Use our rumours form to send us arsenal transfer rumours.

That guy Takuma asano is touted as "the jaguar" due his pace and speed. The sort of player Ozil would love to play with. We could have a plan B for other games as Walcott has left us disgruntled.

He sounds more like a wrestler than a footballer lol.

Come on let's be real!
Evidently he's played 50 games and scored 10 goals since
2013. In the J. League too.
Hardly sounds like Arsenal material in the premier league does he? .
That must be a joke rumour surely?
I can't believe that Arsenal would be looking at a player of that calibre .
Eds please tell me it's a joke .

Lanesra I'm sure you're not alone with that opinion but come on are we not allowed to look at players for the future or for squad depth. if we'd signed Kante and mahrez last summer I bet you and others would've been criticising it because they wasn't well known enough or good enough statistically in their leagues.

Exactly Well said d16!we had most of our success with Wenger buying unknown players. if someone else signs him and he does well everyone will say why didn't we get him.

Anyone looked at Barbosa Stats? Stats aren't always what they seem as Olly keeps reminding us each season.

Great the dreaded player with potential

Can anyone honestly say where the big signing will come from .

This has all the hallmarks of a shirt sales in the Far East purchase.

Right so Banbury let's just say there's a 50 50 chance he could become world class. Shall we just leave him because our fans don't think he is ready made yet. Just because Wenger gets him does not mean that's the end of sticker search.

D16.
Hello mate.
No mate, to be honest I would have loved to have seen Mahrez at Arsenal Kante too.
I've already said many times ( not in here I may add ) that Mahrez to me looks like the perfect Arsenal player and Kante is the business too .
I would have Mahrez over loads of players mate to be truthful. Love to see him in an Arsenal shirt.

If Mahrez had joined us instead of Leicester there's nothing to say things would have worked out so well for him, right player at the right club at the right time imo.

Agree2 Disagree1

I agree it may not have worked out of course. Was more using it as an example that because he's unknown doesn't mean we shouldn't be signing him. Just shocks me people seem to be criticising a signing before he's signed or played. I have no problem signing young players with potential as well as looking for established players.

Agree D16 spot on me old mucca.

Theoretically the more you pay for a player the higher the chances of success but obviously as both Torres and Mahrez show it doesn't always work out that way.
But for every 1000 to 1 shot that wins a race there are a 1000 favorite's that are paid out on, but what ever the odds if you don't bother buying a ticket at all you have no chance of winning at all as we found out last summer.

Every world class player started as a young unknown player with potential.

Maybe I wasn't explaining myself properly.
Surely we should be prioritising our search for players that we need now and not making such a big deal about the ones we may need a few years down the line at the moment.
Haven't we been down that road time and time again. It's now! that we need to strengthen up.
Maybe I've got it all wrong!?

Agree0 Disagree4

01 Jul 2016 10:18:49
Maybe I'm just not getting you lanesra haha! I'm sure we've got enough scouts to be searching for ready made and the next big thing! And to be fair you say not making such a big deal it's us fans making a big deal out of this. Someone's clearly said look at him he looks promising and arsenes interested and bid. Not like he's come out and said hey Arsenal fans this is the forward I'm going to buy have a Moan lol.

Hola amigos

I have been told lukaku is not going to happen

We are not interested.

Sweet we are signing Lukaku!
Thanks Malaga.

01 Jul 2016 00:10:08
I'm 80% sure than 67.34% of Malaga's rumours make up for 14% of the fun we have on this site and could be as high as 23% for some people.

Eds, are Madrid willing to listen to offers for varane as reported today? If so, in your opinion would he rather work with mourinho again, or play alongside koscielny with the World Cup in mind?

{Ed001's Note - I am not sure how this is relevant to Arsenal, unless you are wondering if Madrid are going to buy Koscielny?}
