Arsenal offered £30 million to Saurez but not enough says Brendan Rodgers

Brendan Rodgers has declined £30 million bid from Arsenal for Saurez but admits he will let go Saurez only if he receives right amount.

Arsenal are recently linked with Rooney and Saurez, both unsatisfied at their respective clubs has given a hope to gooners to see a superstar playing for Arsenal this season. 

Want-away players,  Rooney and Saurez are both available in transfer market but Wenger needs to step up and splash some extra amount to these players, if he wants to win some trophies this season. However he has told to press that Arsenal can now afford Rooney and has assured all the fans to give a couple of big names before transfer window shuts down.

Rooney admits he is not happy with his current situation at Manchester United as he will be losing his position in David Moyes's game plan. Newly appointed manager David Moyes is planning to play him as a substitute for Robin Van Persie which is why he is not happy at United. In addition to Arsene Wenger has told press that money is not the problem anymore to land Rooney to Emirates. So who will he bring this summer????

Everyone of us know that Saurez wants to play in Champions League and even Brendan Rodgers is willing to release Saurez only if he receives around £35 to £40  million. It is up to Arsene Wenger which player to sign because he has £70 million this summer. Football pundits have guessed Saurez would be a better addition to Arsene's team than Rooney, however its the boss who can make all these things happen. He has urged all the fans to remain calm and he will disclose couple of  names in the end of this month.

Breaking News: Napoli Signed Rafael from Santos not Arsenal target Julio Cesar

Napoli football Club have officially announced signing Rafael from Santos, which means Arsenal are definitely into the race to sign Julio Cesar.

After long speculation of Julio Cesar joining Napoli this summer, the rumor has finally ended today as Napoli signed Brazilian goalkeeper Rafael from Santos.

Satos Goalkeeper Rafael has joined Napoli

This news has finally made Arsenal fans more relieved as they were heavily linked with Arsenal target Julio Cesar this summer but ended up signing another goalie. Its now a win win situation for Arsenal to sign 33 years old Brazilian goalkeeper from QPR. 

Julio Cesar to Arsenal seems more probable after Napoli signed Rafael

Five Reasons that Julio Cesar will be playing for Arsenal this Season

1. Julio Cesar is a top goalkeeper and most of us can assume that he is not going to play for relegated team QPR this season. He will definitely move to new club and Arsenal are the most suitable club for him now.
2. Arsenal have already sold our third “Choice Keeper” Vito Mannone and it is sure Wenger will bring someone to replace him.
3. Napoli were the biggest competitor for Arsenal and were found inquiring about Julio Cesar but they signed Rafael which means Arsenal are now favorite to land Julio Cesar this season.
4. Julio Cesar was found taking about his future that he wants to stay at London, which can also be the hint that Arsenal have already approached him to sign in.
5. Arsene Wenger in yesterday's press conference stated that he wants quality not quantity this summer. Julio Cesar who recently won the best goalkeeper award in Confederation Cup is certainly a class. He has already won major trophies with Inter Milan. Maybe he was referring to him and other new experienced players.

5 Players Likely to Join Arsenal this Month

Another twist and turn in Arsene's regime at Arsenal as several players have been linked with Arsenal, yet no

concrete news about signing new players has shown up. Arsene Wenger's contract expires next year and Arsenal Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis has given a green signal to extend his contract further.

There was a time when the Mighty Arsenal were afraid of no one; not even Manchester United and Liverpool dared to match against our force. But in previous season, we were easily outplayed by clubs like Bradford, Blackburn, Wigan, Swansea etc. 

I know he is totally into his responsibilities but due to financial restriction which the club is facing, has always affected in transfer market. We were hugely linked with Mario Gotze, Juan Mata, Hazard, Villa, M'Villa etc but we ended up signing players like Gervinho, Chamakh, Santos, Giroud etc. We have already been linked with the players like Higuain, Fellaini, Rooney, Julio Cesar, Marco Reus, Luis Saurez, Benteke, Matt Hummels etc but below are the list of players expected to join Arsenal this season.

Listed of Expected players to join Arsenal this summer

1. Gonzalo Higuain (Probability: 8/10)

Higuain

Although his agent and his dad have already given permission for him to join Arsenal this summer, there are still things going on between these 2 clubs which is why taking more time than usual. Probability of Signing Higuain is almost sure.

2. Fellaini (Probability: 6/10)

We were defensively poor and we conceded many goals from set pieces last season and addition of Fellaini will definitely make our defensive wall much more stronger. After David Moyes left Everton, Fellaini looks more of joining top 4 Premier League teams and Arsenal are one of the favorites for him to join this season. Sources have claimed that he wants bigger challenge which definitely means Champions League and his ex-team mate, Mikel Arteta could be a reason for him to join Arsenal this summer. 

3. Julio Cesar (8.5/10)

Julio Cesar

Julio Ceaser to Arsenal seems more likely to happen as QPR are already relegated to 2nd Division and no top players like him wants to play for 2nd Division team. As he was found talking about his career that he doesn't want to go outside London which definitely means he wants move to Emirates. Moreover, our 3rd choice keeper Vitto Mannone has joined Sunderland for long term deal, therefore it looks more likely for Arsenal to sign this Brazilian Keeper this season.

4. Bernard (Probability: 7.5/10)

Bernard

Bernard is the possible replacement for want-away winger Gervinho who may join AS Roma this month. And sources have reported that Arsenal will soon approach Atletico Meneiro for long term deal. He is technically gifted and plays like Gervinho and Arshavin.

5. Ashley Williams (Probability: 7/10)

Ashley Williams

Ashley Williams will be a great addition for Arsneal as Arsene Wenger has already offloaded our reserve defender Squallaci and Vermaelen too is injured. It seems more likely for Wales Captain to join Arsenal as sources have confirmed he too wants to play in Champions League.

However internal source has confirmed Arsene's got 100 millions to spend this summer. If we can bring these players, we can sure fight for trophies this season.

Breaking News: Higuain has finally signed for Arsenal

Higuain has finally signed for Arsenal with reported fee of  £23million. He has signed 3 years contract with the Gunners where he will be earning £100,000 a week.

5 reasons why Clint Dempsey wont join Arsenal this summer

Clint Dempsey not made for Arsenal.

5 Reasons why Clint Dempsey wont join Arsenal

1. It seems Arsenal have more than 90% chance of signing Podolski this summer and its obvious Wenger will not buy another striker as we know how mean he is when it comes on spending money on new players. Also he have already stated, "I will add quality not quantity".

2. On-loan players like Carlos Vela, Nicklas Bendtner and Ryo Miyachi will return Arsenal next season. Also we have Chamakh, Park Chu Young and Gervinho fighting for starting 11. Why would Arsene Wenger buy another striker?

3. Clint Dempsey has his contract with Fulham until 2013. He is the top scorer with 22 goals in 33 appearances for Fulham this season and he is progressing well in Fulham and is a regular starter. So, why would he join Arsenal just to be another bench-warmer?

4. Fulham manager, Martin Jol had extended Clint Dempsey's contract in 2009 until 2013 and he will try his best to keep the American International to the club. He is happy with his parent club Fulham and it is for sure Dempsey will not leave Fulham to any other club, at least not to Arsenal for sure.

5. Clint Dempsey had joined Fulham in 2007. It's been 5 years since he joined Fulham from New England Revolution FC. Like Robin Van Persie is Arsenal fans favorite, Dempsey is Fulham fans favorite. Also, Arsene Wenger would never spent  £10 millions on the American International because Arsenal have many similar players like him already on the bench.
