the more i read about carvahlo but the more exciting he sounds. really hope we can get the deal across the line, IF i had to choose between sami and him i would go for him.

What happened to the Quintero gossip....i'd be over the moon if we got him

Apparently Nastasic is allowed to leave city, he would be a great 3rd CB

i'd rather us sell TV5 to barca rather then united......12-14mill for someone in their last year of contract isnt bad

go gunners

Nastasic would be very useful.

Champions (or not) League draw on Saturday morning

Ath Bilbao, Lille, Besiktas, Standard Liege or Copenhagen.

I vote for the Danes, what say you?

Bilbao could be tough and trips to Turkey are never pleasant so one of the other three. Glad Zenit lost so they is no trip to Ukraine (how are they still allowed to hold games there curretly anyway?).

Zenit won, that's what pushed Bilbao into the unseeded group.

Zenit is St Petersburgh which is Russia, not Ukraine. 

They have a handy #10

Def don't want a trip to Istanbul... Sooner have  the Basque's tbh.

Anyway the side is so awesome give us anyone, 2014-15 will be a massive season for Arsenal.

I would be thrilled with Nastasic in for Vermalen. Brilliant back up option for Per/Kosc & we'd get some coin for the Belgian. Hopefully we opt to sell him to Barcelona rather than United.

Djourou finally completes transfer to Hamburg, what a strange prolonged transfer that has been...

Arseblog posted a graphic of an A team and a B team yesterday to illustrate our depth. I didn't agree with all positions, and you probably won't agree with mine, but I've changed it slightly and here's our current squad divided into two teams;

                     Szczesny

Debuchy-Mertesacker-Koscielny-Gibbs

                Arteta-Ramsey

           Walcott-Ozil-Cazorla

                      Sanchez

                        Ospina

Bellerin-Chambers-Vermaelen-Monreal

                 Flamini-Wilshere

      Chamberlain-Rosicky-Podolski

                        Giroud

Left out completely; Campbell, Sanogo, Gnabry and Diaby...

You'd have to say that's rather impressive.

If Vermaelen goes then he'll be replaced with someone of a similar quality.

The obvious upgrade is Arteta out of the 'A' side for a new DMF purchase, but even without that this squad is pretty freakin awesome.

yip very impressive indeed, really do need a big bad DMF as you mentioned. Really want Gnabry to go on loan, he's too good to playing in the reserves i reckon.

Sagna: "I spent seven years in Arsenal and had a great time there but I wanted to start from the bottom again, to work hard again and I think I just chose the best city in England and even in Europe."

So he wanted to start from the bottom and live in the best city in Europe. So he chose Manchester City.

Why do players feel the need to make shit up? Nothing wrong with choosing the most money and greatest chance of winning trophies.

Also looks more likely that Vermaelen will be leaving as well which is a worry considering BFG and Koscielny's World Cup efforts. They will be tired and more likely to pick up injuries. Community Shield this Sunday closely followed by UCL qualifier first leg. I would have thought that Wenger may have been tempted to use Vermaelen than throw Chambers in at the deep end.

There is also the possibility that he may withhold TV5 from the UCL game so he isn't cup tied for any potential buyers. Obviously, this won't be an issue for ManYoo.

We desperately need another CB. It's looking like Kos and Chambers for the Community Shield, but what if Kos does his hamstring? We go into a CL qualifier with Chambers and Monreal as our CB pairing. Just don't get why we always do this to the squad every season.

Really like his F365 comments today

Paul, OX and Flamini in for Walcott and Arteta

D and CB required still but Coq still needs a run

Apparently it's us & liverpool battling for Cavani...who would have thought. Also rumours of us in for Reus, those two would inflate the squad some what. Surely that'd be it for Podolski & Cazorla/Rosicky.

Verm to Barca appears to come down to medical & personal terms. That'll bring the net spend for the summer back in under $50m which ought to mean we've got a bit more to play with yet.

Reports of Diaby injured, he would be an excellent next club captain in Vermaelen's place, then we would sell him in the Janurary transfer before his contract runs out in June.

Seriously though if he is on say 50k per week then that is around 3 Million in wages we can spend somewhere else.

Come June next year we will have got rid of all the dead wood as Miyachi will be coming off contract too!
