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.

It's been nice knowing you mate! Does anyone seriously believe we are going to pay €25m for one player? :twisted:

They seem convinced he's ours (decent pun effort too :-P)
Do they? - Tuttosport are just relying on the Daily Mail, aren't they?

I know all these foreign articles make it seem like the news it everywhere, but they're all quoting the Daily Mail as the source... so that's the only article worth linking to, surely? :o then you have to ask whether the Daily Mail is a reliable source or whether they're just putting bells and whistles on an old story even though no more information is actually available? :?
Listen matey, it's not only the daily fail reporting it. The two biggest Madrid papers (AS and Marca) are running with it too.

Put aside all this needless cynicism. It's going to happen. Get excited.
I'm 100% sure it will happen and if it doesn't I promise never to post on here again.

Better hope it does otherwise not only would Higuain not come, but I won't be seen on here again and that surely is a far bigger disaster. :-P


I thought that jovetic was the player you wanted us to sign ? :?

It's not needless cynicism, it's just pointing out that there does appear to be a tornado effect going on in the media, with articles being picked up, churned and swirled around and then spat out in a slightly different configuration than they started, even though there's no tangible signs of any actual progress.

Not saying it won't happen at some point, but I'm not convinced many (if any!) of these articles have any hard evidence to go on before adding bells and whistles to increase traffic to their websites.

Anyway, I hope you're right - I'd love Higuain to sign, and of course it would be disaster if we lost your contributions to the forum as well :roll: :wink: - that double whammy would be hard to take :( :roll: :lol:

I'm sure we'll get Higgy. The thing is, despite the doubt about how much we'd pay for a player, I do think that Wenger's hand was forced into high priced buy's.

It wouldn't surprise me that much if the Board gave Wenger a list of quality players and said you HAVE to pick one or two.

Until he is pictured on a pub on the blackstock road ala Per 3/4 years ago then I am not going to believe it.
