		<description>[...] The Goon Blog revealed in January that Arsene Wenger had inquired about St-Etienne defensive midfielder Blaise Matuidi. At that time Arsenal asked about his availability and were told he was not for sale so Wenger did not make a bid, apparently now St-Etienne are willing to do business and Matuidi is keen on a move to England, something he made clear in the January story I published. If anything does happen on that front you will be the first to know right here. [...]</description>

		<description>All this time we were talking about buying &#039;who&#039; and &#039;whom&#039;. Questioning Arsene wisdom of buying....

Lets be more realistic and economic minded and discuss about what can we achive this season, what budget is suitable.

If the more appropriate target for us is to be in top 4, what should we do? Can we break the bank (buying those &#039;overpriced&#039; stars) and get us the league champion??? We been points behind (not saying a  8 point gap is imposible to chase) and current leaders have better chances to win it as their manpower is sufficient and key player is healthy (Stevie G, Rooney, Lampard. Ronaldo....etc) History told us that money cant buy champion, look at chelsea and Real Madrid for pass few years. Only teams of good players gel up well, plus a few key player(provided they all healthy most of the time)
, champion is posible.


                                   Almunia

Sagna           Gallas/Djourou        Toure                 Clichy

Wallcot        Denilson            Fabregas              Rosicky/Nasri

                    RVP                      Ade


Pls be reminded that we have Eduardo, vela, wilshere, ramsey, all on the bench!!!!!
If this team is healthy, are they scary??????
Ofcoz there is weakness perhaps no much cover at DM (Denilson is not my favourate at DM, juz forcing Cesc to be more defensive, sacrifice his talent. Realy miss Flamini)

Above lineup will only appear in our dream this year.
The main task now is to secure our top 4 spot to qualify for CL, to save our ass in Premier League. This is for the next year, our future.

Imho, getting a tenacious/holding midfield/DM in the form of parker, Veloso, alonso, Matuidi(maybe), is more realistic.
Adding a experienced defender (we have one in silvestre, yeh!!!) is also a more appropriate stuff (none of the rumours are realy about this sadly).

Arshavin is good, for now if the price is right..... Not sure if he is able to adapt so fast and make an impact asap. Next question is where to place him if every one return next season. Who to give way??? RVP??? Or Nasri? Wallcot????
We don nid a 20 mil subsitute......

I wouldnt be suprise to see Arsene buying none this time.
Btw, hopefully Arsharvin will be landed, with a good price.</description>
