    Not an Arsenal rumour but Marca are reporting that PSG have made an offer of €125 million for Cristiano Ronaldo

    Dyabla has signed for juve I believe. So this leaves higuain who I believe wants champions league footbal for us to sign although I believe United may be in for him to

    Yann M'Villa is the greatest Arsenal player not to play for Arsenal....

    Are you sure you're not one of the chaps writing the stories for the transfer rumours section? M'Villa will probably go down as an Arsenal transfer legend rumour, who's been written more about than any other player. HIguain is quickly becoming a close second....

    Out of curiousity, I thought i'd read a little about M'Villa. Wow, he looks like another Balotelli, huge amounts of talent but has a p1ss poor attitude and is in rapid decline. Read this article on him: http://bleacherreport.com/articles/...-botched-inter-milan-spell-latest-sad-chapter

    "He is a €12/£9 million flop, who forced his way out of Russia, according to Rubin Kazan manager Rinat Bilyaletdinov. "M'Vila behaved badly. One day he trained, one day he didn't," Bilyaletdinov said, per France Football (h/t ESPN). "He thought he was already in Liverpool. I told him: 'It is not your level. If you go, you will be on the bench.'"

    Some would say it was a blessing in disguise if the rumours were correct about him ever coming to us, but then again, Wenger has a good record of straightening out problematic but skillful players...

    Yup exactly right.

    Great technique and he's big, powerful and quick. Could have been an absolute beast but he seems to have a screw loose. Waiste of talent.

    We used to be linked to Blaise Matuidi every summer and I always thought he was some random average French footballer, he moved to PSG, and turned out to be a brilliant player.

    Really?

    It almost seems like he's been linked to us every summer since the Bruce Rioch days!

    Apparently it was some time eons ago before Wenger when we used to win trophy's every season and never finished in an appalling 4th position, let alone 12th...

    You can have all the god given talents and skill but if you don't have a proper head on your shoulders and work hard for it, you won't go anywhere at the top level. Saying that, he is getting paid a shed load more than everyone here, so its not all bad for him...

    Did you watch "Class of 92" the film about Man Utd when it was on TV a couple of weeks ago ?
    There was a black lad on there who was rated as the most naturally talented but he never had the discipline to make it whereas Gary Neville was determined to make it and always pushed himself that little bit further

    Look at Frimpong - created one word, then let it all go to his head, Dench indeed!

    He had talent but didn't live up to being dench. Another one namely Jay-Emmanuel Thomas was suppose to have it all, but ended up a couple divisions lower. Were they really that good or simply hyped?
