Arsenal go after Benzema: It has been a disastrous transfer window for Arsene Wenger but he is reportedly hoping to make up for the lack of signings by persuading Real Madrid to part company with French international Karim Benzema.
Chelsea in for Eto’o? Reports are suggesting that Samuel Eto’o's agent is in London to discuss the possibility of him linking up with Jose Mourinho again. His old club Inter Milan are also keen, however.

No bids for Vaz Te: Cardiff may be linked to West Ham forward Ricardo Vaz Te but Hammers boss Sam Allardyce has insisted that the club have yet to receive any offers for the Portguese frontman.
Madrid are already short a striker. I can’t see them letting Benzema go after already selling Higuain. That leaves them with one young striker. Even with two they are short.
Benzema would be a huge signing for Arsenal ! world class striker who hasn’t exactly got all the chances he would have liked at Madrid. Always thought he should have gone to United when they were interested in him a few years ago.
I’d love it if we got him, can’t really see Madrid letting him go though…I’m just so desperate at this stage…please please just sign a world class striker Arsene!!
The only one that possibly was available was David Villa, he only cost Atletico €5 million!! Can’t see Benzema leaving with Higuain gone, Suarez is a no go, Rooney is a no go, Cavani was only going for the mega wages and Higuain was always going to Italy. Falcao was another mega wage one. Villa was the only realistic shot, Rooney is on 200+ grand a week now, Suarez would need 150+ grand a week, way outside Arsenal’s structure.
That old trusty wage structure…time for that to be f**ked out the window. Hard to see Benzema joining the ranks I agree, maybe Michu is more realistic. Giroud simply won’t cut the mustard on his own.
I actually like Giroud, he’s a quality striker, better than Dzeko, Ba, Cisse, lambert, and most big frontmen in the league. I think Arsenal have their answer in the team already, they just need to sign a winger and let Walcott play off Giroud, I hear Nani’s going cheap…
He’s alright, lovely finish against Villa…I think we need someone more prolific though. I do like him and reckon he will be much better this season.
Just watching Michu play you would know he would be perfect for Arsenal. I would agree he is the only top class striker around that will not cost silly money. Ye have alot if injuries at the moment but id say its vital that Wilshere stays fit.
I don’t want to knock Giroud, but he is not better than these players.
Gavin still sour because arsenal tried to sign Suarez…
Ya, a good team in European competition trying to sign a good player not playing in European competition, horror!
More horse shite about arsenal buying big players just look at the history of the manager he won’t buy benzema not for the forty million he will cost and for the hundred thousand or more a week he will demand why bother with stories like this
Gavin you’ve changed your target it used to be “Manure” this, “manure” that. Finally admitted defeat? Still though, I feel your target is too high up the ladder, maybe Swansea, West Brom or Fulham would be better suited to your highly articulate tongue lashing
Sure if your missing your utd bashing fix,they have hardly set the world on fire in the transfer market…
Chelsea next and big game for both managers and fans the following week…
Being honest, I’ve seen nothing from Chelsea’s first 2 games that would strike fear, Hull at home was always going to be 3 points, and 2-0 hardly made the world sit up and take notice. The were very fortunate against Villa, and Ivanovic should have seen red. That being said, Mourinho’s record at home is unreal, can’t see United winning, unfortunately, but with RVP in a team you never know…. He’s scored against 19 of the 23 teams he’s played against for Man Utd.
Do canio buying alot of players, but are they really up to it, with the exception of Altidore and Giacharini
