A new German in the mix, The Benfica Trio and bye bye Billy

If I was to write a transfer wishlist it would involve a real raid of Benfica, the 3 players in particular are:-

Oscar Cardozo - A tall and technically gifted striker just coming into his prime.
Angel Di Maria - A classy winger, who at 22 still has a lot to come but will probably go to Real Madrid.
David Luiz - A strong defender who has a good reading of the game and is well experienced for a 23 year old.

Apparently Chelski are trying to get Luiz for £10m, if I was bidding I would chuck in a £15m bid and just accept that you have to pay a bit more if a big club is interested and get it all sorted out.


Sami Khedira has also been linked, if you are German and play in the midfield you can expect to read that Arsenal want to sign you! Stephane Sessegnon has apparently said he wants to leave PSG, sounds like the sort of Gallas replacement we want to avoid.

On that note, its official Billy Gallas will not be staying at Arsenal. I would like to thank him for a few years of service. Obviously there were problems, the tantrums, the autobiography, the fact that the squad dislike him, the loss of the captaincy and worst of all...smoking! The criminal! I'm just glad we managed to get rid of him without the own goal threats he made to Chelsea. The worst thing was we got our pants pulled down by Chelsea for Cole. £5m plus a player they didn't want any more, Cole is probably the best left back in the world and we got an average defender and £5m. Ouch!

David Luis don´t leave Benfica for less than 30M euros

He is problably the best defender for the future...

Cardoso is a great player, but Benfca have rejected 25M euro form Shakhtar

It´s similar to Bendtner

For arsenal, and watching your squad, JAvi Garcia (DM) and Ramires (Box to Box) and David Luis would make wonders for your team

To buy the 3: 70M E aren´t enough!!!
