Arsenal Thread

We don't know what's going on, I agree. But we just connect the dots with what we've got. I think it's fair to say Arsenal were quite interested in Jovetic. So we are throwing bids of around 23m for Higuain, 30m for Suarez... City landed Jovetic for 22m.
Take your own conclusions.

Signing Jovetic would have certainly appeased the fans, not only that, he's a top talent, I really rate him.

Whether or not he's an out and out striker (if that's what Wenger really is after, that is) I think it's a real pitty we missed out on him. That guy is one for the here and now, as well as for the future, many years to come.

Now between Higuain and Suarez I don't know what I'd prefer. Higuain for 23m pounds would already be a lot of money IMO. A striker which (in my biased opinion) isn't all that. He has great stats, but he never really 'wowed' me.
23m would be feasible I guess, but Madrid asking 37m euros is outrageous. They're pricing him out really.
Whereas Suarez is proven Premier League material, proved he can bang 20+ league goals in a season, hence the higher price. Not to mention I think he's a better all round player than Higuain. No adaptation required, however there's all the negative baggage.

With City stocking up on strikers, I'd go for Dzeko if I were Wenger. He's been a target in the past, plus he is another player who wouldn't have to adapt to the Prem.

Whoever it may be, Arsenal must do their stuff faster.
 
I think Wenger is holding on to his cards, maybe a late rumor was floating about. I , also think Higuain agreed to some terms of maybe 120k-150k (w/ Arsenal) and no other clubs is offering him that. RM are holding on as well to see what players in what area are available to swoop down like a Hawk!

Suarez seem a good call ,but I really can`t see it. Jovetic went for 22m and they supposedly told us 27m. Either way Wenger is holding on for something.
 
Yes, because we are in fact going to reveal the signing of superstar Spanish striker Inco Pentance.

It's like going to the market with money and intent to buying a Jager, but the next day your head hearts from an almost French cheap wine.
 
Read a tweet by samuelj29060

Arsenal will submit their second offer (£41m) for Luis Suárez on Monday . That is crazy !
 
I'd have thought Benzema would've been a much better fit, easily the sort of rough diamond that Wenger would have bought a decade back and turned into a world-class star (Henry, Pires, Vieira etc.).
 
Apparently, Napoli and Rafa are trying to loan Pepe Reine. So, Julio Cesar is up for grabs. The only other team linked is AC Milan. Let's get him already...

I will continue to hope for Higuain until the deal with Napoli is 100% done. I think he is our best option for buying a top striker. If we miss out, I doubt we'd land anybody else top class. Villa and Jovetic are already gone.

Also, I hope we make a move for a midfielder as well.

No speculation coming towards Arsenal. I'm sure we will buy, but I fear there will be no quality players left come August.

I don't think Real are willing to offload Karim and I can understand why. Benzema is the forward they want to keep hold of.

If Napoli are paying $37M for Higuain, they can have him. He's a good clinical striker but not worth that much! I do think he'll do better in Italy than in England though so as a neutral I'm more happy to see that move as I think it'll work better for the player and the club.
 
I was amazed with his passing in the final 3rd. If he keeps his feet on the ground he might have a brilliant future ahead.

Just like a new signing huh? We can't have Fella, but we already have Zela :P
 
£4.000.001m ? really wenger , of course Liverpool rejected this , it looks like a joke giving £1 like that

rise for £10-15 mln and maybe you can have him not a damn £1

It is actually 40.000.001 Valon (but i guess you knew that and made a typo).
Like aitken said in the Liverpool thread: Liverpool are stupid to refuse that bid, there aren't many clubs who are prepared to do a 40.000.000 bid for a player that is out for 10 or more matches every season for unfair behaviour (in England it will only get worse).

As a matter of fact (i'm sorry Arsenal fans, but that is my honest opinion) IMO it's Arsenal who are stupid to be prepared to give 40.000.000 for Suarez. I would go for another (less controversial) striker...
 
yeah sorry missed one 0 , wow what a difference it can make :D

and now this is hilarious :LMAO:

like who?Who can we go for?
 
Please don't do it, but the first one that comes to my mind is Soldado.
It wasn't exactly a secret that Gomez would not stay in Munich, he went to Fiorentina...what does Fiorentina have more than Arsenal ? Higuain and Napoli: same story.

And now i am talking about big names, in the past Arsenal unearthed unknown gems that turned out to be come very good players...there must be relatively unknown forwards that are good enough.

I will give you one example from Belgium (because obviously that is the league i know best): Jelle Vossen from Racing Genk. He is a goal machine for 3 or 4 seasons now, not only in Belgium but also in Europe... Another Dutch example who played in Belgium last season, but is back in Holland now: Glynor Plet. He also scored quite regularly in last year's Euro League...

Are those players the right kind of player for Arsenal ? Perhaps not, but why not search for players who will become stars...Look at the Spanish clubs with the (relative) exception of both classico clubs, all the other teams are cash strapped...there must be other Michu's out there...
