Watch next year Santos will only be emergency LB, Wenger is moving him to CF.

There were stats somewhere regarding Clichy that said otherwise. He was however, exposed time and time again coz no one protected him down his flank...

I honestly think we should buy a new LB (pne that's really good) and push Santos up to LW. Not as a starter but whenever he comes on, he should play LW...

Rumours rife on twitter that Arsenal are "closing in" on Hernanes.

Le Grove (very reliable to my memory) has been told that M'Vila is not the last major signing of the summer.

Okay, the M'vila rumors make me happy and are relatively reasonable but with Hernanes we would be plain LOADED in the middle of the park, what kind of clear-out would Wenger have to plot to make room for all these guys?

Okay. Now I am beginning to doubt the M'Vila rumours too. :/

Why? The M'Vila rumours are at least being backed by La Parisien, which seems to be reliable, while the Hernanes rumours are just twitter rumours at the moment.

It's still a case of wait and see, of course, but I'm more doubtful about the Hernanes rumours than the M'Vila ones.

All I am thinking about is the weekend game, a tough away game and we cant afford to drop any points.

Hope Fulham can beat Spurs.

Same here, Raptor.

Lovely to hear all these rumors but all I want is a win on Sunday.

I hope Fulham beat Spurs too quite frankly a draw will do me

Evening Standard: Arsenal have agreed £17.7m deal for Yann M'Vila but are yet to agree personal terms - http://t.co/opQk1Lcq

Yann M'Vila will reveal his future on French Radio station RMC in the next few minutes
Edit:False report it seems

Really? He'll reveal it or be all coy like anyone pondering a move? Let us know what he says Sina

my apologize again i was :vagi:
It wasn't Yann M'Vila on the radio, it was Bakary Traore announcing his arrival to AC Milan from AS Nancy.

pedro botelho in levante is an Arsenal player and a true LB

There are so many players out on loan that people forget our own youth

Yes you are right. But Iam not sure if he will make it. He has a permit though, right?

on M'Vila - its a waiting game till the match ends this weekend.

Pedro Botelho is hardly any better than Gibbs and Santos. A winger converted into a fullback and suffers from the same problems. He'll most likely be sold.

He also said we want Belhanda, what he say on your end lol?

Said that Arsenal fans shouldn't be getting excited over M'Vila and should be focusing on the game against West Brom, which is fair enough. That one game is so important.

Arsenal want to sign Vorm from Swansea to provide competition for Szczesny. Fabianski & Almunia set to leave - http://t.co/9OCSXeyj

I find absolutely nothing wrong with that. Transfers and additions are all good. But we shouldn't let that sway us from the more pressing issue - which is nailing that 3rd spot w/o any further slip ups this weekend.

Btw, the entire Arsenal section is rooting for a Newcastle win and Tottanic loss this week Mole, wouldn't that be a sight!

It would be a great troll if Sp*ds did finish 4th and Chelshit won CL. But then again, I don't want another London team winning it (forget the "before us" part). Besides, I like Munich in Bundesliga. So the best thing would be for Bayern to win and Tottanic to sink
