Bella storia il rinnovo di Arsène se arriva a fine contratto si va per i 20 anni e oltre

La statistica più impressionante secondo me è quella delle qualificazioni Champions. In 18 stagioni l'ha fallita solo il primo anno dove rimase fuori per la differenza reti col Newcastle. Se passa il preliminare di agosto saranno 17 partecipazioni consecutive, seconda striscia aperta più lunga dopo quella del Real. Ma la potenza economica delle due squadre è stata ed è tutt'ora leggermente diversa

Per anni ha dovuto ingoiare di tutto, ora dategli sti soldi da spendere cribbio!

Eh, Cortese + Pochettino in pochi mesi secondo me il colpo è duro..

Oggi s'è sfogato Wanyama e potrebbe anche lui partire (ti dirò che uno cosi' servirebbe ad Arsène..), poi Lallana, Rodriguez, Shaw, ora si parla di Lambert.. lo stesso Lovren è corteggiato.. Non è facile.. Nomi x la panchina? Non ho letto quasi niente, possibile? Laudrup no? Lennon che ha lasciato il Celtic? Ah stamattina mi sembra si parlava dello spagnolo che ha lasciato il Brighton.. Mai sentito sinceramente.

Io vedrei bene Laudrup. Ma sembra che si siano offerti in tanti per sedersi su quella panchina.

Cortese ha fatto un gran lavoro ma il nuovo chairman ha un background di tutto rispetto, sia in materia sportiva che economica

Manchester United, pronti 12 milioni di sterline per Konoplyanka

Dopo essere stato a lungo un obiettivo del Liverpool, il giocatore del Dnipro Yevhen Konoplyanka è finito nel mirino del Manchester United. Il club del tecnico Louis Van Gaal sarebbe pronto ad effettuare un'offerta pari a 12 milioni di sterline pur di rilevare l'ala ucraina. A riportarlo è Talk Sport. (Tmw)

ottimo giocatore, meglio di Nani e può giocare su ambo le fasce.

quello servirebbe ma Conte e occhio di lince si son fissati sul portoghese...pare...mah

lassù a N-E poco si muove e quel poco che trafila non lascia pensare a nulla di buono

Arsenal transfers: Which players do the Gunners need to buy and sell this summer?

In or out: Who Arsenal should get rid of, and who they need

For the first time in many years, Arsenal enter the summer transfer market with a trophy in their hands and a lack of deadwood needing to be removed.

Having tied up the majority of their young stars to new long-term deals, it’s also the first summer in quite some time in which transfer rumours have not unsettled the squad and fans alike.

While I’m sure most Arsenal fans would love to see a repeat of last summer, when Mesut Ozil was snagged on the last day of the window, I don’t think we will be see another superstar arriving at the Emirates.

It could be argued the Gunners don’t really need one either. Of course, that’s not to say a super-striker wouldn’t be welcomed with open arms and a Gunnersaurus embrace.

The main issue that needs to be addressed is their medical department. Injuries to key players at the most crucial stage of the season cost Arsenal a realistic shot at the title, but injuries were an ongoing issue for the whole campaign, with the majority of the squad spending time in the treatment room.

Stats show they suffered more injuries than any other side in the division - more than Manchester City and Chelsea combined. Sort out this problem and this Arsenal side is 95 per cent ready for a proper title charge.

There will be a number of players who will leave with contracts expiring and loan deals ending so here’s who will go and who I think should follow them out of the door.

Who will leave

Bacary Sagna

Despite the fans singing they want him to stay and despite numerous contract offers, the right-back’s time at Arsenal is over and he will leave on a free transfer, most likely for Manchester City. He is an experienced and under-rated outside of Arsenal, so will be hard to replace. Wages seem to have been the main problem as Arsenal stick steadfastly to their structure.

Lukasz Fabianski

Unlike Sagna, money doesn’t seem to be the issue with the Polish keeper, who simply wants to play regularly as the number one. A last-ditch attempt to convince him to stay failed and he is believed to be looking for another Premier League team. He’s right to go, because he’s too good to be a number two, and a replacement is needed.

Emiliano Viviano

The keeper's gap year at Arsenal has concluded and he can return to Italy with Palermo, having failed to play a single minute for the Gunners.

Kim Kallstrom

At least made a couple of appearances for Arsenal. He will, however, be forever remembered as the injured midfielder Arsenal signed when they needed a world-class striker.

Nicklas Bendtner

The striker's contract is finally up and he will leave the club, much to the relief of just about everyone. In true Bendtner fashion, he wasted his final year at the club. Instead of trying to make an impression and put himself in the shop window, he seemed more interested in selling jewellery than playing football.

Who SHOULD leave

Park Chu-Young

Yes, Park is still an Arsenal player with time left on his contract. He's probably Arsene Wenger’s least explicable signing though and will be shown the door again this summer. Whether anyone leads him though it is another matter entirely.

Carl Jenkinson (on loan)

With Sagna leaving, many expect Jenkinson to fill the void at right-back spot. I don’t feel he is ready though and believe he would benefit from a season-long loan. If that happens, Arsenal would need to bring in two full-backs and, let’s face it, that’s not going to happen.

Who should Arsenal sign?

So who should Arsenal bring in and which positions do they need to strengthen? Well, that’s simple, as long as we’re realistic...

Serge Aurier

The Toulouse player is 21, an Arsenal fan, and has been practically begging Arsene Wenger to sign him. Aurier is also a really good player and would be a decent replacement for Sagna, although not like-for-like as the club are losing an experienced international.

Carlos Vela

If he was not a former player, Arsenal fans might feel differently about him. As it stands, he’ll come back for €1m more than the club sold him to Real Sociedad for in 2012, and will bring with him a more mature attitude and a sharper eye for goal. Wenger once described him as the most natural finisher he has ever seen. He could finally be the man to get on the end of Giroud’s flicks.

A goalkeeper

There is talk that Arsenal will promote Damian Martinez to the number two role being vacated by Lukasz Fabianski. I’d like to see them bring in a more experienced 'keeper though.

A truly top keeper isn't going to want to come to a club knowing they won’t get past Wojciech Szczesny though, so I don't expect that to happen.

A centre-back

Arsenal went into last season with just three recognised centre-backs, knowing Bacary Sagna could fill in if needed. They won’t have that option any more though, and Wenger has always said a club needs four central defenders. They will be hoping to keep hold of Thomas Vermaelen, who is unsurprisingly unhappy at having fallen down the pecking order, but a fourth-choice centre-back will still need to be added to the ranks.

A defensive midfielder

Arsenal have needed a solid defensive midfielder for years. I’d be very surprised, however, if they actually sign one. Perhaps this will be the year Abou Diaby finally gets over all his injury problem. Javier Mascherano is likely to be available from Barcelona but wages and his age could prove problematic.

An attacking midfielder

I think the last thing Arsenal need is an attacking midfielder, but Wenger is obsessed with them. If Cesc Fabregas becomes available, Wenger will doubtless try to buy him.

A world-class striker

Olivier Giroud netted 22 goals in all competitions last season - not a bad return by anyone’s standards. But Arsenal fans are crying out for a world-class striker to play with him or instead of him.

There are only a few world-class strikers out there though, and a host of other clubs with more money than Arsenal who are looking for one. If the club sign Vela, I’m sure that will be their only offensive reinforcement of the summer.

Arsene Wenger has said he has to add ‘two or three’ new players to his squad and I think they will end up with Carlos Vela, Serge Aurier and possibly a centre-back.

Talk of £100m transfer war-chest is just that – talk. Arsenal won’t be spending anywhere close to that amount this summer.

Per me è giusto così. Già quest'anno da dicembre in poi è calato abbastanza e l'età non mente purtroppo.

Secondo il Daily Mail, lo United nella prossima sessione di mercato avrà un budget stellare, si parla addirittura di 270 milioni di euro a disposizione di Louis van Gaal. Il primo colpo dovrebbe essere Luke Shaw, del Southampton, per 27 milioni, si segue Kevin Strootman, Cesc Fabregas del Barcellona e Koke. In difesa piacciono Mats Hummels del Borussia e Miranda, dell'Atletico Madrid.

[Lampard 0]

Accordo tra Swansea e Twente sulla base di 6 milioni di sterline per Luc Castaignos, qualche apparizione anche nell'Inter in Italia. La scorsa stagione 14 gol in Eredivisie.

Due anni di contratto.

In tutte le foto ha un sorriso a 32 denti

Le prime parole da Reds:

"I can't believe it. I've loved this club all my life. I left here 17 years ago and I haven't stopped loving it since. I have always dreamt of playing for Liverpool, but I did kind of think the chance of playing for them had gone. I didn't think the chance would come."

Molto bella anche la lettera di addio ai Saints

What can I say...?

Southampton has been my life for the past five years, in which we have achieved all of our dreams and more.

First I have to thank Markus Liebherr for saving Southampton then Alan Pardew for bringing me to the club.

Thank you to all the staff involved in making me the player I am today. Without your knowledge and commitment I would not be here right now at a World Cup with England.

Thank you to all the players, past and present, who I have had nothing but good times and success with driven by our club captain, Kelvin Davis. I love every last one of you.

Thank you to the managers I have worked with – Alan, Nigel and Mauricio – and their teams for helping me and Southampton step up and adapt to every challenge that has come our way the past five years.

When I grew up there was only one club I loved. I can honestly say now I have two clubs which will always be in my heart and that is thanks to the Saints fans.

The people who support this club have been nothing short of amazing towards me and, when I look back in years to come, it will be the relationship I had with the fans here which will stand out the most.

Southampton have allowed me to realise a lifelong ambition by joining Liverpool FC and taking my family home. The five-year plan when I arrived was to get this club from League One to the top half of the Premier League. Against all the odds we have achieved that.

Now, under Katharina Liebherr’s leadership, the club has the chance for new plan, a new chapter, and I wish them all the success in the world.

[Paganese26 10930]

Ritorno a Londra, spondaChelsea. Dopo l'esperienza con la maglia dell'Arsenal, lo spagnoloCesc Fabregas sarebbe vicinissimo ad approdare ai"Blues". A rivelarlo è El Mundo Deportivo. Fabregas voleva da tempo lasciare il Barcellona, dove non è mai riuscito ad essere protagonista, ma con Luis Enrique è finito fuori dai piani tattici. L'offerta del Chelsea è stato l'assist che cercava. Sostituirebbe Lampard, prossimo all'addio. London wait Cesc.

Cresciuto nella "cantera" del Barcellona, il centrocampista è stato ceduto nel 2003 all'Arsenal, dove è maturato fino a guadagnarsi nell'estate 2011 il grande ritorno nel suo club originario. A Barcellona, però, ha faticato ad emergere nel collaudato trio di centrocampo composto da Xavi, Busquets e Iniesta. Qualche spazio è riuscito a ritagliarselo come esterno d'attacco, ma mai dimostrando di essere indispensabile.

Dalla fine della stagione si era capito che avrebbe lasciato il Barça e da subito si sono fatte avanti voci di interessamenti dall'Inghilterra. Smentite dal Manchester City e dalla stessaArsenal, nonostante le voci di un suggestivo ritorno nei "Gunners". Il ritorno a Londra, molto probabilmente, ci sarà. Ma sarà alla corte di Mourinho.

Altra letterina d'addio

When I arrived at this fantastic club 13 years ago I would never have believed that I would be fortunate enough to play so many games and enjoy sharing in so much success.

This club has become part of my life and I have so many people to thank for the opportunity. Firstly, Ken Bates, who put his neck on the line to sign me as a young player and without him I would not have even begun this experience.

Roman Abramovich, the man who saved our club and took us all to new levels. His desire to push the club to the top of the football world has rubbed off on everyone.

All the managers and coaches who have helped me develop my game during the time I have been here. I have learnt from every one of them.

All the brilliant team-mates who I have been lucky enough to train and play alongside for so long. Not just their football qualities but also the friendships I have gained along the way.

I’d also like to give a special mention to all the staff and people behind the scenes at the club who do not receive the glory but without them the club would simply not function.

The club will move forward, and as a Chelsea man I have no doubt that with the quality of the players that are there, they will continue with the success that we have all enjoyed over the past seasons.

Finally and most importantly, I would like to thank the Chelsea fans. I believe they are the greatest fans in world football. You have supported me from the moment I arrived. Not only on the pitch, but in difficult moments in my personal life off the pitch. I will never forget.

I feel honoured to have shared so many special times with you. Bolton, Amsterdam, Munich, the list goes on and on. I, and we as a team, could not have achieved those moments without your support.

Whatever the next challenge is for me I will always be amongst you and have Chelsea in my home and in my heart. Hopefully I will get to see you all soon to say goodbye properly. In the meantime thank you for the memories and keep making history.
