachi will go the other way :pray:Quote:

Having confirmed the £11m signing of Lukas Podolski last week, Arsenal are in advanced negotiations with Rennes for their 21-year-old holding midfielder.
There had also been interest in M’Vila from Inter Milan, but the expectation in France is that he will now sign for Arsenal after being convinced by Wenger’s vision for the club.
It is unlikely, however, that any deal will be finalised before the end of the season, placing even more importance on beating West Bromwich Albion on Sunday and so clinching third place and Champions League football for a 16th consecutive season.
As revealed by the Telegraph Sport in March, reinforcing the holding midfield position is a priority this summer for Wenger and M’Vila has always been the preferred target. Indeed, Arsenal also made an enquiry last summer but were told that M’Vila was not for sale.
That situation has since changed, with Rennes resigned to selling their star player this summer.
While the form of Alex Song has delighted Wenger, there is also an appreciation that Arsenal do lack experienced cover in this position.
As well as M’Vila, Atheltic Bilbao midfielder Javi Martinez has been scouted.
Although Arsenal have no shortage of emerging central midfielders, the concern is that Aaron Ramsey, Jack Wilshere, Mikel Arteta, Tomas Rosicky and Abou Diaby are all players who also like to push forward.
Song’s defensive qualities have made him a regular over the past four seasons – and he is likely to be offered a significantly improved contract later this year – but there has been a lack of obvious cover.
Emmanuel Frimpong and Francis Coquelin are both highly promising but largely still unproven at the very highest level. The addition of a player like M’Vila would also give Wenger the option of sometimes playing with two holding midfielders.
Wenger is keen to get his transfer business concluded swiftly this summer and so avoid a repeat of last year when he lost both Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri after the Premier League season had already started.
There is also the hope that the arrival of major signings like Podolski and M’Vila will have a positive knock-on effect for the forthcoming contract negotiations with Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott. Arsenal’s current transfer record is the £15 million that was spent on Andrei Arshavin.
:lol:
All these newspaper stories taken from a twitter-based rumour. These guys must have an easy job, just peruse twitter all day long!
I've also read he may only put pen to paper if we get 3rd. Fits in with the rumours about us announcing a signing after the West Brom game.
Sounds like people think Chavs have already won the CL! They havent, wont and fourth will remain open for one of us three to grab. . . although I see third for us.Quote:

Sounds promising and I believe would be another good buy. . .still young enough to ply his trade out on the wing :doh:
Is there a press conference after the Brom game and if so, what time?Quote:

From Evening Standard website.Quote:
Arsenal have agreed a £17.7million fee with Rennes for midfielder Yann M’Vila but are yet to confirm personal terms with the club’s Champions League participation in the balance.
It is understood the framework of a four-year deal worth around £60,000 a week has been provisionally agreed but both parties are unlikely to finalise terms before Sunday’s final Premier League fixtures.
The Gunners remain third which brings with it automatic Champions League qualification but could yet finish outside the top four as Tottenham and Newcastle lie within striking distance should they falter at West Brom.
Inter Milan are keen to land M’Vila but the 21-year-old has indicated his preference to move to England.
Although M’Vila is still expected to move to Arsenal even if they miss out on the Champions League, a failure to qualify for Europe’s top competition would mean the deal would have to be renegotiated.
The Gunners are keen to finalise the transfer as soon as possible, particularly before the start of Euro 2012, where M’Vila is expected to play a key role for France and the club fear his price could significantly increase.
Yep he knows his stuff that guy.Quote:

Then who the hell in the league would take him if city won't give him top dolla.
lot of journos are now talking about this deal,
james olley of the evening standard has said its pretty much done and he was right with the podolski deal, and so has laurens julian (french one arseblog retweeted) two journos who are pretty good when it comes to arsenal
have a very good feeling about the m'vila story. the vert issue was quite obvious, he said he wanted a regular spot and would of been aware of our starting defenders.
You can forget about M'vila or any other decent signing if we don't get Champs Lge.
Time for these fuckwits to pull their finger out for one final time.
So is this M'Vila guy any good? Has anyone checked that yet?
Yes he's ok, does what Song should be doing whixh is stay in front of the back four.Quote:

@younggunsblog: Had a good chat with @BBCSport_David on M'Vila earlier. Both agreed deal not close. Agent doing lot of talking behind scenes. Arsenal clearly want M'Vila, but deal not progressed behind inquiry. Club adamant not close. Agent looking to stir interest.
It'll be resolved one way or another after Sunday I guess.
Yep. M'Vila or Karl Henry depending on how things go.Quote:

I've got a feeling that this one will drag on for a while yet...I just hope if we're in for him that we get this one wrapped before the Euros because if he has a good tournament we'll be priced out of a move.
Yeah, but if we sign him, he'll break his leg.Quote:
