To say we were not in for Higuain is bollocks ,we were ,and we agreed terms with him too subject to price .
At the time Juve and us were in for him but when Juve pulled out by signing Trevez we started to low ball Madrid who had originally asked for 27 million Euros.
In the meantime things were changing in the markets and Napoli simply went and got him at an increased number.

If I were the agent of any of the top quality strikers previously listed, I would want them to sit tight to after the world cup and see if that competition has saw their valuation rocket, rather than move now.
But of course players flop at the world cup too and that could see a dream move disappear!! Bottom line is, an agent will always want a player to move as he (the agent) will make a shed load of wonga out of it. A player will virtually always want to move for more money (a lot more) and to play for a 'bigger' club.
If Arsenal made a big enough bid for Costa I think he would move......but it's not going to happen because Arsey Wonga will NOT spend the money. The very best Gooners can hope for is a past it, waste of space. This is most likely going to be Kalou, with the outside possibility of Berbatov. This is Arsenal guys......stop dreaming of more than one big signing in the decade!! :lol:

Wenger's MO is to see how long he can get away with it.

So I wouldn't expect to see anyone of note coming in.

Have I completely lost my marbles when I fully believe we are going to sign a striker this month? I'm starting to seriously worry about myself.
