Reports that Wenger is in the process of re signing Carlos Vela for €4M as per the clause they put in his contract when they sold him

Real Sociedad president confirms Vela will be with Arsenal next season

[TBM]

Where you see that?

I read they wanted Arsenal to sell their clause and Arsenal said £6.5m

[Pepe the Horseman]

Gr8 news if true.

He stayed at Sociedad for £12M

Refreshing to see a top footballer whose arms are not completely covered in tattoos.

Damn right.

And a great player. I love watching him play. I hope he can stand up to the rigours of a PL season.

If they all come back fit, and Sanchez settles in then that is a hell of a 1st team Arsenal are building.

If Ozil steps up (he surely must improve on last season) and they have a little less misfortune with injuries (if misfortune is what it was) then I think the title will be theirs.

They still need a really top holding midfielder. Arteta doesn't cut it.

It's shaping up to be another competitive PL though.

And a centre half plus a keeper then they are sorted

good stuff.

You had them down as runaway winners last October too.

Ozil was knackered after half a season even without playing at a summer tournament.

I don't think it was physical tiredness though - i think he was mentally drained and then having to adapt to the Premier League whilst also receiving loads of abuse from German national fans

If Germany win Sunday, i think it will fire him up for the new season

Arsenal always seem to be two players away from the title. They really needed a striker and could do with someone like Viera back in the mid-field. Would defo prefer Arsenal to win it ahead of City, Chelsea, or those pcunts from the City of Self Pity

Did I?

Probably just to get a reaction from you. As with the above prediction. Thanks for not letting me down. Just wish Spaceball was still as he was almost as easy to get an Arsenal bite from as you.

Thing is, if Ramsey and Walcott hadn't had serious injuries they probably would have done. Wenger SEEMS to be adding good players and squad depth so yes, I think they've got an excellent chance.

Cue serious injuries to Ramsey and Sanchez in early October I guess.

sami khedira linked with arsenal. would be an outstanding signing and would really put arsenal as one of the forerunners going into the season. (if he can stay healthy)

[Pepe the Horseman]

And providing they don't get refballed too much.

Outstanding if they get the one who plays for Germany because the one who plays week in week out for Madrid is pretty average.

He's a bit like Lucas at Liverpool. Isn't really noticed or given much credit but does a job

He's done well to return for the WC after 6 months out with injury.

[sandman]

He has his moments but it would be a bigger signing for Arsenal than it would be a loss for Madrid.

I agree It would but the fact they offered him a new deal (which he rejected) means they must rate him highly
