Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Him and Sir Ches are both good enough to be number one tbh

Thats what we need. Competition for places.

Martinez as the young number 3. Fab and Al can piss off tbh

Agree, who's Martinez?

Our young number 3

[Marc Overmars]

No one has 2 keepers good enough to be number 1, so it wouldn't make sense to get Handanovic or anyone else. You don't rotate a goalkeeper like you can with someone outfield, a number 2 has to be content with his role of playing only 5-10 games a season depending on cup progress. Sir Chesney would fuck off in an instant if Wenger bought a number 1 and that would be a decision we'd really regret down the line.

Reports in Italy are linking Liverpool and Arsenal with Udinese duo Mehdi Benatia, 24, and Mauricio Isla, 23, but they face competition from Napoli.

Arsenal are also believed to be chasing Montpellier and France striker Olivier Giroud, who has also caught the eye of both Aston Villa and Newcastle United.

Will this Giroud Pub Teamer go to the Euros?

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Undoubtedly.

[Cripps_orig]

Will be good to see how he does

I assume Benzema and Remy will be their first choice strike pairing. Thats if they even play with 2 up front. Havent seen a France game since the laughs at the last world cup

ARSENAL are set to swoop for Toulouse centre-back Aymen Abdennour.

Boss Arsene Wenger has been trailing the £5million-rated Tunisian international for six months.

Gunners scouts watched the 22-year-old on Sunday as he inspired Toulouse to a 1-0 win at Rennes.

This one sounds like a realistic target, typical Wenger signing. The fact we're in the market for a CB, a back up one, suggests that Squid & possibly one of Djourou or Miguel will be moved on in the summer.

Didn't we just give Djourou a new contract?

Didn't we just give Djourou a new contract?

Yeah but I read somewhere that he had some kind of clause in his previous contract whereby when he played a certain amount of games a new contract could be negotiated, sounds a bit strange to me but I wouldn't put it past Arsenal to insert wierd & wacky clauses in players contracts like that.

Besides...if we view him as surplus to requirements at least we'll get a respectable figure for him now he has a long term contract....or maybe we won't if we've given him a large salary!!!
