9 days left of the transfer window and yet it's still quiet on our front. It actually makes you wonder if we will sign any one at all. Wenger has come out and said that he'll sign experienced players. I'll believe it when I see it Arsene, change your stubborn ways.
Transfer Speculation:
Eden Hazard - Lille
All summer we had been linked with Hazard and he was the star player last season for Lille. Instead we opted for Gervinho, who had proven a good bit of business. How ever if we can get Eden into our team as well, then we'll have two players who know each others game and we could have a deadly attack. Even though there are sources claiming a deal is to be done for £20m+, I still can't see Wenger getting his man, as Lille have already said he's not going anywhere.
Scott Parker - West Ham United
I'm pretty surprised no one has snapped up West Ham's player of the season last year even after their relegation to the Championship, but I still think he'll move on to a Premier League team before the transfer deadline. We are linked with him yet again, with Arsenal desperately looking for experienced players. I'd take him in a heart beat, that's how bad our situation has got. Apparently we've sent a scout to watch him, in my opinion, why on earth do you need to watch him, he's played top flight football and a proven player for many years. You either want him or you don't.
Gedion Zelalem - Olney Soccer Club
On a brighter note, we've signed someone! That's right a 14 year old, who'll join us on his 16th birthday in January 2013, juts what we need! We saw this guy in the Dallas Cup, which Arsenal Youth basically took part in. One for the future?... far distant future if you ask me.
Kaka - Real Madrid
We had a high note through news of Zelalem signing for us *sighs*... but to more disheartening news. Yesterday I spoke of Kaka's odds to join us looked more promising, but the Brazilian squashed rumours straight away by insisting he is staying to prove his worth and gain trust from Mourinho in order that he can start for Real. Well that one didn't last long did it.

Transfer Window Countdown: 10 Days
I can't believe we are going into this new season with ten days left of the transfer window open, only for us to have signed three 'youth' players and one relatively young but good Ligue 1 winner. I therefore have decided to do a daily countdown of the latest speculation news regarding our transfers. Hopefully we will sign someone between now and midnight on Wednesday 31st August 2011, we have to.
The signing of Gervinho has been a breath of fresh air and brings a more direct approach with a player finally with the ability to go past a player. Carl Jenkinson, although a decent right back, he'll be one who can mature into something we're looking for in three/four years time. Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Ryo Miyachi both haven't even made a competitive appearance for Arsenal, and the way injuries and suspensions continue to build up, they'll be thrown into action.
Transfer Speculation:
Kaka - Real Madrid
The odds have dropped from 14/1 to 10/1 for Kaka to join the Gunners on Sky Bet. He fits the bill perfectly, we need a marquee signing, a world class signing, but to sign a big player like that, it'll take time to get every detail correct. It could drag on to the last day of the transfer window.
Riccardo Montolivo - Fiorentina
The 26 year old Italian midfielder has been strongly linked with Bayern Munich, but talks have slowed down there and now rumours of the door has now opened for Arsenal to take advantage.
Per Mertesacker - Werder Bremen
Arsenal are to offer a swap deal to Werder Bremen for Per Mertesacker, with Niklas Bendtner going to the other direction. Per would be an ideal defensive addition, with plenty of International and UEFA Champions League experience. The ever growing injury list in defense and cries of a centre back being requested form football pundits and fans, this seems like it may have some legs.

Nasri - Kaka - Forget 'Arsene Knows'..... 'George Knows'
The pressure is building on Arsenal and the board to go out and buy the players we need to push for a top 4 spot, and face it we aren't no no shape or form to mount a title challenge this season.
Nasri played yesterday against Liverpool, but to be honest we were short on first team players, so he had to play. But talks seem to have broken down and now it looks like we're going to keep him at least till next summer. But also it is reported that the deal will be completed and this is only a minor hick-up over a £3m signing on fee.
On the sale of former captain and head figure Cesc Fabregas, we no longer have a star player in our ranks. This has lead to rumours of Kaka being targeted by Arsenal. This is one player who would fit into the team to bring back the counter attacking days of Arsenal.
I can't see this one happening , although Kaka seems to spend a lot of time coming off the bench for Real Madrid. His wages would be a factor that won't even have Arsenal consider a bid for the Brazilian International.
Former Arsenal manager who won that famous league triumph on the last day of the 88/89 season at Anfield has had said the following on Arsenal's current circumstance on Radio Five Live Sportsweek programme:
"They need experienced, outstanding players and I think they need about another three in the side at the present time."
The Scot added, "They've got the money, let's sit down, get some of these players in he's supposed to be after and let's see if they can start winning trophies again."
"They have big signs at the club saying 'Arsene knows'. Well I hope he does," added Graham.
"I think he's going to be there this season. I think he's under a little bit of pressure just now from the fans.
"But I think Arsene, if he sits down and is honest with himself, he'll put it all back together again. But he needs to do some hard thinking."
"Please get the the cheque book out Arsene. I think they need another centre-half, I think they still need a strong, outstanding, experienced midfield and I still think they need an out-and-out striker like a (Thierry) Henry."
You tell them (Arsene and the board) George!

One of many stars at Madrid... can be the star at Arsenal!

Arsenal Sign Argentinean
We have been waiting for our first signing of the summer with anticipation after Arsene Wenger mentioned we'll be out to spend this summer. There's no doubt Arsenal need to spend this summer after last seasons capitulation.
Well according to reports after Palermo president Maurizio Zamparini stated that Argentinean 23 year old winger, who plays his football at Club Atlético Vélez Sársfield, is already on his way to Arsenal.
"We did have a concrete bid for Alvarez and had him in our grasp back in January," he told Radio Kiss Kiss.
"Unfortunately, we didn't complete the move in time, so we lost him to Arsenal."
"At this moment he has already signed for the Gunners."
Nicknamed "Ricky", the 6 ft 2 inc attacking midfielder/winger has a similar style of football to Kaka and Robert Pires. A video below will show you that. Alvarez would be a good addition with added height and physicality to our team. Reportedly a signing fee for around £11 million (but Arsenal always use undisclosed fee anyway).
As most Arsenal fans say, I'll believe it when it's up on Arsenal.com. They best hurry up then.
