Todays Arsenal tranfer rumors!


Eden Hazard is linked to Arsenal
Samir Nasri have told several newspapers that he is close from finhising a deal with manchester city and that he leaves Arsenal with anger, but the statements came from a fake facebook profil. Although the statements came from a fake facebook-profil evrything suggest that Nasri will leave the club this tranfer window.

Arsene Wenger looks after a replacement of Nasri/Fabregas, and his favorit seems to be the Belgian offensive midtfielder Eden Hazard. Lille have set the price for the amazing talent to be £ 26 mill. Only 3 million more than the price for Samir Nasri is. The 19-year old player is fast and have an extraordinary tecnique.

Arsene Wenger says it is a gamble to sign Campbell, but of what they seen of him it is a gamble worth taking. He continues with that he is a talent that can play left, right or central.

Decisive match in Udine


UEFA Champions League Play-Off,Arsenal v Udinese,Theo WalcottArsenal won a 1-0 victory in a close match against Udinese in the firsth leg of the play-off matches to Champions League. Arsenal started best and with Theo Walcott fabioulos goal after Aaron Ramsey's crose into the near post, Arsenal took the lead. Gervinho could, or maybe should, given Arsenal a second goal only 5 minutes after Arsenal firsth goal in the 4th minute.

The result dose not reflect the match pretty good. Yes, Arsenal could have scored a second goal already in the start of the match, but Udinese had plenty of opportunities to equalized the score. Udinese was close, but they missed there chance to take advantage of an away goal. The fact that Udinese do not have this away goal makes the match in Udine much more exiting.

Arsenal will have a fare, but not easy, task to reach the group stage in Champions League.

Arshavin admits that if Arsenal loses Fabregas and Nasri it would be a huge setback

He says to the Russian newspaper Sport Express that he thinks nothing can stop Fabregas and Nasri from leaving the club. He also admits that it would make the season very difficult, and even more difficult when the other team has bought good reinforcements. He makes it clear that the main focus is to win something this year after six years without trophies.

Fabregas almost ready for Barcelona?

According to several sorces, example BBC, Fabregas finally seems to complete the move to Barcelona. It is belivied that Arsenal will get a total fee up to £40 million. If the tanfer completes it will be the ending of one of the longest tranfers sagas.

Its not the firsth time Fabregas is "almost ready for Barcelona" so the only thing we can do is to wait and see what that happen.

Many arsenal fans means that it will not damage Arsenal to lose Fabregas, because he plays with his thoughts another place than in London. They think its bether to get the money and buy a new player that is willing to fight all they have for Arsenal.

Arshavin maybe injured after International friendly

Andrey Arshavin played for Russia against Serbia, a match that ended 1-0 to Russia. Andrey was close to send Russia in the lead after 13 minutes but the Serbian goalkeeper Bojan Jorgacevic manage save the shoot with a superb save.

Unfortunately for Arsenal Andrei was forced out with a knock. We do not know have searious this injury is, but it seemed that the Premier League start not is in danger

Arsenal fans starting to be impatient

Manchester United and Chelsea dominated last years Premier League, they have anyway reinforced there squads. Chelsea with Romelu Lukaku(anderlecht), Oriol Romeu(barcelona) and Thribaut Courtois(genk). Even though Van der Saar and Paul Scholes is lost for United, mean I that they have a bether squad than last year with three good new players in Ashley Young, Phil Jones and David De Gea (maybe Nasri...).

Liverpool played really impressive after Kenny Daglish become manager in January, they have bought Stewart Downing (Aston Villa),Alexander Doni (Roma), Charlie Adam (Blackpool), Jordan Henderson (Sunderland). Inclusive Suarez and Carroll they bought in January they have a team that will be in the top of the table as opposed to the two last years. It was just fantastic to see Liverpool in the bottom of the tabel, but now it is just to realize that they will be in the top 6.

City looks really dangerous this year after signing Costel Pantilimon (Politehnica Timisoara), Sergio Aguero (Athletico Madrid), Stefan Savic (FK Partizan) and Gael Clichy (Arsenal).

Arsenal have just sign Gervinho who can be important this season. Jenkinson and Chamberlain is coming stars, but they will not help especially this year. The Arsenal fans begins to be frustrated and means that Wenger have no choice to buy at least to established players before the tranfer window closes. Some begins to doubt that Wenger is the right man to Arsenal. It is hosting a fall no doubt among fans that the squad today is not good enough for medal in premier league.




Miyachi ready to play for Arsenal in England!

Miyachi have finally get permittion to work in England so he can play games for Arsenal in England. He have played all the pre-season matches outside England and have imperssed many in those matches.

Wenger was very satisfied and said: "This is almost like a new signing for us, he is an extraordinary
talent".

Lets hope he have an amazing season!

Go Gunners!

Barcelonas interest in fabregas might be reduced

Fabregas is included in Arsenal's play off squad against Udinese in Champions League. If Fabregas plays this match Barcelona can not use him in the international tournaments. Arsenal firsth play off match against Udinese is August 16, it means that if Barcelona wants to use him in Champions League they need to buy him before that game.

Nasri is also includedin Arsenals Champions League squad, but he is suspended from the firsth leg. That means that United or City have bether time to bring Nasri to the club.

The second leg against Udinese is August 24, the tranfer window ends the night to September 1
