BBC report that only Michael Essien may arrive at Arsenal today – No-one else!

Posted on August 31, 2012 by admin

The respected BBC football expert David Ormstein seems to have been talking with someone at Arsenal and he has been assured that Arsene Wenger has no intention of adding to the squad today.

With the departures of Nicklas Bendtner and Chu-Young Park this is rapidly turning into a deadwood day for Arsenal fans rather than deadline day, and Ormstein seems sure that the ONLY possible arrival could be Michael Essien on loan and that is only because Chelsea are looking to offload.

Ornstein said on the BBC: “We’ve been given word that, as things stand, it is unlikely there will be any major arrivals at Arsenal before the transfer deadline.

“Reports linking them with a move for Newcastle midfielder Chieck Tiote are wide of the mark, while there have been informal conversations with Chelsea about midfielder Michael Essien – the Blues are open to him leaving on loan – but this move will not happen unless Arsene Wenger changes his mind on a player he has not been tracking.”

So it looks like Wenger is just concentrating on getting rid of players rather than bringing in anyone else. What’s the betting that Wenger says that Theo Walcott is “like a new signing” lol!

Nuri Sahin to arrive at Arsenal imminently

Posted on August 20, 2012 by admin

Sahin’s coming! by TS

In the mix of the news floating around about who AW will bring in next it has now been reported that Arsenal have reached an agreement with Madrid over Sahin and that the deal is to be completed by tomorrow!

Our manager has reacted with lightening speed to alleviate the loss of Alex Song with only 10 days remaining in the transfer window. Wide spread reports suggest that Arsenal have agreed to a deal with Madrid for Sahin. The midfielder had been strongly linked with Liverpool, but AW has seemingly won him over with the promise of Champions League football and a £2m loan fee.

Arsenal looked to have lost the race for the Turkish International’s signature with Liverpool pushing hard all the way but without the bite to match their bark, the Turkish international decided that Arsenal would offer him more. The deal is set to include a clause which would allow AW to keep Sahin on a permanent deal if he so wishes. The boy has talent so I can see that happening with his style of play fitting perfectly with the Arsenal way.

Liverpool offered a better financial deal but with without the prospect of Champions league football, their offer fell on deaf ears with the player opting for the Emirates instead. So what does this mean for the team? Well, Sahin isn’t a direct replacement for Song, but he does offer a more creative solution to our mid field. Arteta and Diaby started against Sunderland and Sahin is expected to compete for the two spots along with Ramsey.
