Wenger, "Show some respect to Manchester City Players, Fellas"

Arsenal Supporters
Arsene Wenger has urged Arsenal Supporters to respect former Arsenal Players when they visit Emirates in Carling Cup Quarter Final against Arsenal on Tuesday .

Arsenal former players Gael Clichy and Samir Nasri had joined Manchester City last summer leaving Arsenal on dilemma. Arsenal had already lost Cesc Fabregas and Eboue when Clichy and Samir Nasri left the club. Because of them we lost matches against Liverpool and Manchester United. Of course, we Arsenal supporters are furious at them and we will certainly boooo... them.

However, Arsene Wenger has urged Arsenal fans to support former Arsenal players. 

Wenger told, "Everyone should respect every player whether he is from Manchester United or Tottenham or Manchester City." 

Arsenal Vs Manchester City, Match Preview and Head 2 Head Comparison


Arsenal host Premier League current leader Manchester City at Emirates in Carling Cup Quarter Final. Both teams drew their league matches in game week 13. Arsenal already qualified for Champions League will be the confident side among two teams. Though Manchester City are still league leader, they recently lost 2-1 against Napoli in Champions League group division. With that lost to Napoli, quest to climb the Round of 16 is getting dimmer day by day.

Arsenal had defeated Bolton by 2-1 and Manchester City to Wolves by 5-2 in Carling Cup to reach Quarter Final.

Arsenal after "Romanian Messi" Tojre

Arsenal is tracking Udinese starlet Gabriel Tojre but it has been informed that the Italian team will need atleast £20 for "Romanian Messi".

The 21 years old, right winger plays similar football like Lionel Messi who joined Udinese on August 20, 2011 from Dinamo Bucuresti for 5 years. It is said that the transfer fee was around €10m.

Gabriel Tojre would be an ideal replacement for Chamakh, if he leaves the club this summer to PSG.


Mario Goetze Hints Arsenal move

Mario Goetze at Emirates in Champions League.
German International, Mario Goetze is linked with Arsenal one more time with just 1 month remained for Transfer Window open. Newspapers report, "Dortmund will happily let go their starlet to Arsenal only if they pay £30m."

The 19 years old Dortmund attacking midfielder played nearly a quarter of 90 minutes match at Emirates in Champions League group division match was impressed by Arsenal strategy and set up.

Some papers have even quoted that Goetze likes the way Arsenal and Barcelona plays and he would love to play from their teams.

Transfer Rumors: Arsenal offered £10m for Chamakh and £4.5 for Rosicky

Arsenal striker Maroune Chamakh has been offered  £10m by French team PSG (Paris St Germain).
Similarly, Wolfsburg has offered £4.5m to Arsenal attacking Midfielder Rosicky.


Chamakh has not started much of the games this season since Van Persie is playing really good in recent days. Arsenal who currently sit in 6th position with 23 points is behind Chelsea with 25 points as Arsenal drew last match against Fulham at Emirates. According to Arsene Wenger, his team drew their match because of champions league clash against Dortmund in mid-week. Arsenal do not have any back up striker and Chamakh is not in form too. It would be good, if Arsenal sell Chamakh to PSG with £10m transfer fee and buy Podolski or Mario Goetze from Germany.

In the same way, Arsenal attacking midfielder, Rosicky is in his last year at Arsenal as his contract expires in 2012. If Rosicky don't want to extend his contract with Arsenal, it would be an ideal decision to sell him to Wolfsburg.

Though Arsene Wenger has told to reshuffle the team with some unused players, today's line ups would probably be same as Wednesday.


If Arsene Wenger reshuffles the team, he will probably bring Arshavin to left wing replacing Gervinho and Diaby with Arteta or Ramsey. Robin Van Persie is in great form, so Wenger will certainly play him as central forward and replace him with Chamakh after second half.

North London Clubs, Arsenal who sit 7th in Premier league table, are 3 points away from 3rd, will face Fulham who are struggling to outfit relegation zone sit 16th with just 2 wins in this season.

The flying Dutchman, Robin Van Persie would be the key man for Arsenal who have scored 31 goals in 29 games in Premier League in 2011. Bobby Zamora, A. Johnson and Dempsey look impressive who have scored 3 goals each in Premier League this season could be dangerous to pierce Arsenal Defense.

The Cottagers have never won a single match at Emirates in last 25 attempts losing 22 matches with 3 draws. Last season Arsenal had outlined Fulham by 2-1 at Emirates.

List of Players Linked with Arsenal for Summer Transfer

Players Expected to Join Arsenal:

Players who left Arsenal on loan or are expected to leave the Club:
There was rumors linked with Arsene Wenger that he would leave the Club after the season is over. 

Transfer News: Stop Thinking about Mario Goetze, He is not for Sale.



Borussia Dortmund midfielder, Mario Goetze has been linked heavily with Arsenal in recent days but Director of  Borussia Dortmund FC, Michael Zorc has confirmed the young lad will not leave the club this summer.

The 19 years old, German International didn't played more than a quarter of 90 minutes game yesterday but he is a prolific goal scorer and play maker who scored a winning goal against Bayern Munich a couple of weeks ago. He has been linked with Arsenal and Real Madrid in recent months but bad luck, he is not for sale.

Transfer News: Lille tag £43m for Eden Hazard.Will Arsenal bid?


The quest to sign young talented attacking midfielder Hazard is getting dimmer day by day as Lille valued  £43m for him.

Eden Hazard, one of the hottest prospects in Europe is being monitored by Europe top clubs like Real Madrid and Inter Milan. Arsenal are still interested to sign Hazard but the price tagged for him is really overrated. Arsene Wenger, the cunning man would certainly not spend such huge amount in signing a young lad. He would rather buy 3 other players with  £43m.

20 years old, Belgian star has clearly mentioned that he wants exit from the club at the end of the season. But the fee is huge and at the moment Real Madrid are the only club who can afford him.

Transfer News: Arsenal Defender Squillaci set to join Espanyol on Loan

Arsenal Defender, Squillaci

Arsenal Defender, Sebastian Squillaci will join Spanish team Espanyol on loan.


Arsenal will either sell the Defender on £3m to Espanyol or only offer a loan deal until the season is over.  Squillaci has appeared just 1 once this season in Carling Cup clash against Bolton.

31 years old, French International is known as a player who is "strong in air and ground" and "reads the game well" had 30 first team appearances last season but has failed to please Arsene Wenger this season.

Arsenal had turned down loan offer by West Ham last week but it has been confirmed that he will join Espanyol on loan for rest of this season.

Arsenal Vs Borussia Dortmund Starting 11 with 4-3-3 Formation

Arsenal will go 4-3-3 formation as usual. Robin van Persie, the savior who has scored 31 goals in 29 total matches will be starting today with Theo Walcott and Gervinho alongside. 


Arsenal 4-3-3 Formation:
Arsenal 4-3-3 Formation against Borussia Dortmund.
Probably, Koscielny will start today on back as Jenkinson has just returned from injury. Ramsey, Song and Arteta will hold the midfield position, though Diaby is back in team squad he will start as substitute today.

Borussia Dortmund will probably play 4-3-2-1 formation, the same formation they used against Bayern Munich in Bundesliga where Dortmund won the match by a goal to nil. According to a Journalist Raphael Honistein, Dortmund will focus on attacking and breaking Arsenal's defensive line today. They've got Mario Goetze and Perisic who are at the best form to pierce Arsenal defense.

Mario Goetze is in his best form so is Robin Van Persie who has scored 31 goals in 29 games. It's really hard to predict but Arsenal will certainly dominate the game as Arsenal are still unbeatable at Emirates this season. Furthermore, we must watch the game to see who's side will play better football and collect valuable 3 points today. If Arsenal win, they will lead the group F with 11 points and Dortmund will be eliminated from Champions League though they have still a game to play. 

Arsenal Vs Borussia Dortmund, Probable Line Ups and Injury Updates


Abou Diaby and Robin Van Persie are back in team sqaud to face Dortmund at Emirates but Wenger will probably start Abou Diaby from bench as he looks less intensive because he has not played any matches since May, 2011. Likewise, Jenkinson and Chamakh are back in squad and they both will start as substitute today.
