Wages are actually £90k per week, but performance related bonuses and whatnot bump it up.

And apparently we're in talks with several clubs about unloading some of our crap.

The wages will make it hard to get ride of them unless we sell them for less which I dont mind as long as we get rid of them.

I dont know why but I rather keep Arshivan.

If Podolski comes, Arshavin is gone. And it's a great replacement tbh.

To start off with a LOL-worthy rumor,that too coming from talkSPORT

Arsenal and Chelsea target Nuri Sahin is wanted by big-spending Malaga, according to reports in Spain.

The Turkish international has endured a torrid season at Real Madrid, making just one league appearance after struggling with injury.
And that had led to speculation that both the London clubs would renew their interest in a player they wanted before he moved to the Bernabeu from Borussia Dortmund last summer.

But Qatari-backed Malaga are keen on making a summer move for Sahin, according to Marca, and are confident of out-bidding their rivals for the 23-year-old.

:lol!:

Montpellier defender Mapou Yanga-Mbiwa has Premier League clubs on notice.

The young centre-half has been tracked by Newcastle United and Arsenal this season.

And its emerged Yanga-Mbiwa has refused to sign a new contract at the Stade de la Mosson and admitted he could leave in the summer.

Arsenal target Youssef Msakni is ready to snub a move to a big European club by signing a new deal at Esperance Tunis.

Arsene Wenger is reportedly an admirer of Tunisia international Msakni, who currently plays for Esperance Tunis in his homeland.

But PSG were alerted to his talent during the African Cup of Nations and the super-rich French club have already made a bid for the 21-year-old playmaker.

Esperance president Hamdi Meddeb is currently considering the offer
from the Ligue 1 side, but it appears that Msakni has already decided to stay put.

Despite having a contract at Esperance until 2013, Msakni is already thinking about signing an extension.

He said: "My intention is to renew with Esperance Tunis as I believe I'm playing for a big team.

"But in any case, it is a matter for the President Meddeb to decide on my future.

"My preference? I can only say one thing: 'I love Esperance Tunis'."

Jefferson Farfan is unsure of his future at Schalke.

The Peru international's camp have fielded enquiries from Arsenal and Chelsea in recent weeks.

Farfan hasn't excluded staying with Schalke, but is favouring a move abroad this summer.

Udinese midfielder Kwadwo Asamoah cannot rule out a move away this summer.

The Ghana international is being followed by Chelsea, Arsenal and Liverpool this season.

"I think only of Udinese," said Asamoah. "The transfer market? I still have a long term contract.

"If something arrives, I will think about it, but I do not want to just yet."

Juventus are interested in Arsenal defender Johan Djourou.

The Daily Express says Djourou has emerged as a surprise summer transfer target of Italian club Juventus.

Djourou activated an option to extend his Arsenal contract until 2015 in February, but that will not stop the club listening to offers.

Toulouse defender Aymen Abdennour is a target for Arsenal.

Mercato365.fr says Arsenal haven't been put off by Abdennour penning a new deal to 2016 earlier this season.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is in contact with Toulouse president Olivier Sadran over a price for Abdennour.

He only moved to Toulouse last summer for a cut-price €50,000 from Étoile du Sahel in Tunisia.

Arsenal are tracking Manchester City striker John Guidetti at Feyenoord.

The Swede is on-loan at Feyenoord and been watched by Gunners chief scout Steve Rowley regularly this season.

Wenger sees Guidetti's bustling style as ideal to complement skipper Robin van Persie in attack next season.

Arsenal will have to move fast if they intend to firm up their interest in Udinese star Juan Cuadrado.

The Colombian is currently spending the season on loan at Lecce where he has impressed in a number of roles on the right-hand side in both attack and defence.

The 23-year-old has scored three times in 26 league appearances for the Serie A side he has been loaned to with the aim of gaining more first-team experience.

According to Italian newspaper Corriere dello Sport, Napoli have now expressed an interest in the former Medellin man, putting them in direct competition with PSG, Inter Milan and the Gunners for the talent's signature in the summer.

Udinese are weighing up their options but are believed to be ready to sell their biggest asset to the highest bidder and re-invest the fee on a number of signings.

The agent of Udinese wing-back Mauricio Isla admits foreign offers are arriving for the Chile international.

Udinese president Giampaolo Pozzo has confirmed the interest of Liverpool and Arsenal in the last week.

"Isla? There is a strong interest from Inter but the player is liked a lot by other Italian and foreign teams. We are currently probing the ground and then we'll see what to do," said Claudio Vagheggi.

The agent of Udinese young gun Luis Muriel says his client will not be moving to either Arsenal or AC Milan this summer.

The 20-year old Colombian forward, who is currently on loan at Lecce, has been linked with both the Gunners and the Rossoneri but his representative, Helmuth Wennin, suggests that is just mere speculation.

"There is no truth in Arsenal's supposed interest in Muriel, these are just rumours," Wennin told calciomercatoweb.it.

"Big Italian clubs? Luis is focused on Lecce.

"His future is with Udinese, the club that owns him. This is no time to think about the transfer market."

Arsenal are ready to step up their bid for Ajax defender Jan Vertonghen.

The Daily Express says the Gunners are keen to land £10m-rated Vertonghen, who can play in the centre of defence or at left-back, but manager Arsene Wenger wants to create space within his squad.

Sebastien Squillaci and Johan Djourou could both be offloaded to make room for the Belgian.

Arsenal want £7 million for Marouane Chamakh.

The Sun says PSG boss Carlo Ancelotti thinks he could land the frontman for £2m less and revive his career.

PSG chief Leonardo was in contact with Arsenal earlier this week.

Chelsea attacker Danny Sturridge is under consideration at Arsenal.

The Daily Mail says Sturridge has been mentioned by Wenger discussing targets with directors.

Sturridge has admitted frustration over his role at Stamford Bridge as he sees himself as an out-and-out striker.

Juventus are preparing to hijack Arsenal's summer move for Anderlecht ace Matias Suarez.

It has been widely reported that Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger is lining up a move for the Argentina striker - and it was even suggested that a pre-contract agreement was already in place.

But, according to Gazzetta Dello Sport, Juventus have identified Suarez as a primary target for their summer spending spree and they hope to land him ahead of Arsenal.

The 23-year-old has scored 11 goals in 27 league appearances this season and is rated at around £10m by the Belgian Pro League leaders.

A source at Anderlecht has admitted that Italian and English clubs have both made contact.

The source said: "English and Italian clubs have asked about Matias but there are still no negotiations under way."

Anderlecht captain Lucas Biglia is in the sights of Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger.

The Telegraph says Arsenal have the Argentine lined up as an alternative to Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila.

If M’Vila becomes too expensive, Arsenal will also consider making an offer for Biglia, an Argentine international who has helped Anderlecht to win five trophies over the past six years.

Please, please Juventus buy him, he is on off the best CB in the world, we would take any offer. If they want we can give the Squillaci for free also.

Every time Djourou comes in the game I get so nervous.

Arsenal are chasing Fiorentina midfielder Riccardo Montolivo.

Montolivo is off contract in June and courting interest from Italy at home and abroad.

Scouts watched the midfielder, 27, in Sunday's 2-2 draw with Genoa. The Gunners face competition from Inter Milan and Juventus.
