Renewed interest in Navas?

Leprechaun_9 · Post by **Leprechaun_9** » Fri Jul 20, 2007 9:59 pm

Recent speculation has again linked us to the signing of young Sevilla winger Jesus Navas. Wenger is known as a long time admirer of Navas and was linked in the previous January transfer window to a double transfer for himself and fellow team player Puerta. Whilst I am wary of these rumours, there seems to be a trend that Arsenal track a player for a long period before buying, and as such this may have more substance...(as opposed to Placio rumour!). Has anybody any thoughts on this???

Just look at his name, I'd imagine weather wouldn't be much of a problem if he doesn't want it to be.

He would probably end up being another Reyes!!

He has a similar back-ground to our ex-player and even plays in the same manner. Very slight of body and easily disposessed.

As with Jose, I think he might find the Premiership a bit too 'physical' for his liking.

Not great at Spanish but does Reyes not mean King and now some bloke called Jesus is linked

I know at times we cry out for divine intervention but this is taking the piss

Ah but he might turn all our water into wine.

So when it's peeing it down we can all get pissed!

I say bring him in and let it rain!!

So are we saying here that we can swap girly mummys boy Reyes for a good winger who is a biblical leader of men as well as being a walking vinyard?

Do it! Do it now!

God indeed is a Gooner!

Can't see it myself (as opposed to i did not see it).

I think he's fairly settled on his midfield. With Cesc, Gilberto, Rosicky & RVP / Theo. I personally still feel that we're a million miles away from what i consider the best Arsenal midfield in a long time of; Overmars, Petit, Vieira, Pires. I think we need some mid field steel. No disrespect to either Gilberto or the amazing Fabregas. I just think we look more balanced with a flat mid field as opposed to playing Gilberto slightly behind the midfield. (just my opinion).

I agree with you about the midfield thats why Arsene brought in Diaby, so hopfully he can really have a good season and prove himself to Arsene and the fans, i'm not sure he can be as good as PV but hopefully as he gets older he gets better, i think Arsenal need a new Marc Overmars he was something special i'm just not sure who there is thats as good as he was back in the day, i still think Matty Taylor from portsmouth would be a good buy but i don't see it happening

A_A_1886, you aren't by any chance Taylor trying to give yourself a rap on here so an arsenal scout notices you are you?

It just all the mentions of him...

But seriously, I'm Frank Lampard, I posted things about myself and how good I was on all the good Arsenal sites so Chelsea would see it and thinking that if Arsenal wanted me then I must be good, they bought me.

That's their problem as long as I get the money

That's good work Frank. I hope it all works out for you. You really should ask Jamie Redknapp to mention more often in the Sky games that you're is cousin.

I don't recall Overmars and Pires playing in the same side.

Indeed, wasn't Pires bought in the summer of 2000 to replace Overmars who had gone to Barcelona?

However, had Pires played on our right-hand side with Overmars left and the Petit/Vieira axis in the centre, it would have been a fantastic midfield quartet and Arsenal would most probably have been even more successful.
