Selling Van Der Vaart? Erm

by **Derbyblue** Sun 8 May - 21:41

I highly doubt they will actually do that, it would be pretty much saying we no longer want to get into Europe, but everyone has a price and someone may offer a lot of money.

Arsenal are in bad need of centre backs although Jones is young and unproven which isn't what Arsenal need.

Aston Villa keeper Brad Friedel could be a target for Midlands rivals West Brom after Baggies' stopper Scott Carson and understudy Boaz Myhill failed to impress new manager Roy Hodgson.

The players Mourinho bought at old clubs moving to his current club rumours are getting a bit old now, they hardly ever happen Carvalho I think is the only one who has done. Kaka and money for Lampard seems to be a poor move to me. Also not sure Drogba is worth it has been poor this season just 13 goals from 45 appearances, and buying him would probably move Ronaldo back onto the wing which would be strange when he's been in such good goalscoring form this season.

I think in the Arsenal cases, they would be better off selling Clichy, but signing Gibbs and Nasri to longer deals depending on the price they can still by Götze and then may be he could come in as a replacement for Fabregas in the future?

I'm not sure it would be a good move getting rid of Carson and Myhill, Friedel is a great keeper but he can't have long left in his career so they should keep one for when he eventually has to retire, either that or they need to sign another keeper to be his back-up unless they have someone coming up through the youth ranks.

They do need some good experienced centre-backs who know how to defend set pieces, would also expect to see Squillaci or Koscielny leaving.

I think a lot of teams would like to get a player like Palacios, but it is an area Spurs are pretty strong in, and the money could be useful elsewhere so it's understandable why they could be looking to sell.

Chelsea have been in need of right backs for years, they seem to buy one every year.

I think a lot of people would have said similar things about Rooney a few years ago, but if you work hard enough you can learn (in that he has developed his heading ability a lot in recent years), plus with the amount of money Real spend on the midfield they shouldn't be going longball any time soon.

Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner, frustrated at a lack of first-team action, is to discuss his future with manager Arsene Wenger, while Andrey Arshavin, Gael Clichy, Denilson, Carlos Vela, Manuel Almunia and Abou Diaby could all leave as well.
Full story: Daily Mirror

if this happens ill be a very very happy man. means he'll actually have to go buy people

by **Derbyblue** Tue 10 May - 9:34

That's a lot of players leaving Arsenal, if Denilson and Diaby leave then there is surely no chance of Fabregas leaving for anything under a ridiculous amount he isn't worth. QPR want Chamakh so surely him, Bendtner and Vela can't all leave, or you'll only have Van Persie.

I would also say if that list is all true nando then that is probably too many players leaving in one transfer window, would be very hard to find quality replacements for all of them, some you do have within the club but most you don't and you still need a centre back.

That's probably not too bad a signing so far this year 10 appearances and 6 goals and at the age of 24 he could be with you for a long time, but then looking at his stats he's not normally too regular a goalscorer, still all depends on the price I guess.

Transfer Tales: Klose, Green, Best, CMS, Given
Today's rumours are feeling pretty good about themselves but just wish they knew more about Fraser Forster...

Paul Lambert will make the most of his German connections to sign Miroslav Klose (32-years-old, 61 goals in 107 international appearances) on a Bosman once his Bayern Munich contract expires.

He could be partnered up front by Newcastle's Leon Best, whose name was doing the Twitter and messageboard rounds yesterday afternoon and evening or Arsenal's Jay Emmanuel-Thomas, currently on loan at Cardiff.

2011 League One Apprentice of the Year (don't get too excited, Tom Adeyemi won that last year) Dale Jennings is also said to be on Lambert's shopping list, along with Peterborough goal machine Craig Mackail-Smith, who scored 33 goals in 55 heading into the League One play-offs.

Out of contract Leeds midfielder Neil Kilkenny is also on the radar, as is Dagenham's highly-rated Danny Green, also a target for Leeds and Peterborough according to Sky Sports.

There may be no Fraser Forster-related rumours today but fear not - Shay Given will join on loan for the season instead.

Cody McDonald wants to stay at Gillingham, and City may have competition from Blackpool to sign Dani Pacheco. Ian Holloway is apparently prepated to pay Liverpool £3million for the Spaniard, provided they maintain their Premier League status

Don't see Nasri being interested in going to Germany think he would only leave for an elite team like Real, Barca, Man U, Chelsea or maybe a Milan club although I think Italy is doubtful as well.

Baines would be a great signing for Arsenal he's better than Clichy who they should get out the door along with a large number of that squad.

Juan Mata is an exceptional talent. Great feet, trickery, pace, power and can score goals from the wide area. I can only see them going for him if they sell Nani though they need to strengthen other parts of their squad first.

Sunderland are closing in on Blackpool ace David Vaughan, who is a free agent at the end of the season.

West Brom are to make a £4million bid for Fulham striker Andy Johnson.

Kaka still £50 mil for basically doing nothing since he joined, that's having a laugh.

Mata is quality, though I see only City as his destination in Manchester to link back with Silva.

Think City would be a better bet. He would cost £30m+ don't see United spending that as they have Nani and Valencia, he's to good to be a squad player.

I can't see Kaka going anywhere but either Milan on loan.

I wouldn't expect him to go to Inter Milan, but then again I fell for it when he said his dream was to spend his whole career at AC Milan and earn the captaincy. Also his family are moving to London, so a move to a Premier League club would make it easier for him to see them.
