Major Clearout Coming Soon

I really hope this is true( soccernet never quote daily mail, but they also are saying it)

Arsenal want to clear out fringe players currently costing the club £23million a year in wages as Arsene Wenger prepares for a summer spending splurge.

Wenger wants to add at least two big-name signings to his squad and reward a clutch of players - chiefly Robin van Persie - with improved contracts.

The Gunners will embark on a summer cull designed to give Wenger as much leeway as possible with regards to offering competitive salaries.

And some of the club's biggest earners will be put up for sale as Arsenal look to utilise their wage budget more effectively.

Andrey Arshavin, who earns £75,000 per week, Marouane Chamakh, who gets £60,000 per week, and Sebastien Squillaci, Nicklas Bendtner, Denilson and Carlos Vela, who are paid £50,000 per week, can all leave


Goalkeeper Manuel Almunia, who is on £60,000 per week, will definitely go in the summer when his deal expires.

PARIS SAINT-GERMAIN hope to land Arsenal striker Marouane Chamakh for £5million.

Real Sociedad president Jokin Aperribay is due to fly to England next week for talks with Arsenal over Carlos Vela.

Sao Paulo claim Arsenal midfielder Denilson wants to prolong his stay in Brazil beyond the expiry of his loan deal.

Arshavin will most probably stay at Zenit with Podolski coming, Bayern Muenchen eyeing Bendtner, Almunia's contract terminated, just need to find a club for Squillaci and we'll be fine

I really hope they are true, Wenger is finnaly getting the message on $hit players

Arshavin and Wenger have both said they foresee him staying for next season. Of course, if any other club shows serious interest he will probably go, but there is a chance he could stay for at least another half season. The rest will hopefully go; I appreciate their contributions and some of them I believe are underrated, but they are wasting their careers (and our money) if they stay at Arsenal.

Also, unless he plays, add Chu-Young Park to the list. It is a waste of his career as well if we're not going to play him.
