Arsene Wenger will 'certainly' be delving into the transfer market before the deadline of August 31. The Frenchman confirmed that he would be strengthening the midfield following the departures of Mathieu Flamini and Gilberto and duly signed youngster Amary Bischoff. But it is thought the Gunners boss wants one more experienced head in the middle to partner [. Click to continue reading...

Well here it is, the start of another season, finally. It seems like it's been ages since the last one, but probably just because everyone's been bitching and moaning all summer about how Wenger can't manage a team. Even with the Euros this summer seemed ridiculously long. But tomorrow that's all over because the Premiership starts, and we've got West Brom up first. Click to continue reading...

Good morning to you, another week has flown by, eh?

There's plenty of Arse action coming up this weekend as the Emirates Cup takes place with games against Juventus and Real Madrid. Certainly a good test for the squad and, with the games on TV, a chance for us to have a proper look at the likes of Vela and Nasri, and to assess the rest of the lads in terms of fitness etc.

Emmanuel Adebayor is staying at Arsenal, says Arsene Wenger

Arsene Wenger is adamant that striker Emmanuel Adebayor is still fully committed to the Arsenal cause and remains confident that the African will be playing for the club at the start of the new season.

The Togo international, who is a target for Barcelona and AC Milan, looked short of fitness when he returned to the Arsenal side with a subdued 45-minute run-out in Wednesday's otherwise impressive 3-1 victory at Stuttgart. Click to continue reading...

Sky Sports News reports that due to fitness problems new gunner Amaury Bischoff is considered a gamble. "Amaury is a young, promising player who we have taken a gamble on because he has been out for a long time," Wenger told the club's official website. "We have to get him to a very good (fitness) level. Click to continue reading...

Arsene Wenger admits he has put his reputation for unearthing top talent on the line by taking a major gamble on new signing Amaury Bischoff.

Click to continue reading...

Arsenal net £7m David Bentley windfall

Arsenal are set to receive up to £7 million following David Bentley's transfer from Blackburn to Tottenham.

Reports suggest a 50 per cent sell-on clause was included in the deal when Bentley left Arsenal to move to Ewood Park in 2006.

Just a quick post to say that Arsenal.com have confirmed that we have signed Amaury Bischoff from Werder Bremen. He's a 21 year old midfielder that hasn't played in two years. He moved to Bremen in 2005 but only played one senior game there. He can play on the center or the right side and he isn't costing the club anything. Click to continue reading...

Let's start with the transfer news, and the long suspected arrival of Amaury Bischoff has now been confirmed by the Arsenal website, with his signing likely to be the one Wenger claimed he was 'definitely going to make'. Now all the remains is the second one that he 'might make'. In all honesty, I wouldn't be surprised if [. Click to continue reading...

The long awaited arrival of Amaury Bischoff has been officially confirmed by Arsenal. Amaury, played for Werder Bremen last season, but did not sing a new contract.  The delay in the signing was because Werder Bremen were seeking compensation from Arsenal as they had "trained" the youngster. The French-born Portugal Under-21 international, 21, was a youngster with [. Click to continue reading...

Yesterday ArseNews revealed that new signing Amaury Bischoff and Mexican starlet Carlos Vela would be participating in pre-season training with the first team. This was only half-true however as midfielder Amaury Bischoff remained in the gym at Colney to concentrate on regaining full fitness. He will be unveiled as an Arsenal player once UEFA decide [.

With a little bit of help from our friends at Young Guns, ArseNews can reveal that new signing Amaury Bischoff will link up with the squad tomorrow as he participates in his first training session as an Arsenal player. Midfielder Bischoff signed on a free transfer from Werder Bremen over a week ago. He has [. Click to continue reading...

So far this summer, Arsenal's transfers read like this: In: Carlos Vela (returning from loan, work permit approved), Aaron Ramsey (£5m, Cardiff) Out: Mathieu Flamini (free, AC Milan), Jens Lehmann (free, Stuttgart) Add to this the impending arrivals of both Samir Nasri and Amaury Bischoff and you have a nice nucleus of young stars arriving at Arsenal [.

After many weeks of speculation, it appears that Samir Nasri's deal to join Arsenal will go through. Hampered by the distraction of Euro 2008, Marseille previously denied the deal, however club chairman Pape Diouf has now confirmed that the paperwork just needs to be signed.

Marseille were waiting to wrap up a deal for replacement Hatem Ben Arfa, who signed for the club this week. Click to continue reading...

A few bits and pieces to keep us going this morning.

I suppose we'll start with the Amaury Bischoff thing. According the player he's going to join us to play in the reserves having failed to make a single start for Werder Bremen in his time at the German club. I think much of that was due to injury rather than ability.

Amaury Bischoff and Arsenal have agreed on terms that would bring the 21-year-old midfielder to Ashburton Grove. The Portuguese upstart turned down new terms with German club Werder Bremen and now the two clubs need to agree on a fee... Click to continue reading...

I have to say, it always makes me laugh when it happens.

Every summer, we get linked to established names of European football and every summer, Wenger just looks elsewhere. Who expected Sagna last summer and who, for that matter, expected Diaby, Walcott and Adebayor in January 2006? The list is endless, but when we are all looking one way, Le Boss is peering in a different direction.

After Samir Nasri's move from Marseille, a Werder Bremen youngster has claimed he is on his way to London. Amaury Bischoff has announced that he has rejected the chance to stay with the Germans and seize the opportunity to [. Click to continue reading...
