Let's be brunt about this, Arsenal aren't going to bring in a £20million+ player in the summer. Well, they most probably won't anyway.

I can only see Chelsea or United paying that much. United will perhaps be after an out-and-out centre forward and Chelsea are ready to bring in half a squad if they have to.

My tip is Villa, because Valencia are unacceptably poor at the moment and he wants to test himself in England - i foresee him settling for Chelsea, even though his preferred choices are Arsenal or Liverpool.

Someone like Man City bringing in someone that makes everyone say "I can't beleive he's signed for them" a la Mascherano & Tevez to West Ham. WTF where they thinking by the way?!?


They were owned by a third party so I don't think they had any choice.



So Tevez & Mascherano were forced to join WH against their will? I doubt that

Arsène Wenger was pleased to hear David Villa compliment his team but he is not making a move for the Valencia striker.

This week the 26-year-old was quoted as saying Arsenal's attractive style of play made Emirates Stadium his preferred destination. The Spaniard is hot property at the moment with a healthy record of 51 goals in 95 games for his club and 13 in 30 for his country. Despite that, Wenger ruled out a move in the summer.

On the contrary, the Frenchman believes goalscoring has not been a problem for his side this term and his improving young strikers need room to grow.

"We are not in the transfer market for David Villa," said Wenger at his pre-match press conference. "He has said some very complimentary things about us which we take as a big honour. I rate him highly as a player but I will not make concrete investigations for anyone at the moment."

The manager went on: "I feel up front I need to give time to Walcott and Bendtner because they have made big improvement for me this season. Theo is coming on so I need to give them a chance or they will not come out."

In fact, the Arsenal manager argues goal-scoring is not where his side need strengthening. It is more the other end of the pitch that has been his concern.

"We were leading at Chelsea, Liverpool and Man United plus we were leading at home against Liverpool," he said. "So we can score goals. What we could not stop is conceding goals in big games.

"You know that nine times out of 10 the team that wins the big games is the team who scores first. But we lost these games after being in front. We suffered more as a team defensively rather than offensively."




Well it looks like Arsenal wont be getting villa then i will have to say i don't think many Arsenal fans will be happy with that his a top player that can score week in week out wenger has to stop bloody relying on his youth and go and buy an actual good well named striker like villa

Kaka will go to Chelsea for a reported £22,000,000.

I did wonder about Kaka moving to Chelsea, as i mentioned. They seem eager to make a huge transfer happen in the summer, and Kaka's a huge player whose had the spotlight firmly taken away from him by Messi and Ronaldo. They'll find it easier to prise him away, in other words.

£22,000,000 does seem a little cheap though for last years World Player of the Year, a player just 26 in three days time. I'd love to see him in the Premier League though.

£26m would be a steal in todays world. Milan will be looking for at least £40m though if you ask me
