Tranfer News Update
A lot has changed since the group stages of the UEFA Euro 2012 is going to end. At the biggest European stage many new faces became overnight stars and many other big names failed to prove their worth.
INS:
1. Yann M'Villa - M'Villa has finally admitted that he wants to join Arsenal as AW wants to do early signings.
2. Giroud - I am seeing this guy at Arsenal next season. But, its far from what it seems. Arsenal are preparing for a double scoop for Giroud plus M'Villa as Arsenal gets ready for a serious challenging team for the title next season. Recent reports say that Borussia Monchengladbach have pulled out of the race to sign Giroud.
3. Joselu - Arsenal became the recent admirers of the young Madrid player Joselu. Its not like he is coming, but Arsenal showing some interest in him.
4. Solomon Kalou - Top clubs in Europe chasing the Champions League winner as he was said to leave Stamford Bridge. It is said that Arsenal are still not out for signing him and bringing him at the Emirates.
5. Alan Dzagoev - Recently Arsenal was interested in him. Last night he clearly said he is interested in a move to Barclays Premier League. Not much can be said on him at the moment.
OUT
1. RVP - the man who has many eyes at him in the moment. Arsenal have openly said that they (Arsenal) will Robin Van Persie for £30m and is a no secret anymore. So, who would be his replacement? Ofcourse Podolski showed his talent and will be the key in Arsenal's strike force next season.
2. Bendtner - After a very very successful Euro 2012, the Danish striker is most wanted by several clubs. Swansea have told that Bendtner will be their main target this summer. For Arsenal, I think, he should be kept at the club. He proved his worth by scoring 2 goals and 1 assist for the Danes. But it should be admitted that is cannot be kept at Arsenal as both player and clubs are interested in a move.
3. Arshavin - He was the another out of favor Arsenal player to perform brilliantly at the Euros. His current club Zenit St. Petersberg are keen on keeping him at the club permanently and it looks AW has the best time to sell Arshavin and get a good sum for him as he is already aged 31.
4. Theo Walcott - At the public announcement, Arsenal have also said that with RVP, Theo could also be leaving Emirates. So, a lot of bad news for the Gunners, but never forget AW knows his work so leave it to him. And Chamberlain is "better than Walcott" says many experts.

Breaking Transfer News: Arsenal agree £13m fee for Giroud with Chamakh going the other way
Speculations were made from a long time that Giroud was coming to Arsenal. Finally this happened, not officially though. But according to reports, AW has accepted a £13m pricetag for Giroud who has scored 21 goals last season is also the Key man for Les Blues playing in Poland/Ukraine. Chamakh will be heading to other side.
Giroud has a £12.8 million release clause which Arsenal agreed to pay and plus giving away the out-of-form man Chamakh.
This move clearly says that Arsenal are getting ready for life without RVP. Anything new comes in, and you will be informed soon.

Gunners at the Euro 2012
 |
1. Robin V. Persie (Holland) - He will be leading the attack for the Oranges. No doubt, one of the best strikers at the show, RVP will try to score for his national team and proceed into the later stages of the tournament. Holland will have to face the likes of Germany, Portugal and Denmark. He will be playing against his Arsenal team-mate Mertesacker and Bendtner and will also face Cristiano Ronaldo.
2. Theo Walcott and Alex Chamberlain (England) - Both the in-form wingers will feature for England. They both are right side wingers but Chambo can play through the left flanks too. England are lined up against France, Sweden and the hosts Ukraine. Both the gunners will play against fellow team-mate Koscielny.
3. Laurent Koscielny (France) - Arsenal's defence leader will be featuring for France and will be the key player in the defence. France are strong contenders for the competition and Koscielny's talent will be tested to win the tournament.
4. Per Metesacker and Lukas Podolski (Germany) - Both the players will feature for the mighty German team. They are strong favorites for the tournament. Both the gunners will face Nicklas Bendtner and RVP in the qualifying rounds.
5. Wojciech Szczesny (Poland) - Szczesny will be the first choice shot stopper for the hosts Poland. He has proven his quality and will take on the biggest stage of European football to show his talent. His team-mate Fabianski injured his should and will be out of the tournament. Poland is placed with Russia, the Czech Republic and Greece. Szczesny will try to stop the little Russian team-mate Andrey Arshavin and Rosicky.
6. Andrey Arshavin (Russia) - Andrey Arshavin, the player Arsenal broke the club record and bought him to the Emirates, will be wearing the captain arm-band and will try to take Russia into the final stages of the tournament. Certainly the cutest of the players featuring in the Euros, Arshavin will try to show what he is made up of and will try to display brilliant performance which in turn will help him to decide his future with Arsenal after last season he spent his season on loan away from the Emirates. Russia will play against Poland, Greece and Czech Republic. Arshavin will play against his team-mates Wojciech and Tomas Rosicky.
7. Nicklas Bendtner (Denmark) - Nicklas Bendtner will lead the attack for Denmark. Bendtner will try to show his skills as he will try to search for a new club next season as he wants more playing time on pitch. Placed with the teams like Holland, Germany and Portugal. He will feature against his fellow gunners RVP and Mertesacker.
8. Tomas Rosicky (Czech Republic) - After being a star man in 2011-2012 season, he will try to show that same spirit and good performances for his national team. Being placed with Russia, Poland and Greece, they have chances to go forward in the knockout phase and will be the most competitive group of Euro.
