  1. It’s Wednesday, We Have Belief, Believe Me! « The World of Arsenal says on :

    [...] Transfers [...]

  2. Nazif yildirim says on :

    I am from Turkey,İstanbul and ı olve watching Arsenal matches and my second team is arsenal.I wanna to say that a striket is very important for a clup and i think adebayor is not enough if arsenal wants to win the league.İf David Villa or a striker like Torres comes to club then the possibility of winning the league is getting close and closer.Arsenal must buy a goog striker.

  3. sado says on :

    delgado

  4. arif yıldız says on :

    arsenal need a good striker for goal master like henry, ibrahimovic, torres or BOBÔ ( BJK)

  5. Jack says on :

    people have been going around saying theo walcott is going to go on loan. WHAT!!!!! theo is made for the premiership he needs to be played more to show his true potential remember back to the champions league v liverpool when he sped past 6 players. he doesnt need expreience in some championship team he needs to be played almost everygame instead of eboue. and hope eduardo comes back fighting fit.

  6. anas says on :

    hi,im anas from malaysia..am a arsenal fans..for my opinion arsenal nead striker…is not adebayor is not good..but arsenal nead a striker such as eto’o or drogba..and rosicky nead to be in 4 next season..he is good..thank u..

  7. John says on :

    Arsenal needs key players in all department i would love to see david villa, ben arfa, albiol, gomes all in arsenal jerseys next season you see the truth is we need to create a team with depth players like these will challenge our injury prone players to try and stay fit always cos’ they’ll have to fight for their shirt. And the upcoming youth players will be dying to impress

  8. Omar Little says on :

    ben afra, nasri-just to creaye depth and challange for places.one central defender, defensive midfielder to support cesc, martins from newcastle to play up front with adebayor and a golie.well to be realistic we have to spend this time around.i`d say something like 50 milion will do.but hey we all know whats gonna happen- no big buys just same ol` from le boss.but still gunners for life!!!!

  9. hayelom (tonymontana) says on :

    Ethiopian fan of Arsenal is here. Man arsenal needs two central Defenders, two fast wingers and a good striker like Villa. Sale Hleb, Hoyte, Eboue and Gallas

  10. Steve Rodger says on :

    All these transfer roumers are very exiting but so far no mention of the one player I would be desperate to see play for us next season I am of course talking about Jérémy Toulalan, holding midfeilder anybody.

  11. ivan Charles says on :

    < ![CDATA[Am an Arsenal fun in Uganda kampala.
    Adebayol is not good enough for arsenal,he wasts very many chances compared to strikers like Drogba,Eo'o,Torres,David Villa.he needs aserious competetor like David Villa.sale hoyte,Gilberto,Galas,gilbert,Djour,Hleb.
    Alex Song should replace Flamini,Clichy and Feb have no assistants.]]>

  12. mudzy says on :

    i support asrenal i love da way dey play but to win trophies we need some talented wingers such as nasri ben arfa and aquilani for flamini defenders we need to get kompany and get rid of senderous arsene also needs some young midfielders for the bright future gunnerz 4 LIFEEEE

  13. Wesley says on :

    Hi i’m a big arsenal fan, i feel next season we need to finish the all teams in the first half, wenger should keep eboue at right back, let him and sagna challenge for position. buy nasri, ben arfa, kun augero, yaya toure, kompany, neuer get rid of alumunia because his not good enough. keep adebayor, i disagree with anas because drogba is gifted with tap ins, ade will become better and better. we should land renato agusto and lulinha because they been making waves in brazil, i would like merida to play more and maybe think of selling bedtner for 5-7 million pounds because i think he had a bad attitude in january being the transfer market, these young players must also realise that earning high salaries compared to say shevenko is outragous shevi made his name like henry they worked hard and now they derserve the salaries they are getting, like flamini he only really started to play full time football this past season, flam is a great player but he did not act like a professional, if had went at begining of the season he would have not landed at milan. thanks guys graet website

  14. Håvard Nordtveit says on :

    arsenal need me

  15. sam says on :

    we need nasri, yaya and villa…soooooorted lads!! and play eboue at right back like that dude said and let him and sagna fight it out. I think we cud also do with a keeper…i like carson myself but i no ppl hav loads of different keepers in mind. I jus think we need som1 who is young and can b the leader of the back 5 for years to come.

  16. maxwell omeke frm nigeria says on :

    < ![CDATA[am a die hard arsenal fan. GUNNERS FOR LIFE.
    I would be extremely glad if we can land david villa, samir nasri. But on the other hand, we cannot afford to loose hleb like we lost flamini. Ade can go cos he misses too much chances for a striker. As for theo, he needs to be played more often to mature on time. That boy has actually got a lot in him. Much props to cesc, clichy, eduardo, toure, persie, hleb and sagna. Before i go, someone should please give wenger a call and tell him we need to offload senderos and gallas.]]>

  17. emma turyazooka (uganda) says on :

    < ![CDATA[We surely need a powerfful striker mr wenger, We as funs we dont need only money/ profits but also cups. am happy ffor nasri, am waiting for David villa.
    Dont put theo on the bench again.]]>

  18. john says on :

    The days for titles are over, I dont think even an FA cup win is on the cards. It breaks my heart but we are now to far behind the mancs and chelski. Arsen saying we cannot compete in the transfer market is tragic. T are spending more money than us every year, what has gone wrong. It is not the stadium, poor excuse. Something has gone wrong in the club, we cant keep players, whos coming in, we dont need another kid, its full of them. No other top club in europe would keep Wenger with his current record, are we happy to be third or fourth in the league, play weak teams in the FA cup and make the quarters or semis of CL, I hope not.

  19. Gooner Get Ya says on :

    < ![CDATA[Hleb wasn't all that in my opinion and looking at Nasri in action on Youtube I am looking forward to seeing him in an Arsenal shirt. We still need to buy a DM as good as Denilson is we need someone with a bit more presence, power and experience.

    I agree with Maxell omeke frm nigeria about offloading Senderos, he hasn't played well for a couple of seasons now. Gallas is a good defender but a bad captain especially when Clichy had a moment that led to the penalty last season...he spat his dummy out big time.]]>

  20. Ronnie Hoang Nguyen says on :

    I’m from Vietnam and a fan’s Arsenal such a long time. I love to watching Arsenal playing FB from TV. Arcording me, We need to buy a good Striker and a Mildfield. I don’t know who jond Arsenal next time. I think, Alonso will transfer Arsenal to change for Gilberto Silva.

  21. Ojambo edward from uganda says on :

    < ![CDATA[Ideally, for a good manager should be able to groom and raise potential talent from the academy just like wenger has done and also be able tap those from other reliable sources which is ajob well done.I do not agree with some arsenal fans who have openly come out to criticise Adebayor 4 me he has done agreat job 4 arsenal and deserves credit for the 30 goals plus. He just needs encouragement and step up his game to atop world class striker just amatter of time, he is still young-24 and I hope and believe that he will be there sooner than later as longers we support him.
    with ayoung and skilled squard(Fabregas,Nasri,Adebayor,Walcott,clichy etc) Arsenal can still win trophies. we need apower of 2 in each position (2 equally good young lads per position) and I PROMISE we shall win amajor trophy.]]>

  22. Herbert says on :

    Wenger should buy senior players like 3 to compete with Man u .

  23. Looks says on :

    I think that the signings that Arsenal made this season are very good! Although i believe that Wegner should start to aproach players such as Arshavin and Villa. We need a striker! one who is consistent and one who will be stable.

  24. Ali turner says on :

    y is everyone on ere saying we need a striker you lot must not no anythnk bout arsenal we have 6 strikers adebayor,bentaner,eduardo,van persie,walcott and carlos vela so we dont need any strikers but i agree we defo need 2 sell senderos reminds me of pascal cygan wot a flop swiss goat wenger noes wot he is doing and has said he is gonig 2 sign 1 plyer defo and 2 if adebaor goes so im very confident we have a massive squad bigger then ever i belive

  25. mesol says on :

    I hope Mr Wenger will buy a good experience & powerfull defensive midfielder such as Mahamadou Diarra. He is not happy at Real Madrid. Why not Mr Wenger approach him to be at Emirates?What do you think guys?He is very strong not afraid from anyone.

  26. Gooner Ben says on :

    < ![CDATA[James Wake (Liverpool fan) says...

    Just heard a rumour that scares me as a Liverpool fan: Arsenal have contacted the MSI group that currently own Javier Mascherano. Apparently, he has only one year left on his loan deal at Liverpool who don't have the rights to the player. If Arsenal were to succeed in a 20 million bid for him, Liverpool can expect minimal compensation (3-5 million) or have to face losing him for nothing next season. Arsenal see him as the perfect replacement for Flamini, and also know that it would damage Liverpool's transfer activity. We are trying to raise funds by selling Alonso, who we would have to keep at the club if Mascherano were to leave. This would mean that we could only afford one of Robbie Keane and Gareth Barry. We might be forced to buy a cheaper alternative to one of them. LOL I HOPE THIS IS TRUE!]]>

  27. Eva from Nigeria arsenal should partner a good a good striker with Adebayor and also do justice to the defensive side especially on the left back. For the midfield, i believe its ok for now says on :

    If arsenal were to be a female human being, i would’ve married her (I love ARSENAL)

  28. Eva from Nigeria arsenal should partner a good a good striker with Adebayor and also do justice to the defensive side especially on the left back. For the midfield, i believe its ok for now says on :

    I luv arsenal

  29. Maxwell Omeke B-)(Nigeria) says on :

    Hello people, i mean anyone who is a GUNNER. The season has begun and am happy with the signings wenger has made but i must point out the fact that we need experienced players to mix up with the young ones we got so they can learn one or two stuffs from the experienced ones. Am really not impressed with wenger’s attitude. The cash is there for signings but instead he tends to worry about the club’s finances, can someone please point it out to him that he doesn’t own arsenal and should do his job as a coach

  30. Za says on :

    I’m still not really sure why Arsene signed Silvestre… Is it to compensate for Senderos’s loan move? Or is it because he got a good deal?

  31. Maxwell Omeke frm Warri Nigeria says on :

    Once again my fellow gunners, i wish us all the best this season. Hey can i get Wenger’s mobile number cos it now seems i need to tell him personally that we need someone far better than Adebayor. Can anyone please let me have that number? I dont like someone without a striker’s zeal, hunger and force. Adebayor hasn’t got those qualities. How does he feel wen he watches Torres, Villa, Henry, Eto, Berbatov, even walcot has gotten dat hunger. Please anyone, correct me if you think am wrong. Take care people..

  32. sir pak from malaysia says on :

    < ![CDATA[wenger u need to search DM........
    Yaya Toure, Alonso, Obi Mikel, Frings and the other player that have more experience .........
    we need cup!!!!!!!!!!!!!]]>

  33. mustafa says on :

    why dont arsenal buy me i play upfront and im good

  34. rather_looner_than_gooner says on :

    i bet £50 on arsenal playing uefa cup next year, nice shopping money

  35. liam says on :

    are you all mad. we have 4 top midfielders and a mint striker. we need to throw almunia out of the emirates. make a bid for sum1 like robinson. stop playin defenders like Gibbs and buy a good left and right defender and not play kids.

  36. kierandelaney.net says on :

    Amazing, a Spurs fan pretending to be a gooner.

  37. devday says on :

    LOL Kieran!

  38. zsombee says on :

    I think arsene should buy defenders like vermaelen, micah richards, raul albiol, some strikers like edin dzeko, or balotteli, and a quality goalkeeper like Akinfeev who is pretty damn good for his age. oh and i forgot Gourcuff who i think is a damn good player. We should also sell silvestre, gallas, clichy, because we have plenty of good left backs, adebayor who lately has been a disaster on the pitch.

  39. zohaib says on :

    zsombee – what did you have for breakfast ? A human ?

    Sell Clichy ?!

    And yes ! clearly, the way to go is to buy 7 new players. Afterall, there isn’t a rule which says only 11 players can play on the pitch at one time.

    Of course we already have about 30 but bringing in 7 more couldn’t be a problem could it … ?!

  40. kierandelaney.net says on :

    ZOHAIB WE AGREE!!!

    Zsombee – if we sell Clichey we’ll no longer have “plenty of good left backs” we’ll have just the one left!

    Zohaib, pretty sure this posts comments are being hijacked by dirty spurs.

  41. zohaib says on :

    Lol, we do indeed !

    This is huge. This has to be an important day. Hopefully it marks the start of the Arsenal revolution ! lol.

    And more seriously, today’s an important day also because ManUtd have finally sold Ronaldo (we did beat them twice with him in their team), so now maybe they’ll come back down to Earth. Although I fully expect them to make a big signing this summer. Maybe Ribery or Benzema or Tevez even, now that they have the money. They also have a 700 million debt.

    And the World Cup is exactly a year away from today, so today really is a special day ! lol

  42. Nailbomb says on :

    It’s a disaster when clubs like real come along buying the way to the top.But us gunners are sick and tired of playing catchup with our great brand of football.. check barca.
    we need some strong key players other than cesc nasri to get it on wenger can even use some french option DUh ribery. or karim. its highly unlikely that he’d buy other internationals.
    toulalan/aguero(dreams)/for god sake some good central defender dont they come cheaper.

  43. richard - Kenya says on :

    i support wenger whole heartly, but i am wet concieved that he need to sell any more player, not after seeing off ade, & kolo. I strongly believe he need one more centre back, one offensive mild and one experienced striker, likes of solomon kolou. We have many game to play this season, calring cup, the league, champions league, Fa league and we trully miss a trophy after that long spell.

  44. kateregga mubarak'uganda says on :

    am very happy on the way our club is doing these days but i advice our courch to buy more prayers who have expreince so as to compite in the troph and not to sale fabregas eventhough he is given much money becoz right now in premier he is the best of all

  45. Fredrick Aswa says on :

    Arsenal really need good and experienced players most especilly upfront and midfield.It is always Fabregas and song mostly who work hard in the midfield.Now look at a case where song was out injured,there was a gap.Wenger,buy players who can shoot at a distance.
    Sol Campbell:Why accept him back.Wasnt there any other choice?
    We the fans need a trophy atleast.

  46. ayodeji says on :

    HELLO,AM AYODEJI A TRUE AND LOVE FOR ARSENAL,I SUGGEST ANSENE WENGER SHOULD BRING IN EXPERIENCED PLAYERS IN AREAS OF GOALKEEPING BECOS WHEN YOU LOOK AT THEN CHELSEA AND THE NOW CHELSEA ITS BECAUSE THEY HAVE A GOOD GOALKEEPER.AND AREA OF THE MIDFIELD AN EXPERIENCED AND HAVE AN EYE FOR GOAL SHOULD BE CONSIDERED FOR EXAMPLE PLAYER LIKE FABREGAS AND LAMPARD.AND IN THE AREA OF DEFENCE,I SUGGEST WE NEED A STRONG PLAYER WITH ALTITUDE LIKE VERMELEN.GUNNARS FOR LIFE.NIGERIA.

  47. Sydoppe says on :

    I this transfers true:

    12 Joe Hart Manchester City
    8 Marouane Chamakh Bordeaux
    4 Felipe Melo de Carvalho Juventus
    4 Yaya Toure Barcelona
    3 Mohammad Zidan Borussia Dortmund

  48. olani dayo says on :

    please my able coach try and buy play that will make fan proud

  49. Yusuf says on :

    I’m arsenal fan, i wanna arsenal to sign a good golkeeper

  50. henry obeng says on :

    pls buy pla.

  51. Chikorr says on :

    Arsene Wenger should buy players and stop the mizing of money

  52. seyi says on :

    Up gunners!!! Gunners 4 life!!!!!! …….I’ll keep saying it that we need a good goal keeper, a good mildfielder who can cover-up well when Cesc is not available, and also one more Defender. If we could get these three Players to fill in – I tell u whenever injury set in we’ll be there to compete with compromise. Gunners 4 life!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!……………….

  53. ayodele says on :

    we need atleast a defender

  54. Leeroy says on :

    i think if wenger work on arsenal defense we going to come up with a flying color next season.

  55. Sam says on :

    if wenger could get a flexible striker then we are going to next season title in the various league plus some few defenders to backup the few he has

  56. munguryek ken says on :

    to my oppinion, arsenal problem last seaon was lack of competetive players infact the blame should not be only on the coach but also on some players who never showed what they wanted as well as the club itself.the likes of diaby,bendner, eboue,almunia,denilson have failed to impress yet they had a long stay with the club alternatively they could depart as well. for successful coming season arsenal need 1 serious goalkeeper,two serious central defenders to partner vamaelen such that koscielney and djourou could be some seious deputiser ,aquiresation of samba could also be very vital.inaddition two midfielders one attacking and one defending plus also two strikers to add on our lonely van then we callit a good start to the 2011/2012 season. bye see u next season and wish you a happy transfer season.

  57. munguryek ken says on :

    it could be better if arsenal is lifted to the level real madrid and barcelona

  58. epiot nobert says on :

    wwy does wenger insist on young players
