Gooner Get Ya – it’s not getting heated at all. You’ve misunderstood the argument. It’s very healthy, and to eliminate the misunderstanding I’ll tell you that I have no issues with Mehedi or JDD. All I said was, they haven’t given a footballing reason why they think Zokora is not good enough.

Yemi – I think you’re doing a great disservice to the footballing quality of Zokora and over-rating the quality (or lack of) of Denilson and Song. They’ve hardly had one proper season of first team football.

The reason why we’re talking about Zokora is because I brought it up and I did so because he was available. And obviously because in my book, he’s the best of what’s currently available and being talked about.

Also, we like to do our business quietly, so just because you’re not hearing rumors about something doesn’t mean it’s definitely not happening.

AJ – I was thinking the same thing mate – Guiza. I was aware that he’d just moved to Turkey so I didn’t expect his name to be in the market, but as you say he’s apparently unhappy. I think it could be a good buy. He’s an out and out striker. He’s not really someone who can move around into different positions and play link-up football, the way we like it at Arsenal. But maybe I haven’t seen enough of him. Regardless of whether he can or cannot play link-up, I think it’s about time we got an out and out striker. We have too many who can play everywhere and sometimes it gets a little too confusing. There is one thing however, about Guiza that I’m not sure of – that’s his attitude and the fact that he looks a bit like Diaby, Song and Adebayor – in that they all look like they’re ‘druggies’.

Fan – We’re talking about a DM ! That is Defensive Midfielder.
We’re NOT talking about getting a goalscorer. We’ve got plenty of those. To put it even more simply for you to understand, a defensive midfielder’s job is NOT to score goals. It’s to provide cover for the defence and help to the midfield defensively.

why not Zokora? Because he hasn’t score a goal in 3 years! We need somebody more productive than that.

I am sorry zohaib, it was a little childish response
To tell you the truth i really don’t know about ZOkora that much
Lets face it he is not that good.

Thanks AJ

Yemi, Arshavin doesn’t have a agent, about a week or maybe a bit more ago, he terminated his agents contract. Mind you that maybe of been rumours too, but I don’t think it was, think it was on his official website, but I don’t speak russian so I can’t check that.

RVP has not signed yet according to his agent but is optimistic that something will happen this week.

I also read something arshavins agent welcoming offers from barca for the guy.

Es for zokora, even though he is experienced, i dn’t think he is that much better than either song or denilson. What we need is a match winner like arshavin. Someone that can dig deep and bring out something when all is not going well. Like yaya, mascherano, flamini, essien, gilberto and more. Zokora is good but i don’t think he is exceptional.

I have seen utube videos of cana and melo but i dont like the fact that melo signed a new contract when we were interested. I think it is a bid to squeeze funds out of any prospective buyer or to drive buyers away so i dont wnat him. If barca really want mascherano, then yaya may be up for sale.
I heard etoo has rejected the 2 yr contratc offered him and he wants to move to man u.

Any news on Ade ? is he bckling up or leaving ?

On second toughts, what about jay simpson ? is he back ?

Guys, check out Arsenal.com for pictures of the squads first training session! Eduardo, Rosicky, Vermaelen, Gallas and Seneros all feature

Berth…come on fella I was merely pointing out they are getting all wound up over a fictional argument!!! I know people can express there opinions freely but I don’t like to see fellow gooners having a pop at each other over something so pointless.
