Hey, what happened to all the Man Utd fans who were complaining because their team wasn't #1? The
Soccer Source ranking committee once again proved its mettle with the choice of Chelsea, which is
suddenly not looking very controversial after Blues saw off Man. City Saturday.
According to this source Arsene will have to hold out until the season ends before capturing this
combative midfielder. Don't forget to check out Online Football Manager! Arsenal will have to wait
until next summer before they can land Sporting Lisbon's £16million-rated midfield star Miguel
Veloso.
Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger named his youngest ever team for Tuesday evening's third round
Carling Cup clash with Championship side Sheffield United. Wales Under-21 midfielder Aaron Ramsey,
16-year-old Jack Wilshere, reserve team captain Gavin Hoyte, Kieran Gibbs and Mark Randall all
started, while first-year scholar Emmanuel Frimpong, also 16, and Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, 17, were on
[.
It seems that Arsene is about to say goodbye to wantaway striker Emmanuel Adebayor but is he about
to say hello to his replacement? Arsenal could be placed on red-alert by the news that Holland
striker Klaas Jan Huntelaar has failed to agree a new contract with Ajax. The Gunners may turn
their attentions to the highly-rated [.
Its getting more and more likely that Togo Twat Adebayor is going to remain an Arsenal player. I
hope that he apologises for the shit he's given us Gooners but I doubt very much we will hear
one.
He owes Arsenal, Arsene and us Gooners for the amount of crap we've had to deal with over the
summer.
Whilst the players have been going through their paces in Austria, Arsene Wegner has been going
through his book of possible midfielders to bring to the club. Having seen the paucity of
players available to him, the Arsenal manager must be regretting allowing Lassana Diarra to leave
in January. Wenger would like to bring someone in [.

Kevin Keegan's bid was not totally rejected which will come as a surprise to many! Don't forget to

Senderos, increasing the growing tension .
This source suggests that Arsene is going to approach arch-rivals Manchester United for one of
their longest-serving players! Why not join the debate at the COS forum? Manchester United defender
Mikael Silvestre was last night on the verge of an astonishing move to bitter rivals Arsenal. The
31-year-old France international had appeared to .
Some believe that Wenger is still to effectively replace Gilberto and Flamini and, if that is the
case, then the player Arsene is closing in on should work wonders! Don't forget to check out Online

A long-admired target of Arsene's is now available, what will happen next..... French international
Lilian Thuram says several clubs are chasing his signature, but he has not yet decided his future.
Paris Saint Germain are interested in signing the World Cup winner, who is a free agent after
spending two seasons with Barcelona.
Morning all. Sorry I haven't been updating as recently as I'd like, I've just been really busy
lately.
So Samir Nasri hasn't been officially signed yet, which makes my prediction from two days ago
wrong. I'm positive he will sign though, but I am going to stop predicting when. I would assume it
will be this week but every other time anyone has guessed it's turned out to be wrong so I'll just
wait until it's officially announced.
This Spanish international is said to be close to a move to the Premier League with Juande Ramos
and Arsene Wenger very keen to sign the Real Madrid man. Arsenal, Tottenham and Aston Villa could
soon be locked in a three-way fight for Real Madrid midfielder Ruben de la Red. The ...
This coming season I believe that Theo Walcott will show the reason Le Boss signed him. It has
taken him a while to settle with Arsenal but for me he is finally ready.
He hasn't set the world on fire at the Emirates. He seems to blow hot and cold and can sometimes be
a little frustrating to watch.
After missing out on top transfer targets Xabi Alonso and Gokhan Inler last night, at least Arsene
Wenger signed up promising youngsters Mark Randall and Keiran Gibbs on new contracts. The pair
arrived at the Emirates in 2006 and after impressing in their first year with the Gunners they went
on to sign professional terms in [.
This source suggests that Arsene is looking to help ease his midfield concerns by beating rivals
Everton to this top notch international. Don't forget to check out Online Football Manager! Arsenal
are ready to join Premier League rivals Everton in the race to sign Cameroon International Stephane
M'Bia from Ligue 1 side .
Midfield maestro Cesc Fabregas believes he will have to raise his game after the performances of
Arsenal's young guns on Tuesday night. Arsene Wenger used a squad with an average age of just 19
for the Carling Cup clash with Sheffield United at the Emirates, but still saw his talented men put
in a masterclass display [.
Rumor has it that Everton defender Joleon Lescott is on Arsene Wenger's radar. However, the Arsenal
manager has stated that he is unlikely to splash out any cash in the January transfer window.
Arsenal are without defenders Kolo Toure and Emmanuel Eboue for much of January and February due to
the African Cup of Nations and a recent injury to Toure may rule the central defender out for a
longer period of time.
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger goes head-to-head with Newcastle saviour Kevin Keegan over the latest
young talent impressing at the Euro's... Arsenal and Newcastle have been informed that the
valuation for Arda Turan has increased following his outstanding recent performances for Turkey.
Galatasaray now value him at £16 million.
Just what we needed. The man I've been wanting to captain this team for the new season contracted
malaria over the summer in the Ivory Coast. He was feeling a little weakness during the training
camp in Austria and was taken to the hospital for a check up, and they discovered...wait for
it...that he has contracted the deadly disease.
According to this source, Arsene is opting to let one of his young starlets leave the club on a
loan deal which will lead to a permanent exit from the north London side. Why not join the debate

Wenger is frequently misquoted (once or twice by yours truly as well) but this is a royal cockup.
Arsene was asked about UEFA's plan to propose to the EU that football clubs that run on an
operating deficit or those who are unable to pay wages based on their current revenues and have to
finance [...
It is deadline day and Arsene is slowly running out of time to sign that elusive holding
midfielder. A centre back or winger would also be rather nice. My mail is that Borussia Dortmund's
Sebastian Kehl could be on his way to the Emirates although BvB are very reluctant to sell. It is
sure to be [..
First things first I would like to express my condolences to the family of Alphonse Wenger, the
Boss' father, who passed away earlier this week. Arsene and his family attended his funeral
yesterday in Wenger's home town of Strasbourg. RIP Alphonse. Arsenal make the trip to the Ukraine
for their opening fixture of the Champions [.
Arsenal striker Emmanuel Adebayor has today admitted he is eager for a move away from the club,
with rumoured interest from AC Milan. The Gunners top scorer last season, is just one of many
players in the Arsenal ranks who have or want to leave the club this summer. (Daily Telegraph)
Adebayor, 24, joined the club back in 2006 from French side Monaco.
Speculation reported by France 2 is that Domenech will get the sack on July 3, 2008. Here are the
candidates they've heard touted to take over: Didier Deschamps, Jean Tigana, Laurent Blanc, and
Arsene Wenger. My dear French wife, who only had a passing interest in Euro 2008, and only got
By Aries Arsene was commentating for TV when he saw Cesc Fabregas step up to take the last and
decisive penalty for his country. He admitted later that he prayed for the young maestro who sent
Casillas the wrong way to earn Spain a place in the Semi Finals. "It was a great
responsibility, especially as he is not a specialist in this area.
This summer, as I'm sure you're aware at this very moment, has revolved mostly around Arsenal
players going to other clubs. Hleb and Adebayor in particular.
So it was with great interest that I saw a story emerge yesterday with direct quotes from Adebayor
saying how he was going to stay at Arsenal, and that money wasn't everything and blah blah fucking
blah.
Morning all. I've been out of town all weekend so sorry for no blog but I had no computer. I'm sure
you all survived. If you didn't, then you wouldn't be able to read this anyway.
So while I was away it doesn't appear I missed all that much, so today I've decided to cover
possibly the most controversial comments of the whole transfer season (and that's saying something.
And it doesn't sound like he gives a toss about him leaving either. Hleb was unveiled at Barcelona
yesterday formally, and I'm happy to see him go. As I said yesterday I think Nasri, Walcott, Vela,
and Rosicky (if healthy) are all better assets to have on the wing than the Hlebanator. Arsene
thanked him for his service but didn't seem too upset:
'We must firstly thank Alex for his contribution towards Arsenal during his time with
us.
Good morning to you, another week has flown by, eh?
There's plenty of Arse action coming up this weekend as the Emirates Cup takes place with games
against Juventus and Real Madrid. Certainly a good test for the squad and, with the games on TV, a
chance for us to have a proper look at the likes of Vela and Nasri, and to assess the rest of the
lads in terms of fitness etc.
Well, on one level, it at least gives us a chance to look at this rather nauseating picture
again.
Mmm. Badge.
I suppose it also signifies that Arsene, and the Arsenal hierarchy, are serious about wanting to
keep him at the club, and that they're willing to improve his wages to achieve this.
Arsene Wenger doesn't make too many mistakes in the transfer market - if he's not moulding
tomorrow's stars from unknowns, he's letting big names go before anyone else knew they were past
their best.

We'll start this morning with the news that the Aaron Ramsey signing was officially announced
last night.
We got the usual stuff from Arsene about how happy he was to sign a player who can play in
midfield, at the back, up front, in goal, do ballboy, physio, tea-lady, write the match programme
and be a steward.
A few bits and pieces to keep us going this morning.
I suppose we'll start with the Amaury Bischoff thing. According the player he's going to join us
to play in the reserves having failed to make a single start for Werder Bremen in his time at the
German club. I think much of that was due to injury rather than ability.
As Liverpool's interest in this star performer appears to have reached a stalemate, Arsene enters
the race in an attempt to beat Rafa to the punch. Aston Villa boss Martin O'Neill has confirmed
that Arsenal have hinted they may enter the race to sign midfielder Gareth Barry. Over the weekend,
The .
By 1970's Gooner Boro Primorac is considered to be Arsene's "real" right hand man as far
as strategy and tactics are concerned. Wenger did after all take him to Japan as his second in
command when he managed Grampus Eight there. He usually sits behind Wenger looking serious and
quiet and he does not usually speak much.
This source is suggesting that Arsene is about to choose between a midfield threesome as he looks
to fill some vacant slots in his squad. Why not join the debate at the COS forum? Arsenal desperate
for a midfielder to shore up what is clearly an area of concern have identified three ...
Alright I'm back. Went to Tampa for the past like five days for the girlfriend's 21st birthday, and
I've come back to quite a shocker...Arsenal have signed Mikael Silvestre from Manchester United.
Yes, I'm serious. And I'm frankly astonished. Yes, I've been saying we need a new defender all
summer, but this wasn't what I had in mind.
