Arsenal, as usual, are being linked with many a player. For a while now we’ve been linked with one particularly interesting character by the name of Rondon; a 6ft 1in 22 y/o Venezuelan international who plays for Malaga in La Liga. Personally, I think Rondon is most likely going to go to Chelski as a replacement for Drogba but I could well be wrong about that (but I doubt it). Rondon is a very good striker, and actually brandishes many of the same attributes that Drogba possesses (possessed). Again, I don’t think Arsenal are actually going for him and rightly so, he wouldn’t have anywhere to fit in (and don’t sit there and think, “oh well he can sit on the bench and Chamakh can piss off”, Rondon is not someone who is going to sit on the bench.
The agent of Barcelona winger Ibrahim Afellay has cooled talk of a move away. Which isn’t surprising… However Karel Jansen (agent) told Fichajes.net: “Barcelona does not want to sell and Ibrahim wants to stay at the club.” Affellay probably isn’t aware of it, but he is on a lot of hopeful gooners’ minds. Somehow (with “he who should not be named” incident) I don’t think Dutch players are high on the likely transfer list, but I could be wrong about that as well.
Speaking of Dutch players, Wesley Sneijder has been linked to Arsenal…this is so outlandish that I will not elaborate any further.
Reports are out claiming that Arsenal and Newcastle United are eying PSG defender Mamadou Sakho. Le 10 Sport says Newcastle are eyeing Sakho as an alternative to FC Twente defender Douglas. Sakho made it pretty clear that he wanted to depart PSG this summer, but would it be to Arsenal?
Again, this isn’t a player that should (will) sit on the bench. Yet so many Gooners think he should sign…how would that make any sense? What, you’re going to bench Koscielny, Vermaelen or Mertesacker and replace them for no reason? Either way, if Arsenal bring a defender in it will be back up material, not a top classer.
Lastly, Andrei Arshavin looks like a sure move to Zenit now. Zenit seem to have caved in and are making a fresh move for him. This would be best for all parties, no need to discuss why.
Anyway, that’s all for now, let us know what you think.
