News of the World:

Arsenal Football Club have been linked with a shock move for Allan McGregor.

The 26-year-old goalkeeper is rated as one of the best shot-stoppers in Britain, since breaking into the Glasgow Rangers team in 2006 after seeing off competition for the number one jersey.

Arsenal have reportedly reached an agreement with SÃ£o Paulo based outfit Mirassol for the permanent signing of young defender Luis Gustavo Conte.

The details of the contract are a little unclear, as Mirassol suggest they can not sell the player at such a young age due to FIFA rules, but a deal to help develop Conte until he is only enough to move to London seems to be on the table.

Luis recently completed a 10 day trial with the Gunners, where he was shown around local colleges and even completed 45 minutes of match action during the 8-4 victory over Norwich Under 16â€™s.

The Upson rumour keeps coming up, I know we've had someone going to West Ham games recently. We wont swap Bendtner, but we must have some interest in him

So that when you are so drunk that you cannot remember where you live, it helps you get home?

Why not go the whole hog and have your entire address printed on the back of your shirt, just to make sure?

As an Irish fan I hope to god we never let a *word censored* like stephan ireland anywhere near our great club

We have enough arrogant arseholes (step forward greedybayor, eboue and bedtner

) without signing another *word censored* that thinks so little of his country and grandmothers that he would lie about something like that and all because the *word censored* got a bit of ribbing over the sudden burst of growth of hair on his head
