Why would we add Gomez to an already clear logjam upfront? And Ribery is way too important to sell!

Ok yeah I doubt we're going to sign is getting David Villa after today. Valencia is going to skyrocket the asking price for him, Arsene isn't going topay what they want anymore. Man...I've always watched him, but today, was just amazing. I would love to see him along with Adebayor up front.

Wenger is the cheapest mother F'er on the planet. This idiot has screwed up so many signings for Arsenal in the past. He had a chance to sign Ibrahimovicbefore Ajax discovered him, he discovered C. Ronaldo but didn't offer enough money...Watch him screw up the Nasri signing as well.

Villa reject improved £15m offer for Barry
Aston Villa on Thursday confirmed they have rejected an improved bid from Liverpool for captain Gareth Barry.
The Reds' improved offer, reportedly in the region of £15million, was turned down by the midlands club late last night.
A Villa spokesman said: 'The offer was a slight improvement on a previous bid but our position on the issue remains unchanged and Liverpool have beeninformed.'
Liverpool's pursuit of England midfielder Barry, 27, has created a rift between manager Rafael Benitez and Villa counterpart Martin O'Neill.
O'Neill was incensed that talks between the pair were leaked last month and has since made clear his determination to hold on to the club'slongest-serving player.
O'Neill and Villa owner Randy Lerner have attempted to convince Barry his future lies at the club he joined 11 years ago.
But the player has hinted he wants to play Champions League football, a dream Liverpool would be able to fulfil immediately.
Barry said earlier this month: 'You only have to look at the England squad to see the amount of players who get in the squad and start the games - themajority play in the Champions League.
'That's all about the decision that will have to be made by myself. Liverpool are in the Champions League and Villa are trying to push for that.That's all part of my decision if a bid gets accepted.
'Just to think about it makes it a tough decision. There's so much to lose at Aston Villa. I've been there for 10 years, got a good rapport withthe fans, I'm captain [and have a] great relationship with the manager.'
Barry must now wait to see if Liverpool return with yet another bid or whether Benitez opts to look elsewhere.
It is believed previous offers for the midfielder included a cash-plus-player deal and this could still be the key to landing Barry.
Liverpool goalkeeper Scott Carson spent the whole of last season on loan at Villa Park and O'Neill is believed to want to make the move permanent.
Benitez is willing to sell, but again the two are at loggerheads over the valuation of the

5 mill+Yaya Toure for my least favorite Arsenal player (besides Cygan of course)? sounds almost too good...

Scolari's 'advice' for Ronny to Madrid makes a lot of sense now...

Van Persie better not go. Even though he hasn't played that well lately, I still want him apart of Arsenal. I know he'll get better and get back to hisold self.

I dont want to see Ronaldo leave, but it does seem inevetible. He will be missed, but he wont break this team, If we could sign Ramos, that would be a greatsinging for a RB. I love his attacking style (even though he has trouble recovering on D sometimes).
at Scolarri's words for Ronaldo to leave just soChelsea will have a better chance againsst United.
I can't see Deco in a Chelsea uniform.
