Goofy....

I am in a very goofy mood thesedays, there is a flutter, an excitement of sorts,an all too familiar feeling :-) but i like it, the romantic in me is out again, i am writing again, i have a goofy smile on my face most of the times..

I wonder why :-), need i elaborate,

In other news there is a Tintin Movie coming out in December and i cannot wait!!

I grew up with Tintin and have read almost every published work of Herge!, so it better be good, will go in with a lot of expectations!

Been a while since i posted anything about the gunners,its summer and there is a lot of transfer speculation going on and i am on top of all the rumors but then arsene is a shrewd manager and most of the rumors are just that, rumors!
Nasri and Fabregas are the prime candidates being singled out for a move this summer, personally i think both will stay but i might be wrong, Cesc has four more years left on his contract and i am certain he will not leave without winning something with this young arsenal side.
Samir Nasri on the other hand is a very curious case, i like samir nasri, i think he is technically gifted, a good finisher and has tenacity which is lacking in many an arsenal player, but if he is not signing an extension, then why would we risk losing him for free next year when there is money to be made? Last i heard there was a 22 million pound offer on the table from City and for a player in his last year that is a lot of money? Would arsene do bad business? i highly doubt it,, like i said previously i think samir will stay and will extend his contract, i am sure there is some guile and charm left in Le Professor and he will manage to convince Samir Nasri to stay..
On the other end of the spectrum there are number of players linked to us, cahill, samba, mertasacker, mata to name a few,
Of the lot i would love to see juan mata come to arsenal, from the very little i have seen of his game, i think it would be a perfect fit and we will be adding a very exciting young player, but that being said, our defence is where our main problem lies and although what people may say about cahill i would still prefer mertasacker,,

So my predictions:
Samir and Cesc Stay
Juan Mata and Per Mertasacker arrive
Bendtner and Almunia leave,

Leaves us with denilson,eboue,diaby,rosicky,vela all of whom i think need to be unloaded, well maybe all by rosicky,, i still think he can offer something, but denilson and diaby definitely need to go but i think they will end up staying!
