Arsenal alerted as Xabi demands Liverpool exit

Xabi Alonso wants to leave Liverpool before the summer market deadline
drops.
The Guardian says the 26-year-old has not submitted a transfer request, but has asked the club to renew its efforts to sell him in the coming weeks - a stance that will alert the Arsenal manager, Arsene Wenger.

Arsenal are the only club to have made an official inquiry about Alonso since his proposed transfer to Juventus collapsed over Liverpool's £18m valuation.

Arsenal boss Wenger: I COULD spend £30M on one player

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger insists he won't break the bank to bring the Premiership title to Emirates stadium.

He said: "We balance the budget. The way we run the club I have money available to buy.
"We go into the competition but the target is also to balance our budget - which I think every manager should do.

"Three or four years ago we went into a different policy that we have to be shrewd.

"I can make signings at very high prices but you have to have cohesion in the way you buy.

"Manchester United are in the £20-£30million bracket, Chelsea are in the unlimited bracket. We have to be in our own bracket - reasonable but shrewd."

The Emirates faithful are anxious at the lack of a big-name signings and want Wenger to splash the cash. But he is prepared to go against their wishes.

Wenger insisted: "Big signings reassure. But good performances are much better. We opted for stability with young players who have the spirit of our club.

"We always want to buy the right player at the right price but when you want to move a club forward like I did here in the last 10 years, you also need investment - not only for players.

"The quality of a manager is also to develop young players, to spot them when they aren't necessarily stars."

He added: "If I had the choice to buy a player for £30million and win the title I would do it."

So why has he not done it?

Wenger said: "For £30million you speak about a striker. I have Van Persie, Adebayor, I have Bendtner who I was patiently building up to be at the level I want him to be. So why should I buy?

"Now I have Carlos Vela, Eduardo Da Silva. We have the quality. That's why."

Arsenal confirm Salamanca move for Nordtveit

Nordtveit will spend the entire season with the Spanish Segunda Liga outfit.

SILVESTRE SET FOR SHOCK ARSENAL MOVE

Mikael Silvestre is on the verge of making a shock move from Manchester United to Arsenal.

The Gunners are understood to have made a last-ditch attempt to sign the defender last night and are set to purchase the Frenchman for a knock-down fee of £750,000.

Silvestre was expected to complete a move to Manchester City or Sunderland this week and was reportedly in the process of undergoing a medical at Eastlands when he was informed that Arsene Wenger wished to sign him. 'Silvestre immediately abandoned the medical and hurtled down the M1 to meet Gunners boss Wenger and discuss terms,' The Sun claims.

Were Silvestre to join then he would be the first player in 34 years to be sold by Manchester United to their north London rivals. The last player to move directly between the two clubs was Viv Anderson in 1987 when he became Sir Alex Ferguson's first signing.

The proposed move would arguably represent the biggest shock of this summer's transfer activity. While the prospect of Ferguson selling a player, albeit one who has been on the fringes of the United first-team for the past two years, is unexpected, Arsenal fans may be equally surprised to learn that, according to The Guardian, 'Wenger does not regard the former Internazionale defender merely as a squad player, or as a back-up for Gaël Clichy at left-back, but as a first-choice centre-half alongside William Gallas, primarily as a replacement for Philippe Senderos.'

With The Guardian apparently forgetting about Kolo Toure's presence at the Emirates, it is more likely that Wenger intends to use Silvestre as cover at both left-back and centre-half and regards the 31-year-old as adding valuable experience to a generally youthful squad.

In turn, Silvestre's arrival may result in Armand Traore, Clichy's current deputy, leaving the Emirates on loan. Conversely, Silvestre's exit would apparently result in the promotion of 20-year-old Fabio da Silva to the role of Patrice Evra's number two at Manchester United.

aku plak yg terkejut ngan brita nih...

tweety..
agak lama main utk man u..
akhirnya pergi ke rival man u..

Arsenal remain keen on Liverpool's Xabi

Arsenal remain keen on Liverpool midfielder Xabi Alonso.

The Times says Reds boss Rafa Benitez is eager to find a buyer for Xabi, but will have to drop his £16 million asking price if he wants to do business with Arsenal.

Arsenal boss Wenger hints at Barry bid

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has hinted he may bid for Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry after landing Manchester United's Mikael Silvestre this week.
"I can surprise you sometimes, as I got one in whom you did not expect, and there still might be one more player coming in," said the Arsenal manager.

"You know the position, but I cannot tell you much more."

Asked whether there would still be interest in Barry, Wenger said: "There is interest always."

However, he insisted: "I do not want to give you any names.

"But we are not in a desperate situation because we have Song back from the Olympics, Diaby does not look too far away and hopefully we can good news from [Tomas] Rosicky in the next two weeks.

"We are not short, but one more body is possible."

On the subject of pursuing potentially cup-tied targets, Wenger added: "I believe once somebody cannot play for you in Europe, it devalues the player for the season - but it is not necessarily stopping you from buying a player."


- kja aku menampal jer la...alih2 aku jgk yg bca..guest xde masuk ke..aku dh bg shortcut tuk dorang dpt news update...bkn saje2 taruk..
