Arsene Wengers search for a new centre back and goalkeeper looks certain to continue after Fulham turned down Arsenals latest move for the Australian stopper. Mark Hughes is keen to keep Schwarzer at Craven Cottage and with Manchester City announcing that they would not sell Shay Given to Arsenal.
It now seems as though the Arsenal boss will turn his attention to Ajax keeper Maarten Stekelenburg.Ajax have already said that with their financial troubles Stekelenburg along with Gregory van der Weil and Luis Suarez could well be sold.
Talks about Arsenal signing Sebastien Squillaci are a long way wide of the mark.Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has admitted that the French international is beig watched by the Gunners but that is as far as it has gone.
A centre back is needed at the Emirates but my money would be on a move for Germany and stuttgart centre back Serdar Tasci.Tasci has already issued a come and get me plea to Arsenal and it seems as though Arsene Wenger is waiting to take the young German at a cheaper price nearer to the end of the transfer window….

The market has changes Bro, there no more cheaper experienced players on the market. You see our competitors such as Liverpool, Hostpur, MC, MU has improve their teams and we are still look at the market, its sound like a clown and Mr. Arsene “Bean” Wenger still dreaming!!

Stekelenburg no chance. He is now cup tied for the Champions League having played against Kiev earlier this week. No way would Arsene buy him now.

why dont all you people who write about arsenal understand anything.you are saying tasci should come.some people say hangeland cahill or mertsacker should come.even if they wanted to come and wenger had the money to buy them they still wudnt be bought.We have verm djourou kosc and suppose either of these cb come, who would be willing to sit on bench if 1st choice pairing doesnt get injured for a long time.that is why we had that stupid silvestre there for last 2 years.arsene wants someone who has quality and can sit on bench if not needed.thatswhy he is looking at likes of sqillasi and ciani.they are not bad and wudnt make much noise when left on bench. no team including man utd and chelsea has 4 topquality center backs.all u writers just wudnt understand that.yet u write wih such confidence.you just are not good enuf to talk about football
