Arsenal's signings

agreed  ^^^
lets hope the board puts up some good money for wenger

Toure, Gallas, and Senderos are quality defenders, and our up and coming defenders are class, but they just don't have experience. Over the off-season I think Wenger needs to get one more top class defender.

By the way, when Rosicky signed for Arsenal last season, how long was it for? Because he is a great player and we need to keep him.

He is on a four year contract and he has publicly stated a couple of weeks ago that he wants to stay

Aliadiere has been sold to nexcastle or middlesbrough

Boro.

So now we have van Persie, Adebayor and Bendtner up front.

but no Henry

anelka on the way maybe

I would love to pick up Toress or Trezeguet.

Arsenal rejected Barcelona's Eto'o in Henry talks
Arsenal were offered Samuel Eto'o by Barcelona during negotiations on Friday over the sale of Thierry Henry, it has been revealed.

AS says Barca vice-president Ferran Soriano proposed a swap involving the Cameroon international, but Arsenal rejected the offer, insisting they were happy with the �16 million cash agreement and would go elsewhere to find Henry's replacement.

Barca's board are reportedly fed-up with Eto'o's attitude and outspoken ways and if they receive the right offer, they will sell the Cameroon striker this summer.

Thats whack!!! uncle steve2007-06-25 11:34:06

It's not really 'whack' - if you don't believe a player will fit in at your club then it doesn't matter how good they are on paper.

I have full faith in Wenger to come up with the goods. I don't think there will be a 'superstar' signing though.

It's clear that Eto'o, for all his attributes, is a problem player. He is unpopular with the other players at Barca, and Wenger is to be congratulated for refusing to bring on board someone who will most likely cause disruption.

Right now, out of all of the options mentioned, I think the Ajax players seem the best picks.

im not a huge eto'o fan, id rather have someone like anelka. although ryan babel definatly looks to be a rising star. im saddened with henrys leaving but in a way im excited about the prospect of a new styled team. the next few months should definatly be interesting.

Quite honestly, I can't believe any club would even consider signing Anelka. It's been proven over and over that he wants a new club every season and a half - for a huge signing-on fee. He's talented, that's without question, but with every club he visits he spends one good season and then an average one cos he's "unsettled". I wouldn't go near him with a barge pole of any length - he's probably the worst of many parasites in the modern game. 

And for those who've seen Babel, surely it's obvious that right now he's not the solution. Maybe in 3 years time, but right now he's not the finisher you'd want. I'd go for a home-proved product like Kevin Doyle, available at a reasonable rate and proven in the English leagues.

Doyle would be a top quality player at a fairly bargain price for any club, but i dont think Reading would let him go without a fight or a decent wad of cash...especially after losing Sidwell.


Alan Smith anyone?

http://uk.eurosport.yahoo.com/fo/profiles/24080.html Nicklas Bendtner is also back in the squad. He did an amazing job for Birmingham last season so we still have some depth up front.

Alan Smith?! That guy is so average up front he's resorted to trying to be a midfielder.
