Now Arsenal were in real big need of a striker, their main striker Oliver Giroud is now oout till next year with a broken leg. Usuallly these two clubs do not sell players to each other. You can see it when manchester United came forward to buy Thomas Vermaelen from Arsenal for fifteen million pounds, it was flatly rejected, and Thomas Vermaelen was sold to Barcelona for the same amount of fifteen million pounds. The last time that Arsenal and Manchester United sold a player to either of the clubs was some years back, when Manchester United sold their defender Michael Silvestare to Arsenal.

He will spend fifty million pounds on the Argentinean winger Angel Di Maria, who is for sale by his club Real Madrid, as they were forced to sell Angel Di Maria, as it reported that Real madrid are indeed very keen to use the Angel Di Maria money to buy Radamel Falcao from Monaco. Now it appears that Marcus Rojo the Argentinean defender , who plays his club football in Portugal with Sporting Lisbon. It is said that Marcus Rojo failed to report for training at Sporting Lisbon, and he has asked for a transfer as well. The third player to be wanted is the Dutch defender Daley Blind , the son of Danny Blind, the former Ajax and Holland captain.

The price gradually increased from 10.3 million to 15 million pounds.The reason for it to increase was that Manchester United had offered to pay Arsenal fifteen million pounds, but it appears Arsenal wanted the Manchester United player Cris Smalling as part of the deal, and that Manchester United were not at all willing to do, so they dropped out of the race to sign him. But the big question is will the 28 year old Belgian fill in those giant boots left by Carles Puyol, who retired last year due to repeated knee injuries.

THOMAS VERMEALEN TO BE SOLD TO BARCELONA.

This seems hard as Arsenal wanted 12 million pounds for Thomas Vermaelen, and Manchester United value Luis Nani at nine million pounds, so there will be a short fall of three million pounds. And the Borussia Dortmund coach has said Mats Hummels is not for sale at any price.

BARCELONA WANT THOMAS VERMALEAN.

THE ARSENAL DEBT COLLECTOR IS PER MERTESACKER ..

The Arsenal team have appointed their German defender Per Mertesacker as their debt collector, the person to collect the fines from the players. It is mainly for coming late for their regular practice matches, He was selected as the debt collector after Thomas Vermaelen recommended his name, it is very well known that Germans are very strict and do the work very seriously, we can see that the German footballers are very dedicated to the game, so they produce good young players as well. In England many footballers report late for practice , but Per Mertesacker says he is surprised as he has had to fine many Arsenal players. I wonder how many new that a debt collector is at all clubs.
