yayArsenal are reported to be in "advanced negotiations" with French club Rennes over the signature of midfielder Yann M'Vila. It is thought the 21-year-old French international, who has been capped 18 times by his country, could set the Gunners back around £22m.

Thanks Cripps! Hadnt seen any updates here recently and was beginning to worry!Originally Posted by Ach
Was thinking about this signing before seeing your post and I believe he could be very good for us. Can see him in the midfield playing alongside Song when it is time to man up!
Or if we were only playing one strongen then would give us a good choice to choose from. I have seen a little but not a lot and he seems to know how to oass and could no doubt attack more effectively than Ramsey even tho he plays DM. We lost two big money signings this year, at 22mil this guy is as big as we can expect to get but with iPod costing only 10 and dross to be shed we should have plenty
I say go for it
We're always linked with so many highly-rated youngsters... Then sign somebody like Chamahk instead.
M'Vila would be as good as signing as we can get IMHO. He's young, but fairly experienced in as much as being a regular in the French National team, he's very highly rated in France and to a lesser degree in Europe.
From what I've seen of him he looks like a top tier talent, very strong, mobile and an excellent passer, more short passing than long.
I think this story has legs, if we don't move for him now we'll be priced out of a move for him after Euro 2012. He already has the likes of Real & Inter Milan looking at him but prefers us due to Wenger.
He would be a great signing IMHO
He'll go to Italy.
He will do if we do our usual haggling and pauper act but...I think we've already done the groundwork on M'Vila last summer so are in the driving seat.
He won't cost 22million like what's being reported, he's a 15million pound player maximum IMHO.
Never seen M'Vila play but he seems to be quite highly rated. Would be a good competition for Song.
Pretty much, would be good to see song working even harder knowing he could be dropped.
....'best manager in the league' - quote SWAYRbut prefers us due to Wenger.
Seems we are trying to get it all done early doors so we can actually have a full pre-season as a squad, that's at least better than last seasons debacle.
If we have indeed already signed Podolski and are trying to get the M'vila deal done now as well i wonder if we are working as hard to clear the poop deck of deadwood as well.
