SUMMER TRANSFERS - Your thoughts on who did and did not sign

As we're unlikely to see terraces again at football, this is the virtual equivalent where you can chat to your hearts content about all football matters and, obviously, Arsenal in particular. This forum encourages all Gooners to visit and contribute so please keep it respectful, clean and topical.

buy him AND Higuain
Tevez is on like 300k a week after tax, hates England and has flirted with early retirement in his career.

I think we should pass.

Can I ask a stupid question? (no change there then)

If this Higuain chap is so good, why aren't Madrid moving heaven and earth to keep him?! Or is it just a similar situation to RVP?

It's a bit of an odd situation without a manager - how do you think he'd react if the chairman told him he can't leave after he announced he would be going this summer?

Presumably it's a combination of him being pissed off about his role in the team the last few seasons and probably scepticism that the situation would improve regardless of who is brought in as manager.

1. Madrid are trying to generate sizeable transfer funds for their incoming manager

2. Higuain wants to leave

3. They have benzema

4. They have a portugese ladyboy who now plays up front or off the main striker

People can debate whether higuain is suited to our game or indeed suited to the english game but one thing they shouldnt be in any doubt of is his quality cos he is top quality. If I'm honest I am not convinced that he will fit seemlessly into our team in it's current guise and he may well be another striker better suited to a 4-4-2 system but I could be wrong on that. Personally I would much rather we signed david villa - yes I know that age is against him but imo villa brings more of the nippy goalpoaching skills that I believe we need.

IF we signed higuain then I'm sure that many will laud it as a statement of intent - yes it would be a big signing for the club but on it's own it will do fcuk all. We have fallen so far now that we need at least another two top quality players to join before we can be classed as genuine challengers again and I would be amazed if we signed two top quality players much less 3 or 4 of them (one might even be nothing more than a pipe dream :( ).
