In the continuing world of whether mozzi ozcan is a fraud, he stated that arsenal had a bid of 40 million rejected for a player a few days ago but things have progressed and he should be signing soon.

According to "Spanish reports" today, Arsenal have been in talks with Madrid to sign Benzema.

In a press conference today Wenger refused to confirm or deny signing Benzema but said nothing was imminent and he was happy with the squad.

That's the fan fiction update.

In other words, Wenger said the exact same thing he says about every other rumored transfer target he's been asked about. Still, wouldn't mind Benzema despite all the years of rumors.

There's a good chance it's not him in the tiny photo.

But I imagine Benteke leaving might have put him off sticking around.

"BBC Sport can confirm Fabian Delph's £8m move from Aston Villa to Manchester City is back on and the 25-year-old England midfielder is currently undergoing a medical."

That Ozcan guy seems like a massive troll. And Wenger apparently said Benzema "isn't happening at the moment" so who knows what the hell that means.

Champions' League release clause or something? It would be absolutely bizarre for Villa to not be gouging City otherwise.

Its only that price for clubs in European competitions, but that isn't too far off from half the league I guess.

Really? You can't think of any reason that clubs that don't have CL football and £150k a week to throw around wouldn't be in for him?

And you can't think of any reason that Arsenal, Chelsea or Man Utd wouldn't want him?

So does anyone have concrete proof of a Delph medical or is it just a random picture off twitter that The Sun is referencing? BBC doesn't normally spout poo poo like this, but they've been wrong a few times. I'm skeptical to say the least.

edit: David Ornstein is saying it's back on. Probably has to do with Benteke leaving too. Well, that's Villa down then.
