Arsenal are interested in Ganso as they believe they have a small chance of getting Belhanda. Only Intrest though, no enquiry. Fee stumbling block.

NW

I never believe you anymore NW, you dont seem to have any actual real source, just seem to claim what everyone else is saying or guess horribly wrong.

That's fine mate. You don't need to believe me.

NW

Him not wanting to play in England will be a bigger stumbling block.

Sources tell me that Arsenal have agreed a fee with Santos for Ganso, but wages are becoming a bit of an issue, with other clubs offering significantly more.

Why are Arsenal close to signing Ganso? We Already have Arteta, Wilshere, Ramsey, Song and Rosicky for ACMs..
Please enlighten me :)

Elliott

Why don't you ask your sources?

G95

Wilshere arteta ramsey and song are not acm's thats more than likely why... plus ganso is better ?

We aren't signing Ganso.

We just aren't.

Ganso has already said that he wants to go to AC Milan or Inter,or one of the top spanish clubs,and is not interested in a move to the PL.I think his agent has spread the word,to see if anyone comes in for him.
This does sound very similar to the M'Vila rumours a few weeks ago.

So we can ditch the overrated liability that is Song. Ramsey had the chance to cement his place as ACM but didn't take it and Rosicky is coming to near the end of his career. An attacking creative central midfielder is priority.

Arteta---Wilshere
------Ganso----

The above midfield trio would be smartest and most technically gifted midfield trio in the league.

Luke M

Song is not an attacking mid!

^
but song isnt a liability

JW.19

Ditch song when last season he was a class above the other midfielders he and RVP had a great connection, hes a must hold on to player.

Ganso is absolutely brilliant sign him up !!!1

There's an interesting article about Ganso on espn's soccernet. Says that he doesn't fair well against agressive pressing and opposition who are good at shrinking spaces.. And that he has had a lot of injury problems. I don't think we're in for him. Although he's probably much cheaper than Oscar, Neymar...

Willl not happen, ganso is part owned and arsene would never sign a player who is!! he has stated many times.

Sometimes i feel sick with AW and start to hate arsenal because of the stupid policy he pratice but then i realize we should have our principal in live even the principal is hard to swallow.

The guy who posted this answered his own question?
Rosicky had 1 ok season now its time for him to go! Ramsey had a bad season and is not good enough!
Wilshere will not be fully fit until October! New quality midfielder required!!

Signing Ganso would kill Chuks Aneke ;)

Stezza.

Ramsey isnt Arsenal standard, Song and Arteta are more defensive, so a quality player like Ganso would be perfect :D

44 unbelievables, is that a record?

Ganso is quality, ...but with all the disappointment I ...NO! ...WE, have endured these past few years, I just can't see him in an Arsenal shirt. Let's hope I'm wrong, eh!

The Ganso rumour is really gaining pace with rumours of 30mil.That would be a great signing ,guess we can dream that he changes his mind on life in england,maybe santos could be a key!
paul

Ganso 30 mill no way mate

I would bet my life we wouldn't spend even £25million on one player, let alone £30million. No chance if you ask me. He doesn't wanna play in England, so of he did it would only because he couldn't get a club in Italy or Spain. So big potential there for a homesick flop, or another player that would run down his contract and go to Spain/Italy for a low or no fee.

Won't happen

rumours please
arsenal are in negotiations with juanfran and alvaro negredo. at least one of them should sign as it was reported that a member from spain's euro 2012 winning squad will sign for arsenal on monday. juanfran is a rightback/right midfielder for those that didn't know who he was and would cost around the £8 million mark and striker negredo the £15 million mark.

Ok, so not a snake, but just a money grabbing headcase, who is holding the club to ransom! I dont care who RVP wants to sign, he can decide all that when he becomes a manager, but for now let Arsene run the team...He aint too shabby you know.

what are u on about?

^^^ i think you replied to the wrong post. i think you mean the post beneath this

Being reported on one Arsenal related site about Ganso:

"Senior scouts are set to run the rule over the left footed player during the forthcoming Olympic games before making their move.

Arsenal have approached Santos, as well as the players' lawyer, but have not yet made an offer"

Arsenal NEVER make cheeky bids !

It is a possibility, he will not play for Santos again, he is moving. His wages are relatively affordable he wanted roughly 80k a week in GBP at Santos which is affordable.

Internacional could be the place if he stays in South America

CT

Come on Arsenal sign him up.

Isnt ganso 55% owned by a 3rd party?

i would have thought we would have steered well clear!

mac {Ed002's Note - DIS.}

I can't see us paying what was the rumoured asking price for Ganso last season which was 25-35m. However considering his injury problems of late and how public he has made it that he is determined to leave Santos should of seen that price dropped. I wouldn't rule us out of putting a bid between for 15m-19m.


Luke M

I'm pretty certain I read somewhere that his club are demanding his buy clause be met if Ganso is to be sold. I read his buy out clause is something crazy like £45m. Ed do you know if that's true? If it is there's no chance. I dnt see us even spending £30m on him. If this rumour is true I wouldn't expect anything to happen until deals are resolved for Bendtner, Arshavin, Chamakh and Vela which is all taking too long now {Ed002's Note - I would ignore talk of buy out clauses.}

Why are we trying to get m'vila when we've already got song? I think songs class.

So song can push forward more with wilshere and arteta while m'vila sits and protects the back four because song doesn't ant to do that

Do you read any posts or even watch arsenal? we want m'villa because song isnt and never will be a defensive minded midfielder. He would be so much better playing in the center as a playmaker kind of player. He's got pretty good eye for a pass

Adam

I like song but he's better going forward. Need a DM.

Song is a different type of player now. Since cesc and na$ri leaving he has become a more attacking and creative cm.

1. our defence badly needs a proper shield
2. song is 2 years away from running his contract down

Song has turned into a creator

Last year song had to adapt to create goals which previously would have came from samir nasri or cesc fabregas, it was very good of him to add this to his game and in my eyes is the complete midfeilder, can be defensive, as well as creative. However the problem lies when song goes forward no1 was there to protect the back, simply arteta is a poor tackler, and rosicky is rash at tackling, we missed wilshere then as he is very under-rated for his die hard attitude when it comes to getting back for tackles too. the fact arteta and rosicky are simply not up to the job is not song's fault in any way shape or form, he is a brilliant player and in my eyes the closest thing in the game to Viera, we need a new dm, to protect the back 4 when he goes forward, we need his very own gilberto silva, its the truth sadly. I dont mean to put arteta and rosicky down as they were both great for us last year but song was by far our best midfielder and im a little annoyed some 'Gunners' cant see he was in a catch 22 situation either way he'd have been slated and blamed.

You got it wrong mate - the team suffered with Arteta out because he was the only one who would cover song...team never wins without arteta and m'villa would give nice 3-an rotation. arteta 2nd mvp!

Before I get howled down by Song's vociferous fans, I'll admit some of his through passes that led to goals last season were excellent. However, we've got better and more consistent creative players than him and in his alleged role of defensive midfield he is woeful. if you don't agree just watch him for 90 minutes and count the number of simple short passes that go straight to the opposition. For a DM his ball retention and short passing just isn't good enough. Added to that, his tendency to haul/hack opposition players down on the edge of the box means he gives away too many free kicks in dangerous areas. THAT'S why we're in the market for a world class DM. (I say that more in hope than expectation, because I suspect AW would rather waste his limited transfer kitty on yet more generally attack minded midfielders who don't seem to have a specific position or defined role in the team.)

Yeah, your right Song is class but he's far to much of a box to box mid. Not disciplined enough for a consistant DM, which we have lacked for quite some time.

Ed is therer ANY truth in the ganso rumours?! {Ed002's Note - Please see earlier answers.}

14 Jul 2012 09:39:03
Ed do you have any news about rvp contract and any transfer news about arsenal? {Ed002's Note - I would still like to think he will stay next season but Arsenal do seem to now be looking to alternatives in Lopez and Negredo.)

14 Jul 2012 09:03:43
Apparently Ganso's club is willing to sell and the asking price is £16 million (hard to believe that low). If we have any chance I hope Arsenal throw all the RVP money for him. Would make a great CAM! Im sure United or City or Chelsea will out bid us just so we cant have him...but would hope we have a small chance. But with lucas Moura's club not will to sell him, ill bet United and others will now look at Ganso.

Eds, do Arsenal have any hope, reports r we registered interest in him with his club? {Ed002's Note - See other answers, I have provided an update.}

£16m sounds about right.Maybe less.He`s young and has potential but he's not the finished article.Seen him play a few times for santos, dont think hes all that, although he would fit into the arsenal mould quite nicely linking up the play
