Arsenal Bulletin

Ribery may sign 4 AFC but with a swap deal with Helb, Senderos or some other player moving 2 Marseille and Ribery moving 2 AFC . With Flamini moving 2 Serie A expect AFC 2 resign Sidwell 4 free . FrEddie Ljungberg 2 stay at AFC with Denilson but with Diaby as a sub again might see Diaby leave AFC as a player like him dosen't like being a sub .

I am the guy who works at Arsenal and gives you inside data as it unfolds. I talked about Daniel Alves and in the next press conference Wenger was asked about it. I am not to be saying this but actually the negotiations are ongoing and the deal would be a swap with Eboue plus cash Jesús Navas is just a smoke screen. Wenger is tired with Eboue’s antics and defending. To clarify about the left back position, Cristian Chivu would be brought in and the Matteo Ferrari is also a smoke screen. The gypsy from Utrera, Reyes is not coming back, Baptista is rubbish besides be wouldn’t like to be fifth in line to play. Who are those saying that Henri would be sold? Not in a million years, see how Arsenal panic and wasteful infront of goal, see how Henri is cool rather Eto’o would be brought in. Arsenal needs clinical finishers to make good use of their chances. The goalkeeper situation is a problem we are not sure whether Buffon would be really coming, he said last Summer that he would leave this Summer, now he has been told he would leave but not to Inter, if he leaves expect him to come to Arsenal, if not expect Gordon or Akinfeev. This is how the 30 million and the sale of some players money would be used.

-Eto’o = 22 million
-Chivu = 10 million + Flamini
-Buffon = Viera Debt + Ljungberg + 2 million
-Alves = 8 million + Eboue
-Ribery = 13 million
-Yago Fernandez = 100k
-Jurgen Macho = 750k

-Reyes = 12 million
-Senderos = 4 million
-Aliadiere = 4 million
-Gilbert = 1 million
-Muamba = 2 million
-Almunia = 2.5 million
-Poom = 500 k

Arsenal Team next season
-GK: Buffon, Macho, Mannone
-CB: Gallas, Toure, Djourou, Fernandez, Connolly
-LB: Chivu, Clichy, Traore
-RB: Alves, Hoyte
-CM: Gilberto, Fabregas, Denilson, Diaby
-LM: Ribery, Rosický, Merida
-RM: Hleb, Walcott
-ST: Henry, Eto'o, Van Persie, Adebayor, Bendtner, Vela

Formation:

- 1. Buffon-
- 6. Alves- 5. Toure- 10. Gallas- 3. Chivu
- 13. Hleb- 4. Fàbregas- 19. Gilberto- 8. Ribery
- 9. Eto’o- 14. Henri-

Arsenal rumours With Flamini departing the Emirates, Arsene Wenger feels he needs a new central midfielder, makoun from lille is his first choice replacement who could arrive for around £7 million. Jens Lehmann will decide to sign a one year contract with the Gunners but Wenger will seek a long term replacement. This will e Craig Gordon from Hearts. The deal will either be £3 million or Flamini plus 500k. Wenger gets the felling that Thierry Henry is past his best and against the Frenchmans wishes he will be sold to Inter for £12 million to meet up with his pal Patrick vieira. Wenger will ponder over making bids for Eto'o and Klose but will go for the younger Fernando Torres for his £25 million release Clause. Rosicky will also be sold and will move to AC Milan for a hefty £15 million. This will help fund the long awaited arrival of Franck Ribery for £13 million, Ljungberg will be bought by Middlesbrough and Aliadiere will soon follow. SWP will be brought in for a year long loan.
