I would be over the motherfucking moon if we could sign M'Vila.

Also rumours around that we could go for Kaka on loan. While I'm sure they are wildly untrue, it would be excellent.

Please god, no.

Would be great for Arsenal and would slot straight in. I like him too much, was so glad he didn't join Chelsea.

Always been the one man I wanted at United.

its like a reversal of past seasons.

we now have a great goalie, and obviously an excellent centre half, and with frimpong playing well finally cover for alex song.

attack = horrendous and shite.


it's amazing how quickly things change....we should be trusting Wenger on his defensive dealings in the future...

A few other thoughts about yersterdays game.

We can be encouraged that Squillaci seems to be way down the pecking order now with even Miquel ahead of him, and even more so after yesterday where I thought Miquel was great in his first league match.

Yet again there was plenty of spirit and determination on showm which is always great to see, especially with what the club's going through.

Also have to commend Nasri. He may be a greedy little cunt, but he did not stop running last night, and proved that whatever is happening off the field he will give his all while he's on the pitch.

Kaka in his prime was fantastic. That performance at Old Trafford in ECL semis in 2007 i think it was (the one United won 3-2)...that was brilliant. He's been curtailed by injureis recently, but if he can stay healthy, he'd make an excellent addition. Of course, it's all rumours, but would be amazing if it happened for Arsenal.

So Arsene has received another 2 match ban because of him communicating with the bench against Udinese last week.

Once again UEFA demonstrating just how much of a joke they are.

[size=6]Frimpong - Van Persie perfect for captaincy[/size]

Emmanuel Frimpong says new captain Robin van Persie is the perfect man to take Arsenal forward.

The Dutchman was appointed skipper following Cesc Fabregas’ departure to Barcelona last week and wore the armband against Liverpool on Saturday.

“I couldn’t have picked a better captain for Arsenal,” Frimpong told the Official Matchday Programme.

“I just wish him luck as captain and hopefully he can take the Club forward.

“When I was in the Reserve team and used to come over to train with the first team he was always so good to me - he makes everyone feel welcome and cracks jokes with them, which is just what you need.”

Honestly, developing such a man crush on Frimpong. Already well on his way to becoming an Arsenal legend after what he did last night.

I would laugh if Pulis, Kean and Mcarthy came out calling Arsenal dirty after Arsene had the nerve to single out Wolves, Stoke and Blackburn (I think it was these three) last year.

Arsene never singled out any team, maybe apart from Stoke. It was Danny Murphy who came out and named those 3 clubs who were perceived as dirty.

You do know that Howard Webb refereeing us and United at Old Trafford is very very close to the worst case scenario. I would rather a 3 legged dog referee us and Howard instead of Howard Webb.

[size=6]Terms agreed with Manchester City for Nasri[/size]

Arsenal can confirm that they have agreed terms for Samir Nasri to move to Manchester City.

The 24-year-old midfielder, who has spent three years with the Gunners, has been omitted from Arsenal's squad which flies to Udinese this afternoon and instead will travel north for a medical.

The move will be subject to Nasri passing a medical and formal registration processes
http://www.arsenal.com/news/news-archive/terms-agreed-with-man-city-for-nasri


Obviously us threatening to play him against Udinese forced this through. Have to say I am not that sad to see the little cunt go.

I'd like to think we've now agreed terms because we have players lined up.
