Barcelona and Cesc Fabregas!

The Arsenal Faction Leader wouldn't be too happy about this. :p

Despite constant denial and pledges of allegiance to the Gunners, Cesc Fabregas is still rumoured to be en route to Camp Nou! :)

And it seems that Arsenal does seem to be open to the sale of the Spanish wizard. As always, anything is possible at the right price. In this case, the "right price" stands at €46 million.

We are however looking at ways around to work this and possibly get a lower price for Cesc. How? By a player plus fee deal. Not just one, but some reports have gone far as saying that two players will be offered to possible reduce Arsenal's asking price.

The two are former English players namely Alexander Hleb and Eidur Gudjohnsen.

We looked to Ribery as a signing but Bayern are being full-time pricks by being unrealistic in the fee demanded for the French winger.

I REALLY hope we bag Fabregas. We're going to need a star signing of our own following Madrid's outrageous recent shopping spree!

Van Persie's Contract Extended

Sweet!

Robin van Persie very recently penned a new long term contract with Arsenal, reported to be worth around £80,000 a week over five years.

Van Persie was quoted saying in relation to our direction for the coming season, "There is ambition. I have spoken to both the boss and (chief executive) Ivan (Gazidis) about it," he continues, "I trust him and my message to everyone is: be patient, trust the team and the people above."

There's a good feeling surrounding the Arsenal camp and I think RVP's contract extension is fantastic seeing that Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere, Aaron Ramsey and Kieran Gibbs have all extended their obligations to the Gunners over the summer as well.

Wenger doesn't seem to concerned in getting more players at the moment and I am slightly concerned. So far the only addition to the squad is Thomas Vermaelen, the Belgium defender. I hope there's more to come though.
