- Forget Vidal: Midfield Star Reveals Talks With Wenger About Permanent Arsenal Role
- Arsenal clearout: Eight Gunners stars who MUST be sold this summer, including useless striker
- Updated: Gunners have bid rejected for world cup runner-up!
- Will Arsenal switch to Jackson Martinez after £29.4m Higuain bid is rejected?
- Arsenal given HUGE blow in race for Arturo Vidal
- Arsenal on the verge of signing The Foxes superstar!
- Premier League powerhouse confirms he wants to sign up with Arsenal
And that is just the start of the list on Goonernews this morning.
I particularly liked the writing of the word “huge” as HUGE just in case we don’t get it, and there is also a MUST in there I noticed. And one or Two Who Want To Start Each Word With A Capital Letter.
(I’ve just gone back to check I didn’t do that this morning).
But what about the news we have already had, like the fact that Arsène Wenger will spend lots of dosh on Juventus’ Arturo Vidal. It was so sure, it was CERTAIN, but now… Oh.
And as for Porto’s Jackson Martínez (mentioned above); that story was doing the rounds weeks ago. The striker has a £25m release clause in his contract, and we know ALL about release clauses from the Suarez affair. (We also know about lying toads as well).
The Portuguese paper Jornal de Notícias has claimed that a deal has already been agreed in principle, with Martínez’s personal terms yet to be thrashed out. So there it is.
And we haven’t really got to the Lyon pair Alexandre Lacazette and Nabil Fekir, and we could be about to launch a £60m raid to land the duo. I love “could be”. It means nothing minus nothing equals nothing. Squared.
According to the Star, (so it must be true) Arsenal sent poor old Steve Rowley to watch Lyon. Anyway Fekir a) doesn’t want to leave France and b) wants to go to child trafficking Barcelona.
But hey, “Jackson Martinez has agreed terms with Arsenal, according to reports in Portugal.” Wow we are there. It is in Jornal di Noticias
But we can forget other stuff. Tottenham to sign Schneiderlin, oh but no, Arsenal are now in pole position for a deal “that could be concluded soon after the season ends.”
Oh.
And just when I thought it couldn’t get sillier, try this
Theo Walcott or Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain? Who would Arsenal prefer to trade for Cech?
Or…
Reports have claimed Arsenal have reached a deal to sign up talented star Jeff Reine-Adelaide, according to the Daily Mail website.
He has been “tipped for big things in the game.”
And Arsenal are interested in signing in-form Lille defensive midfielder Idrissa Gueye in the summer transfer window for a fee of around £7m.
And
- Cech to Arsenal latest: Claims Chelsea star’s transfer to Gunners is ‘done deal’
Now why is “done deal” in inverted commas? Because it isn’t I suppose.
And as you can see we are now into the wild backlands of uncharted territory…
- Barcelona to make shock move for Arsenal ace Ramsey
- Arsenal On Alert As Lewandowski Clashes With Bayern Munich Teammates
- Arsenal have tabled contract offers to Saint Etienne midfielder Rayan Souici.
Arsenal on alert eh? As opposed to snoozing the rest of the time I suppose. We always though as much after see Mr W playing on the beach at the bent world cup.
By the way, did you know that every world cup (apart from 1966 of course) was fixed? More on that anon.
And an anniversary
6 June 1903: At the meeting which created Fulham Football and Athletic Club Company Limited, Henry Norris was elected the company’s first chairman. He took up the reigns at Arsenal in 1910, but did not break with Fulham until after the first world war following a dispute over the post-war cup match between Fulham and Arsenal.

Tony,
I’m sure I watched an interview where Flamini said he had 1 more season in his contract….
As usual, the press and blogs keep showing us how inept they are.
I only believe it if it’s in the Metro.
@Clockendrider. Transfermarkt says Flamini’s contract runs till July 2016! I hope we manage to sell him.
What a boring Saturday……… Crap.
No ARSENAL football. No fun.
Is there a way to fast forward time….
Arteta, an interesting one, I suspect he is being groomed, initially for a coaching role at the club, as well as being a useful player to have around if he can stay fit. I can just envisage him as Arsenal manager one day.
But the reality, none of us know anything. And as we all know on this site, no point in speculating until either it is on the official site, or we see Wenger on the beach in his speedos.
Forget about Schneiderlin , apparently he was being closely looked at with a fine thoothed comb by both the North London clubs , but once ,Manchester United showed interest , ‘his head was turned ‘.
It apparently turned so much that he is now facing the wrong way !
‘ Arsenal on the verge of signing The Foxes superstar!’
Are we talking about Jamie Vardy ? Finally we get a real Fox-in-the -box !
Oppss … too late , the hounds have got the scent ! We will not be able to afford him if he does well enough and prove these jokers wrong !

Can anyone explain this media love in with Benteke…..in contrast to the way they treat Giroud, who in my opinion, is the superior of the two. I may be missing something, but I just don’t get this hype on the Belgian, he is ok, but judging by the media enchantment with him, I would guess they know he is on his way to Spurs or Liverpool, or maybe he has a very good agent
ARSENAL 13 agree to that, but CL final tonight. Want to see how Barca play and devise how to beat them 🙂 hoping that Juv shows how 🙂
Fast forward?
I used to be able to dream what i wanted when i was young by thinking about it before falling asleep but it don’t work now.
Mandy, i am slowly getting to think they fear Giroud’s abilities and want to undermine his confidence. Giroud is starting to do things that i don’t expect or didn’t used to expect from a striker.
Anyway off to watch CL final, and book my place for next Year when it will be Arsenal 🙂
Mandy Dodd
Exactly. The media hype up anyone who may be going to either of them.
I mean, we all know how good the players where that they both splashed there ‘Windfalls’ on, at least right up until the moment they actually kicked a ball for them 😆
As for Giroud. The guy is class. Very strange the way he is so under rated.
Did I say strange?
Sorry, I meant to say the usual bullshit 🙂
No mention of young Miquel, the Spanish left back, of whom I had great hopes. Is he on loan somewhere? 😉
Miquel left us last year.
Brickfields, I think you’ll agree that looking at anything with a comb (toothed or otherwise) is a totally fruitless activity.
Para, ‘undermine Giroud’s confidence’? I seriously doubt anything will undermine Mons. Giroud’s confidence. Almost Bendtneresque, the big difference being Olivier is true class and can back up his confident attitude.
How many more days to football again?
@John,
Permanently? 😉
Flamini has told after the cup final (I think) that he has one more year in the club. I think he is surplus to requirements. He did a great job in 2013-14 though.
Arteta… Eh, there are only few players in Arsenal history that I like more than Arteta. He signed for Arsenal when we were going through the most difficult time during “the-tighten-belt”-era. Nasri left for big money, Fabregas betrayed his troops by crying his way to Barcelona, Wilshere picked an injury that forced him to miss whole season and Ramsey was still learning his trade. Our midfield was decimated. Arteta took a pay-cut to join Arsenal, imposed himself as a real midfield general and made people believe Alex Song is a great player by covering all holes Song would leave during the game. I’d love him to stay in the club at some capacity even if it’s visible his legs are gone. He’s been our best and most successful captain since Vieira.
Podolski… His finishing is immense but he is a square peg in a round hole. He is 30 and we should cash him in. His goal against Liverpool last season was probably the most important one he has scored for us.
Campbell is the one I’d like to keep. He actually reminds me of Coquelin at his beginning. Campbell has a lovely left foot (we don’t have too many of those in the attack), pace, work-rate and all he needs is confidence. Back in 2013 I wrote that melting Coquelin and Frimpong into one player would solve all our issues with defensive midfield. Now I think we would get a perfect forward by melting Campbell and Podolski into one player.
Miquel moved to Norwich. He doesn’t appear to have got many games there.
Ryo & Yaya ?
Josip , agree on Arteta, have a really strong feeling he will spend many years at the club in some capacity
