For the boss to say he is keeping an eye on chamakh, its either it a done deal or its a no go area. or maybe a strategy for the boss to reduce the price

Els, martins is nowhere near lazy !!! He is actually a workaholic but i think 12m is too much. his buyout was 13m last season so he should be less by now

I think if Wenger doesn’t buy a DM or new striker, its just taking the mickey, I was reading a article on prospective players we could sign, but most would say things like “only if Wenger would spend alot and we all know thats unlikely” or “Arsenal fans can only dream as Wenger is known not to spend big”, it’s rather depressing reading those articles, and yes we spent 17mill on Arshavin, but this team isn’t complete and if Vermaelen turned out to be our only signing of the summer I would feel to an extent, cheated.

Alexander Hleb has confessed that his move from Arsenal to Barcelona last year was a mistake he now regrets.

The 28-year-old confirmed he is unhappy in Catalonia despite his team’s successes in the Spainish league and Europe last season.

‘When you mostly sit on the bench, winning titles brings very little joy, while getting to the last eight of the Champions League with Arsenal was unforgettable,’ said the Belarus winger.

I regret my move from London, but unfortunately nothing can be done about it now.’

While Hleb feels he has been poorly treated by Nou Camp boss Pep Guardiola, he showered praise on former manager Arsene Wenger.

‘For me, Wenger was like a father. I consider him one of the best managers in the world.

‘For such a boss one wants to die on the pitch. Arsene managed to create a smashing team with a wonderful atmosphere inside of it.

‘I have no doubts that if Arsenal had the same budget as Barcelona, the Gunners would be among the three best clubs on the planet.’

Hleb is prepared to stick it out at Barca until the new year, but he has been offered to Inter Milan as part of the swap deal that should see Sweden striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic go in the opposite direction.

From Arsenal.com

Arsène Wenger has admitted publically for the first time that he is “keeping an eye” on Marouane Chamakh.

The media have linked Arsenal with the 25-year-old Bordeaux striker for much of the summer but there has been no official word until now.

With Emmanuel Adebayor about to finalise the formalities of his move to Manchester City, there may be room for another forward at Emirates Stadium.

However, after the 2-2 draw at Barnet on Saturday, Wenger would not confirm he would be definitely adding another front man. Yet if he does require attacking re-enforcements then Chamakh would be in his sights.

“We keep an eye on him,” said Wenger. “He is one of the players that we will follow and if we went for a striker then he would be one of the possibilities.

Martins 12m anybody?

I know a few Newcastle fans, and from what I gather he is the NUFC Ade, talented but lazy, I’ve seen him play and think maybe he has great potential but i’d rather sign someone who’s tryer.

He may make the step up perfect but 12m seems like a big risk for Wenger, anywhooo he knows best, no arguement here.

Just need to see who, if anyone we get now?

Total cliche but Rosicky back really is like signing a world class player. Imagine how much a fit Rosicky would go for now in this market £30m+ i’d say.

Yeah I think 20m is too much for us when we need that DM, wenger now seems to be airing on not needing to replace ade (I agree). So hopefully lets spend on a midfielder.

fan thats just football aint it.

Im sure it happens a lot. And we only see whats reported to us, who knows whats going on.
