Yes we have pressing needs but Arsenal have lost Arshavin and it's highly likely that Gervinho will go as well. Regardless of if you rate them or not, that's two players from the squad gone which now needs addressing.augie wrote:TheCook wrote:£20m does seem a lot to a middling team like Atletico Mineiro ; The same team we bought Gilberto from I think?
It's not necessarily a bad thing ; many have already decided he can't be any good as we have not heard of him?
Incorrect - what most have said, even those pro his signing, is that we have other far far more pressing needs than another small winger/playmaker and even stevie wonder can see the validity of that point. The 2nd point that you seem to have missed is that the fee is way too expensive for an unproven at the top level type of player - that is not the same as saying that he isnt good enough
Although I agree that we have more pressing needs (i.e. a striker. 'keeper and centre midfielder + back up centre back), I do think a creative player is pretty essential.augie wrote:TheCook wrote:£20m does seem a lot to a middling team like Atletico Mineiro ; The same team we bought Gilberto from I think?

I think you'll find they're all out of the question mate, as we play round 5 of our exciting new quiz - What the fuck goes on in Wenger's head?g88ner wrote:Although I agree that we have more pressing needs (i.e. a striker.

That said, at £21m (assuming it's true), that would suggest a big money striker AND midfielder is probably out of the question.
I guess we'll find out once the window closes.

He's by all accounts the best player in the Brazilian league now that Neymar has gone. Would you really say no to a player like this who has the potential to get even better seeing as he's only 20 years old?augie wrote:1989 wrote:"Unproven shit"Leyton Gooner wrote:Finally a believable story.

Clueless
In fairness buddy he is totally unproven - the guy has no european experience whatsoever and has only 5 international caps and no major finals experience. If that doesnt class as unproven then I dont know what does![]()
I think suggestions that we are using suarez to pressure real madrid over a deal for higuain is wishful thinking - you got to be thinking that higuain would be well pissed off at AFC's performance is these transfer negotiations and would be questioning how much they would really want him. In any case, the very second napoli entered the race for higuain's signiture such a plan should have gone up in smoke cos madrid would no longer feel pressure to reduce their demands. This saga has all the hallmarks of an AFC transfer balls up - IF we are/were keen on signing him then I feel that we will be the odd one out in this scenario as napoli get higuain, madrid get suarez, the victims get a cash injection to invest in hannibal replacements whilst we are in the same position that we currently are

I'm no Wenger fan, but the bloke seemingly can't win on here.
