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.

Arsenal Vs Wigan Match Preview and head to head comparison

Arsenal host Wigan Athletic at Emirates Stadium on Monday in Game week 34. Arsenal will try to win the game but they know it wont be easy enough to get victory over Latics who recently defeated Manchester United by 1-0, almost defeated Chelsea and defeated Liverpool by 1-2. They have lost just 1 game, that was against Chelsea whom they had almost won, in last 7 matches and collected 10 points out of 15 in last 5 games. Though Arsenal have already defeated Wigan by 4-0 in early December, the situation is different now. They are in their best form ever but at the same time Arsenal are in good form too. Arsenal have not lost a single game at Emirates since February. This could be a tough fixture for Arsenal who are still fighting for 3rd spot in Premier League.

Top Goal Scorers

Fabianski to leave Arsenal this summer

Fabianski is set to leave Arsenal on loan or permanently this summer.

Fabianski- "Put me in the Starting 11 or I will leave the Club."

Arsenal second choice goalkeeper has hinted this could be his last season with Arsenal. His team mate Szczesny, who overtook his spot after he got injured last season, has been outstanding goalkeeper in Premier League with 12 clean-sheets this season. 

Also Manuel Almunia is set to leave Arsenal on free this summer. Arsenal also have emerging young goalkeeper Damian Martinez on line yet to play for Arsenal and it's been reported that Arsenal are eyeing to land Birmingham young talented goalkeeper Jack Butland this summer. 

With another goalie Vito Mannone on loan to Hull city who will return Arsenal in summer, its more likely the former Arsenal first choice goalkeeper Fabianski will leave Arsenal this summer on loan or permanently.

Arsene Wenger on Jack Wilshere is optimistic and he hopes Jack to return within next 2 months.

Last minute change in Arsenal Starting 11 includes Ramsey

Substitutes: Fabianski, Rosicky, Jenkinson, Squillaci, Chamberlain, Park and Chamakh.

Arsene Wenger has reshuffled starting 11 by playing Ramsey instead of Rosicky. Benayoun is on the left flank alongside Robin Van Persie and Theo Walcott. Andre Santos has replaced Kieran Gibbs in left back position alongside Vermaelen, Djourou and Sagna.

Confirmed Starting 11 with 4-3-3 Formation against Wolves

Arsenal full back Koscielny is set to miss next match including this one against Wolverhampton because of suspension. Kieran Gibbs was substituted with Andre Santos in last match against Manchester City as it was said he had stretched his calf muscle. Though is not hurt that badly, Arsene Wenger will probably use his Brazilian fullback Andre Santos alongside DJourou who will replace Koscielny in Centre back position.

Benayoun is likely to replace Gervinho on left flanks. He's been more successful in recent days as left winger. His both start against top clubs like Manchester City and Tottenham has resulted to a victory. With Oxlade Chamberlain still learning from seniors, he would be a perfect winger for Arsenal against Wolves.

Arsenal Injury News Updates

Gibbs and Gervinho are back in training but will probably start today's match as substitutes. Mertesacker is ruled out for season long ankle injury. Jack Wilshere is still improving but according to Wenger he is progressing very slowly. Diaby and Coquelin will resume their training after 2-3 weeks.
