I actually got a Nasri away jersey from last year. Kind of regretting that now, since there is a chance he might not sign the contract extension.

Arsenal are ready to negotiate Lille for Gervinho.

Paquet told RMC: "He wants to go and has developed contacts with Arsenal. We will soon have talks with them and see what they offer.

"He has expressed a desire to go to England and we will see what happens.

"Paris St Germain inquired but we are not thinking about strengthening a competitor.''

I think we would need to get another forward, becuase both he and Chamack might go to ANC. You can't rely on RVP to stay healthy.

It's a quandry for me - I want to have the new jersey for every game of the season, but I associate particular names with each design based on the season the player had.
eg.
09/10 home - Arshavin
09/10 away - Eduardo
10/11 home - Walcott
10/11 away - Wilshere

I think in future I'll order each jersey and then add name/numbers after the season.

The home ones are not bad, the leaks I have seen of the away ones are horrible.

Anyways some good news, Cesc says he is happy at Arsenal, hopefully this will end the Barcelona rumors.

"I am an Arsenal player. I have been very happy for eight years and I am very happy. I am not thinking about football right now, just about my holidays," Fabregas said, currently on a break in Ibiza with Barcelona stars Carles Puyol and Gerard Pique.

"There have been no decisions. The truth is that it doesn't always depend on the player and at the moment I don't know anything. I am very happy where I am. Anything else would be speculation that is untrue.

"You can never say never in this life as so many things happen that you can never predict.

"He [Arsene Wenger] is the boss, the one who makes the decisions. You should ask him. I was injured at the end of the season and I haven't seen him for about six weeks."

Fabregas' only trophy with the Gunners is the 2005 FA Cup, and he said that it is only understandable that he has a hunger for silverware.

"A player who is not frustrated at not winning titles is either lying to himself or lacks ambition," he said. "There is a good team and a good manager and one of the most faithful fan bases in Europe. With those I believe we can make progress and one day win an important trophy."

His brazilian nickname is 'Gervinho' due to his surname 'Gervais'...
...therefore his english nickname is 'Ricky' :biggrin:
