As the clock ticks on transfer deadline players are still being linked with Arsenal which will allow Arsenal fans still to have a glimmer of hope.

Italian Journalist Tancredi Palmeri tweeted the following;

“Wenger is in Rome to join the 'Match for Peace' for the Pope. Rumours around already that he will meet Roma for Destro.

In fairness, Wenger did hold contacts for Destro until 2 days ago. But (if true) could be too short time for Roma to find a replacement”

I don’t know how much truth is in this but Arsenal have been linked before with Chelsea. At the moment any striker with experience and good quality will do to make sure that this squad can compete. Destro stats are good at Roma with the striker making 41 appearances and scoring 19 goals. However, Destro got married a couple of days ago which may be a stumbling block.

Moreover, the king of Sky Sport’s deadline day Jim White is doing a question and answer session. An Arsenal fan asked him of any Arsenal news and he said on vine

“ I definitely expect Arsenal to make a signing before 11 o’clock tonight, we are watching that one closely for you.”

This will give Arsenal fans a bit of hope as Jim White is well known for receiving information on transfers.

Additionally, another striker Arsenal are now being linked with is Alvaro Negredo. This is because Daily Mail chief football writer Lee Clayton tweeted this info;

“Just had a call to say don’t rule out Arsenal and Negredo, but City surely won’t sell there and he and his family keen to return to Spain”

If these rumours are true then it shows Arsenal are still active, I will take any of Negredo and Destro as both could to a job in this Arsenal side.

It’s going to be a long night.

This crazy last day policy by our once great club is betraying our wonderful fans,financially squeezed by ridiculous ticket prices. The whole rotten edifice of owner, directors and scandalously overpaid, complacent manager needs to be swept away in a tsunami of fan protests and people brought in to run the club who love it, not to milk and ruin it.
