Arsenal duo Carlos Vela and Aaron Ramsey have been penciled in to make their first appearances in a Gunners shirt against Italian side Juventus during the Emirates Cup next month.
Vela only began his summer break last week, after scoring two goals in as many games during Mexico’s double header of qualifying fixtures for the 2010 World Cup. He has flown away to Cancun, where he will spend the next weeks enjoying a well earned rest, after an incredibly long season with relegation threatened Osasuna.
Carlos reportedly told the media two months ago he would be featuring during the Juventus match, as Arsenal look to defend the Emirates Cup in the two day event. The Gunners will be heading back to training next Monday, where new-boy Ramsey will meet up with his new team mates, however Vela will not be present due to his extended holiday.
News broke today that Ramsey will make his home debut in the Cup opener, and line up alongside some of the greatest players in world football. Arsenal face the “Old Lady” on day one, before a mouth watering clash against Real Madrid just 24 hours later.
Both players have been handed significant and important squad numbers, in 12 and 16 respectively, and look set to play a big part in Arsene Wenger’s plans during the coming season.

Cant wait for August to come around… Hope to see Nasri aswell in the same tournament.
Im going to that game aswell, Brilliant. Hopefully Nasri will make his debut aswell.
cmon vela!!!!!!!!!!! show us your mexican skills same with your french skills nasri. its about time we had skilful players.
This is a very interesting article : http://www.arsenalinsider.co.uk/arsenal-news/breaking-newsben-arfa-transfer-falls-could-this-mean-no-deal-for-arsenals-nasri/
Here is a **** quote:
I have now had it officially confirmed from a source in Marseille that the deal with Nasri WILL NOT be affected and the player will be released to Arsenal for July 1st. The source lends credence to the accounting theory that was released on Young Guns website that stated the transfer will take place on July 1st in the new accounting year with the agreement of Arsenal. The Source also indicates that the day that we announced Nasri (23rd June 2008) he had been an official Arsenal Player for two hours before the Marseille President obtained a deal with Arsenal football club to delay the financial transaction, hence the recent for the retractions and denials. The source was unable to explain why Arsenal Football club had not made that information available to our fans.
WTF?
Great news I hope we sign Bischoff and Nasri too.I think with additional defensive addition and a top striker to replace the greedy git from Togo Arsenal should be ready on all fronts.Ramsey looks good has immense talent and vela well he is going to take the premiership by storm
Vela looks like he should be out in San Francisco for the Mardi Gras parade wearing that top…
yipee! can’t wait!
this game still has not sold out. still on sale on Arsenal.com. I guess 2 games in as many days is a lot of money for a friendly. But its great that you can take the family and sit together AND watch some great teams play to boot. Really looking forward to seeing these 2 play. I want to learn more about what they can do.
As for Adebayor – I cant beleive barca want him. Is he a Barca type player? Has Henry had a hand in that? Barca are happy to pay £26m according to Guilleme Ballague. PLEASE TAKE HIM. I’ll drive him there myself for that much!!
We all knew the Ben Arfa thing didnt affect Arsenal, i dont know why they wrote that.
I and alot of other bloggers have been informed the deal will be announced either on, or shortly after July 1st, as Marseille would like the cash to go into next seasons accounts, and the year ends today.
The same reason is why Ben Arfa deal stalled.
Going back to Vela, isit just me or does he look like Ronaldo in that picture?
Haha J. you’re right!! He does look like him… I hope he’ll make the same physical inprovement Ronaldo made in the EPL.
Any news on the 7 foot Beckenbauer on speed yet?
Im goin to the Arsenal vs Real madrid game, should be great :)
I went last year aswell, anyone else?
July 1st 2moro :S
hahaha funny J I agree with you that vela resembles ronaldo in that pic. I hope nasri and maybe bischoffs signing is announced tommorow.
j will da nasri signing be confirmed 2moro?
“Any news on the 7 foot Beckenbauer on speed yet?”
We just signed him from Halifax for 2k for ur information.
hes only 6’9 thou…sry to dissapoint
Now that was funny!
Spike has finally calmed down :)
“Going back to Vela, isit just me or does he look like Ronaldo in that picture?”
Aye, very much so. Lets hope he plays like him but doesnt act like him, then we’ll have the worlds greatest player.
Cant wait to see him, it’ll be interesting to see Ramsey aswell, especially against that class of opponant with the first team. Is that an indication that he will be straight into the first team (i dont meen as a starter, although u never know) next season or am i reading too much into it?
There will be an interview with Nasri tomorrow.
Im going to both Emirates Cup games like i did last year :D
Spike you calmed down
Hoping the interview will be about how Nasri feels now that he is an official arsenal player ( tomorrow that is).
If you want proof, go on his website and go on the interviews bit
Can anyone tell be what’s like the Marsille tax system?
There are a new date, 2nd July.
“There are a new date, 2nd July.”
U mean they moved the ‘interview’ to the 2nd??
Attila, how do u know they moved the interview to 2nd july?
vela and ramsey are no good, we need proven players to win trophies. like santa cruz or tuncay, someone who is lethal infront of goal.
on nasri’s official website still says the 1st of july
Shuaib! The interview will be announced tomorrow, at least I hope.
(Because there are a sentence from Nasri’s website: En attendant une interview de Samir début juillet nous vous proposons un extrait de la conférence de presse d’Éric GERETS qui ne manque pas d’éloges. This means: ”
Pending an interview with Samir early July we offer an excerpt from the press conference Eric GERETS which is not short of praise.”
So, the admin didn’t mention the 1st July date again.
But I hope… the 2nd July is an another date to annonunce Samir.
But I have heard that the OM and the Arsenal didn’t announce Nasri because there are a tax-system in Marseille, and I don’t know what is the next reason. :DDD
Just cause they didnt mention the interview being 1st of July again doesnt mean there isnt going to be an interview 2moz why do they need to mention it again? Im sure it will all be sorted out 2moz an Nasri will be an Arsenal player…………. Finally.
When will nasri make his debut as their are 4 games before the emirates cup and while i can understand not using vela as he will not be in training for a while would these not be games for ramsey
oh shit yeah with the knuckles month thing july and august are 31st’s , yeah now i get it.
Nasri will be announced 2moro i have it on good authority. around 2 or 3pm.
when i first clicked on the article i thought..why is a picture of ronaldo on here.. lool
http://www.olweb.fr/index.php?lng=en&a=40071&pid=101002
We could battle for Ben Arfa also, but the primar target is Nasri. I hope the OM will leave him despite Ben Arfa won’t come to them.
If you needed any other comfirmation that Nasri will sign even Sir Alex has us down as signing him: ‘You expect Liverpool to buy players and Arsenal have shown their hand.
‘They have bought (Samir) Nasri [who is set to join from Marseille] and the young boy Aaron Ramsay so they obviously will be up there too. So I expect the same ones (to challenge).’ Quotes from: http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story?id=552736&sec=england&&cc=5739
Well, I am satisfied with Fergusson.
Tuesday or Wednesday will be our days.
See Nasri has joined sir red nose says so. now lets all stop worrying for goodness sake. Nasri will take number 8 shirt and be the best signing of the summer. mark my words i tell you.
atilla it will be tomorrow i have already said. do keep up please.
It is not on for nasri if arfa ben does not come nasri has Marseille can stay
“I am satisfied with Fergusson.”
Ill only be satisfied with Fergy when hes retired, I hate the Rangers wanker. Still cant believe Keano played for a Rangers man AND became each others fav people… Ill never be able to get my head round that.
“”vela and ramsey are no good, we need proven players to win trophies. like santa cruz or tuncay, someone who is lethal infront of goal.
Me said this on June 30, 2008 at 5:23 pm””
Well Vela is proven at Segunda Devision and La Liga level, plus he was the top scorer in the U17s world cup, and very few past top scorers in that tournament have gone on to have anything less than very bright careers. I agree about Ramsey but at 16 he can only get better and he was very good for Cardiff last season and that was at Championship level. I meen Walcott and Bale found their way to the Premiership by the same root and both are good at this level now (ok Bale isnt as proven as Walcott at Prem level but that due to injury, and he was very good before he picked that injury up).
Nasri is coming so Keep the faith.
Interesting that Fergie knew about Nasri as well, he is clearly keeping an eye on other peoples business.
And when he was talking about Ramsey.. must of been difficult knowing how close they were to getting him.
me! Okay, I am waiting for tomorrow XD.
Can’t wait to see vela play he looks quality
Hopefully nasri will be sorted out soon, growing tireless of the whole situation. Emirates cup is brilliant always has the best teams should be good.
Most of the global football economy knows about Nasri being in transit to Arsenal, so Fergie didn’t have to be Sherlock Holmes to work that one out!
ok, im guna have a long, long sleep (ive been awake for 34 hours believe it or not), and when i wake up Nasri will be an Arsenal player.
come on nasri! You will be welcome has the emirate com om guns!!! we’ll hall be champion!
good nite to all, hopfully we will wake up to the sound of a first class jet straight to heathrow. then a private cab to north london. hearing the fans chat arsenal, listen to the sound of pictures being taken by high definition cameras, and then go to then come online and see j.s confirm nasris arrival with photos on young guns. peace out my fellow suppoters.
i think vela looks facially like a cross between walcott and mido. he really does. lets hope he dosnt resemble the big egyptian in any other ways
Vela auditioning for a gay Rolf Harris lookalike job? He forgot his wobble board.
bah …. arrrrg…bbbaaahhh….
this is the absolute worst kept secret ever and i mean ever ,yet it somehow remains unofficial
its still unofficial ,ludicrous . everybody from Nasri to Papa to Ribery and Anelka even the grand twat Fergie announced it but not arsenal .nope,not one stitch from arsenal
cmon really ,there is playin it cool and being all sly and wily but there is also just being teasy and secrety (not real words but u get the point)and me no likey ,no likey one bit
Hmmmm news on Bischoff is up on sky sports. More from him saying that he has signed. And a quote from someone at werder saying how they wanted to keep him but he has decided to take up a new challenge.
PLEASE SIGN THIS… ITS A PETITION TO GET DAVID TO ARSENAL!!!!

Ramsey will make his debut before the Emirates Cup. He will probably take some part in the opening pre-season fixture against Barnet at Underhill. The Welsh newspaper site that you clearly read this story on actually meant that Ramsey will make his Emirates Stadium debut as an Arsenal player against the Italian giants, which will probably happen as a sub.
