It was official, it was on the Arsenal Direct site last night. He only looks different because his photos were taken in Germany instead.

Didnt know people look different depending on the country were a photo is taken.

I meant lighting depending on a different environment, probably should have said that...

Apparently this is the new Arsenal away kit, horrid.

I think I'm gonna puke

When asked if he is staying at Dortmund, one of Kagawa's team mates apparently says "ask Arsene Wenger", I don't understand German so could someone clarify this? Interesting if so.

Although his agent did confirm that they met with Manchester United anyway...

One if his teammates jokingly said "Arsene Wenger is waiting!". But considering they were all drunk at the time, I don't know how much you can trust them

Eh, as much as I would like him I think he will go to Manchester United anyway.

Downing and Carroll, but no Walker and Suturidge? Good job

[nBurbidge]

Walker is out injured, and the decision to leave out Micah Richards is disgraceful as he was probably the best English right back in the league last season. Glen Johnson? Just wow...

Sturridge is on standby, so if anyone in attack is injured he may come into the squad. Interesting to see Oxlade-Chamberlain make the squad, wonder if it will have the same impact that it had on Walcott when he went to the World Cup in 2006. It is however better with him going to the Euros, would much rather that than the Olympics.

Stewart Downing? What a massive piss take. Carroll has been in decent form as of late, but not enough to warrant a place in the squad.

Full squad:

Goalkeepers: Joe Hart (Man City), Rob Green (West Ham), John Ruddy (Norwich)

Defenders: Glen Johnson (Liverpool), Phil Jones (Man United), John Terry (Chelsea), Joleon Lescott (Man City), Gary Cahill (Chelsea), Ashley Cole (Chelsea), Leighton Baines (Everton)

Bayern signed Hoffenheim keeper Tom Starke as the man behind Manuel Neuer for the coming seasons.
Starke wanted to move becuase Hoffenheim signed Tim Wiese and Bayern needed a new No2 after Jörg Butt retired at the end of this season.

Bye Bye King Kenny you useless twat! ahaha Liverpool make me laugh.

M'Vila rumours seemed to have cooled down a bit, but @Futbol_Europa has claimed that an agreement has been reached.

A few rumours that Arsenal has had an offer accepted by Dortmund for Kagawa, and the player now just has to choose between Manchester United and Arsenal.

If both of them happen, will be insane. Pretty sure Kagawa will join United though.

United is making offer for Lewandovski aswell.
If they want to buy him, it will be better than after the Euro, i'm sure he'll do something great.

Dortmund already said they won't sell anyone whose contract lasts until 2014 or longer, and right now that's the case for anyone but Kagawa. Hence they can, and will most likely do, keep all players of the current roster for at least one more year, and then can still make a lot of money next summer.
