Toni: 'Jovetic, Arsenal not a top club'
Luca Toni has advised Stevan Jovetic to ignore Arsenal’s calls, for “they are not better than Fiorentina. If he has to leave, make it for a real top club.”Chelsea, Manchester City and Manchester United fit that bill, but Arsenal are not better than Fiorentina

:shock: :shock: :shock: Galatasaray ready £12m offer for Arsenal forward Gervinho :shock: :shock: :shock:

By: James Dickenson
Published: Wed, March 27, 2013

ARSENAL could sell Ivory Coast forward Gervinho this summer after it emerged that Turkish giants Galatasaray are preparing to submit a bid for him.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger may look to cut his losses with struggling attacker Gervinho, with reports suggesting that Galatasaray are ready to offer £12m for his signature.

That figure would see the Gunners make a profit on the player they signed from Lille in July 2011 for a fee of £10.8m, who has failed to shine during nearly two seasons at the Emirates.

According to Turkish football website webaslan.com, Galatasaray want Gervinho to be their latest big-name signing, who would join Ivorian compatriots Didier Drogba and Emmanuel Eboue at the Istanbul outfit.

Gervinho is contracted to Arsenal until 2015, who would be likely to consider any offers for the winger after he fell down the pecking order at the North London club.

The 25-year-old started the season brightly with five goals in his first seven games, but lost form and missed a number of weeks as he went away on international duty for the African Cup of Nations.

With Wenger targeting a £25m move for Fiorentina danger-man Stevan Jovetic, the Frenchman could be tempted to cash in on Gervinho to help raise funds for the Montenegrin.

Sell him for 6, just let him goooo :barscarf:
And let's get Villa for left wing, it was said that Barca is looking for a new striker so Villa must be avaliable?

Also the rumours about Wenger sending an offer to Götze and his reaction was like this:

Agreed - Luca Toni is just an arrogant prick who clearly doesn't know his arse from his elbow.

We're allowed to slag the club off because it's ours but that doesn't mean any other *word censored* is allowed to :box:

I don't think Gervinho is as bad as people say, he's good enough for most clubs in the league but not Arsenal. Also he always seems to be away on ACON. Would take the 12m

"Montenegro striker Stevan Jovetic has agreed to join Arsenal in the summer, according to agent Guido Di Domenico."

I bet Wenger will try to turn him into a defensive midfielder :)
Although I would be happy if this really happens, I would feel sorry because this means even less chance for Poldi in ST and eventually he will get bored playing as a winger and leave.

German engineering: Arsenal plan £70m Bundesliga raid for Mario Goetze, Lars Bender and Robert Lewandowski
30 Mar 2013 22:31
Gunners boss is finally willing to smash the club's transfer record to bring in a next generation of talent


Arsene Wenger is poised to make a dramatic £70million raid on ­Germany this summer.
The Gunners boss has three targets, who play in the Bundesliga, and is willing to shatter club record fees to rebuild his squad. On the Arsenal shortlist are ­Borussia Dortmund pair Robert Lewandowski and Mario Goetze, with Lars Bender, of Bayer Leverkusen.

Striker Lewandowski – valued at £25m – is also wanted by ­Manchester United, Chelsea and Bayern Munich, but Gunners manager Wenger is keen to land the 24-year-old Poland international. His team-mate Goetze is rated as one of the most talented young players in Germany. The 20-year-old is already a member of the senior international squad.
And Bender, 24 next month, is another German international Wenger wants. He has been in outstanding form this season with Leverkusen.

The need for new arrivals has been highlighted by the news Abou Diaby’s injury jinx has struck again. He suffered a serious knee ­injury in training and could be out until next year.Chief scout Steve Rowley and his team have been scouring the German league in recent months. But Wenger is also ­considering a move for £8.5m-rated Olympique Lyons midfielder Maxime Gonalans, 24.

Do you think that the editors know that they're printing bollocks but do it anyway because people will believe it or do you think that they genuinely believe "this is the year"?

April fools came early this year :)
Basically buy half of Dortmund (add Reus if we already send a plane there).
So leave a club who is already in CL Semifinal and may as well win it for a club who is struggling to reach qualifications for CL? See picture few posts above :D
