The youths do the double. Winning the FA cup last night 6-1 on agg vs Liverpool.

A "Thomas" lifted the cup at Anfield, exactly 20 years since another one scored in injury time to win the league right there. It funny that this year's away kit was a tribute to the 1989 team.

Emmanuel Eboue concedes he may leave Arsenal after revealing that he is unhappy at the Emirates.

The Ivory Coast international, 26, told France Football he is unsettled by his lack of regular first-team action.

He said: "It would be hard but I think it would be harder to experience another season like this one.

"In any case, if I leave Arsenal it would be for another league because it is out of the question that I develop elsewhere in England."

Eboue moved to Arsenal from Beveren in January 2005 and became a first-team regular in the second half of the following season.

However, inconsistent form resulted in him being overtaken by Bacary Sagna and Theo Walcott in the pecking order.

He was booed by the Gunners fans back in December after coming off the bench against Wigan and was himself substituted

upson is good, but should have never left, he was impatient like so many arsenal youngsters that left either not good enough, bently or sidwell, or indiscipline penant

he should have never left he would have been captain for sure and gotten experience way beyond what west ham could ever dream of offering him

Wenger rules out Arsenal summer departures

Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has said that he won't be selling his top stars this summer as he plans to build for the future.

It has been suggested that the Gunners would cash in on Emmanuel Adebayor to help fund squad strengthening, but Wenger claims there will be no repeat of last summer when Mathieu Flamini and Alex Hleb both left the club.

"We lost Hleb and Flamini last summer and we have had to rebuild," said Wenger. "But we have done that now and the future looks bright. We don't want to have to rebuild again, so I want to keep all the players together for next season. I don't want to lose anyone.

"I want to add to the squad and have identified one or two targets. But identifying players and buying them are two different things.''

Arsenal have already bought Belgian defender Thomas Vermaelen from Ajax for £10m and Wenger is also expected to sign a defensive midfielder, with Brazilian Felipe Melo and Barcelona's Yaya Toure linked.

However, the French boss won't be caught short before the start of the new season and plans to complete his summer transfer business as quickly as possible.

"Ideally I would like to bring everybody in before we start back in pre-season training in July. I don't want to leave it until the end of August," he added.

"We are at a stage where we need to convince people that this team does a lot of things right. It does not need to be transformed. When you go on a long unbeaten run in the Premier League and reach two semi-finals, common sense should tell you that.

"We have to take encouragement from what we have done in the season just gone.

"I am fed-up with people who think I have £100m in the bank yet don't want to spend it. How can people think that? "The pride of the club is in having moved to a new stadium while maintaining the club at the top level.

"The policy of the club is that they have backed me in what I do and the way I do it. We now have to be strong enough to stick to that. We cannot pump £100m into it, so we must keep faith in what we are doing."

And hopefully we sign up Melo after the Confed is over.
Vermaelen and Melo, with no departures doesn't sound too bad.

Predictions?

.................Almunia...............
Sagna...Kolo/Verm...Willy....Clichy
..............Cesc......Melo...........
....Nasri.......Arshavin.......Rosicky
...................RVP...................

Adebyebye, Eduardo, Bendtner, Theo, Vela, Denilson, Song, Diaby, Eboue, Gibbs, Djourou, Fabianski.

Cesc can dictate from deep and the front four are free to roam.

Former Arsenal midfielder Gilberto Silva says he has urged his Brazil team-mate Felipe Melo to join the Gunners this summer.

The Gunners are reported to have made a substantial offer for Fiorentina's 25-year-old holding midfielder.

"We heard rumours and he asked me. I said it's a fantastic club and if he's interested he should go without thinking," Silva told BBC Sport.

"He is exactly what they need - a powerful player with quality."

Gilberto, who left the Gunners for Panathinaikos in Greece last summer, added: "If they got him it would be great because he is a player they need at the moment.

"I'm sure if they got him it would be a good signing. I have told him Arsenal is a great club and I am sure next season they will improve."

The 32-year-old Silva, who spent six seasons with the Gunners, played alongside Melo in Brazil's Confederations Cup final win over the US and said he had been impressed with his side-kick throughout the tournament.

"He is a very good player," said Silva after his side's 3-2 win at Ellis Park on Sunday.

"Felipe has shown in the national team that he has personality and quality."

"I am sure he has a lot more to grow as well. He is a young player, strong, powerful and has a good quality in his pass.

"My partnership with him works well and I hope we can carry on doing well for Brazil."

The Gunners are reported to face competition from La Liga and Champions League champions Barcelona for Melo's signature.

Melo has played only one season for Fiorentina after joining the Italian side from Spain's Almeria last summer.

He has a reputation as a fiery midfielder and in his first season in Serie A collected 17 yellow cards and three reds.

Lorik Cana. He's Albanian and Marseille's captain. 25 years old.
He's been on Arsene's radar for a good few years now but couldn't go over for a trial because of Visa issues. But he has 31 national caps now, and Marseille is listening to offers.

Contract extension with a higher trigger price for the player. Maybe Fiorentina didn't have that in the original contract and realized that Melo's stock is much higher that when they bought him. Contracts don't say much now-a-days.
