TH14 wants to come home!
Henry spent eight successful years at Arsenal after Wenger signed him from Juventus back
in 1999.
At the time Henry was a winger and, after an unsuccessful year spent at Juve, eyebrows were raised
when Wenger splashed out £11m to sign the France international.
CESC FABREGAS has pleaded with boss Arsene Wenger to sign a midfield hardman.
Arsenal skipper Fabregas misses tough-tackling Mathieu Flamini who quit the Gunners last summer
for AC Milan and has not been replaced.
Every year Premiership managers conspire to spend millions of pounds on exotic sounding foreign
players whose names have never graced the screens of an English TV. Last year it was Marouane
Fellaini, a £15 million signing for Everton. And what's more, his tough tackling, willingness to
play ludicrously out of position, and even more ludicrous haircut have made the Premiership a
better place over the last twelve months.
Hi everyone hope you've had good weeks up to this point and will be looking forward to the
Celtic game tonight to probably see a few young guns in action.
But what has caught my eye today is a few journalists predicting Arsenal to be in action on
transfer deadline day and throughout the week prior to it, I'll explain:
The Dail Mirror's Football Spy
From his insider knowledge or it could be what he just made up he is predicting 2 Arsenal moves
in the last week of the transfer window:
Blaise Matuidi
This story has ran for ages and you all know who he is by now so I won't bother with huge
details but he's a Defenesive Midfielder with a great talent.
It has been reported in various newspapers today and web columns (especially on the Daily Mail)
that Arsene Wenger will finally make his interest in Brazilian star Felipe Melo de Carvalho,
currently of Fiorentina in the form of a bid.
Arsene Wenger has tracked the star for about 3 years now and lost out last season to Fiorentina
who signed the Brazil international for £10 million euros from Almeria the Spanish side.
Former Premier League man may make welcome return this summer.
The Rumour
ARSENAL boss Arsene Wenger is in talks with Stuttgart midfielder
.
The Gunners manager wants to add experience to his side and the former Aston Villa star fits the
bill.
Hitzlsperger, 27, is out of contract next year but Stuttgart will do a deal at around
£5million.
A selection of talent from Arsenal, Liverpool, Tottenham, Manchester United, Chelsea, Everton,
Stoke City, Burnley, Sunderland and Aston Villa who should get more in the way of plaudits.
Yossi Benayoun (Liverpool)
A player who only seems to get his chance when someone is out injured or badly off form.
Please Arsene, make him leave!

Anyone who has read my previous articles will know that I do not, at least not very often, lay
into any member of the Gunners squad.
Arsene Wenger agreed a £10million deal for Ajax centre-back Thomas Vermaelen yesterday but is
still unsure about who will partner him at the heart of Arsenal's defence next season.
Though his agent Soren Lerby was still negotiating personal terms last night, Vermaelen seems
certain to sign a four-year contract at The Emirates after convincing the Arsenal manager he has
the credentials to shore up a defence that was repeatedly found wanting last season.
Let's hope his finishing is better than his poor attempt at lying!
Blanc and Chamakh in happier times!
Marouane Chamakh is reportedly in London to discuss a move to Arsenal and has hit out at
current employers Bordeaux.
The 25-year-old Moroccan international is a target for both Arsenal and Sunderland and is
apparently in London as the Gunners edge closer to securing a deal for the talented striker.
For any of you finance gurus out there, I'm sure Equifax is a name you're extremely familiar with.
For the rest of you, Equifax is the company that is largely responsible for compiling credit scores
of both individuals and now Premiership clubs. After a recent review by Equifax, it was declared
that 50% of the clubs in the Premier League are "insolvent.
Football is a funny game - this is the sport where anything, and I mean
anything, can happen completely out of the blue. For example, no one ever imagined
that Brazilian star Ronaldinho, who was literally unstoppable not too long ago, would suddenly
become as anonymous as he is nowadays.
Latest Transfer Rumours... originally appeared on ø Soccer & Football Blog - Premiership News ø

This weekend's headlines were stolen by Emmauel Adebayor even before a ball was
kicked. Saturday morning, Adebayor finally lashed out at his former club Arsenal,
moments before the Gunners kicked-off a challenging visit to the
Eastlands.
I watched the infamous Arsene Wenger meets the shareholders Question and Answer session on
Arsenal TV the other day. I was sitting waiting for the vitriolic attacks on Silvestre (well
deserved, a liability), the criticism of Adebayor, Song and Diaby. I was looking forward to hear
what Arsene actually about these players.
Desperation creeping in as Serie A side tries hard to appease angry supporters!
Milan are planning to sign Arsenal star Cesc Fabregas, with Rossoneri club president
Silvio Berlusconi having given the move the go-ahead.
According to Tuttosport, vice president Adriano Galliani has a pre-agreement in place with
Berlusconi over the Spanish international, and Gunners coach Arsene Wenger has promised he will
sell Fabregas to the Italian giants.
So little time has been given to the silent helpless victim of that horrendous offence committed
by Arsene Wenger that led to him being ordered to the stands. Today we reveal the identity of the
poor victim of the Old Trafford incident. (How the hell can a manager be sent off for kicking a
plastic container, insane)!
Manchester City are spending their way into the Premier League top four. Paradoxically, the club
most amenable to their ambition is Arsenal, whom they wish to supplant. The Gunners sold City
striker Emmanuel Adebayor for £25m. Less than two weeks later, they are prepared to sell them
defender Kolo Toure for another £14m, as the 28-year-old Ivorian has been turned by the £100,000
per week wage offer.
Arsene Wenger is my hero of the day. Yep, I said it. I, a Manchester United fan, hearts Arsene
Wenger. Who knew he had a sense of humour? The Arsenal manager was sent off by referee Mike Dean
after he kicked a water bottle in protest over Robin van Persie's disallowed goal in injury-time in
the 2-1 [.
Today has been quite a day for news stories reporting Arsenal FC; there has been transfer news,
Wenger's quote's about various issues and stupid newspaper columnists sledging us over and over
again. But let's calm down.
News reports on Huntelaar
It has been clear knowledge for a day now that Huntelaar is not keen on a mover to Stuggart even
though Real have agreed a fee.
Wenger makes another move for impressive French youngster.
Arsene Wenger has made a fresh move for St Etienne midfielder Blaise Matuidi after
fearing Cesc Fabregas is facing an injury lay-off.
Arsenal captain Fabregas, 22, faces a race to be fit for Saturday's trip to Manchester United
and could be out for up to three weeks with a hamstring injury.
Arsenal Boss Wenger and Sir Alex appear to have become the best of friends.
Manchester United manager Sir Alex Ferguson has backed Uefa's decision to ban Arsenal
striker Eduardo for two Champions League matches for diving.
The Croatia forward was found guilty of deceiving referee Manuel Gonzalez to win a penalty
against Celtic in August.
Any player who is successful in the Premier League earns praise, money, and a
rumoured move to one of the classier clubs in Europe. Cesc
Fabregas is no exception, and he has been linked with a move away from the
Emirates for some time now.
Getting better all the time.
A lot was made about the horrific challenge Robin Van Persie received during Arsenal's defeat at
Man City but the Dutchman also put away a very typical finish that illustrated just how instinctive
and lethal he can be in front of goal, he then went on to close on two or three more occasions as
the game to a close and further showed why, now in his sixth season at the north London club, he
may be hitting his best form, the form that could well get the Gunners purring again.
The club currently has five international strikers plus two more forwards who will be more
comfortable playing as a striker. Is it time we re-assessed our strike force and attacking
midfielders and played players in their rightful positions?
Carlos Vela will develop into a good striker, whether he becomes a scoring
sensation in the Premier League is questionable.
A huge improvement shown by this trio.

If I hear another so called 'footballing expert' lament at how Arsene Wenger hasn't effectively
replaced Patrick Vieira then I will either a) pour the contents of the nearest septic tank over the
misinformed fool or b) place a DVD of our last two matches to him.
Arsenal are set to unveil their first signing of the summer after the club agreed a fee for
Cheltenham's promising youngster Jamie Edge. The 15-year-old midfielder has been on Arsene Wenger's
radar for some time and recently returned from an under-16 tournament in Italy where he represented
the Gunners against some of Europe's elite teams.

Well this is not even a Photoshop job! Someone actually did this to their car and Wenger posed at
the back of it..maybe he is a fan of caricature art? I'm sure Arsenal fans will find this picture
offensive in someway...so I'm leaving the captions up to you The Prof seems to be happy with his
mini-me, as [.
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is unhappy with Manchester City boss Mark Hughes over the Emmanuel
Adebayor stamp on Robin van Persie incident last weekend. Hughes insisted that there was no malice
intention from striker but the FA has filed a charge for violent conduct. The Frenchman said, "You
ask 100 people, 99 will say it's very [.
With Felipe Melo out of the picture, Arsene Wenger is now hoping to swoop for Cana. Lorik Cana's
future continues to attract plenty of speculation, with Arsenal now rumoured to be interested.
Having missed out on Felipe Melo, Arsene Wenger is desperate to land a new defensive midfielder.
According to The Daily Express, he has now turned [.
It doesnt really get funnier than this... But what was the old boy really saying to the Old

series [.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger originally sent his scouts to Ajax to look at centre-half Thomas
Vermaelen, and his £10m raid ended up pretty well.

said: "I was [.
So Arsène Wenger has done it again. Not content with making one big money,
straight-to-first-team signing this year, he has gone and produced another.
The need for a new centre half at the Emirates has been well documented (and slightly
exaggerated if you ask me) of late, with Kolo Touré's alarming loss of form, William Gallas'
injury and temperament issues, and Mikaël Silvestre's.

Persie.
Arsene Wenger's slide into dementia continues after an outrageous attack on Manchester United
midfielder, Darren Fletcher. The Arsenal creche manager claimed that United only play Fletcher in
order for him to commit fouls on the pitch and play "anti-football." Wenger's outburst was in
response to answering questions about his teams recent defeat to United, where he said [.
