So 2 days left in the transfer window, yet we are yet to see any type of marquee signing, or in fact any signing to encourage the fans or team since the arrival of Gervinho.
Transfer Speculation:
Yossi Benayoun - Chelsea
The central attacking midfielder who is like Luka Modric, could prove to be a shrewd move, but Yossi has tonnes of Premier League experience at the highest level for Liverpool and albeit not so much at Chelsea. He's creative and doesn't get much playing time at the Blues. May be some truth to this.
Andres Santos - Fenerbahce
This is one Brazilian with flair, unlike Denilson. He has skill in abundance and the video below says it all. Apparantly we've struck a deal for this attackign elft back from Fenerbahce for £6.2 million. The left winger turned left back is a Brazilian International and plays for the biggest club in Turkey. However how is his defensive ability compared to his attacking. If it proves to be the same, we would have one hell of a player on our hands. To be honest this could have some truth as we've sold on Armand Traore to QPR.
Gary Cahill - Bolton Wanderers
This transfer saga (and it has become a saga) is almost as long as the Fabregas transfer saga. Why can't we do what Barcelona have done and just get our man in the end. He clearly wants to come to Arsenal, Arsenal clearly want him. Just sort the fee out and help yourselves a little to ease the pathetic defending we saw against Manchester United. Cahill apparently has a a medical arranged for him before the window shuts, I just hope the door doesn't slam shut in our faces.
Eden Hazard - Lille
So... we're back to another player who we've been linked for a while. SA similar type of transfer to that of Nasri from Marseille to Arsenal. The fear is that Arsenal would be a stepping stone to Barcelona, Real Madrid or Manchester City. He is a quality player and will link up well as a front three with himself, van Persie and Gervinho. He, like Cahill, has apparently had a medical arranged for him to make the process of the transfer being as easy as possible.
Those two medical's are likely to be tomorrow. They have to be, we can't mess around come August 31st!
Park Chu-Young - Monaco
As I have already released a post on Park Chu-Young, I won't dwel too much on it. But Wenger said we are close to signing a striker. This can only be him. Arsenal do their business quietly, but usually we know before Arsenal.com release any kind of statement. The wonders and speed of the Internet for you!

Lille Close to Agreement for Hazard
Reports have come out of France that Lille are close to agreeing a fee for Hazard. THere are no excuses to throw down big money towards Hazard, if he really is going to improve our squad, especially after receiving huge income from the sales of Fabregas and Nasri.
As we made it clear it to you previously, Arsenal has just formulated a proposal of thirty million euros for Belgian international attacker Eden Hazard (20), whose contract expires in June 2015, but without success. A new offer of thirty-five million euros is set to be made.
According to our information, the Lille player has already made an agreement with the Gunners over a future transfer. Concern is very much on the side of the club of president Michel Seydoux.

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!
