Traore Stays, Merida Goes

Arsenal have apparently turned down Birmingham's bid to bring in Armand Traore on loan until the end of the season. For now. According to Alex McLeish, Wenger has said he won't make a decision on Traore until the end of the transfer window in August. I have to think that this may have something to do with Nasri's injury and Rosicky's set-back, which leaves us very thin on the left wing.
