rumours football
Arsenal news: 2 CB to sign for the club, one in Jan, one in Summer. Senderos to leave in Jan (5m), Djourou long term injured, Silvestre to leave for free in summer. Mamadou Sakho almost certain to come in for around 12m, other defender to be either Subotic, Upson or Puyol. Traore may also leave for 4m in summer. he is premier league standard, but will not displace Clichy or Gibbs. Gallas to leave for free back to France. Rosicky has not yet been offered a new contract. if he leaves, expect young Eden Hazard to come in for 7m. Need for competition for Song is important, as Denilson and Diaby are not defensive enough. Expect Arsene to come back for Matuidi, as contract talks with St Ettiene will break down for sure. Alternative is Gokhan Inler of Udinese. Up front, talk of Vela being sacrificed for an incoming striker are rubbish. He is class. we have the best set of offensive players in the league in RVP, Eduardo, Bendtner, Vela, Walcott, Nasri, Fabregas, Rosicky, Diaby and Arshavin. Out of these, only Diaby may leave. if so, he will not be replaced as it will give Wilshere and Ramsey a chance to grow. Merida will leave for Atletico for 4m in summer. Chamakh will not be coming unless a striker leaves. no point buying s/b just because they r free. 1 GK to arrive in the summer. its a straight choice between Green, Neuer and Akinfeev in my opinion. Fabianksi does not have it, Mannone needs time (tho has great potential) and Almunia is not getting any younger. players being looked at by Wenger: Akinfeev, Neuer, Green, Subotic, Upson, Sakho, Zapata, Cahill, Matuidi, Inler, de Rossi, vdVaart, Hazard, Chamakh, Arteta, Agbonlahor, A Young, Gago and Yaya Toure. Arsenal for the top

football rumours:Chelsea appeal transfer ban
chelsea fc football rumours
Chelsea have today confirmed that they have appealed the transfer ban imposed by FIFA with the submission made last Friday afternoon. This puts FIFA in an unusual and, for them, concerning position. They are aware that no the appeal process has started the ban is frozen – and a fast track hearing can be completed before the end of the year if both parties agree. Chelsea have said that they are confident that they can have the ban lifted completely, so are keen to fast track the appeal. Fifa do not want to risk either the ban being overturned completely but are particularly concerned about the appeal dragging on in to the New year. FIFA's fear is that Chelsea will conduct a years worth of transfers in the January window creating artificially high fees for players. They know that Chelsea will be able to buy players in January and delay the arrival of those players until the summer by loaning them back to their clubs. This process will work regardless of whether a ban is in place in the summer or not – as the players joining will be returning from loan. FIFA it seems are now hatching a plan that will see a proposal put to Chelsea to drop their appeal, accept a reduced one window transfer ban to be served in January and an immediate, without prejudice, lifting of the four month suspension on GaĆ«l Kakuta. I have no feeling as to whether or not Chelsea would accept such a proposition.

football rumours:Benitez not going anywhere
Lverpool Fc football rumour
Benitez will not be sacked from Liverpool FC – period. If the American owners wanted to sack him then why would they have offered him improved control over club transfers, the academy, new backroom staff and of course the demise of Rick Parry. The truth is that the owners are desperate to sell and Rafa has been 'gagged' to stop him talking to the press/media. George Gillett Jr has had numerous advanced talks with two interested parties – the F6 group from Saudi and of course the old suitors, DIC. Gillett is trying to get the best deal for himself which is why the sale of his share has been prolonged. Tom Hicks wants to relinquish some of his share in the club but still have an active involvement, DIC want full control.

football rumours: breaaking news
BREAKING NEWS: Benitez to be fired after this week's Champions League game. This will pave the way for F6 to takeover as they do not want Benitez as manager of the club. The Summer will consist of LFC ridding themselves of the dead weight that Benitez has accumulated over the last 5 years which will be a major financial hit to the club in next year's transfer market. This will trigger the transfer of Torres to balance the books. Nobody is bigger than the club. Everyone at LFC understands that except for Benitez.

Arsenal news:Arsenal boss Wenger happy with Mannone despite error
Arsenal boss Wenger happy with Mannone despite error
Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger isn't concerned after a gaffe from Vito Mannone against Birmingham City.
The young Italian goalkeeper was at fault for Lee Bowyer's goal in the 3-1 win, but Wenger told the club's website: "He's a young goalkeeper. You have to accept that no matter the age of a goalkeeper that can happen.
"In the Premier League you are always challenged and he should have certainly fisted the ball out.
"The good sign was in the second half it didn't affect him. He came out for crosses, he saved a good cross and that could have been an equaliser, so it didn't affect him mentally. That's very good."

Arsenal skipper Cesc: Wenger never lets you rest
Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas says the constant nagging of Arsene Wenger has turned him into a world star.
Cesc has been with the Gunners since he was 16 and said: "He is never completely happy with what we do.
"If he sees you thinking that you are at the top level he'll always come to see you, show you a video and point out something you have done wrong. He always tells me I have to improve my defensive game."
