Benzema ‘unwilling’, more on Di Maria and free-agent registration
Karim Benzema is ‘unwilling’ to leave Real Madrid for Arsenal just yet.
Reports have been circulating since yesterday that the French international, along with Angel Di Maria, has attracted interest from Arsenal who are prepared to spend over £40 million in the closing days of the transfer window.
But, according to Madrid-based newspaper AS, the 25-year-old has revealed that he is ‘unwilling’ to make a switch to the Premier League and join Arsenal.
The Gunners have already tasted defeat in the pursuit of another Madrid striker this summer after Gonzalo Higuain ended up a Napoli player following several weeks of talks claiming he was on the brink of an Arsenal move.
But while Benzema may be skeptical about life at Arsenal, his counterpart Di Maria could be lured by Arsene Wenger whom he has expressed his admiration for in the past.
Here were Di Maria’s words as a Benfica man in 2009:
“I do not regret joining Benfica. But I am sure that Arsene Wenger would have had a lot to teach me.”
On players that Arsenal actually have in the bag, Mathieu Flamini – who Arsene Wenger is now in talks to re-sign – could be one of them.
The 29-year-old has been training with his old club this summer after declining a one-year contract renewal with AC Milan, five years after ditching the Gunners for Italy on a free transfer.
And it should be through that same free transfer that Flamini will return to Arsenal as the club progresses in talks to complete a deal for the Frenchman by 12pm on Friday, allowing Flamini to be registered in the squad to face Fulham.
fucking sign someone wenger
fancy not liking a tight cunt
If you like cunts become a spurs fan theres thousands of them over there
Wenger had an agreement with Real Madrid, Higuain agreed to terms then the unwashed rectums at RM up the price by 9 million. Are you blaming Wenger for that bullshite?
Yes. He could have upped the big by 9mil. Still worth it
Benzema is a good foward and this season @ the Burnabeu his will display exactly why…..he’s already started scoring….2013/14 season 1 game 1 goal.
We dnt want Flamini ever again at Arsenal
he is not even closer to what we have now…all our midfielders
are better than him….he tinks he can jux leave and come back???? after he refused a contract extension..
Arsenal are bigger than that
Flamini is SHORT term until players return from injury. he is good enough to play DM until we buy one or the Verminator gets back
Who is we?
Is high time for wenger to make major sighnings. What are u still waiting for wenger?
There goes another season thanks to that cretin Wenger putting his ego before the club. I just give up and everyone else should do as well. This club is pants, the players are mediocre and will achieve nothing, the manager is a geriatric cretin and the board are just in it to make money. The fans should wash their hands with this lot – a waste of space, time and money…
If you feel that way go and watch chelsea or (as before ill bet) manchester utd.Arsenal is aproper club with values and a way of doing things .If that doesnt suit…..
you are an idiot , arsenal only have values in money,they fuck the fans over every season , yes I think I will follow Chelsea because I am not interested in funding loosers
Good riddance to Graham……moronic inbred cretin…perfect for Chelsea or Spuds1
Off you go then Leon we wont miss your type of support
You’re the cretin! Crawl back into your cesspool you moronic twat!
Recall Coquelin rather than sign the underhanded and much despised Flamini.
Wenger has lost touch of Managerial skills. He needs to be schooled by likes of Maurinho
Keep shagging boars Moses….and learn to write English while you’re at it…moron!
Di maria would strike me as a vanity purchase especially with cazorla oxlade walcott and podolski on the books.Benzema on the other hand is the real deal,classy,aware,young and in a world cup year probably in need of first eleven football.Use henry,nasri,viera,etc to convince him that his future lies in london.He,and arsenal,would benefit
We need di maria because we do need a left footer that can break in like Rosicky so di maria and benzima will be great signings for us..
Wenger must’nt just go for the free lads,my opinion,spend the cash,the lads must work,because the paid for them…???Think about it..
Please, wenger you should convince Barcelona for cesc fabregas to re-sign than flamini to play for arsenal again will be better. If you can remember flamini refuse to sign the time you beg him like a your son and he refuse to sign for arsenal again bcs of his one season recorver he go to AC MILAN. So What bring him back again. What is the Reason
football is business for both clubs and players.we funs have a way of how clubs should do business but is quite differet with those who run the club with self sustanability modules in their mind
though on flamini coming back i think looking at the cost of midfielders in the market, and if improved couped with his experience would not be bad for our squad. he was one arsenal player i didn’t like leaving because of his versatility
Benzema scored 11 goals last season,get a proper stricker in for fucks sake!!
£40m what a joke!!
flamini refused to sign because the season he had at arsenal when we got into the champions league he was quality, old cashly cole was injured for a big part of that season and he was a credit to the reason we got to that final but when the final came and mr cole was fit again and who played. I wouldn’t of excepted a miserly below average contract either.
i think he could be a good signing one we all be thankful he’s there to fill in wen required, shame he went when he did
Wouldn’t it be lovely to get both Benzema and Di Maria with Flamini thrown in for good measure.Eleven days and counting for something good to happen.
I don’t think we’re going to spend anything, and Wenger won’t renew his contract. Look at the evidence…. we desperately need a DM, yet we let one that we’ve been tracking for ages go to the spuds for 9 million…. 9 million!!!!!! and to the spuds…… without a whimper…… Look at all this nonsense over Suarez and American owners sticking together with LFC and MU…. sorry, but isn’t our useless owner an American? So shouldn’t we be part of the club as well, and LFC helping the transfer of Suarez to Arsenal, as our American owner helped the transfer of rvp to MU? If nothing happens and we suffer the embarrassment of losing to the spuds at the Emirates, I fear there is no way back for the current regime….
What evidence? You believe all the media BS like some cretinous moron and you invent stories about American owners to suite your pitiful view of AFC. I fear there is no way back from your mentally fragile and pessimistic state….so crawl back into your hole and support some other Club.
Pls Fello Guunners, Let Alone The Manager, We Should Rather Appreciate Him Than Criscing, He Has Show Faith In His Players But The Players Dont Show The Quality In Themself, Remember Those Player Went To Bayern Last Season And Beat Them On Their Turf, And Those Bayern Beat Barca At Home And Away, Though We Need Bench And Additional In The Squad, But I Trust Wenger That He Wil Buy Players To Fill The Empty Space Left, And Let Not Go Back To Issue On Flamini, He Went To Ac To Lrarn Lesson, And Some Of Others Too, He Came Back With Humble, Let Us Embrace Him, He Might Be The Reason Why We Are Going To Win Trophies This Season, If Cesc Come Tommorow We Will Accept Him, So Let Accept Flamini Too, Let The Home Fans Get Behing The Team, If The Home Fans Do Not Support Them Fully, There Is No Way The Team Can Excel, But With100% Backup, The Team Will Be Stronh And Beat Anyone, Gunners For Life
I like arsenal i am fan of arsenal
Did I hear you say nasri?
You know what, i know we haven’t seen any signings yet, and manager tells us that the signings will happen before the transfer window closes, for a change i beleive him because i think he finally understands the importance of bolstering our squad to be more competitive, and also beleive that we are going to sign couple of big name players, proud of the performance against the turks in Istanbul,
that’s character, please people if you don’t have anything positive to talk about the lads, don’t say anything, sick of hearing negative comments, be proud of your side regardless.
BE PROUD BE A GUNNER
that’s character
mon dear gunner fan,our pple say only fools,do things over and over again in the same way without changing their tactics…beyern are champions but are stil signing,real-madrid,spurs,liverpool etc are also.so,sit there and complain in ur heart while u pretend everything is alright.i hate pretenders like wenger and… AU REVOIR.
Kelvin….I think your brain has come to a boil and you are a boil on AFC’s ass!
Wenger will never buy a singer player this transfer window no matter hw good and cheap the player may be, he’s looking for free signings no matter how poor the player may be I said this before the transfer window opens and I’ll still say this when it closes
Mathiu flamini, arsen wenger take arsenal for granted.
fuckn cunt wenger tyhnks its his money
You’re the fucking cunt and it isn’t your money either!
If Wenger continues to dither and Arsenal continue to struggle,he shd go asap.He has his own price for any player and won’t pay a penny more as evident by his reluctance to pay one million more for Schwarzer,the Aussie gk.
The flaws in the team have been there a long,longlong time and have not been properly addressed.
The gk is one of them.Don’t be fooled by the cl win. If he loses to Fulham,I fear for Arsenal.
fuck that flamini traitor dont need him any more why not goto someone else we badly need DM and spending 40m for the 1 who can score just below 10 goals is a big jokes
You dont believe me I got suffered from GI ‘What ever it takes I will never stop loving beautiful foot ball…’gunners for life’
On any given day, the current line up can beat the very best in Europe. We showed that late last season by beating Bayern on their ground 2 nil. The issue is about depth of class in our squad. It has been in the past and definitely remains so today. We are often in contention for everything in March only to be let down because of injuries and a thin first team to finish the season. We put Fenerbahche to the sword and we should capitalise on this by signing some top class talent who want CL football. I am happy to take over the transfer negotiations for Arsenal – I don’t think I could do a worse job than the current mob!
Gary….you WOULD definitely do worse since you’re an amateur and they are professionals but I agree with your sentiments about our current lineup.
I negotiate large scale contracts for a living, Fuckyouaaa 🙂 That said, the dynamics in the transfer market are crazy this summer – seems more heated than previous years …
I appreciate with the plan of our coach to resign our old player flamini, and we urges to put emphasis on sign real striker Di maria on any cost. He help and make our squad to be strong enough.
This management attitude on their inability to sign players is killing the soul of Gooners all over the world. Getting players on the cheap or the ones who are out of contract has become Arsenal’s stock in trade. I am afraid we do not have the allure to lure good players anymore b/c this management have made the gun look ordinary and unattractive.
Mathew Flamini,yes he is a very good player, I think we will love to see him back with the red Jersey Dimaria too can help us but Benzema big NO because he is a lazy striker like the one we have now. So why Benzema? Oscar Cardozo could do better.
Benzema is good enough for us this time so far Suarez is no more coming and flamini too, he left us by free transfer so he is welcome back with free transfer but I prefer Benzema and Di Maria
People are not insterested in reading arsenal transfer news again they are just deceiving fans. They have turn arsenal to underated club
Wenger , must it be french players or do you want to trun Arsenal to french national team.
Keep up decieving us.
Bros i must be frank I’m really failed up arsen wenger with this his system, i will buy, i will buy continuous, what a man………. God help us…….. Amen
I have already known that Flamini will join arsenal as he is a free player. Hope he replicate his past performance, and I hope that will not kill Cabayes interest. Wenger the shrewd business man.
Come on wenger,we need 2 streng dis team,bring benzema n di maria
in arsene we trust, very tin in arsenal manager hand …..
defender its more needed for the gunners
We have wenger to blame for every transfer that failed. We have given him lots of chance, it is time to get rid of this french dictator.
Fuck wenger fuck all your comment, fuck all the transfer drama..whatever happen to arsenal this season put the blame on me wenger..looool
it not time to sign flamini on afree transfer wenger must spend
