has now announced that he will only decide his future after Euro 2012. Giroud currently plays for
the French Champions Montpellier and has an excellent total of 86 appearances and 39 goals for the

Dusan Tadic, only to return to the [.
Arsene Wenger could face competition from Tottenham and Newcastle, but can easily afford the
reported fee of £6 million for Ibrahim Afellay. 26-year old Dutch international Afellay is being

season with Barcelona, he made 29 [.
Don't Rule Out Lucas Biglia – By JG I know some fans are practically slitting their wrists to see
Arsenal sign Yann M'Vila but come on, he's not the only player that would help strengthen the

banged in goals for fun at every [.

Arsenal in recent weeks have become the bookies' favourites to land hard-tackling Rennes midfielder

graduate.
Arsenal target Oli Giroud linked to Fenerbahce by AW Continuing in their rich tradition of scouring

Chelsea have already earned the bragging rights in London this summer with the news that Eden

There are conflicting stories coming out of today's Sunday papers. As posted earlier The Mirror has

considered to be one of the best defenders in Italy, being compared to Cristian Chivu in his early
years of football.
Fulham's outstanding player and top scorer, 29-year old Clint Dempsey, is nit the sort of player
normally associated with Arsenal, but I think he could add something to the Gunners strike force.

Arsene Wenger with an alternative when the passing game [.

How much world class talent are we missing? y Richard B. I have always found it funny how stories

happens [.
There are quite a few Arsenal rumours building up in the media at the moment, but there seems to be
