Arsenal Links, Rumours and Transfers

Aaron Ramsey ;
Likely to stay in reserves and play a handful of Carling Cup matches altohugh is is known that Cardiff would like him back on loan so do not be surprised if that does happen

Raul Albiol ;
Wenger rates him at £5 million although Valencia want more in the region of £10 million. It is thought that this is too much for Wenger to shell out.

Carlos Vela ;
As much as I think every gooner wants him to play there is every chance he is going back out on loan to Spain

Vincent Komopany ;
Will not be an Arsenal player this year as Wenger himself has said this, but expect an interest in him in the future, Wenger also said he is tracking a couple of Belgian players, one of these could be Anthony Vanden Borre

Emmanuel Adebayor ;
Arsenal rated him at £32 million althogh there are rumours that Milan are ready to offer £25 million, could this sway Wenger even thoguh he does not want to sell

Daniel Parejo ;
Arsenal are keeping a keen eye on this young lad but Valencia have put a £11.8 million price tag on him.

Yaya Toure ;
It not going to happen, I promise you, FC Barcelona want to keep him, we do not want to pay £15 million, end of?

David Villa ;
Although I am not 100 percent sure I could have sworn that there was a statement released a while ago by David Villa saying IF he was to move to England he would only want to play under Wenger. Although I feel that he will stay in Velencia and see if he can help them to a better position next year and if nothing happens he will be off, similar to Torres

Samir Nasri ;
Athletico Madrid have lodged a bid for him although it is like 90 percent he is Arsenal

Other Transfers and Rumours

Kaka ;
Released a statement saying that he is not going to leave Milan

David Villa ;
Said that he does not want to be in Liverpool next season

Riise ;
If he is not promised first team football wants to leave Liverpool possibly to Italy for about £4 million

Ronaldo ;
Why does he not commit himself to Man United, keeps commenting how he is only focussed on the Euro's, is this a way of him avoiding the question, he wants to leave, no doubt.

Ronaldinho ;
Not going to City, possibility of him and Deco linking up under Scolari at Chelsea.

Deco ;
Off to Chelsea, about 75 percent sure

Torres ;
Not going anywhere

Drogba ;
Released statements saying he does not want to leave Chelsea and wants to be in England next year.

Benzema ;
Lyon have ruled out an exit anywhere for Karim Benzema

Eto'o ;
Milan want him and FC Barcelona dont.

Although these may not spark the imagination of everyone, they are real rumours and statements, can we not see more of these unless someone has really sht hot info.

West Bromwich supporter living in Melbourne and heard locally here that Albion are going to table a bid for Harry Kewell.

sunderland transfers 08–09

Heard from reliable contacts that the following could be coming to the SoL this Summer or during the anuary transfer window (depending on the league table position.

Real Betis' David Odonkor £6.5 million
Man United's Jonny Evans £5.5 million
Reading's Leroy Lita £4.75 million
Everton's Andrew Johnson £8.0 million
the Hammers' George McCartney £3.5 million
Man United's Darren Fletcher £5.0 million

Mark Hughes wants to sign Nelson of Blackburn £4 million, Chimbonda of Tottenham £3 million, Joe Ledley of Cardiff 3–4 million and Duff of Newcastle if he can secure him for £40 k a week and bonuses £2.5 million. Finally in possibly his biggest deal in terms of importance he wants his flagship forward signing to be Bendtnar of Arsenal whom he will offer Joe Hart for. Likely then he will play 1 up with Elano in behind. I do not think Ledley will cut it though.

Liverpool have bid £6 million for Marko Marin

Russian left back Jerkov could sign for Hearts after Euro 2008. His Uncle served in the Russian Navy with Vladimir Romanov and has sold the club to him. Although if Russia continue to progress this may alert some BIG teams.
