Could someone pliz confirm or clear up this, wasnt micah richards on fire playin at RB?and didnt his form dip when he moved to the centre?as for toure moving i think he wants to prompt wenger to sell gallas seeing he is 4 yrs older and at the twillight of his top flight career.

Well hopefully milan come in and give us 30 mill for ade and the rumour is ricards and tourre wil swap as hughes hates his atitude plus he is an arsenal fan whereas barry is a money fan. Would still like us to get alonso and keep fab happy and just goes to show how good gibbs is eh so I’m glad everyone got behind him after his slip.

Vermaelen is actually 6 foot 1. So, he’s pretty tall actually…

@ gunning4eva – Milan are likely “ahead of us” for Dzeko because they just sold Kaka for a world record price. We don’t have that kind of money to throw around and in this modern world, money talks!

Vermaelen deal is a good one though i would have preferred zapata.but still ajax has always been the best in holland to make great players. so bringing in their captain is a good idea.
Have u heard, suddenly milan are ahead of us in the Dzeko deal! i don’t understand, they were after Adebayor. And if we can’t bring Dzeko and ade goes, who do u think we should bring? As it seems Eboue and Sanderos may also be sold and then we will have at least 30m from these 2 and Ade. I think we should go for Benzema. what about you?

I honestly believe there will be a sale if Vermaelen comes in and I think Wenger may be looking at Kolo going to City, their interest was genuine in January and I doubt it has diminished. It would be a sad day, I love Kolo and he played his heart out for Arsenal but I just have this hunch that if Wenger gets the fee he wants the sale will be made. Sadly balancing the books is still a way of life at the Emirates for the forseeable future.

@ Fatboy – Sounds good man. If I get over there I’d love to have a beer and meet up with any Arsenal FC Bloggers that turn up.

@ georgetown gooner – We inquired about Barry but with City offering the wages they did, Arsenal nor Liverpool stood a chance, also is Vermaelen 5ft 11 or 6ft 1? I am confused, Would be a real good signing if he is the latter. If not, im still pretty happy about the signing because it shows Wenger knows what we need.

@ Gibbs – I think the deal could be done within the next 2 weeks, its just the small things that need finalising, and I hope it isnt our only transfer of the summer either.

Finally, a bit of Arsenal good news aswell, England U21 played Azerbajin U21 and won 7-0, Gibbs played 90 mins at Left Back and grabbed 2 goals, after the England senior team play Andorra, Walcott will join the England U21s in the U21-European Championships in Sweden. Both Gibbs and Walcott will represent England there and I feel both will start all the games and be in the action all the time. Dont know who else is playing from Arsenal, if any. But well done Gibbs for scoring 2.

top blog sf,enjoy your break, was a bit suprised we didnt go in for gareth barry and cant say i know too much about this vermaelen dude and tend not to believe the signing till i see him holding up the arsenal shirt next to wenger, i also get the feeling we will only make one signing before the new season starts.
