Toure Wants To Stay
Jan 8th
Yaya Toure’s agent has insisted his star is happy currently at Barcelona and has not been approached by Manchester City about a possible move to Eastlands.
Manchester City were believed to be preparing a £13m bid for the midfielder who has also been linked to his Brother’s team, Arsenal.
His agent Seluk told Catalan radio station RKB – “Toure is happy at Barca, currently the best team in Europe and he has no intention of moving.
“He is one of the best in the world in his position and it’s normal that some clubs are interested in him.
“Manchester City have ambition and money but they have not spoken with me, they need to do it with Barca.”
Lorik Cana link dismissed
Aug 11th
Marseille president Pape Diouf has dismissed claims that Arsenal are closing in on midfielder Lorik Cana claiming the Premier League side have not been in contact.
The 25 year old had previously been linked with Everton but this morning’s press now suggests that Wenger is hot on the trail to sign the Albanian International.
However Diouf told La Provence – “It’s a pipe dream, Arsene Wenger has my number.
“He has not called and, if he does, how much? I would I begin with a two and this would be followed by a high figure.”

Barry Not On Transfer List
Aug 4th
Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has ruled out a possible bid for England and Aston Villa midfielder Gareth Barry.
Reports had suggest that Arsenal would be willing to pay Villa’s asking price and hijack his dream move to Liverpool, however Wenger said to the media – “I don’t know if Gareth Barry will leave Aston Villa or not, but I am not on his case.
“I like Gareth Barry and I like two or three other players. It is better I don’t speak about names, I said that yesterday. It is better I leave things to your imagination and creation.
“I cannot tell you anything more. If we sign a player we will come out and tell you, but I can say to you now that we are not close to signing anybody.”

One To Watch – Jack Wilshere
Aug 2nd
Jack Wilshere today proved why Arsenal fans rate the 16 year old so highly after a stunning performance against Italian giants Juventus.
The Arsenal youngster has impressed through-out of Arsenal’s pre-season games whilst bagging a few goals to give England fans hope that a new teen sensation could be set to hit the big stage.
Not long ago Arsenal manager Wenger confirmed that he didn’t think Wilshere would be sitting in the reserves for long.
We look out to see the youngster playing his trade in the forth coming season.

Arsenal sign another
Jul 30th
Football-Forever is delighted to announce the signing of Amaury Bischoff from Werder Bremen for a thus far undisclosed figure. On an announcement on Arsenal.com, he will be joining the team immediately after their Austrian tour, where Stuttgart are the opposition this evening.
The midfielder has long been tracked by Arsene Wenger, and could be the ideal replacement for the recently departed Alex Hleb, and can play either centrally or to the right of the midfield, although perhaps younger than Wenger would normally put into first team action. He has played at Bundesliga level, and also for Portugal at under 21 level.
Already, he has been assigned the Number 28 shirt, and taken part in a photo shoot parading his new shirt.

Barnet 1-2 Arsenal
Jul 19th
There are certain traditions at Arsenal which will never change. The team play in red and white, yes that will never change. The first pre-season friendly will be at Underhill against Barnet, that might change. And Nicklas Bendtner has the first touch of an elephant, this MUST change.
The Gunners lined up first half with quite a decent looking eleven in Almunia, Sagna, Justin Hoyte, Nordtviet, Clichy, Traore, Lansbury, Denilson, Ramsey, Walcott, and Bendtner. However the performance did nothing to enhance the reputation of these players in a very disappointing first half, lacking pace, ambition or quality for the most part.
Arsenal fell behind on the 15 minute mark to a sucker-punch free kick routine. The challenge from Nordtveit was late enough to probably earn a yellow in The Premiership, but being a friendly, he got away with a ticking off, however the punishment was greater from the resulting dead-ball. Almunia lined up a traditional wall, but Barnet were cheeky in switching the ball to the nearside as opposed to the predicted ball into the centre, and Almunia was beaten with pace at his nearpost, down to his right. Up until the whistle for half-time, Arsenal were never really at the races, with Bendtner squandering a chance or two, and losing possession at vital times during build up with overly heavy first touches.
Arsene Wenger rang the changes at half time, and they were to pay almost immediate dividends, most notably Jack Wilshire who virtually controlled proceedings throughout the second half with deft touches, fine vision and passes, and a hand in both the second half goals that eventually restored normal order. Jay Simpson was the first to prosper with a fine strike across the goalkeeper, followed a while later by Nacer Baritze scoring for the second year running with a wonderful finish.
Certainly on the look of the second half, the future is very bright.
Full time, 2-1 to Arsenal.
