Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has blasted Manchester City’s new owners and told them he would not sell midfielder Cesc Fabregas, even for £135m. (The Sun)

Not that I think there is anything behind Cesc Fabregas going to Manchester City but history does shown that Arsene Wenger has a price on every one of his players.

Arsenal are being linked with Brazilian midfielder Mineiro, 33, who left Hertha Berlin this summer. (Daily Mail)

That will stir excitement in the hearts and minds of Arsenal fans.

Wigan boss Steve Bruce admits he fears losing Emile Heskey for free when the England striker’s contract ends next summer. (Various)

If Heskey doesn’t sign a new deal with Wigan by January that is a sure sign that will be look to play elsewhere come next season.

Arsenal may leave new England sensation Theo Walcott on the bench for their game against Blackburn on Saturday. (Various)

However, they will also offer him a massive pay increase to fight off the threat of big-money bids. (Daily Express)

I’m sure leaving him on the bench will convince Walcott to commit his long term future to the club.

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has mocked Manchester City’s signing of Robinho: “What is worrying is that a player signs somewhere and the next day he doesn’t know where he has signed.” (The Sun)

It was kind of funny that during Robinho press conference he made mention of being happy signing for Chelsea instead of Manchester City.
