Fabregas - Hopefully back for Saturday

Happy Friday;

Not much kicking about in all honesty apart from a story hitting the news claiming Chavski defender Alex is on his way out of the club. I like him, i think he is a bloody good defender, athough being a cunt for pretty much knocking us out the Champions League playing for PSV a couple of years ago!

We could do far worse than make an approach for him as he has decent experience, he is still pretty young and could be a very good partner for Gallas, Toure or Djourou. I couldnt imagine he would cost mega-bucks either, especially if he hands in a transfer request in the current economic climate.

Alex is claimed to have said,

“I told Chelsea a few days ago that I wanted to leave.

“There are many options. But I have to think them through and see if Chelsea will let me leave in January.”

There is the usual suspect mooted to be a destination (AC Milan), and Seville. Well we are better than both those clubs and for 10 million he would be worth a splash; especially if we can sell Bendtner for about 7 million, its time for him to move. Chelsea would make big profit after buying him for a dollar!

Another player linked with us is Hangeland, who Roy Hodgson admits could come to us if we come knocking;

“I’m not naive enough to say it’s impossible that a player will leave the club because I’m aware of our position vis-a-vis some of the other clubs in the division.

“If the day comes and I hope it won’t, we’ll do everything in our power to keep him – that’s the first thing.

Whilst also stressing there had not yet been contact made regarding Brende;

“I must also add that this is only speculation. We haven’t had any clubs contacting us about Brede”

I think there is too much smoke around Arsenal’s interest in defenders at the moment, no smoke without fire, as the saying goes.

There was also news that no less than five players could return for the Boro’ game, and by God do we need them, the players are;

Gael Clichy, Cesc Fabregas, Robin van Persie, Emmanuel Adebayor and Bacary Sagna.

Our best players without doubt. I will preview the game in more depth tomorrow.

Silvester fish has been chatting about our chances of winning something this year and is optimistic we will win something, i think we can win something, we are more than capable its just down to whether Wenger respects the competitions left to play for. Basically meaning if he plays the kids in the FA Cup we will get knocked out, if he plays the kids in the Champions League again we will get knocked out, if he plays the kids in the Premiership we will lose; thus surrendering points to the bastards above us; thus meaning we will not stand a hope in hell of winning the league.

The lesson here; play the kids.

Im only joking at this point in time but Wenger really cant play them again, im fed up of hearing about the future and the “qualiteee” as Gooner14 so brilliantly puts it. We need to see a difference on the pitch and that has to be ammended in the January transfer window, if we don’t buy i think we are royally bolloxed. Im going over old ground here but its how i really feel.

So what do you think? Please do let us know your thoughts on possible transfer targets or your ideal player you want in an Arsenal shirt. If we can get some good discussion going it would be great and im sure me and Gooner will be around to chip in where neccessary and get rid of and kids who want to cause mayhem.

Don’t forget, you can get ‘The Goon’ news and views sent direct to you phone for free, ‘Click Here’ for details.

Back with a proper preview Tomorrow; Til then take care.

Over to you, comment away!

Back to Arsenal, and a lot has been going on with a win against Dynamo Kiev, as unconvincing as it was it will raise confidence ahead of our last chance saloon on Sunday, away to Chelsea. A new CEO Ivan Gazidis, who has been a major part in the success of the MLS in America, find out more about him here and here.

Well, ol pink boots won it for us, as he came on he recieved some horrendous jeers and his celebration showed he was not happy with that, Ive always said that Niklas Bendtner is a fantastic finisher, a bit more work on his all round game and he will be a hell of a player. Hopefully now he has confidence to move on and start scoring.

Cesc made a very good start as captain but its quite clear he is cream crackered. I think Gazidis’s appointment now means we will buy in January with his exprience in contract and player negotiation, i think that was key in him being offered the job. Hopefully we buy a tenacious strong and experienced midfielder to help Cesc because once we have him, we can rotate Cesc to get him the rest he needs to last until the end of the season.

There have been rumours around that Bendtner is on his way out, utter trollop i think, why would Wenger give up on him now? it is ridiculous papers that have suggested it after all!

I also think that Senderos and Traore should return from their loans at the end of the season, Traore offers us a genuine wide option whilst Senderos is a damn good defender when he is confident, i think Wenger sent him to Milan A) because Flamini is there and they are mates, B) its a defensive league and he is learning off great defenders there.

I just hope Milan dont make him an offer afterwards.

Ahead of the Chelsea game Fabregas has said we will go there to attack,

“Our target is to go there and win,” We need to get some points back.

“Arsenal never go for a draw and a club like Chelsea will be the same as us. Every time I have played against them they have gone forward and tried to gain victory. We will expect it will be the same on Sunday.

This lad really does say all the right things doesnt he? his pass to Bendtner was not half bad either!

Its heard that Nasri, Adebayor and Sagna are 50/50 for Sundays game, but it being on Sunday does give them a better chance of playing.

Right, things are really hectic at the moment so il try and blog before Sunday, if i dont manage to then i hope you find a good, clear and lag free stream!

Til then.
