Benzema to join Arsenal?

On his way to Arsenal?

Over the last few days there have been a number of reports and story’s linking us to the Lyon front man. It is also said both Real Madrid and Man utd are thinking about moving for the striker.

The main part of the story seems to depend on us selling Ade for around 20 million to AC Milan. The Lyon director of communications, Olivier Blanc has said that there as no been no offers from any club but Real Madrid have spoken to the club about the player.

“We had first contact with Real in the middle of last week.

“Anyway €32m (�27m) is not very realistic. If Madrid really made an offer, it would have been superior.”

Now i would love to wake up one morning and see we have signed him, but i can’t see there been any chance we could win the race to sign him. The fact Both real Madrid and Man utd are after him suggests the figure will be much higher than 27 million and i can’t see Wenger or Arsenal ever paying that.

So what are your views is this a pipe dream or could this ever happen and does Wenger even want the player.

Gilberto recommends Arsenal

Gilberto Silva

Ex Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva has told Brazil team-mate Felipe Melo he should  join Arsenal.

According to press reports Arsenal  have  made an offer for the Fiorentina midfielder, 25, who has been on international duty at the Confederations Cup.

Gilberto, who left the Emirates last summer to join Panathinaikos, told BBC Sport:

“We heard rumours and he asked me. I said it’s a fantastic club and if he’s interested he should go without thinking.”

“He is exactly what they need – a powerful player with quality.

“If they got him it would be great because he is a player they need at the moment.

“I’m sure if they got him it would be a good signing. I have told him Arsenal is a great club and I am sure next season they will improve.”

Usmanov to give Arsenal 100m

Usmanov set to invest

A few months ago there was a few press story’s claiming that Usmanov had offered to pay 100 million of the clubs debt off to free up funds for transfers, At the time it was made clear or at least it looked that way, that the club was not interested in the offer.

The arsenal board now look like they are looking into the possibility, In a recent interview Ivan Gazidis said that the offer will be discussed at the next board meeting.

“We are open-minded about considering a capital-raising exercise, but we have to look at that responsibly, with a view to its long-term consequences.”

So it would appear that maybe this could happen now but the board still have doubts about Usmanov’s long term intentions. Usmanov’s company Red & White own a 25% share of Arsenal worth around 120 million, but many people believe this is just his way of trying to get a seat on the board or simply to buy the fans.

Im unsure how i feel about this i don’t really want him to take anymore control of Arsenal but i can see the benefits this would bring to the team both long tearm and short term.

AC confirm Ade intreast

Another day and another Ade story but i get the feeling this one might have legs, AC Milan vice-president Adriano Galliani has confirmed the Serie A giants are interested in signing Emmanuel Adebayor.

Galliani has again confirmed he has spoken to Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger about Adebayor and it would appear this storry is more than the usual tabloid stuff.

“Adebayor is the alternative to Dzeko, but I’ve called Arsenal to inform them of our interest,” re-affirmed Galliani.

“I’ve spoken to Arsene Wenger and Adebayor was part of the conversation.”

I know a lot of people say we should be buying not selling, but i feel we can easily cope without him and any money would be huge help in getting the DM we all want.
