Arsenal Keeping Tabs On Bayer Leverkusen Goalkeeper Rene Adler

Arsenal are monitoring the progress of Bayer Leverkusen goalkeeper Rene Adler with a view to signing him, according to a report from German newspaper Bild.

The 25-year-old is rated as one of Germany's top keepers, with the kind of ability to command his penalty area that Gunners keepers have lacked at crucial times this season.

He is contracted to Leverkusen until the end of the 2011-12 season and is currently sidelined with a broken rib.

It is believed that Arsenal's chances of signing him may well hinge on whether his current club reach the Champions League or not.

They are currently fourth in the Bundesliga, a point ahead of Borussia Dortmund.

Arsenal plotting £8million summer move for Joe Hart..

Joe Hart is a potential £8million target as Arsene Wenger steps up his search for a new goalkeeper.

Arsenal manager Wenger is also looking for a central defender and a midfielder to add to the arrival of striker Marouane Chamakh on a free transfer from Bordeaux.

Cash is available to strengthen a squad which has been depleted by the absence of six key players as this season approaches its finale.

The 2-1 defeat to Tottenham last week means Arsenal are set to finish a fifth successive season without a major trophy – and Wenger wants to ensure his squad is equipped to deal with future mishaps.Hart is on loan at Birmingham from Manchester City.

He is due to return to the North-West at the end of the season but will find himself behind Shay Given in the pecking order at Eastlands.Hart’s form has been so impressive with Birmingham that he has been talked about as a possible for Fabio Capello’s England squad for the World Cup finals.At 23, Hart will not be happy to be the understudy to Given and Wenger will have him watched in the closing matches of the season..

ROFL Joke about Manchester United Team..

Once terrorists barged into Old Trafford and took the Man U players as hostage. The whole stadium was under seige as the fans watched hopelessly. The negotiator pleaded with them to release women and children first.
They duly obliged and set Ronaldo free

Seeing this Gary Neville started running towards the exit. One terrorist went to shoot him when the leader stopped him saying,"You fool ! Handle the others first , we can catch him even after 3-4 hours , I bet he wont reach the exit till then !"

One of the terrorist was feeling hungry. The leader glanced towards Rooney and said to his comrade."Take a bite off him , pork is good"

Berbatov and Anderson were trying to escape when the terrorists caught them. The leader said,"Ok , you get to take unlimited shots on that open goal. The first one who scores is set free , the other dies !". They both survived the incident since none of them could score !

The same challenge was given to Scholes to which he retorted,"You bastards ! How can I score when you have tied my hands ?"

One of them went to kill Hargreaves when the leader shouted,"Don't kill him ! Never injure the handicapped !"

Another one shot at Giggs 3-4 times on his chest , but he wasn't affected even a bit. The leader scolded his comrade,"Fool , how can you expect that bullet to penetrate that thick layer of hair ? Only a headshot may kill him !"

So then he went on to shoot Ferguson to which the leader said,"Just take his chewing gum away and he may die !"

After a long siege , all the terrorists were found dead. Reports suggest that Rio Ferdinand farted and the air was full of drugs to which the terrorists fainted and died !

Wenger Battles Fergie for Sebastien Frey

ARSENAL face a battle with Manchester United over Fiorentina keeper Sebastien Frey.

A replacement for under-fire number one Manuel Almunia will be a top priority - but Wenger could find himselfin a bidding war with Sir Alex Ferguson for Frenchman Frey, 30. The £8million-rated keeper - who Wenger tried to buy in 2006 - is also a target for United boss Fergie as he looks for Edwin van der Sar's successor.

Although Wenger will not agree publically that his priorities are a top class keeper, centre half and centre forward those are the positions he knows must be strengthened if Arsenal are to move up a level next season.

Despite defending current No1 Manuel Almunia, Wenger realises the Spaniard is not of the required standard for a top-four side and knows he needs a top-class keeper if the Gunners plan to challenge for honours next season.

Vermaelen out for the Season..

Thomas Vermaelen is likely to miss the rest of the season with the calf problem he picked up in the defeat at Tottenham.

"I have no more news about him today. But it looks like three weeks and that means the season is over for him."

Tottenham Hotspur vs Arsenal Player Ratings..

Almunia-6-Could have easily caught that cross, he didn’t- he punched it 30/40 yards which is fine too. Amazing/flukey shot caught him out, not sure if he should have done better- difficult to tell exactly what the ball did...one good save, decent distribution..

Sagna-4- Played the whole world onside for their 2nd Goal.

Campbell-10-Faultless..Won every header, great passing, great attitude, was outsprinting bale in the 85th minute- nearly scored twice.

Vermaelen-6-One block, hope he comes back early

Clichy-6- Mostly good, but switched off completely for their second..

Denilson-7-Ran the show, was strong and distributed the ball well but sometimes looked for the most obvious passes.

Diaby-2-Stupid, Slow, Indecisive, off the ball he wasn’t there, liability, head dropped, shocking, go away and don’t come back before you grow back your afro..

Nasri-6-Tried, but there was nothing he could do- there was nothing on when he got the ball

Eboue-5-decent all round in both positions

Rosicky-4- Nothing great, few bursts of speed, especially in the first half. Rubbish shooting.

Bendtner-6-Scored a Goal! Cant argue with that, looked much better with robin up with him. Couldn't win any headers that caused problems..

Subs:

Silvestre-3-Fell asleep for the goal.

Theo-5-one great ball, 35 minutes of shit..

RVP-9-Changed the game, could have got 2 goals if t wasn’t for some late world class goalkeeping, caused the goal. Makes average players around him look good.

Tottenham Fans before the loss to Portsmouth..

"Who's going to score the goals?",
