I must start off by thanking all the journalists out here for their helpful contribution to this blog, linking no fewer than 9 players with moves to the Emirates today.
For a change, there was only the one 'keeper linked with us today, West Ham's Robert Green, but I think that this speculated move is about as likely as the Pope being Protestant!!! If the rumour-mill is to be believed though, the Hammers could be set to lose two players to Arsenal, as former Gunner Matthew Upson has again been linked with a return to North London. There would certainly be merits to the projected move; he is after all a solid, experienced defender, who could be picked up on the cheap.
Rather worryingly, it seems Sol Campbell is waiting for Gallas and Silvestre to play their hands before committing to another year with Arsenal, he has apparently been offered a new one year deal. I really hope he signs, as he's probably been Arsenal's player of the second half of the season.
Today has also seen Arsenal linked with: Kwandwa Asamoah, Yoann Gourcruff, Bafetimbi Gomis, Guiseppe Rossi, Arda Turan, Edin Dzeko & Jack Rodwell. I feel that the only one of these worth really writing about is Gourcruff. He's a quality midfielder, who has worked well with Chamakh at Bordeaux. Were, and this is a huge if, Fabregas to leave for Barcalona, I feel that he could be a suitable replacement, although, if Ramsey is as good as he was pre-leg break, I think that he'd be surplus to requirements in midfield, especially with an exceptionally promising Henri Lansbury returning from a fruitful loan spell at Watford.
