**Summer Transfer Thread: News, Rumours and Speculation**

Its not difficult really is it! 5 minutes research, or someone to write a report who actually watches football.

Now if they had said he was sent off in his last game for Newcastle that would be a different matter.

Sky, Beeb are all as bad as each other now.

Sky asked Wenger earlier if Jack Wilshere missing the U-21 side was because he was going to be in the Full squad!:eek:

I saw that and his response was you'd have to speak to Capello. He then when on to say something along the lines of it early days yet. I'd tend to agree with him. Although it sort of worked out well for Rooney joining the England setup early, it didn't for Theo. He could probably do without all the hype. That said though, I've always thought the name Jack Wilshere has a certain ring to it, like an old school English football legend.

I like that last bit Benny, made me smile because that is exactly what I think. You almost want him to appear in a comic or something.

Not to be insulting to the Brazilian league, but I really cannot see how going to play in the Brazilian league would in any way forward someones career. Could understand it if he wanted to go to the Spanish or Italian leagues..even the German. But I just see the Brazilian league as a step down from the european leagues.

Maybe he likes playing in Brazil?
 
I didnt realise that Sneijder was only 25, I thought he was older. I cant believe that no one has snapped him up yet. He would be perfect to replace the ever injured Rosicky.

Season gets ever closer and still no more signings for arsenal :(
 
I think Chamakh is nailed on, Wenger's just playing mind games with Bordeaux over the price. They know he will wait till the last minute and put in a much smaller bid that what they're asking and they'll probably accept it because he could sign a pre-contract agreement with them anyway in January, leaving for free.

I would also expect a defender to come in if Senderos leaves, probably Hangeland or someone relatively unknown.

I think the Vieira stuff is just paper talk and Wenger seems to have great confidence in the likes of Song and Denilson to play DM.
