Don't panic - Helb is on it's way

According to reports gleaned from the German Stuttgarter Nachrichten newspaper based in Stuttgart, the illusive Alexand er Helb is on his way to The Arsenal. After a few weeks of the Belarussian being linked to The Arsenal it looks like he might actually get to play in the red and white of Arsenal, er make that the fruity blackcurrant number.

Saint Wenger had this to say "The transfer will be completed in the next few days. I think he can start packing his bags to come to us," Well that's what ze Germans newspaper quoted. Oh and the Beeb have been credited with a bit of news on it at as well, reporting that The Arsenal have upped their opening bid from £4.75m to £6m to get ze Germans to the table and chat business.

There were reports in numerous news papers and web sites that Saint Wenger was stalling on the deal for Helb as he was pursuing SWWWP, we shall see.

Cygan doesn't want to be a Nancy boy

Highbury cult hero Pascal Cygan has decided to turn down the possibility of a transfer to newly promoted French team Nancy.

Cygan (pictured) has 'allegedly' said he wants to fight for his Arsenal place, where he has fallen behind in the pecking order. Cygan has fallen so far behind that Frank McLinktock is still on Saint Wenger's rolladex 'just in case'.

Guti: gu -ti,  gu-ti be, gu-ti be.. a Gooner

(Say it slowly...) OK well it does work when you say it, no one has used it so here's another allgoonerdup.com 'exclusive' and that will be the chant IF the Spaniard does come to Highbury.

Anyway on with the story, Real Geri-atico's second pin-up boy and all round bench warmer Guti has said if he does leave the Madrid club he wants to join The Arsenal. Real have said as much they won't stand in the way of the midfield player should he decide to leave for pastures new.

'Allegedly' Real have reported that Italians Juventus are after the crafty play maker as well. Meaning not only are they not going to stand in Guti's way they also want to get top dollar in a bidding war for him, cynical? who us?

Every 'keeper and his dogg linked to The Arsenal

We should actually make a list or table of which keepers The Arsenal are reportedly interested in as it increases and gets more 'interesting' or is that annoying every day.

Today's 'keepers and none which would have you thinking 'Yep, sign him up' are revealed as, Jose Reina (ok we've heard of him) who plays for Villareal and wanted by Liverpool, Jan Lastuvka who plays for Shakhtar Donetsk and Rennes stopper and reas Isaksson. Reports Saint Wenger actually giving Stuart Taylor a go between the sticks are 'reportedly' well wide of the mark, who will certainly leave should The Arsenal sign a (decent) keeper, hopefully he will take Manuel Almunia with him when and if he does head through the revolving Arsenal goal keeping door.
