SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

[flash gunner]

Lads, seriously - does anyone REALLY believe Cesc would turn down Manure out of "love" for The Arsenal? Really?

Even as king of the realists, I will say that I believe 100% that cesc would sign for us ahead of manure - my only opt out on that belief is if the king of c**ts turns around and says that he doesnt want to re-sign our best player in the last 6 years

erm... have you got a badge with that on it...? You do, don't you...

Arsenal have made their first move to sign Benfica defender Lorenzo Melgarejo, according to his agent.
Arsene Wenger has been expected to make considerable signings this summer and the 22 year old Paraguayan, who is valued at £5m, could be his first.

Full-back Melgarejo, who featured in the Europa League final against Chelsea and is also interesting Turkish outfit Fenerbahce, is another possible target but Arsenal have not yet made any offer.

"Arsenal and Fenerbahce have enquired about Melgarejo. But so far there has been nothing concrete," agent Juan Gabriel Appleyard told Radio Monumental.

Do we need another LB?

Do we need another LB?

If he's a left back, then I think we can safely say the story is a load of bollocks. We have Gibbs and only recently signed Monreal.

Of course, if he's versatile, Wenger might see him as a midfielder.

Either way, I'll assume it's bollocks (as with the other several hundred players we'll be linked with ) until something concrete comes of it.

AC Milan are teasing that Sharaway may be for sale

I dunno whats happening in Serie A. I guess the clubs are going the same way as Holland, becoming feeder clubs. I can see AW being interested being how young he is.

Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio has given a clear indication that he will leave the club this summer as reported interest from Arsenal continues to grow.

The Gunners were believed to have made tentative enquiries into the 25-year-old's availability since last January, but were told that any deal for the shot stopper must wait until the summer.

It would appear that the Portuguese club are now willing to cash in on their number one goalkeeper after Sporting's Marcelo Boeck, the man who is primed to replace Patricio next season, revealed the Gunners target has already said his goodbyes to his teammates ahead of a move to a new club.

"He is at a very good level," Boeck is quoted as saying in Diario de Noticias. "And if the proposal is very good, as I believe it to be in a club that gives its full support for it to evolve in his career, he has to take it.

"He loves the fans and the club, but it is time to take on this challenge. On the last day together, the last time there was a farewell between us, he said goodbye to me and colleagues."

Portuguese newspaper Record also suggest Sporting are now ready to listen to offers for the goalkeeper who has been the club's undisputed first choice in goal since 2008.

Arsenal have been credited with keen interest since the January transfer window, and having had an offer of €10m turned down by the club earlier in the season, could now return given their greater financial backing.

Arsene Wenger utilised all three of his goalkeeping options in Wojciech Szczesny, Lukasz Fabianski and Vito Mannone last season due to injury and loss of form hitting each of the trio.

Neither of the three were capable of proving to the Gunners boss last season that they are ready to be the club's number one custodian for years to come. Having retained that role at Sporting since he was barely out of his teens and having amassed 23 caps for Portugal, Patricio could represent a solution to a problematic area within Wenger's side.

If he is talented, cheap and IN ADDITION TO other bigger name signings (reputation not letters Arsene) then I wouldn't knock it.
