Thierry Henry to Manchester United?! What?!

Could Thierry Henry be on his way back to the Premiership? There is a rumor that Manchester United are interested in signing Henry from Barcelona! What?!! Thierry Henry? TH14?! Arsenal's Hero?!
Even if this is true, he can't do this, he just can't, this would be devastating for Arsenal fans. Henry had said he would only return to England to play with Arsenal.

Here is the thing with me, i expect loyalty, i know that a lot of players could careless and just want a paycheck (Ronaldo, played for Barcelona and Real Madrid and AC Milan and Inter Milan).

When Henry left Arsenal i was very upset (and i'm a Liverpool fan), because i was very grateful to him for all the great football he gave the Premiership. But i understood that is was time for him to go, he had been with Arsenal for years and gave them a lot, and sometimes it just time to move on, as upset as i was i got it, it was time to move on.
But if he would come back to the EPL and play for another club, i would lose some respect for him.

I'm really hoping this is a rumor that has not truth behind it.
So gooners, what do you think of all of this?

Robin Van Persie to Juventus? and Diego to Chelsea?

Is Robin Van Persie on his way out of Arsenal and on his way to Juventus? Reports have surfaced saying that Juventus will meet Arsenal to discus the possibility of the player leaving. It is being reported that Van Persie no longer gets along with Arsene Wenger and is open to leaving the club.

I think Van Persie is a very good player, with one big problem he is very injury prone. When he is fit he is a very good player, but he can be out for months.
If he leaves Arsenal definitely will need to find a good replacement for him. I would hate to see him leave Arsenal, when he is fit he plays beautiful football and i would hate to see the premiership lose that.

Reports have surfaced saying that Chelsea are interested in Werder Bremen's Diego.
But do they really need him? I think Chelsea have one of the best midfield's in the world and with Frank Lampard staying, would he get any playing time?
Chelsea of course have denied these reports.

I have always said that i think Diego is a fantastic player and i would love for him to get more attention, he really is very good and would compliment any team. When will he get the move he finally deserves?
Pay attention to Diego he is a quality player.

What is up with Gareth Barry and David Bentley?

What is up with Gareth Barry? Is he going or staying? Depending on what you are reading he is staying, The Sun reported that Liverpool missed the deadline set by Aston Villa by 15 mins, The Times is also reporting that he will stay, The Daily mail is reporting that Barry has secured a deal, Villa will get £17.5million fee and Steve Finnan.
Aston Villa's official site released a statement saying that he will be staying, Martin O'neill told the site:
"Naturally we're all absolutely delighted that Gareth will be staying at Villa Park and relieved that there is resolution and closure to the transfer saga.

"At a very positive meeting on Monday it was agreed between Gareth, his agent, Mr Lerner and myself that a deadline should be communicated to Liverpool to finally resolve the situation.

"Liverpool were informed and that deadline came and passed. Now we can all look forward to the season ahead with relief, anticipation and ambition."

So is he staying at Villa? or has he moved to Liverpool and will be announced Thursday?
Now as a Liverpool fan i would love to see Barry at Liverpool, i think he is a good midfielder and works well with Gerrard.
But I completely understand Villa fans, it hurts to know that your best player wants to leave, and you feel betrayed, this is a guy who has been at the club for years and is the heart and soul of the team it hurts to know he wants to leave. I feel you Villa fans.

Tomorrow we will see what really happened.

So it seems David Bentley is moving to Tottenham (ESPN Soccernet is reporting that he has signed), but of course we have to remember that Mr. Bentley is a formal Arsenal player. And it seems like Arsenal fans are furious that he is on his way to Spurs.

Now i love Arsenal fans, they are some of my favorite fans (more on that later) but i have to disagree. Its not like this is Thierry Henry or Fabregas moving to Tottenham! Yes Bentley was in the youth academy but if i recall correctly he has one start for Arsenal! (first team). And he was sold very cheap to Blackburn, so he was obviously not a very important player to the club.
So c'mon Gooners give this guy a break, he is a good player and left Arsenal because he was not playing, its not like he left Arsenal directly to Tottenham.

Lets talk about the latest transfers rumors...

After a very long hiatus the blog is back! And today i want to talk about the latest transfer rumors, even though i must say this transfer season has not been very entertaining

--Newcastle Goalkeeper Shay Given to Arsenal-I think that Almunia is a decent GK and maybe Arsenal should get a new younger GK just in case. I think this rumor is false. Since Lehmann left Almunia has taken the role of number 1 GK and i don't think Shay Given is going to leave Newcastle where he has a start every game to sit on the bench at Arsenal.

--Arsenal Defender Philippe Senderos to Newcastle for £4m, I've actually heard a lot about this and from what i'm hearing, Mr. Wenger does not want to sell Senderos, but the board does. Not a big loss for Arsenal and a good buy for Newcastle, i say Arsenal should sell him. We will see how this turns out.

--Real Madrid Forward Robinho to Chelsea, how many season have we been hearing this? the rumor is that Chelsea have offered around £31.5m, I can see this move happening, Chelsea need a striker, but i think this deal but up to whether Real Madrid sign either Ronaldo or Kaka, i don't think they would let him go if they don't have a back up plan.

--AC Milan Midfielder Kaka to Chelsea (move would not happen if Chelsea get Robinho) depending on what you have been reading he is off to Chelsea or Real Madrid, he is a quality player and any club would love to have him, but he does not seem interested in leaving Milan and Milan don't see interested in selling him, be we all know Mr. Abramovich can hand any team a blank check and get what he wants. I don't see him leaving Milan, and if he were to leave it would be to Real Madrid.

--Valencia Forward David Villa to Real Madrid or Tottenham since the Euros ended Villa has been linked with a move everywhere. He has come out and said that he does not want to leave Valencia, but he is 25, it might be time for a move. I think he could go to Real Madrid, if this were to happen I'm pretty sure they would sell Robinho. I think that most people would think he would not move to Tottenham, but i don't think this is such a crazy idea, true Tottenham or not in the top 4 and he would be giving up Champions league football, but its a new league, a Spanish manager and they are in a building stage, he could become a hero at Tottenham if he chose to go.

--Tottenham Forward Dimitar Berbatov to Manchester United Tottenham want £38m Man U want to pay £25m, i think no matter what Tottenham have to sell him, He does not want to be there and who wants a player that does not want to play for the club? In my opinion Spurs are being greed, to me his is not worth that much.

--Lyon Forward Karim Benzema to Manchester United, Lyons is probably the most annoying club to buy from they are greedy and change their prices all the time, Benzema has been linked with them for a while now, what i'm hearing is that its up to Man U signing Berbatov, whether or not this deal is made.

--Blackburn Rovers Forward Roque Santa Cruz to Manchester United, now that Mark Hughes is not at Blackburn i can really see him moving, but I'm also hearing that this transfer depends on the Berbatov/Man U move.

--Arsenal Midfielder Cesc Fabregas to Real Madrid, for a while there have been rumors of him leaving but he has come out and said he is not ready to leave Arsenal, but that in some future he would like to play for Real Madrid. So for now FALSE.

--Tottenham Forward Robbie Keane to Liverpool, there have been a lot of rumors that this is a done deal and that we are just waiting for the announcement and as a Liverpool fan i would love to have him, but if Tottenham sell Berbatov (which it seem like they will) how can they sell Robbie Keane? What strikers will they have left? I won't believe until is see it.
