Wasn't Walcott lauded as "the new Henry" when he arrived?!
'Twas so.

And Diaby was simultaneously lauded as "The New Vieira".

Prior, Clichy was lauded as "The New Cole".

In days yonder, William Laud was lauded as the new George Abbot.

Less lauding methinks.

Wasting 12m on Chamberlain? Wenger becomes a bigger *word censored* with each passing day.

Chamberlain & Jenkinson look to be great building blocks for the future.....

BUT for me it's critical that we don't lose Nasri, especially if it's to United. If we can pay £16m to sign a 17 year old from Division 1 then surely it's worth paying an extra £20k a week to keep Nasri.....

Arsene's priorities are the equivalent of the homeless fella I see sometimes locally, who accepts pennies and looks desperate but still has a dog and fucking feeds it dog food. Proper dog food.

I keep telling myself that it's only mid-June. No panic. Plenty of time left......

And I have to say that I'm not particularly bothered about "missing out" on Jones or Young....especially Young. And Henderson..... :shock: !

IF we can keep Cesc and Nasri (unbelievable that keeping the former now looks the more likely of the two WTF!) AND get Cahill and Samba then I'll be very happy......

only way we will keep both is if wenger signs a quality striker or winger. I think both players want to have quality around them

And, just before I go to bed, the latest from the BBC's rumour mill:

Arsenal left-back Gael Clichy, who has one year left on his contract, will be the subject of a £5m offer from Liverpool.
Full story: Guardian

The president of the Uzbekistan Football Federation (whose surname is Usmanov.....) says Arsenal want to sign national team captain, midfielder Odil Ahmedov who is ".....thought to be flattered by the approaches made from Arsenal, who aren’t alone as Bolton, Malaga, Monaco and a host of clubs in the middle east weigh up the 23 year old, after his display at the Asian cup caught the eye of many"!
Full story: Daily Mail

AND FINALLY
Arsenal legend Tony Adams says he rates former Gunners boss George Graham as a better coach than Arsene Wenger........

Liverpool have followed the £20m signing of Jordan Henderson with a £5m offer for the Arsenal left-back, Gaël Clichy.

Kenny Dalglish is anxious to address a glaring weakness in his squad ahead of next season and, having considered the merits of both the Newcastle full-back Luis Enrique and Celtic's Emilio Izaguirre, has turned his attention towards Clichy. The French defender has rejected Arsenal's offer of an extension to his contract, which has only 12 months remaining, and his employers are expected to cash in for around £5m-6m this summer rather than lose him on a free next year.

The 25-year-old has been linked with a host of European clubs since the breakdown over his contract extension and been touted as a possible makeweight in several deals being pursued by Arsène Wenger. Liverpool were forced to deploy Glen Johnson and 17-year-old Jack Robinson at left-back last season, with Dalglish offloading Paul Konchesky on loan to Nottingham Forest. They are awaiting a response from Arsenal on their approach.

Word on the wiki-street is that he will be going to Anzhi Makhachkala, a Dagestani club of whom Roberto Carlos is captain.
