Re: The Official Arsenal Summer Transfers/Rumours Thread

Djourou admits he could leave Arsenal this summer

'My situation at Arsenal is not easy,' he told 20min.ch. 'I’ve never played so little, and especially not in my own position.'

Laurent Koscielny and Thomas Vermaelen are the Gunners' first choice central defensive options, while Per Mertesacker adds further competition.

Djourou has found himself put at right-back, a position he is clearly uncomfortable in.

'If an interesting offer comes, I’ll look at it carefully,' he explained.

At 65k a week I would get rid of him for what ever offer we get, or maybe a loan.

Think about the CL teams right now. Don't think anybody has any need for him.

Forgive me for my shallow insight but this would be a great buy from what little I know . All I know of him though is that he just scored 33 goals and goes from 83 to 87 in FIFA, lol. Hope there's some substance to this.

Grimandi in Le10Sport -It's true that we've we've been watching Mamadou Sakho but we've got to many players in this position and even if there's a chance we might not take it. We're looking for players in position where we are weak, not center back"

Arsenal, Tottanic and Newcastle in for Ibrahim Affellay as Barcelona could be tempted to sell him for a bid in the 6 million region

[Metro]



Good alternative to Yossi, younger and similar technique.

Scouting For Arsenal: Goalkeeper – By JG
The player featured in this article is a 22 year old French goalkeeper who plays for Metz in Ligue2, France. His name is Joris Delle. He has played for the French national squads from U16-U21 (so I’m pretty sure Wenger knows who he is)

If you don’t know of Metz FC, they have a good reputation of scouting and developing many excellent footballers. They have helped develop players such as Franck Ribéry, Sylvain Wiltord, Robert Pirès, Papiss Cissé, Emmanuel Adebayor and Miralem Pjanić, just to name a few.

Standing at 1.90 m, Joris Delle is a very intelligent goalkeeper. Reflexes, positioning, diving, handling and most of all his decision making abilities are all well above average. He also has a knack of starting attacks with his throws, which he does expertly (this is a very valuable attribute, and can be seen in the video).

The question is, is he too good to be used as a “back-up” keeper? Well Bayern Munich don’t seem to think so, because reports are out that they look to make Delle their #2 keeper behind Manuel Neuer. If Arsene Wenger were to swoop in and try to sign Delle before Bayern makes a bid, I believe Delle could easily choose Arsenal due to Wenger’s reputation with French players past and present. In my opinion, after acquiring several Metz FC matches and watching Joris Delle, he would be an excellent signing, and would help keep Wojciech “the funny man” Szczesny on his toes.

Below is a video that (to my surprise) displays Joris Delle’s skills very well. I didn’t think I would find a good video of him, but this one is top notch.

Manchester City manager Roberto Mancini has admitted that Edinson Cavani and Robin van Persie will prove too costly for his club.

The English champions have been heavily linked with the Napoli and Arsenal stars but Mancini has remained calm regarding bringing the pair to the Etihad Stadium.

""Who would I choose between Van Persie and Cavani? The Dutchman is a champion, while the Uruguayan has everything and I wanted to take him to Inter Milan when he played at Palermo,” Mancini told Tuttosport. "

"But to take him at the current price is impossible and van Persie is a different matter altogether."

That report MJ posted said we are the favourites

Plus i fail to see where he would play for you lol.

Who is he going to bench? Podolski? Walcott? Song? Arteta? Wilshere?

The sooner you realise he will be feeding Cisse the better

Spoiler:

[Mr Nick09]

Joselu is probably better than Chamakh, so please sign him, he is a fantastic poacher with a lot of skills on the ball. He also scores in big games, so that's a factor.
