Arsenal Agree €22m M’Vila Deal and Step Up Interest In Hoilett
By Gooner Mac Published: 8th May 2012
Rennes midfielder Yann M'Vila
Morning Gooners. A lot of transfer news doing the rounds today as Arsenal are linked with a double swoop for Yann M’Vila and Junior Hoilett.
News of a deal for M’Vila broke last night on Twitter and those rumours seem to have been verified as several sources run the story today, although there is some contention over the finer details.
Goal.com suggest a €22m (£17.7m) fee has been agreed between Arsenal and Rennes, with the 21-year-old will ready to sign a four-year contract, but the deal is dependant on Arsenal qualifying for next seasons Champions League. However, other reports claim that the deal will go through shortly after the West Brom game irrespective of whether we qualify for the Champions League or not.
It would make sense that a record deal like this would only go through if Arsenal were to secure a spot in the lucrative Champions League, so lets just beat West Brom and sign this lad, because he’s a proper defensive midfielder and he’d be a great signing.

The Daily Mail also run the M’Vila story but they are also reporting that we’re stepping up our interest in Junior Hoilett, who is available on a free transfer this summer.
Hoilett would be a replacement for Andrey Arshavin, who is likely to make his move to Zenit St. Petersburg permanent in the summer, but there is a lot of competition for the Blackburn winger.

This will be a sign of good things to come. I couldn’t imagine how strong our midfield will be for next season. Poldoski, Yann M’villa, Hoillet, Arteta, Rosisky, Wilshere. Indeed, Arsenal and Arsene Wenger have woken up. Gunners till i die.
no yet awake.Wenger is 1/2 asleep !
Love to c this dude play in our team Arsenal!
I wil be very happy to see playing for Arsenal but wat of Alex song?
With 15 assists this season I wouldn’t worry Song too much as he’ll be pushed up field in certain games. As Arteta has been forced to play deep alongside Song it will also free him up to play the attacking midfield role where Rosicky plays now. Signing M’Vila will give us great options going forward with loads of combinations.
Another thing that you might not want to hear is that it’s rumoured that Song doesn’t want to renew his contract.
Maybe he has been Frimponged
Or Frimpong has been Songed
Vry happy 2 c dis lad in red nd white jersey
I can’t blv to see those players we need them even more strickers have to get mr venger
What would happen to Song if M’villa comes to Arsenal.
Song z our keyplayer we cnt let hm go bring m.villa en attackers
Yes plus Vertonghen pls
what !!! Another African born defensive midfielder .the legs of opponents are set to suffer with hard tackles. Can’t wait for Belhanda to come .then surely our ‘Uranium will be enrinched’ we gat Nuclear war heads at d emirates next season
Descent additions this lads will be,they have age on their side and are constant performers
Arrival of Mvilla might mean an exit for Song. i cant see us have 2 of them in the squad. It will be a great thing if we can becuase it will give us more options as Song will have the freedom to go forward. We must not forget that Arteta is still there. With Mvilla arrival, we might not need Ventogen but we may get another right footed full back who can slot in for Kos if not available and also play on the right. Well if Bartley is back and fit maybe we will have a big squad. I can see Squilaci on his way out
That’s a gr8 news only if it’s true, nd also a relief 4 alex song.
Wenger pls dnt let totenham sign vertongen unda our nose pls, tnks 4 bringin lukas P.
Let just wait until the board sign these players;they av started to toy with our heart once more.i do not trust them but i pray GOD change their heart 4 good.
wow i would like to see those players in arsenal pls wenger try an bring arsenal up i love arsenal jus like my bed loue u all……..
Let it not b lyk a Juan Mata drama last summer. March on Wenger n bring them, they’re just fantastic
This is what we want wenger to do since,but now that he realise we have a weak squad let him do something fast and capture those top players that he want to inject in the squad I wish wenger luck,UP GUNNERS!!!
I’ll like to see dat happen. Mr. Wenger d ealear d better rush nd make ur deals b4 euro. I cant wait 2c van.persie alongside podolski.just 3 more signing ar ok M’villa,hoilet nd hazard if possible vertonghen. Our midfield should be M’villa,Arteta nd Wilshere
Wat of our own gnabry the german rizin star cant weit 2 c him promoted n i wana c belhanda n mvilla nxt season fulstop
If this news is true about Yann M’vila,I think that arsenal is ready for silverwear come next season.Besizes,I would like to see the likes of Clint Dempsey,Jan Vertonghen,Junior Hoilett and Belhada.I’m hopeful,the Gunners will raise again.I am Gunners until the end of time.
Would b great if we could sign both of these we would b able to compete on both champions league and premiership doubt we will sign these players but thats just because we have promised so much last season with mata deal and all hopefully 3 more players get rid of about 6 bring back ryo we will b well equipped to win the league next season no matter who any1 else buys
Am very happy 2 here dat wenger do dis, if he do, it will be great 4 him and make it sure 2 sign dat ajax defender vertonghen it we help arsenal next season
wenger,pls let ur promises b reality cos we heard enough of dis 4a decade of seasons come seasons go.Good 1fantastic signin of podoski,bt nt enough pls.also Djourou shld be relegated 2 feeders team.he hs no use 4arsenal.arsenal to beat w/b cme sndy.
Arsene wenger has woken up..Once a gunner alwaz a gunner….Gunners til i die.But i would really luv arsenal wenger 2 sign olivier giroud and hernanes 2 complete d squad…
gunaz till i die pls bring m villa pls
The signing of the above mentioned talented and physically fit players,will be a boost on the Arsenal squad and through team-work shall be the end of the famine at arsenal.
I wish to knw about the fitness of Jack wilsher and that of Mikel.Great gunners.
