[Centraal] Arsenal topic #7: Met Hleb?

quote:

Arsène Wenger intends to sign a goalkeeper before the weekend.

The departures of Stuart Taylor to Aston Villa and Graham Stack on loan over the summer has left the Frenchman with only Jens Lehmann and Manuel Almunia as his recognised keepers.

On Sunday Wenger admitted that Uruguayan international Sebastian Viera was among his options. Speaking exclusively to Arsenal.com this afternoon, the Frenchman did not name names but he did reveal the deal would be concluded quickly and the new keeper would challenge the present incumbents for their spots in the first team squad.

“Certainly I will bring in another goalkeeper,” said Wenger. “That should be decided tomorrow or Friday.

“You don’t take a goalkeeper to sit on the bench, you take them to challenge everybody. That is what we intend to do. It is fair competition.

“At the moment Lehmann is No 1 in my opinion but we live in a competitive world and everybody accepts that you are only as good as your last game. You always have to prove yourself again.”

Waarom nou weer nummer 40, is het zo raar om gewoon een normaal nummer te nemen?

Weet ik niet maar je geeft iemand als Lupoli natuurlijk geen nummer in de "basis 11",dat "hoort" niet om 1 of andere reden.
Vaak heeft het natuurlijk ook met persoonlijke voorkeuren te maken.

FOOTBALL SPY: WENGER DRIVES BENTLEY OUT OF HIGHBURY
EXCLUSIVE
By John Cross

ENGLAND Under-21 striker David Bentley has asked for a transfer after getting frustrated at a lack of first-team opportunities with Arsenal.

Bentley, 20, is the latest home-grown player to become fed up with Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger not giving him a chance.

And it comes as Arsenal yesterday agreed a new six-year deal with Spanish teenager Cesc Fabregas who they poached from Barcelona two years ago.

It is a bitter blow for Bentley who spent last season on loan at Norwich believing he would be able to push his claims for a chance at Arsenal.

But Bentley has returned to Highbury and found himself relegated back to the reserves without much prospect of forcing his way into the Arsenal side.

Wenger has a long list of strikers with Thierry Henry, Jose Antonio Reyes, Robin van Persie and Dennis Bergkamp and Bentley cannot see a way through. It has left him believing his future is away from Highbury even though he only signed a five-year contract just a year ago.


Crystal Palace have made an enquiry about a loan deal but Bentley would welcome a chance with a Premiership club and West Ham have shown early interest.

Bentley, who has started just one Premiership game for Arsenal, is the latest in a long line of home-grown youngsters who have felt they did not get a fair chance at Arsenal.

Keeper Stuart Taylor joined Aston Villa this summer, Steve Sidwell moved to Reading while former trainee David Livermore is set to join Southampton from Millwall for £500,000.

But Wenger continues to bring in foreign stars and yesterday tied down midfielder Fabregas to a long-term deal.

Arsenal also completed the signing of Cameroon youngster Alexander Song, 18, from French club Bastia.

Leuk dat Song een jaartje mag proberen een contract te versieren. Is te goed om met Bastia te degraderen en past wel in het rijtje jongelingen uit Frankrijk (of de Franse competitie) die door Wenger gehaald worden en doorgroeien.

Ook geen penalty overigens, dus ik neem aan dat de scheids inmiddels al een bloemetje heeft ontvangen?

Campbell transfer request claims

Former Arsenal trialist Philippe Christanval claims defender Sol Campbell has asked for a transfer away from Highbury.

Christanval, who had a two-week trial with the Gunners this summer, believes there could be room for him in the Arsenal defence if Campbell leaves.

"Sol asked to leave," said the 26-year-old former Marseille defender.

"He has not received any concrete offers as far as I know but the market is not over."

Campbell, 30, missed three months of last season through injury before picking up a new calf injury during England's tour of the United States this summer.

He missed the opening match of the new Premiership season against Newcastle last weekend and is not set for a return until September.

Christanval, who was released by Marseille in June, claims he was told by Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger that he would only sign him if one the central defenders currently at the club were sold.

Aliadiere joins West Ham on loan

French striker Jeremie Aliadiere has joined West Ham on loan from Arsenal.

The 22-year-old joined Celtic in July on a year-long loan but has decided to move back to the Premiership, with the Hammers taking over the deal.

Aliadiere made only two appearances for the Glasgow side, both as a substitute against Artmedia Bratislava in the Champions League qualifying round.

"I am very disappointed this has not worked out the way I thought it would," the Frenchman said.

A Celtic spokesman said: "Unfortunately, things didn't work out in a football sense for Jeremie and he wanted to return to England."

Even after a long-term injury to Chris Sutton, Aliadiere found himself behind John Hartson, new signing Maciej Zurawski, and in-form youngsters Shaun Maloney and Craig Beattie.

He had been particularly looking forward to Champions League football with Celtic, but the Glasgow club fell to Artmedia in the first qualifying hurdle.
