Anyone else fancy a cheeky attempt at getting him? He's still bloody class.
Glad he's finally gone. What a big game player.

Just a shame his final game for the club will haunt me for a very long time.

So much dross to get rid of :roll:

No mention of Chamakh or Park, though?! :cussing:

As for Djourou... I'd like to think he's on his way out, but didn't he sign a lucrative new contract earlier this season? :? :(

telegraph says 10 are going :
Although the club have money available, even after the £12 million arrival of Germany striker Lukas Podolski, the size of the squad and the wage bill is an issue that needs addressing.

The club are open to offers for as many as 10 senior players, although finding buyers is likely to be difficult, given some of the generous contracts that have been awarded.

Zenit St Petersburg would like to make Andrei Arshavin’s loan deal permanent, while Borussia Dortmund are interested in Nicklas Bendtner. Carlos Vela could move to Espanyol.

Manuel Almunia was among seven players released yesterday and Lukas Fabianski is now desperate for first-team football, with West Ham United a serious option. Arsenal would also listen to offers for Sébastien Squillaci, Johan Djourou, Denilson, Marouane Chamakh and Ju-Young Park.
let us hope.

This is the same question I have been asking for a while :? I know our rep at handing out player contracts is awful and deservedly so but surely even we wouldn't give a new contract to a player we were hoping to sell few months later would we ? :oops: :oops:

Arsenal have switched their attention to Toulouse captain Etienne Capoue, 23, as a cheaper alternative to Rennes' 21-year-old Yann M'Vila as the club step up their efforts to sign a holding midfielder for next season.

Aaaaah that's more like it! Why go for the quality option that costs money, when you can go for a mediocre shite Ligue 1 rubbish signing! I also heard Steven N'Zonzi mentioned LOL. Would this be the same player even Steve Kean binned for the season after his disgusting performance against Bolton? :shock:

I am personally sick and tired of crap Ligue 1 players.

Baba, what do you think of Marvin Martin? I know he's supposed to leave sochaux and we've been linked with him before but I haven't seen much footage of him besides YouTube. Think we need some creativity, was wondering if he would be much of an answer? Similar to nasri at all?

Martin is a poor man's Nasri. He'll join Lille this summer as Hazard's replacement.

Joe Cole's Loan spell @ Lille has ended so he either goes back to Liverpool or he will be available on a free !

Unlike many he wont be going to the Euro's so he will be fresh !

Just imagine him and Scott Parker together with Denilson in an Arsenal midfield !!
