Who's f*cking dream is it to play for a team who pisses away an 11 point advantage?

Him saying ' If he's smart he'll join us ' makes me less inclined to believe that he's 'close'.

Wenger on the "second part of signings"
“[We want to make early signings] if possible, yes,” he told Arsenal Player. “We wanted at least one target to be sorted out early.
“Now we are in a position where the second part of our signings will be to take care of the players who are injured and to get them back for the start of next season.
“I think of course about Jack Wilshere, and about Abou Diaby. Per Mertesacker I think will be ready at the start of next season. Then, if you look at our squad, we have quite a big one and before we buy again we have to look at how many players we will have.
Wenger concedes that another swift deal may have to wait until the futures of some of the Club’s other stars are concluded.
“I don't exclude it but we have to respect that [25-man squad] number,” said the Frenchman. “That is a big problem for every club and before you go out on the transfer market you have to see how you cope with the 25 players.”

Re: Latest Arsenal Rumours
just saw Jamie Sanderson article in the past week about Giroud
---
Giroud: the support striker Van Persie has been waiting for
With 34 goals and 14 assists in just 45 matches, it’s not been a bad season for Arsenal’s Robin van Persie, the newly crowned PFA and Football Writer’s Player of the Year. But in a week when the Dutchman’s contribution was recognised with personal prizes, manager Arsène Wenger was reminded of the blunt cavalry stopping his side from challenging for team trophies.
A one-man team? No, but after Arsenal had smacked the post and bar against Chelsea on Saturday lunchtime, it was telling that Wenger opted against withdrawing the clearly jaded Van Persie and throwing on competitor Marouane Chamakh as the Gunners sensed victory. In a season when their majestic number 10 has scored or created over half their Premier League goals, the support from fellow strikers Chamakh and Park Chu-Young has been pitiful.
Chamakh, a player Wenger chased for 12 months, has proved not to be worth the wait. At 28, he was seen as the prime finisher needed to drive Arsenal on, but after 11 goals in his début season, he tailed off, and has never recovered. Chu-Young, a £3million panic buy from relegated Monaco, looks out of his depth at this level, and has already told coaching staff he wants to leave. Between them, they take home almost £100,000 a week in wages, but have contributed just a goal each in 23 appearances.
For a man famed for his mastery of the French transfer market, Wenger’s attempts to supplement the forward line with bargain buys has failed. This summer, as Van Persie mulls over whether to extend his contract at Arsenal or not, it will be money spent on cavalry, not wages, that decides whether the influential captain signs on.
Lukas Podolski will arrive for £10.9 million from Cologne, but is expected to operate on the left, and with loanees Nicklas Bendtner and Carlos Vela keen to move on permanently, a top class marksman is a priority.
The answer is, however, right under their noses. Olivier Giroud, Montpellier’s 25-year-old striker, is available for €13million this summer – and Arsenal are in pole position to land him. At 6ft 2in and with a physical, bullish style, Giroud is not a typical Arsenal striker, but his meteoric rise through French football and bargain price tag give him all the credentials of a classic Wenger buy.
Fuelled by Giroud’s excellent form, Montpellier have been Ligue 1′s surprise package this season, surging to the top of the table with their budget squad. The stats tell us 20 goals in 31 matches, but he’s not just a goalscorer with power, energy and under-rated technique, he can also hold the ball and release others in tight situations.
A journeyman career in the lower divisions with Grenoble, Istres and Tours taught Giroud to use his size better and appreciate possession, qualities he could easily adapt to the Premier League as Van Persie’s foil, allowing the Dutchman to play his preferred role just behind a central striker. As well as linking the play and keeping the ball moving, Giroud could also play the target man – making use of the brilliant crosses provided by Arsenal’s rampaging full-backs.
Many will see Giroud as Chamakh mark II – a one-trick pony who has had one good season in French football. They would be wrong to do so. Giroud is the real deal – tactically and technically sound, he can adapt to a number of different roles and formations, and can score all types of goals. Close range finishes, one-on-ones, powerful headers and even bicycle kicks. The lot.
His chairman says he’ll go for €50million, but if Arsenal activate his bargain release clause and re-unite him with best mate Laurent Koscielny at the Emirates this summer, they’ll finally have the top quality cover to help Van Persie turn personal achievements into team ones.

Re: Latest Arsenal Rumours

Re: Latest Arsenal Rumours
Wenger will turn Danny Simpson into the next Bacary Sagna and then the next time we play he'll keep whoever Newcastle has on their left wing in his back pocket.
Forgive me for being sceptical about the M'Vila rumours. I'm sure the "strong, reliable" source is, indeed, strong and reliable, but I'm always hesitant to believe anything like that straight away.

Re: Latest Arsenal Rumours
What a midfield we'll have available if we sign M'vila. Finally, a pure DM meaning he's someone to let Song reign free and shower the attacking force with creative assists as he bursts forward as the CAM he's to become.
Just thought I'd bring this factoid up. Song started his Arsenal career as a CB then moved up to CDM, he's played more as a CM this year and now it's possible he could play as a CAM next year or in a more attacking role? What a baws.
Hoping so much for the M'vila rumors, waiting till Sunday, Sam!

Re: Latest Arsenal Rumours
Song would need to improve a lot to play CAM, in my opinion. Obviously, in recent season he's found a creative edge and can produce outstanding passes, but he's too inconsistent with those passes and has a tendency to over-complicate. A good CAM must be able to produce the special, but also use the ball intelligently which Song doesn't always do.
Moreover, his success has come from deeper positions and I reckon he'd be marked too easily if he played higher up the pitch.
I don't believe he has the intelligence to play that sort of role. CM suits him best, since you can get the best out both worlds there - his strength and defensive ability, and his ability to make killer passes from deep.

Re: Latest Arsenal Rumours
Agree, he'd be given more reign to push forward and instigate attacks but it wouldn't be his overall role to create plays.
I see Diaby leaving, Frimpong getting a loan move, maybe Ramsey and our midfield consisting of Arteta, Wilshere, Rosicky, M'vila, Coquelin and Song should this deal go through.
