Arsenal offload the best striker in the world

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Bob

When was the last time a footballer failed a medical? Does it ever happen? I seriously hope noy, because the director general of Italian champions Juventus has said the words that all Gooners have been longing to hear. Beppe Marotta told Sky Sports Italia,

“Nicklas Bendtner is already in Italy and will undergo a medical tomorrow.”

It has been a strange saga so far. Danish international Bendtner and his agent were going to Italt to talk to AC Milan and Juventus had agreed a deal to take Dimitar Berbatov from Manchester United. The transfer of Berbatov fell through when the Bulgarian international suddenly announced that he was going to join Fulham.

Juventus then got in touch with Arsenal and Bendtner and it seems like all parties have reached an agreement. Marotta refused to confirm the deal was done until everything is signed because he thought the deal with Berbatov was done. Apparently Berbatov had also told Fiorentina that he would sign for them. Juventus were informed that the striker had rejected Fiorentina.

“Perhaps he forgot to tell Fiorentina that.”

It has worked out well for us, though. The transfer fee is thought to be around £5 million, but that will only be paid after a year. The first year will be like a loan deal for which Arsenal will recieve £1 million and the deal will become permanent after that. The details have not been announced but it will probably have something to do with the number of appearances.

Arsenal to offload two unwanted strikers?

Posted on August 30, 2012 by Bob

Marouane Chamakh and Nicklas Bendtner are getting close to moves away from Arsenal reports claim. The greatest striker in the world, B52, has been linked with a move to italy in recent weeks, with reports of interest from AC Milan and Juventus. Both Italian sides, however, seemed to have filled the position and it was looking horribly like he would still be a Gunner when the window closed tomorrow.

Juventus may still be signing the Danish internationalafter their proposed transfer of Dimitar Berbatov from Manchester United seems to have fallen through. The Bulgarian striker has heard that Fulham want him and, according to Skysports, he would prefer to stay in the Premier league. Arsenal are not looking for a lot of money for Bendtner but his wages may be a problem.

Turkish club Besiktas have been linked with Chamakh for some time. The manager Samet Aybaba was quoted in the Turkish newspaper Milliyet saying

“We have decided to push forwards in our attempts to sign a striker. There is a high possibility we sign Chamakh.”

The 28-year old Moroccan knows that his international career will suffer if he does not play regularly and, with just one goal in his 19 appearances for Arsenal last season, he is not going to get that at the Emirates.

Arsenal offload another promising England U21 starlet

Posted on August 28, 2012 by Bob

The 21-year old midfielder Henri Lansbury has been with the Gunners since 1999 but has never managed to break through in to the first team. After a number of successful loan spells, Lansbury held talks with Arsene Wenger to get a clear idea of whether he had a future at Arsenal. After featuring a little in pre-season it was obviously decided, whether mutually or not, that he should move on.

Arsenal have now agreed terms with Championship side Nottingham Forest in a deal worth around £1 million. Forest are due to announce Lansbury as their new signing tomorrow, according to the Daily Telegraph. Forest will be hoping that Lansbury can make it three promotions in a row. Last year he made 22 appearances for West Ham, including  the successful play-offs.

The previous season Lansbury played 23 league games for Norwich City, scoring four goals and getting five assists to help them gain automatic promotion. He is a good example of Arsenal’s successful youth policy and we wish him well for the future.

Arsenal fans might remember him fondly, as he scored his only goal for Arsenal  against Tottenham in the Carling cup in 2010. It was a game that Arsenal won 4-1 and Lansbury played the whole game which he described as being “like a dream.”

Lansbury has made 14 appearances for the England U21's and has scored 5 goals. Surely he would be worth a lot more than £1 million in a few more years?

Arsenal to offload Bendtner and get Mexes in return

Posted on August 20, 2012 by Bob

Morning Gooners. So today news has broke about our infamous striker being set to make a move to the Italian shores this week. There have been constant negotiations  over his departure from Arsenal but now it seems the Dane is on his way out.

The striker has made it clear he does not see his future with the club, whilst Arsene Wenger and Arsenal have confirmed he does not figure in their plans. The problem, as we all know, lies in Bendtner’s inflated ego. He obviously thinks he’s one of the best strikers the football world has yet to see and therefore is reluctant to move to just any club. The Dane stated,

“It is not an option to stay at Arsenal, that is something neither I nor Arsenal desire. I am expecting that the club issue will be resolved before the transfer window is closed. There are serious negotiations going on.”

The striker admitted that he already has rejected some offers adding:

“Yes, I have. From the start, I had three requirements. In case they are not fulfilled, I have rejected them since they are not interesting at this point.” Obviously not making life easier for himself or Arsenal!

Milan are expected to step up their efforts to land our misfit in a swap with centre-back Philippe Mexes. Frankly, the deal sounds just plush if it’s true! The Italians are ready to offload the French star this week, and reports suggest that his £80k per week salary will be settled with a pay off deal that Milan are prepared to offer. So there you go, Arsenal board, a quality signing for a want-away striker and by the looks of it, his weekly wages will be lowered. Win win.
