They will finish in the top 4. You HAVE to be kidding if you think the likes of Tottenham or Villa are going to beat out Arsenal. Good joke.

De Guzman is a class act but if he and Nasri do take a little whil to find their form then Arsenal are in deep shit. The way that they are playing they will be lucky to get a UEFA Cup qualification and luckier still to get a champs league one.

He can put in serious work, but that's not his best feature. If Wenger would seriously consider buying him, i would hope he does his homework, since, everyone else seems to see him as a defending replacement for Flamini. Big, BIG mistake by especially The Sun, but also every other British news-site. But i can say that he is one of the biggest Dutch talents around, he's defenitaly very promising, i'd say he's not much less then Ibrahim Afellay, or Samir Nasri. He IS NOT a defending midfielder, Spread the word!!!!!!!!

I am not insulting his skill or potential, it is just that Wenger stated he wanted experience...de Guzman is 20. I would love for him to join the team...making our starting midfield ages 21,21,20 and 19 (in case you dont know the names- Fabregas, Nasri, de Guzman, and Walcott respectively). That is by far the youngest midfield ever to play at a top notch club. But it only fits Arsenals system to have a U-21 starting team. I still vote Barry or Alonso above de Guzman just because of experience and we know exactly what we are getting. Maybe we should go for de Guzman in January or only if we can get him and Alonso and Barry. Arsenal are not seriously interested in de Guzman (if they are, that is depressing).
