This from the BBC...

Arsenal goalkeeper Manuel Almunia and striker Nicklas Bendtner are in talks with unnamed clubs over moves away from the Emirates.

Bendtner, 23, and Almunia, 34, were left out a 23-man squad that will travel to Asia for a pre-season tour.

An Arsenal spokesman confirmed this was so the pair could undertake negotiations over potential transfers.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is expected to clarify details over the impending moves at a press conference on Monday.

Please God let this be true!!

With Fulham, Borussia Dortmund and Sporting Lisbon interested in Bendtner and Atletico Madrid and Malaga leading the chase for Almunia, Wenger admitted their exits are only a matter of time.

He added: "Both are possible departures, they are talking to other clubs at the moment."

And on new Ivory Coast hitman Gervinho, Wenger said: "He has joined training today at London Colney, he has come back from holiday and signed.

"He had a medical on Thursday but we sent him back home because he has a family with children. It was so he has time to sort things out for two days.

"He came back yesterday and starts his fitness programme in London today. He is officially an Arsenal player now.

Ahahah Gervinho. Can't understand what Wenger sees in him. Sure he's a good player, his stats prove it, but Arsenal is a much better team than Lille and I clearly don't think he can make the gap.

I agree we should have signed Hazard, Mata and Benz by now but seeing him as a Bendtner replacement or pushing Chamakh down to replace Bendtner.. it looks like a good deal

Also I believe Wenger sees something in him.. his vision hasn't been great lately - signing players like Squillaci but if he sees the same thing he was in Henry and Gervinho can follow Henry's path.. I'll be one very happy Gooner!!

Enough of the talk about Sneidjer joining Man Utd. He's a very good player but I don't think he is the right guy for us, and for replacing Scholes. We need someone younger, and preferably english, so he won't go away after a couple of good seasons.

Arsenal is more like where is CB, LB and Striker assuming they are all fit come game day.

We need a LB and a CB and we're in business. Once our leaky defense is settled, we'll pose a bigger threat. We're fine with our attacking power.

And hopefully Nasri stays. I couldn't care less about Fabregas at this point. I love him but if we can get the money, I say sell him.

Then...gasp...maybe...Wenger will...buy!?

A bit of good news....

Denilson has expressed his ?sadness? at leaving Arsenal on loan.

After the 1-1 draw at Hangzhou Greentown on Saturday, Ars?ne Wenger confirmed that the Brazilian midfielder would be moving back home in a temporary transfer.

Reacting to the news, the 23-year-old told Arsenal.com: ?I will be playing in Brazil next season as I felt that this is a good opportunity for me to play regular first-team football.

Means for chances for Ramsey.. next do smth abt Diaby, Eboue and Almunia!

The man (Henry) himself, it turns out, is looking forward to the same: ?I had an amazing relationship with Arsenal supporters. A weird one, too, though. I know I can be a pain in the neck. And they knew that. But I think they understood me, even when I was a pain. They knew how I was. And I knew how they were feeling about me. Without those fans, I?d never have done what I did. The people who worked around the Club, too. They helped me understand what it meant to play for the Club. You know: what it meant to beat Tottenham!

"You need big shoulders to play for Arsenal. The cannon is heavy. But the supporters see everything. They see what you?re doing, what you?re trying to do. It?s a great thing about English fans. Winning helps but, if you play hard and respect the shirt, they remember that. And that?s something priceless for me.?

Something rare nowadays.. we need more players like him..

    • Copilot+ PCs are coming to desktop thanks to Intel's upcoming processors

      Another reason not to buy Intel. Like we haven't had enough of them already.
    • Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X with Snapdragon X is down to $499.99, a great deal for students

      Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X with Snapdragon X is down to $499.99, a great deal for students by Paul Hill Are you in the market for a new Copilot+ PC laptop that won’t demolish your bank balance? If so, check out the Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X, released earlier this year. It’s currently discounted by 26% down from $679.99 to $499.99. The Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X features a 15.3-inch WUXGA display, 16GB RAM, 512GB SSD, and the Qualcomm Snapdragon X processor. As part of this purchase, you’ll also get a complimentary 3 months of Xbox PC Game Pass. Please keep in mind that it’s the start of Amazon’s Prime Day event, which ironically lasts four days. You can get a Prime member trial, and with this laptop deal, your package will arrive faster. You’ll also be able to get Prime-only deals. To clarify, this laptop is not a Prime Day deal, but it is at its lowest price. As a Copilot+ PC, this Lenovo comes with an integrated Neural Processing Unit (NPU) that’s capable of 45 TOPS for on-device AI tasks. This means you’ll have access to features like Windows Recall that are limited to Copilot+ devices. The Snapdragon X chip also enables other AI features, including Copilot integration, enhanced Windows Studio Effects (background blurring, auto-framing, and portrait lighting), Live Captions with real-time translation, and AI-powered creativity tools like Paint Cocreator. The Snapdragon X processor should be fine for everyday tasks such as productivity and AI; however, this is not a gaming laptop or for heavy content creation like intense video editing. Lenovo also says that this laptop’s battery will last all day thanks to the processor’s efficiency, making it a good pick for students and remote workers. As a laptop with a long battery, there’s a good chance you’ll be lugging it around with you from place to place, so Lenovo has included premium durability with a military-grade MIL-STD 810H metal chassis. There is also a physical webcam shutter and fingerprint reader for more privacy and security, and if you need more storage, there’s an SSD slot that you can add additional storage to. In terms of ports, there are 2x USB-A, USB-C, an SD card slot, HDMI, and an audio jack. Lenovo IdeaPad Slim 3X: $499.99 (Amazon US) / MSRP $679.99 This Amazon deal is US-specific and not available in other regions unless specified.

    • Copilot+ PCs are coming to desktop thanks to Intel's upcoming processors

      By TarasBuria · Posted

      Copilot+ PCs are coming to desktop thanks to Intel's upcoming processors by Taras Buria Microsoft's Copilot+ PC initiative is now over one year old, but so far, it has only been available on tablets and laptops, with a couple of mini-PCs in between. However, it looks like Intel's next-generation desktop processors, codenamed Arrow Lake Refresh, will finally bring Copilot+ PC capabilities to desktop computers. The biggest requirement for a PC to support all Copilot+ PC features, such as Recall, Click to Do, Windows Studio Effects, and more, is a neural processing unit (NPU) capable of delivering at least 40 TOPS. Intel already has desktop chips with NPUs, but they provide fewer TOPS, which makes them ineligible for Copilot+ PC. That should change in the Arrow Lake Refresh generation. According to a recent report, the next Core Ultra series will feature the NPU 4 design borrowed from Intel's mobile processors that support Copilot+ PC features (Lunar Lake), making the new series the first desktop processor lineup in the Copilot+ PC program. For reference, AMD's latest mobile chips also have eligible NPUs, but the desktop processors are still "regular" in terms of Windows 11's AI capabilities. Besides a newer, more powerful NPU, Arrow Lake Refresh is expected to bring faster clocks to make Core Ultra desktop chips better at gaming. The Core Ultra 200 Series was disappointing in this regard, and AMD's X3D chips outperform Intel's latest offering on the gaming side. However, Arrow Lake Refresh is not expected to offer more processor or graphics cores. Instead, it will focus on improving AI workloads and general performance thanks to slightly higher clock speeds. Intel Arrow Lake Refresh is expected to launch later this year with the same LGA-1851 socket, which will then be replaced by the Nova Lake and its LGA-1954 socket.
