Inter Milan have joined Chelsea and Liverpool in expressing an interest in signing Arsenal winger Theo Walcott. The 23-year-old is out of contract next summer.

Full story: Daily Star


Eyewitness video footage shows that Robin van Persie was actually cheered during Arsenal's friendly win against Cologne on Sunday, contradicting reports the striker was booed by the Gunners' travelling support.

the replacement is giroud, wake up mate.

cazorla comes for fabregas (yeah i know, a year late) and because of jack's injury, giroud comes in for RVP and podolski comes for arshavin's old place (a bit too late as well).

Football Agent 007 ‏@EPLAgent007
Robin Van Persie has decided not to move to Manchester United. Arsenal still hopeful he'll stay. #MUFC
Football Agent 007 ‏@EPLAgent007
Barcelona are considering a bid for Van Persie, but will only pay as high as £15 million. RVP would have to force the move. #AFC #FCB

Just want this saga to end.

It's a load of tosh imo.
if they are willing to pay 22mill for a 29 yr old be happy to take that.

what did you hear about Sahin and Niang?
why would you care about us losing out on Niang, have you seen him play?

No he never, he said they have done all they can to convince him, not the same at all.

If we end up signing this Belgian guy from Olympiakos it will undo all the work done so far. Football players go to Greece and Turkey to die/retire so why the hell would we go back there to sign someone? :banghead:

Same old thing is going to happen, we'll hold out for an extra 50p from United for RVP then panic with an hour to go on the last day of the transfer window and accept an 18m offer for him. Too late to sign any fecker then.
This is Arsenal.

a ludicrous claim, we could sign you for £8M and it wouldn't impact on whether the other signings are successful or not. Did signing Jeffers for £8M "undo the work" of Sol on a free?

he failed at St Etienne then did well at Olympiakos - maybe just a late developer. Drogs and Wrighty were even older before they started to show their true potential. Silly to write off all players from any league. I think sometimes failing to make it at the top level refocusing and coming back shows strength of character (David Platt for example)

This is Arsenal.
we've already brought in 2 strikers, you seem dead set against us signing a (relatively) young forward as our 3rd signing in that position...
To me its exactly the opposite of the 'same old thing' - up front we've done our business early.
If we sold Song and failed to get M'Vila and/or Sahin then you could complain.

Anyway Mirallas - only seen him play a couple of times (v us and England I think)
He's a poor mans Cristiano Ronaldo - fast, direct, loves a flick and a trick, dives, good in the air, deceptively strong, greedy. What he seems to lack is Ronaldo's extraordinary shooting power. On an upward goalscoring curve 14 then 18 in the league for Olympiakos. £8M seems a relatively good price.

Yeah he said that c**t alonso is trying to persuade him to go to the victims :roll: There are always a load of rumours that have absolutely zero foundation but I do happen to believe the story of our interest in him and I will be disappointed if we do lose out on him because of the club dragging it's heels as usual. One of my major criticisms of wenger in recent seasons has been his absolute inability to see what is right under his nose and I was hoping that the signing of a proper DM would suggest a change in attitude from the CIC

Sahin nicks the ball a lot but I see his main strength as creativity rather than destruction
not sure he's a 'proper DM'... more Pirlo than Makalele
