We fucking wish
Actually they are "best friends". A few years ago Iniesta said in an interview it would be a dream to play with David.
I wasn't saying they weren't best friends, but that's certainly not who's ending up here.

Of course not.
David Villa?
I'd be upset if we didn't inquire if he's available for £15.9m...yellamcfc said:Rumoured to be completing his move to Le Arse thursday £15.9m
A good signing for them I reckon.

We don't need him.
Our attacking options are overflowing as it is, it's a central defender and deep-lying midfielder that are required, although I wouldn't mind us signing RVP as I've heard Dzeko is definitely going. :(
Although if Mancini decided to play 3 CB's and 2 wing-backs, then Danny Alves would be an awesome signing and move Micah to CB with Kompany and Lescott.
Just wish were linked with him.

We could sign him at that price and sell Johnson for around £10million to £12million. Considering Cazorla is three times the player Johnson is that would be great business.
(Assuming anyone wants Johnson)

You have a good point, but what about the home-grown/English quota for squad purposes?
*Edit*
Could it be a condition of the RVP transfer, that we stay away from Cazorla and Van Persie is ours????

I'm not sure but we should have enough for this season, we can register Boyata and Nimely if necessary (over-21s), while Razak and Guidetti become eligible to register next year I think.

Only my personal view, but Boyata, Nimley and Razak will never be good enough for what we want to achieve, altough Guidetti might have what it takes to reach the next level.

No but we couldn't fill a 25 man squad last year (and that was with Hargreaves, Onuoha, and Bridge included) so we could register either Boyata and Nimely even if we don't intend to use them (but to fill a homegrown spot), unless Mancini decides to splash out on squad players, leaving no room in the squad.
Santi Cazorla is due to fly into London this week for a medical with Arsenal, Sky Sports understands

I am sure it has been said before, but there is no requirement to have a full 25 man squad with the 8 homegrown quota, If you have no HG players you are allowed a maximum of 17 over 21's but as many under that age as you like, many teams in the league don't have a full 25, Chelsea were 3 or 4 players out at the start of last season IIRC, Arsenal's squad mas made up of a good few under 21 regulars. Whilst of the players you listed, Hargreaves is n't home grown he grew up in Canada, came through in Germany and his first experience of English domestic football was with utd. With the England team players plus Clichy we have 7 out of the 8 needed to have a full 25, Boyaya might be worth having if we are going to play him, but otherwise there is no point, and as we are likely to add another CB, he would have little chance of football even in the league cup. The only space I could see for those players is if we need them to make up a CL squad, but even in that scenario they may be useless as I am sure you can enter with a less than full squad and very rarely do you see a full 25 CL feature.
There only reason I could see for players to stick around with no playing time other than for the reserves, (have n't we opted out of that league anyway?)
is if they are on wages that another club is unlikely to pay them, so they hang about for a year, knowing they will get another contract some where else but happy to pick up a good wedge until they do. An example perhaps is someone like Gavin Hoyte, only just left Arsenal at 22; made 1 appearance in 2008-9 nothing since, as had a few loan spells but none where he made an impact, he may have had injury problems which may have had an impact on a move way or made his mind up to collect the good wages Arsenal pay their kids, he is now in league 2 with Dagenham. Our boys will end up that low if they are left to hang around like spare parts, either give them loans to establish themselves as footballers, or sell them on. If we want to get a good return on them now is the time;we might get 0.5-1 mil for Nimely and could squeeze as much as 3 or 4 for Boyata.
If we put them in the squad we need to have a use for them, other wise it makes much more sense for us to save costs, try to get a good fee for them and say good luck and good bye, and it makes sense for them to try an establish playing regularly at a club as high up as possible.

Arsenal looking to wrap up the signings of Sahin and cazorla within the next 48 hours allegedly.
Podolski is awful as far as I can tell and who knows with the French striker.Andouble said:Arsenal have bought well. Still no defenders and they have the most overrated goalie in the world, but they will be tough, RVP or no RVP.
I've been fooled by their signings in the past - Arshavin didn't fulfil potential, Gervinho is not great and Chamak (sp?) started well and got crap very quickly for example. Chamberlain and Arteta on the other hand were great recent signings.
Who knows how they'll do this season. They will surely not start as bad as last season. It'll be interesting to see. Can't wait for the season to start.

French geezer has looked like a typical Stoke player when I've seen him but perhaps I just caught him on bad days. Podolski is crap.
