Hahaha Hulk was, like, talking to Luiz? Of course it can only be that he signed for Chelsea, there's no other reason for him to hug Luiz or be anywhere near him...

I love the rumours that fly around this time of year. Though I think Chelsea is crying out for Hulk

Haha he might very well have just been congratulating him on the champions league win. Plus Luiz is like one of the most huggable people in football lol.

Martinez would be a good think for Liverpool, but I doubt his name would attract big talent the way Benitez would. That said, I'd love to see what he'd do with Liverpool.

Hulk to Chelsea would be crazy, but it would also take them out of the Hazard race, unless they intend to bench Ramires, who was great this season. (Eden pls come to Arsenal :3)

Hazard will only go to one of the Manchesters or to Chelsea though. Originally he said that he would be playing in blue next season, but it seems that United got back in the race to sign him. It is getting a bit drawn out though, he really should make up his mind and pick one of the teams, preferably one where he will certainly play even as a youngster.

Norwich keeper John Ruddy got injured and will miss the EURO, replaced by Birmingham City's Jack Butland.

I agree about Hazard. I'm just clinging to hope. Grabbing him or Kagawa would be fantastic for the Gunners.

He's a great player but with the show he's currently putting on I don't think he'd really fit into the team :/

Personally I'd prefer players who join the club because they want to play for and identify with Arsenal and not because they get the best salary from us ._. But well, those players are pretty rare nowadays I guess

It's not a fact. Maybe I'm responding to a troll, but whatever. Yeah, Arsenal haven't won a title in 7 years now, which of course is a big disappointment. That doesn't mean that we don't have any pull regarding players. Consistent Champions League play several seasons in a row, and we're still one of the most respected clubs in England nowadays. Of course we're not going to compete for the megastars, but it's pretty damn ridiculous to say that no one would want to play for Arsenal. Oh well, fingers crossed for Kagawa.

The only pull Arsenal have on players is that of the younger generation. Ie the players under 18 years old. Every kid coming through prefers to sign to Arsenal as they know they will be treated right and given the chance to play in the first team as soon as they are ready. You signed some Birmingham whizzkid? He 13 or something and he has rejected offers from all clubs but Arsenal according to press, which speaks volumes for your pulling power

I guess we'll have to see come the transfer window. Podolski seems to be a done deal and rumours say we're pretty close to getting M'Vila.

Arsenal still have pulling power - as a Premiership side with consistant Champions League qualification we are very attractive, and can give high wages to players. Admittedly there are teams that have a higher wage structure and can pay well over the odds for players, but there always are. If Arsenal want to remain financially responsible then they can't go head to head with those teams for players. Kagawa is a decent aim but Hazard is probably beyond us simply because of how bloody highly he rates his services. We have Podolski and look like we're getting M'Vila. Now if we can get some players to shore up the back line I think we're in good shape to actually challenge for things next year - it's always next year for Arsenal... - but I really think, considering how ramshackle we were at the start of the season and yet still managed to finish third, that we're still in that very top tier of English football. A few tweaks, the right signings, get rid of the deadweight and we're in good shape. We just need to keep RvP and we're cushty.

Hazard is playing teams off against each other in an effort to raise his wages - the guy is turning into a real media-whore. I've seen him say he will be playing at this club or that all year, and I have to say as good as he supposedly is, I don't want him. He sounds like a problem we would do well to avoid.

Penalty, but I think Llorente should've kept on going instead of falling down. Pique let go of his shirt pretty quickly, and he still had a chance to get a shot off instead of hurling himself to the groud. I can tell you that's precisley what Messi would've done in that situation.
