So it's transfer season, and everyone is in a tizzy with rumors of whether Cesc Fabregas and Samir Nasri are going to stay or go, when Clichy, Bendtner and Denilson will say good-bye, and who may or may not be coming to Arsenal to be our saviour with the required mental strength, leadership desire.

Here we are, just a week after Martin said his goodbyes, and now I will be saying goodbye too. This will be my last post here at Arsenal Offside.

I almost don't know what to say. I'm not very good with goodbyes, so I'll try to keep things short. I basically came to this blog like the rest of you, as a fan and a frequent contributor to the comments section.

I'm baaaaaaack. Naw, just kidding Homey and the others who have swooped in to take over the site haven't been entered into the system yet, so I told them I could put up their posts as a short term solution. And since I'm doing it, I'll go ahead and throw up a gratuituous plug check out my first real post over at my new site, Martin on Mondays.

As the transfer rumour season gets under way, the press is busy slaughtering us for our lack of activity.
Well let's look at what has happened so far.

Liverpool have spent £20M on an England u-21 international, a player who is not as good as either Wilshere or Ramsey, so what did they expect us to do, spend money for the sake of spending money?

Sunday, Sunday, the red tops are full of more rumours and transfer stories, so much contradiction it makes you want to scream.

The People are reporting that Samir Nasri is not after £110K a week as previously reported but a staggering £160K a week. Well Samir if this is the case then it will be thanks for the memories but good-bye.

I am sticking with the publicized transfer kitty of £30million, although it's likely to include wages, so maybe I'll knock it down to £20million. For your information, http://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/en/?from=top_navi is a wonderful site to use as a ...

We're a little behind the times here at the Arsenal Offside, as we navigate the choppy transitional waters from The Martin/Sairax era to The Largely Unknown Jackasses era.

But finally, nine days after the fact, we have a post about the new Arsenal kit/shirts/jerseys/unis/whatever you prefer to call them.

In the 2010/11 season, Arsenal scored 72 goals in the Premier League, 21 goals in the Champions League, 12 goals in the FA Cup and 14 goals in the Carling Cup. That is a lot to choose from for a terribly indecisive person as myself. The list I came up with is subjective, but in general I kept in mind quality of the goal and its significance.

Arsenal striker Robin van Persie revealed that swapping shirts with Inter Milan's Ronaldo was one of the most important moments in his career. Speaking to Arsenal Player, the Dutchman went a decade back in time as ...

(Summary is not available.)

It looks like the Lille striker Gervinho has decided he is going to join Arsenal. The 24 year-old Ivory Coast international has just won the French Ligue 1 Championship and French Cup Double with Lille and has been linked with Arsenal, Liverpool and Newcastle United since the end of the season. But the reason I [.

In case you haven't noticed, there isn't always a whole lot for us to blog about on a regular basis. The preseason tour doesn't begin for a few more weeks, nothing of substance has officially happened in the transfer window yet, and the regular season is still over a month and a half away. But since we're new and still trying to make a go of it, we're doing the best we can to deliver fresh content.

There have been assorted Arsenal rumours that Andrei Arshavin was going to be sold this summer, but both the player and the manager have scuppered the idea of him leaving, but he thinks that Cesc Fabregas will not be returning to the Emirates after the summer break. Arshavin told the Russian magazine Sport: "My opinion [.

As usual during any transfer window there is the constant mutterings from Spain about Cesc Fabregas, and today's offering is from the Barcelona legend Johan Cruyff, who still works for the European Champions.

Don't believe all the crap you read by Anthony Armstrong As an Arsenal fan, this week has been a particularly depressing one.

According to a report this morning in L'Equipe, the Lille striker Gervinho has given Arsene Wenger his word that he will sign for Arsenal rather than accept a late attempt to hijack the deal. Lille had already refused a bid from Tottenham, and Liverpool were also reported to have made an offer for the Ivorian [.

There is a report today that states that the Russian side Zenit St. Petersberg are keen to bring back their prodigal son Andrei Arshavin to the Russian League. Arshavin arrived from Zenit to great fanfare two years ago, but his skills seem to have diminished after a brilliant opening season. There has been zero discussions [.

There is still no news from the Emirates about Gael Clichy's contract talks. There have been rumours that he has asked to be transferred but there has been no official confirmation from either side yet. As long as he hasn't signed a new contract then we will have to assume he will be sold this [...]

Great Potential For Next Season by Eddie Bingham After regularly hunting down various articles concerning Arsenal transfer updates and rumors, I have been made ever more hopeful at the prospect of finally filling that dusty trophy cabinet at the Emirates. And while my ideas for next season's starting XI go slightly against the typical Wenger [.

I've been getting frustrated with the coverage of the Samir Nasri contract situation over the last week or so, particularly around the vitriol directed at him for his stance in negotiating his new contract and/or move to another club. I don't doubt for a second that he has been somewhat ruthless in his approach, but I've not seen anything that he's said or done that has left me thinking 'ooo, that's a bit off'.
