M'vilas behaviour after the Spain game has come under scrutiny and he might be punished.

Do we really need a trouble maker like him?

Fair enough, if he was quality then you'd risk it but hes widely regarded as being a bit shit

No thanks

Apparently, Drogba's arriving in Spain to sign for Barcelona.

a) We had an exceptional number of injuries in defence last year - hopefully they will be fit again for next year.
b) maybe he has not finshed buying yet
c) a more potent strike force causes the opponents to keep more players back and thus reduces their attack threat, helping the defence.

We keep RvP and we've taken a big step forwards already with the addition of two Arteta type signings. Let RvP go and it's a big step backwards. It still all comes down to RvP staying.

M'Vila deal is off, probably because the chavs are now interested.

We still need a DM and attacking midfielder. Ben Arfa...

Arsenal are reportedly lining up a £10million bid for Atletico Madrid forward Adrian Lopez, as speculation about Robin van Persie's future continues to grow.

The Gunners skipper is still to agree terms for a new contract to replace the one that expires in 2013 and Manchester City are rumoured to be ready to spend £20million to land the Dutchman.

It now appears Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is searching for a new frontman, despite having already signed Germany international Lukas Podolski from Cologne.
His target is Atletico's rising star Adrian, reports Spanish newspaper AS.
The Gunners are apparently prepared to pay £10million for the 24-year-old, but the Madrid club will hold out for the full £14.5million stipulated in the buyout clause of his contract.
Arsenal scouts watched Adrian in action on ten occasions last season and Wenger is said to be a big admirer of him.
He has impressed since joining Atletico from Deportivo La Coruna 12 months ago and played an important role in his new club's Europa League success.
His performances also caught the eye of Spain coach Vicente del Bosque and Adrian made his full international debut in May, although he was not included in the 23-man squad for Euro 2012.

We'll need not just another striker but a £40mill to £50mill top quality signing to replace RvP. That won't happen so where we're going if he leaves is backwards at an alarming pace. Losing our captain yet again would make us the biggest laughing stock in world football. A club pretending to be among the elite but in reality a feeder outfit with our noses pressed to the glass as our competitors wander past browsing for anything that takes their fancy. And if RvP ends up at camp gypo then we really have spelled out in letters a hundred feet tall our total capitulation. Nobody has any real details yet by the sound of it, it's all speculation. But it's a major concern he hasn't signed. He could have done it easily enough if his intention to stay coincided with our determination to keep him. One or the other (or both) those things must have come up short. It's such a rare thing to have a player who can genuinely pull a result out of the fire. RvP did that on many occasions last season and pulled our arse out of the fire. I don't see Podolski and Giroud being capable in that respect, certainly strong additions and a step on from dross like Chamakh and Bendtner, but they aren't game changers. We'll rely on Jack making a 100% recovery and Ox stepping up to levels way beyond any reasonable expectation to provide the real class in our team. A massive gamble to put it mildly. RvP must stay or next season is over before it begins.
