Published 12th August 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Today Sky Sports have confirmed that Arsenal have tabled a £17.2 million bid for the Bayern Munich holding midfield player and almost every newspaper in Britain is also reporting the story and is close to joining Arsenal.

Gustavo was asked in an interview on Arsenal interview and below are just some of the quotes on whether he was keen to join the Gunners.
“My contract with Bayern runs until 2015, but it is very important that I play first-team football to keep getting called up for the national team.

“I am in a delicate situation at Bayern, and this needs sorting out. I have personal and professional reasons to move. I have heard about the Arsenal interest. It’s a big club we’re talking about here, so of course I’d like to play for them.”

“Arsenal play a very attractive brand of football and are in the Champions League,” he added. “They also have a very clever manager in Arsene Wenger. Even when Bayern beat them in the last Champions League, you could see they are not pushovers.” 
Here is Sky Sports Confirming the News



This could be the first major signing for Arsenal and would be a fantastic addition to the side and would add much need steel in the middle of midfield.

Luis Suarez wants a friendly resolution to his transfer away from Liverpool

Published 8th August 2013 By Gordon @Arsenal_Supremo


Luis Suarez has spoke out yet again about his transfer saga and hopes his transfer away from his club is friendly and amiable between Liverpool and Arsenal. He is still determined to leave Liverpool despite the strong words against him.

"I'm still defending the Liverpool shirt and I will do so until the last minute," Suarez is quoted as saying Marca.

"My aim is to reach an agreement with the club in a friendly manner and I hope the clause we agreed a year ago is fulfilled. Up to now, it hasn't been.

"It's not that I want to or am desperate to leave, but I like things to be clear and a year ago I made my position to the club clear."

"Gerrard has a lot of history with Liverpool and his words are very important but everyone should understand that I need to play the Champions League to keep growing as a footballer," added Suarez.

"Now I have the chance, I want to take it.

"A Champions League team (Arsenal) is making a big effort to get me and one always wants to be where they feel comfortable."

Real Madrid have been interested in signing Suarez and he admits he would jump at the chance of joining the Spanish giants

"There were a lot of rumours (about Real) that were different to reality: Madrid never called me personally or Liverpool to try and negotiate," continued Suarez.

"Every player aspires to reach the top and Real Madrid is among the most important clubs in the world. It would be very difficult to say no to Real Madrid."

Explosive interview from Luis Suarez as he tells Liverpool he should let him join Arsenal

Published 6th July 2013 By Arsenal Supremo


In an explosive interview Luis Suarez gave to the Telegragh and The Guardian Suarez insists Liverpool have broken their promise they made to him if they didn't qualify for the Champions League they would let him leave the club.

"Last year I had the opportunity to move to a big European club and I stayed on the understanding that if we failed to qualify for the Champions League the following season I'd be allowed to go," he revealed. "I gave absolutely everything last season but it was not enough to give us a top-four finish – now all I want is for Liverpool to honour our agreement."

"I spoke with Brendan Rodgers several times and he told me: 'Stay another season, and you have my word if we don't make it then I will personally make sure that you can leave.'"

"I don't feel betrayed [by Liverpool] but the club promised me something a year ago just as I promised them that I would stay and try everything possible to get us into the Champions League.




"They gave me their word a year ago and now I want them to honour that. And it is not just something verbal with the coach but something that is written in the contract. I'm not going to another club to hurt Liverpool."

Luis Suarez is desperate to play in the Champions League and cannot wait any longer.

"I'm 26. I need to be playing in the Champions League. I waited one year and no one can say that I did not give everything possible with my team-mates last season to get us there."

He continues: "It is not as if I am asking to move to a local rival. And I would not consider moving to a club outside the Champions League. I have made my desire to move known in private various times and now it feels like the time for me to make it public.

"My priority is Champions League football. This is about me doing what is right for my career at this moment in time.

"Right now the Premier League is the biggest and most important league. My record shows that I'm not the kind of player who wants to change clubs every season and I would have no problem playing in England for many more years. If we are just talking about the level of the football and the way the supporters are then it is an incredible league. Any player in the world at the moment would like to play here."

But it is a different league, the Champions League, that hangs heaviest: this is a theme to which he returns often. "I feel I have done enough to be playing in the Champions League at this stage of my career," he says. "Now there is an option for me to do that and I want very much to take it. I went a long time at Ajax without playing many games in the Champions League. I am ambitious, I want to be there."

Published 27th July 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


Arsene Wenger has revealed that Arsenal are no closer to signing Luis Suarez or any other player and there are no likely signings before the start of the Emirates Cup.

Wenger said: “We are not close to signing Suarez... or anyone else. We are ready to do quick deals but all the transfers do not depend only on us. We are prepared to wait.

“It looks very unlikely that we will have anyone before the Emirates Cup next week because everyone is on tour at the moment and it’s very difficult to get in touch with people.”

Liverpool will not have to sell but with their manager now likely to plan a meeting with the striker it will crank up the pressure on Suarez forcing him move away from the club. 

Luis Suarez Stats the reason why Arsene Wenger has decided to spend big.

1. 30 goals in 44 appearances for Liverpool last season
2. Since joining from Ajax in January 2011 for £22.7m, has scored 51 in 96 appearances
3. 49 goals in 48 games for Ajax the season before joining Liverpool
4. 31 goals in 62 appearances for Uruguay

    First day of the officially opening of the transfer window Arsenal have announced their first signing with the free transfer of 20 year old Yaya Sanogo from Auxerre. The Gunners boss Arsene Wenger said of the transfer.

    “Sanogo is a good young signing for us. He has shown that he has potential with his recent performances for Auxerre and also for the France Under-20 side. We are looking forward to Yaya joining us and continuing his promising development.”

    Not the big first singing the Arsenal fans were looking for but hopefully this will be just the first of many with the Gunners reportedly on the brink of bringing in Gonzalo Higuain from Real Madrid for a fee around £22 million.

    David Villa reveals he won't make a decision on his future until the end of his international duties.

    3rd May 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


    David Villa has been continually linked with a possible move to Arsenal but Villa has been coy about his future at Barcelona and he is currently travelling to the United States for Spain's friendlies against Haiti and the Republic of Ireland before the Confederations Cup in Brazil and revealed he will not make a decision on his future until the end of his international duties. 


    He said : "I have a contract and I have always said that I'm very happy at Barcelona," Villa said. "Throughout my career I have always been respectful of my current club. Right now I'm just thinking about doing a good job in Brazil and then we will see. 

    "We will have to analyse many things during the summer, but as of right now I'm not thinking of anything else other than playing football for Spain."

    Arsenal reported target Stevan Jovetic could leave says Fiorentina coach

    23rd May 2013 By ArsenalSupremo


    Arsenal reported target Stevan Jovetic says Vincenzo Montella who is the coach of Fiorentina, www.goal.com has revealed a while back that Arsenal are currently negotiating with with the club for the player.


    "You know Jovetic is a player with great talent who could have different ambitions," Montella told Tuttosport. "So, I think, as president [Andrea] Della Valle said, there is the possibility of him leaving if we were paid properly. I'm aware of this."

    The fact that Fiorentina failed to secure Champions League football as a result of a controversial Mario Balotelli penalty and a late Philippe Mexes strike saw them stage a late comeback against Siena, and seal third place. What this means is that they will struggle to keep hold of their star player as they won't be in the elite competition next season.

    Top 5 Targets for Arsenal's Summer Transfer Window 2013/14

    18th May 2013 By Panos Lennon 


    There is a buzz around the media that Arsenal this summer will be one of the most competitive clubs in the Transfer Arena. Will Arsenal pay 20+ million for a player ? Will Arsenal change its Transfer policy? Actually it doesn't matter as we are going to explore the potential of an evolving team with an enormous potential.

    Target 1: Get rid of the Phantom Players.

    We all know that we are wasting a huge amount of salary on phantom players like

    Andrei Arshavin(90k p/w)
    Sébastien Squillaci(60k p/w) 
    Marouane Chamakh(60k p/w) 
    Johan Djourou(60k p/w) 
    Andre Santos(65k p/w)

    Target 2: Bring a Defensive Midfielder 

    Playing Mikel Arteta as a DM  has proved to be the best solution for Arsenal so far but we all know it is not his natural position. Unfortunately Abou Diaby had another long-term injury and he needs to be replaced. I would love to see the ranks of Wanyama or Maxime Golanons (both linked with the club) next year.

    Target 3: Challenge Wojcech 

    There is one thing that we need to agree and that is a signing of a world-class GK.  Wojcech is a great player with an enormous potential but he is prone to mistakes especially when he doesn't has competition. Arguably he returned better after he was dropped off for Lukasz Fabianski and that is no coincidence as he is a very young player and competition is clinical. Julio Cesar would be a very decent signing for Arsenal this summer which would show Wenger's hunger for trophies.

    Target 4: Built a winning mentality

    Let's first say something that will surprise a lot of Arsenal fans. We are better than last year in terms of goals (104 goals this year with one game to go, 94 goals the previous year). We are not dependent on just one player like we were last year with Van Persie, goals are shared between:

    Walcott (21)
    Giroud (17)
    Podolski (16)
    Cazorla (12)
    Arteta (7)

    We are stronger...the only thing we miss is confidence (After the win with Bayern Munich we are unbeatable). One of the most vital ingredients of a wining mentality is confidence.

    We have been bouncing back and forth the last 8 years with players leaving the club but managed to stay on the top level and be in 3 finals (Champions League and 2 Carlin Cups).

    Target 5: Push the Young Guns

    This summer is going to be an exception cause we are going to built of what we created so far. We don't need a 50 million transfer record player as it would satisfy the fans. 

    We just need to push a little the limits of our players and build on our core young players like Theo Walcott, Jack Wilshere , Kieran Gibbs, Aaron Ramsey, Carl Jenkinson  and The Ox.

    Conclusions

    The future is promising we just need to be consistent, keep our best players and bring two or three more quality players. Heavily linked players like Jovetic and Higuain will be a great start but first we have to beat Newcastle tomorrow.

    Transfer News : Arsene Wenger discusses his interest in signing Yaya Sanogo & Wayne Rooney

    18th May 2013 By Gordon @Arsenal_Supremo


    Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has revealed his interest in signing talented young striker Yaya Sanogo on a free transfer at the end of the season. Yaya Sanogo plays for Auxerre in Ligue 2 and has scored nine goals in just 11 league appearances and is out of contract in the summer. 

    "It is in the advanced stages but it is not done," he said, when asked about Sanogo.

    If Arsenal complete the deal then they would be due to pay Auxerre compensation as Sanogo is under 23.

    Wenger also revealed his his Pre Match Press Conference that he has not made an approach for want away striker Wayne Rooney. 

    "I don't know. I don't know if Man United will sell Rooney, and that is the best sign to show you that we have not many any approach for him; the first thing is to phone Manchester United which we did not do," he told reporters.
