The idea is that it should take place exactly as it did at Wembley for the City fans unable to get final tickets.
He's an amazing player!

No he's not and neither is benzema.
Well, we can dream?
Sounds like Robbie Keane
I am really not sure that Aguero would fit into our team to be honest and I'd expect him to cost a bomb. Bit undecided whether it would be a wise expenditure or whether the money is better spent elsewhere.

I prefer Higooooooo-Ah-In
Oh and Berbatov confirming he will be at the club next season
This is great news.
If used properly, he is a magnificent player. Unfortunately, he doesn't get used properly very often, he just gets thrown in wherever Fergie has a spot.
I hope that changes.
By all accounts Chicharito will miss the start of next season having been given an extended break so I'd at least expect Berbatov to start the season with Rooney like he did this year, just depends on whether Fergie reverts back to Rooney and Chicharito when the latter is back and fully fit

Anyone heard the comments that Wenger has made on the transfer window?
He says that for the first time in a while he will be active in the window, which hopefully means in and out, not just out. Also it looks like Bendtner will be leaving in the summer, there's interest from English and German clubs, I thought he'd have ended up going to Italy or something but I can see him playing in the Bundesliga. Arshavin might be going back to Zenit also, he's been training with them in preparation for the Euro's, not that it means anything, but apparently they have asked if he would be open to the idea of moving back there. Denilson is of course highly likely to be leaving in the summer as well, provided we get an offer for him.

Hmm.. They say they are in a strong financial position yet I've been reading that they to delve deep into the supporters trust fund.. Don't kniow quite what to make of that..
Nasri target for Fergie
On the Nasri thing (and not that I believe it could happen whatsoever) I really dont think he'd be the answer tbh, we need a player who can dominate the midfield area something I've never seen Nasri do
Maybe a good signing to bolster the squad but not as a lone midfield signing

As long as changes are made I don't mind a period of transition, we haven't won a trophy in so long, but as long as Wenger can at least admit his faith in certain players was misplaced, and that his youth projects don't always repay the trust he puts in them then I'm fine with that. If it's true and the likes of Denilson and Diaby are on their way out then that's great. But only as long as Wenger learns his lesson and supplements our already young squad with some talented experience. I think our average age is something like 21 years old and the way the team capitulated after the Carling Cup defeat their ages really showed. The lack of experience and steel really hurt us imo.
I haven't really been reading up on Arsenal news over the past few weeks, I've just wanted to bury my head in the sand after our last couple of months so I haven't heard anything about the money situation. As for Nasri it's a tricky situation, either we go balls out and make a commitment to renewing his contract, or we make sure that we get his full value and that if possible he doesn't go to a league competitor. If he went to Man Utd that would really be a blow to us and I think he would be just the type of player that could thrive in their squad.

Lets hope so.
I don't mind Bentdner, with a run of games he can chip in with some goals or assists. However he's years away from being anywhere near RvP. If he wants to leave let him I say.
And the E7m offer for Arshavin will be a good bit of business provided an adequate replacement is bought and considering his age. A gross E8m to ensure Champs League football a few years ago is a great bit of business.

Indeed. If we played a system that allowed two strikers to be properly used then I would be all for keeping Bendtner and letting us see what he can do next season, with a long run of games but with our 4-5-1 / 4-3-3 he will never get a chance up front when we have a fit van Persie so like you I don't mind seeing him go. For what it's worth I liked the guy, he had a good attitude compared to a lot of players, it's a shame he didn't get more chances because like DM usually points out the man had a great output considering most of the time he has been stuck on the wing.
I'm a little indifferent about Arshavin, he's puzzling, he's got decent stats but when you watch him he's lazy, hardly ever tracks back, hardly ever makes decent runs, when he cuts inside he loses the ball a lot, but he just pops up with an assist or a goal now and then, I'm not sure if he should be kept or sold. If we can bring in someone who is going to be of more benefit to the team then we should look to cash in on him. At times he looks like he's in his own world and he does give away possession an awful lot which can put us on the back foot.
