Reports suggest we've agreed on a fee but no quotes anywhere to confirm or deny that.
Thanks man. I do hope its true. Any day now Fabregas will come out and say he's no longer a Gunner so have a star-studded winger like Mata will definitely fill the void created when Cesc does decide to leave.

For some reason talk still surrounds Benzema coming to Arsenal. I know there's been quote after quote from Mourinho, and Benzema himself, denying this but there are still murmurs around. Personally i can't see it happening but that would definately given Arsenal fans something to be excited about for the first time in a LONG time.

Me too very unlikely to happen.

With the amount of transfer rumours going about anything could be false or true. I mean, we've had discussions in the thread about Jaigelka, Biglia, Cahill, Mata and Samba and some are weak while other not so. I haven't heard about Benzema to be honest. He still looks happy to stay at Real Madrid and he did bag quite a few when Real Madrid played in the group stages of the UCL. I think he had 7 in 6 Games or so. Anyway, considering the money he gets and also the game time, and that he is only 2 years in a 4 or 5 year contract and that he is still young, the asking price is high or should be. I would love it if he partnered Van Persie upfront though. 2 solid strikers up front... Back to the days of Henry and Bergkamp...:p

if u have a spare 14 mins and love watching henry have a look at this

http://www.caughtoffside.com/2011/07/29/all-226-thierry-henry-arsenal-goals-in-one-goal-fest-video/

my personal favourites, 31, 106, 157, 207
Almost 65% of the goals were all great passes, crosses and through-balls the rest being penalties, single runs and screamer shots. This video is the full video for Goal No.90. I thought this one was especially special because he did it all himself.

P.S. Please watch No.22 again and focus on the net.

If this doesn't wake Wenger up and make him buy a CB then God himself wouldn't be able to convince him...

Seriously Wenger can go and take his love Childs Djourou & Squillaci with him. Dead set I would never pick these in a PS3 game let alone a 1st Div team.
