Sao Paulo ready to send Denilson packing

According to a report in the Brazilian media, Sao Paulo now have no interest in keeping Denilson on a permanent basis once his loan ends at the end of June meaning Arsenal will have to source another buyer if they are to offload the midfielder this summer.

Despite earning regular game time, estadao.com.br claim that a recent drop in form (comedy own goal anyone?) and an untimely and unseemly spat with a fan via social media will cost Denilson the chance to strut his stuff at the Morumbi in the long-term.

The 25-year-old initially returned to his former club on a temporary basis ahead of the 2011/12 season before being granted an extension for the length of this term after impressing during last year’s Sao Paulo’s Copa Sudamerica triumph.

As recently as January Sao Paulo spoke positively about keeping Denilson with vice-president Paulo de Jesus Lopes stating:

“I believe we’ll reach an agreement with Arsenal. We have heard from Denilson that he doesn’t want to return to England, that he wants to stay here with us.

“I think our relations with Arsenal will help that to happen.”

The player himself also talked about the potential deal in February claiming that talks had already begun.

“We are talking slowly. I have a quiet mind as I feel the confidence of São Paulo in me. I believe that we can get it right, but I prefer to focus on the matches.

“Lets leave the contract to my lawyer to resolve with São Paulo.”

Alas, highlighting three main reasons for not pushing forward with the deal, Estadao’s report first claims the player has lost the trust of the management due to a lack of effort before citing Arsenal’s £7 million asking price and alternative midfield options as key factors in Sao Paulo’s change of tack.

The article maintains that Sao Paulo, presumably out of respect for the player, won’t speak publicly of their desire to return Denilson to North London until his contract ends on 30 June.

Amazingly, having signed a new deal at Arsenal in September 2009, our crab-like DM still has another year left on his contract at the Emirates. He’s not played for us since May 2011 but with one last chance to get a fee for him this summer Arseblog News suggests Ivan Gazidis and Dick Law start sending YouTube links and highlight DVDs to as many clubs as possible…

It’s either that or we accept he’s going to be paraded as Diaby’s replacement.

“It’s either that or we accept he’s going to be paraded as Diaby’s replacement.”

An “internal solution”? Well Arsenal do need proven “winners” like Denil.. no can’t finish that sentence. Isn’t there a Russian team with more money then sense we can flog him too?

ChrisM

Wow, it’s like a new signing, but a new signing from South America! They’re the best kind of like a new signings.

Master Bates

To be fair he can’t do a bad job replacing Diaby , Who I think is a top player but with his injury record ,Any player is good enough to replace him

Arsenal Rising

You dick!

gunnerjoe

Give it a rest fool.

Nognir

We can always sell him to QPR.

David

Yippee same same same old cue bendntner to walk in with him diaby him chamakh djroyu will be fighting it out for squad gear next season as Ivan will be saving money on track suits but paying these millions!

Reality check

didn’t know you wanted a track suit from Ivan so badly

Youssef

Please dont lump Djourou with the rest of this bunch

sickx

I believe he should get another chance in our midfield.

Oh wait. April’s fool is over.

Heh

If he can’t do a job good enough in the brazillian league I don’t see him improving our team in any way. That should be the criteria. We have Le coq thankyou.

Herold goon

After seeing him play recently I think he should be on left side………..of the bench…………of f.c pirates………..in South Africa.

the chosen one

Dont disrespect Pirates like that. Up the bucs!!! Viva South Africa. The standard of our league is improving rapidly thank you very much

davo57

Great news. Denilson on his way back. With Santos returning our defence will be rock solid. Now that Vella , Bendtner Chamak and Park are also returning next season looks very positive. Factor in Diaby’s long term injury and Wilshire, Rosicky and Gibb’s recurring injuries we look strong for the Premiership and ECL double next season.

Gearoid Kelly

Vela was sold, not loaned. But, apparently, we do have a buy-back clause.

Ashburton Groover

and Vela is quoted as saying he’d rather cut his legs off than come back!

Clockendrider

I agree with him. I’d rather he had his legs cut off than come back.

HungarianGooner

Hell naaaaaawwwwwww.Bring back Vela instead.

Lasagna

Oh boy, our summer business is allready done and dusted. Bendtner AND denilson to return, and with chamakh to return from the hammers (which I assume he will….) we are all settled for settled for the next season…….

Ivan Drago

So Denilson, Squillaci, Bendtner, Santos, Chamakh, Chuyoung and Arshavin all need to be shipped off this summer, or are any of their contracts up?

Squillaci

Mine will be up this summer *sobs*

lockednloaded

squid and arshavin won’t be back next year

Emannuel Eboue

Squillaci, Chamakh and Arshavin’s contracts are up. TGSTL has a year so does Denilson. Denilson may see his contract terminated along with Park. The great Dane may be picked up by someone. I think.

dutchgunner

I thought Chamakh still has one year remaining on his contract.

Leftbackinthedressingroom

The only ones interested in picking up Nik Bendtner are the Old Bill in Denmark- with or without alcohol and driving license!!

Judith Le'Strange

I hope he never comes back to Arsenal, he was never much good and as a replacement for Diaby you have to be joking, we have enough dead wood that we can’t get rid off let alone bring another one back and if Wenger has any sense he won’t consider the move.

Breezy

“Arseblog News suggests Ivan Gazidis and Dick Law start sending YouTube links and highlight DVDs to as many clubs as possible”

or alternatively, they should prepare the “Michael Owen Broucher”- that seemed to prolong Owen’s career a good few years and the Arseblog version for Adebayor convinced City to part with 20M+.

A tried and tested method that yields results!!!!!

Master Bates

lol , Please make the ‘Denilson brochure’

-He averages 120% pass completion
-He is better than Gilberto Silva(in his mind)

Rob'67

Yet another example – as if one were needed – of Wenger’s insane contract policy, which is based on the assumption that if you pay Pires wages you get Pires performances !

Wenger too has one year left on his contract and there’d be a certain justice to it, if he Bendtner and Denielson all departed together.

Dylan

I think his contact might be up at the end of this year anyway so if we cant flog him at least he’ll be gone

Lec

Funny enough Bendtner gets picked up nowadays. After a night out with friends his mum/siz/missus come for him.

Niklas bendtner is without a license.

Tiny

Please tell me that the original report this came from was published yesterday, and that they celebrate April Fools Day in Brazil too…?

Leandro

We do celebrate April’s Fools. Sadly, being a Sao Paulo supporter as well as a Gunner, I can confirm the news…

Zeddington

If true, I find it amazing that we have the audacity to ask for 7m for him. Everyone in the world knows he’s not worth nearly that much. Honestly, we should offer him for free – or a token fee of 1m at best – just to avoid having him come back.

arseblog

I doubt we’re looking for anywhere near that much

Zeddington

It does sound rather unbelievable.

Eboue's Perfectly chiseled Balls

No

GoonerEris

It is about the fee and asking salary. São Paulo should be keen to keep him as he has been a regular starter for them. I believe the management of the Brazilian side are stone walling for a good deal; the story goes that we even subsidize his salary as part of the loan deal, which suggests the club is unable to foot the fat wages Arsenal have put him on. Denilson can still be a good DM for some mid table sides though.

Malaysian Gooner

Weird. This DM has quotes of Denison saying his contract runs out this summer.

The fact that you quoted DM tells you everything.

Even youtube cannot save Denilson. His videos stop playing forward after 20 seconds.

Ren Vassilliou

Get him back quick, Stooooooooooooooop right there wenger ……………….. why bring him back when he is so happy at home with his family ,buy out his contract and let him go even on a free …

HitsMan

We need someone to stand at the airport and put him in a taxi with Bendtner being the driver. That should end their contracts one way or another.

Nii

nasri is a lie. as a good player like u, u cant be in a team with one year contract whiles u want to run down ur contract he dont want to sign a new contract he want to be free agent it impossible the board beside to sell him to get a good money from him that is good business it not the fault of the board but it the fault of nasri is he should have sign a new contract without asking for more money he will have stay at arsenal

ARSENE WENGER

I’m worried they ring even sign me up next year 🙁

ARSENE WENGER

Won’t * maybe they were right I am going senile

gunnerjoe

Maybe you are if you think your Wenger

Ugandan Gooner

Personally i think he should be brought back. Would be a great addition…..to the bench during training sessions along with Squid.

Lec

Would be a huge step back if we took him. Can we like wipe off his memory and send him to a cotton factory in brazil.

[…] there’s good news for Denilson fans, he could be coming back! Sau Paulo no longer want him because Arsenal are asking too much and he had a run in with a fan […]

[…] 另外还有一个好消息送给关心德尼尔森的球迷,他可能要回来了!圣保罗不再想续约,说是因为阿森纳狮子大开口,再加上小德子自己和球迷有摩擦什么的。但现实情况是,就像其他许多球员一样,德尼尔森在阿森纳以及巴西的这个夏天都发过光发过热,但与其他俱乐部相比,阿森纳更得快刀斩乱麻,尽快将这些球员卖给别的俱乐部。如果我们需要双手奉上金元银元才能摆脱这种三角恋,让球员彻底收拾铺盖走人的话,我建议该花的钱还是赶快花吧。 […]

I’m going to be a little contraversial here but i’d quiet like to see Denilson back. Always thought he looked very good when he first joined but thought he was a victim of Wengers policy of shoe horning youth into the team. Denilson is not, has not and never will be a defensive midfielder, he needs to play along side one. I’d quiet like to see a few of the players who were part of Wengers youth policy who have been out on loan back, as i never thought they were short of talent but experience.

Sam

Methinks its about price for Sao Paolo. What’s the Brazilian equivalent of a BOGOF?
