The transfer window officially opens tomorrow and the usual suspects are back dominating the headlines of possible signings for Arsenal.

According to the Goal.com, Barcelona’s Yaya Toure will leave the Spanish giants but not for the Gunners as he prefers to join Carlo Ancelotti’s Chelsea. He wouldn’t be the first player to opt for the Blues as also Shaun Wright-Phillips, Salomon Kalou and Michael Essien were all apparently being monitored by Arsene Wenger before they joined our rivals.

Always according to Goal.com, it seems Bolton Wanderers have set the fee for 24-year old centre back Gary Cahill: £14m. The Englishman is rated very highly and would partner Thomas Vermaelen at the back now that William Gallas look certain to leave.

And finally, yesterday’s results. Almost 1,500 votes with an impressive 54% wanting Joe Cole to leave Chelsea to join Arsenal for free. As for Lacina Traore, 22% would be be happy to see the strong striker be a Gunner but that’s very unlikely to happen.
