Transfer Talk

Sorry this post is late, I've had a busy weekend. So this morning it appears Nasri hasn't committed himself to Arsenal. Well its not really that surprising and after reading into it and thinking I began to see where a few people were coming from. Basically Nasri has us on the ropes, he knows that we could be in trouble could a few other big players go and as he had a good season he can put the pressure on us with the threat of his departure. According to others his agent is a wanker who looks only for the money so he may be under his instruction to say what he said but he has a brain between his ears and it may have hurt a few Arsenal fans. At the end of the day if he is motivated by money then we don't want that sort of player so if he wants to leave so be it. Yes he's had a good season but not had good SEASON'S. We aren't looking at a player who consistently plays world class football and has done for 6 or 7 seasons.

In other news we've been linked with 2 strikers: Benzema and Gervinho. Both are good, obviously Benzema is the better if the two but I see 3 issues with these players. Firstly they are strikers, we need to sure up the defence, if Wenger can't get this through his head then he really has lost it. Secondly with our current set up how exactly would they slot in, unless we lose a current midfielder which in all honesty wouldn't surprise me. But finally can we really see Wenger buying either of these, really?

On another note we've added to the 2 Barcelona 16 year old's that we've signed with one of the biggest names of the season, Kristoffer Olsson. That's right the 15 year old Swede. And people say Wenger has changed his ways. But as always with Arsenal, speculation is rife as to who Wenger really has his eyes on. Until we are linked with an achievable target who is a solid defender it will be hard for the die hard Arsenal fans to get properly excited.

I also so in the papers that Gallas in his normal big headed way has come out and said that Wenger was wrong to get rid of him. Sorry William just what the fuck have you actually done this season?? Hmmm? Thought so. To be perfectly honest I never did like his attitude, always thought he was better than he was (Bendtner syndrome) and always thought he commanded more power at the club than he did. He also stated that its too easy for us all to blame him for our problems. I don't know anyone who blamed him for our problems cause he made no impact. So the usual shit spewing from his mouth about us.

So that's pretty much it for today, I'll try to keep everyone posted should anything interesting happen in terms of news or transfers but we're in the lull between seasons end and the main dealing during the height of the summer.
