A thread of Arsenal rumours over the years.... and some of the know it all’s.... who know fuck all...
Let’s Begin in 2004....
Let’s Begin in 2004....
Arsenal linked with a young 18 yr old Vincent Kompany... Arsenal fans were not keen at all. A bullet dodged it would seem....
We skip back one year to 2003 to potentially sign a zimmer framed Rivaldo... and then of course make a cheeky profit... forgetting we have to pay the guy... PikeyPete went on to apparently work for LehmanBrothers Inc I heard.
Juan Pablo Angel.... December 2003 rumour mill..
We had some lad wanting to ship out Bergkamp, Kanu and Jeffers for the Colombian heart throb. Fantastic stuff here.

Michael Carrick
Late summer 2004... picture the scene.. Pards is texting Woody the local Tesco Security guard that a £3m deal done for Carrick to Arsenal. Impeccable source

Hatem Trabelsi....
The Tunisian was linked with Arsenal until the day he retired. We all lived in hope..especially GoonerGurjit, I don’t know how long he had those fingers crossed in all honesty but the rest of us had a pain in our Bollox with this one by the end.

Xabi Alonso.. August 2004
A young fluffy haired Alonso rumoured to be on the way... fans had their reservations especially Kel Varnsen who was mega concerned about spending 12m on the Spaniard. “Talented but was awful last season” ... Xabi might have had the last laugh here Kel.

Luka Modric.... 2007..
Luka was an average player who finished his career with “a good shot on him” as far as I’m aware. Must have been a different lad who ended up a Balon Dor winner and multiple CL winner. I’ll have to double check that...

Andre Gignac... 2008
Just a reminder Wenger always had a penchant for big 6 odd foot French strikers.
Gignac was the flavour long before Giroud took up the mantle and satisfied Wengers desires.

Raphael Varane...2011
Arsenal linked with a young French centre half. Very young... too young for “Trutthurtz” in fact who with his chest out preferred the proven Prem Trio of Haangeland, Samba and or Cahill. Fantastic foresight from the big fella.

So the moral of the story is that football fans have always been know it alls. Who really know fuck all. Apart from a few trusted guys out there... you just have to find them. Starting here... with me. DM me for other relative sources. Stay safe. Wash your hands.
