Swap Bid For Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner

Interesting transfer news are out claiming that AC Milan are planning a swap bid for Arsenal striker Nicklas Bendtner. The Daily Mail reported that the Italian giants are prepared to offer Arsenal Philippe Mexes in a deal to land wantaway striker Bendtner. The major stumbling block could be the France international’s £80,000-a-week wages, but Milan may give him a pay-off to push through the deal.

Arsenal 0-2 Swansea

I wrote on Friday that Arsenal`s recent away draws would be better judged in the light of proceeding home results. I think we can agree that that went well. Pre match I watched Chelsea`s malaise beamed back onto the Arsenal Tavern screens, their despair burned onto LCD display for a crowd of cheering patrons. Usually Chelsea`s misery is my meat, but somehow I felt to delight in their plight would be premature. Arsene made some changes to the side that drew with Goodison on a bitterly cold day in North London. Carl Jenkinson and Kieran Gibbs came in for the injured Laurent Koscielny and Bacary Sagna.

The voting system is made up of votes from each captain, manager and a media representative of FIFA member nations. Being Portugal’s captain, Ronaldo was also able to submit his ‘top 3′ players for the year and while he predictably ignored his closest rivals, the attacker did select Arsenal’s Mesut Ozil as one of picks. The 28-year-old perhaps slightly surprisingly voted for: Radamel Falcao Gareth Bale Mesut Ozil Obviously Ronaldo played alongside Ozil for the fi...
