i imagine it is just The Sun filling the papers in the gap that is end of premiership and start of Euro 2004. Viera and Kaka in the middle would be nice though.
 
hmmmm you think letting wiltord go is a good idea????



Ive just recently purchased the Centurions Arsenal 501 Goals DVD and to my surprise Wiltord was more often then not involved in most of the goals scored by players over the last few seasons, honestly check out the DVD and you will see he assisted many goals.


Im not convinced with Aliadiare, hes a good player but hes still to show a great performance, thiers only one game I rememeber him looking good in, and that was ages ago, is was either start ofthis season or the last, he played very silky and skilfully, but I remember two days later we found out he was playing through a injury and didnt tell anyone and he was out for almost a season !!!!!


Anyways it would be heaven if it was Moreientus who was coming, but Wenger has said no more buys maybe he means it?
 
Gunners make keeper move
Tuesday, 01 June 2004

Arsenal have reportedly made a £2.5 million bid for Celta Vigo goalkeeper Manuel Almunia.
The 27-year-old had a great season last term, as he spent the campaign playing on loan for Albacete.

He helped Albacete finish in 14th spot in La Liga while Celta were relegated after finishing second from bottom.

The shot-stopper is now looking to leave the Estadio Balaidos, and Premiership champions Arsenal are interested.

Celta secretary Felix Carnero says that they have received just one offer for the keeper, from The Gunners, and will now discuss whether they shall accept it or not.

"The only offer we've received is from Arsenal for Alumnia," Carnero said in AS.

"It's the only offer we have. We are evaluating whether to accept it or not."

Arsene Wenger still seems unconvinced by German keeper Jens Lehman and is still on the look-out for a new shot-stopper to add to his squad.


Ive never seen him play.....??
 
We no longer have Shaaban and Taylor has spent the last year injured.

As for calling Lehman shite he's not great but he still let in the least number of goals last term.
 
I'm telling you, Wenger is really interested in young Spanish players.
Heres another one:

Gunners continue to look in Spain
Wednesday, 02 June 2004

Arsenal are continuing to look to Spain for new talent with Carlos Carmona the latest player appearing on Arsene Wenger's radar.

The Mallorca midfielder is being compared to a young Luis Figo in some quarters and is an Under-17 team-mate of Highbury prodigy Cesc Fabregas.

After snaring Jose Antonio Reyes for a club record fee in January, Wenger is fully aware of the rich amount of talent being produced in Spain, and is keeping a close watch on Carmona.

Mallorca are believed to be aware of the threat of losing their promising right winger and the Balearic club have inserted a number of clauses in his contract which makes it difficult for any predators to lure him away cheaply.

Carmona is concentrating on making the step up in class with Mallorca before thinking about any move abroad.

"I like the way Luis Figo, Joaquin and Juan Carlos Valeron play," he told Marca.

"To be able to play in the pre-season with the first team would be a dream."

Scout Steve Rowley has been spotted watching the young wide man.

I agree with you there.

Well Lehmann is so shit that Arsenal hardly conceded any goals compared to any teams. Lehmann isnt that bad, he maybe clumsy in some games but overall hes done a great job.
 
H emakes high profile errors such as the fuck ups against leeds and Kiev and sometimes his kicking is poor, ie the mutu goal in the FA cup.
 
Well all those problems with him should, and hopefully will be sorted out for next season.

Making our defence even stronger :)
 
It is strong enough, you conceded the least goals last season. Although we had the most clean sheets.

Lehmann is a class act. You can count the errors he made on one hand, as NickyBaker says they all seemed to come in high profile TV games which was unfortunate.

He is a massive improvement over the David Seaman of a couple of years back. The fact that he is a bit of a nutter just adds to his appeal.

Arsenal loan Bentley to Norwich


Norwich have completed the loan signing of Arsenal forward David Bentley on a season-long deal.
Arsene Wenger was keen for the England Under-21 international to gain some first-team experience after he made a handful of appearances for the Gunners last season, scoring a superb first senior goal against Middlesbrough in the FA Cup during January.


The 19-year-old Peterborough-born forward, who can play either out wide or up front, is Norwich's second signing in the space of two days. Scotland goalkeeper Paul Gallacher joined the First Division champions yesterday after leaving Dundee United.

Norwich manager Nigel Worthington had been tracking the player for some time and was delighted to have finally got his man.

'It's excellent news,' he told the Norwich Evening News.

'It's nice to get such a player from such a massive club.

'Hopefully, this will send out a little message to one or two clubs that have been in the Premiership for a while now that Norwich City can compete with them - particularly if we sell ourselves in the right way.

'That we are a nice, family club that looks after players.'

Bentley's versatility made him an attractive capture as Worthington looks to build a side capable of avoiding an immediate return to the First Division.

'He is in the Bergkamp-mould, but he's flexible,' added the Norwich manager.

'He can play wide out on the right, wide out on the left and behind the front two.

'To have that kind of flexibility in what's going to be not the biggest of squads will be very, very useful.'

Arsenal boss Wenger believes Bentley has the potential to become a regular at Highbury, but feels he would benefit from an extended run of first-team football.

'I will either give him a chance or put him on loan somewhere to play,' revealed the Frenchman earlier this year.

'He is the closest now and he is losing time somewhat in reserve-team football.

'I can tell you he is a top, top player technically. He is also a winner-type and needs to play in the first team now.

'It is a critical time for him and I know there is some frustration within him because he has not had too many chances here. Between the ages of 18 and 21 I find players the most difficult to manage.'


Hopefully he'll develop as a player and we can take him back after the season finishes and he can shine in the red of Arsenal.
