Arsenal in pole position for M’Vila …and maybe Sahin too?
Update on the Sahin and M’Vila saga. I reported in my last transfer article that Sahin was on the verge of signing for Arsenal and M’Vila had 3 teams to choose from (Arsenal, Tottenham and Zenit St Petersburg). Both stories have developed somewhat so here is the latest: The Sahin saga has taken a different turn now with Sky Sports’ Balague reporting that Liverpool have agreed terms with Madrid and…

Arsenal in pole position for M’Vila
Yann M’Vila’s French club, Rennes, are just about resigned to losing their 22-year old midfielder. The general manager of the club has spoken to the French radio station RMC. “For the moment there are three offers. There is no agreement.

The smart money is on a direct replacement for Alex Song, a defensive midfielder.

“What exactly DOES Arsene Wenger mean when he says what he says ?? by Ozzy AFC
After weeks and weeks of speculation and rumours about this player coming to the Arsenal and that player coming to the Arsenal, finally we hear some new news from the horse’s mouth. However, as always, we are no more in the picture as Arsenal fans than we have been for the last seven years. At the Start of the closed season I was confident that the “farce” that was last…
