IF this is true, probably out the race for Jovetic?

Thats on way to waste money. How is he worth that much?
Agree0

Noo! We already have a Giroud. We don't need another.
Agree0

He's worth more than that to us. No way we'd consider selling for that much. {Ed027's Note - You say it like it's your decision
Agree0

So is it Benteke, Jovetic or Higuain who is our primary striker target? Surely Wenger wouldn't splash out on more than one.
Agree0

Catergorically no!

His not worth that much what so ever
Agree0

I don't know where your numbers are coming from, but I don't see Benteke costing more than 10-12 mil
Agree1

Rate him highly, £18 million would not be too much!

Are ye mad. Benteke has 19 PL goals this season, can score from the head or feet, strong, powerful and knows how to play in the premier league. A far better player than Giroud and Higuain.
To compete with city, utd and chelsea 23m should be peanuts
Agree0
Disagree0
Why would Arsenal offer £2M more when the Villa Boss has said he'll consider £21M?
Agree0
Disagree0
Benteke is 10x the player Giroud is and will ever be in the premiership! I'd pay £20m no problem.
Agree0

Better than higuain? Haha what a joke. Yes his done well scoring goals this season but so has giroud. If we spent 20 mill We would only spend 20 mill on a very special player, a proven player. Benteke has had a good season but still.
If we could get higuain for 20mill that would be crazy he is proven world class quality. His goal record in La liga is amazingly Nd let's be fair you do well in la liga you do well here, Can't see us getting him though
Agree0

Why do people get carried away with the hype. Has Benteke been scoring for fun in the premiership for the last five years and I havn't noticed. To say he is better than Higuain and Giroud is farcical. I heave seen him play well but also visited Villa Park not so long ago and he was truly awful, poor touch, couldn't hold the ball up, didn't move, and worse of all offside all the time. The Villa fans were slating him. May have potential and goals wise done well but he will be no world beater
Agree1
Disagree0
Ok please understand Higuain when it comes to scoring goals is phenomenal! His record speaks for itself if you doubt his ability wonder maybe why he was signed for Real Madrid and have a look at the goals he has scored. As for Benteke he is a quality player that's there for all to see bbut he is not world class and Higuain is full stop.

So just because benteke scored 19 goals this season it makes him better than giroud who has 17 for the season so far with 1 game to go, give the bloke a chance or all them years ago was you all calling for henry to be sold because he got outscored for a season?
Agree0
Disagree0
Please stop comparing giroud to benteke. giroud has 11 BPL goals (17 overall). whereas benteke has 19 BPL goals (23 overall)
also consider benteke has played less games and was playing for a team near the bottom of the league all season, with less chances created etc. benteke >> giroud.
having said all that, i'd rather have Higuain. But i'd still be happy if we replaced giroud with benteke. The fact that they are similar style players means benteke won't be coming, sorry.

The season 2013/2014 is going to be Wengers final season in football. He will move up to board of directors after that season.
Wenger wants to leave a legacy and has convinced the board to spend this summer.
Wenger wants
Cesc Fabregas - negotions in early stages
Stevan Jovetic - done
Gonzalo Higuain - done
Victor Mugabe Wanyama - negoations in early stages
Rui Patricio - negoations ongoing
In fact I have been told that he will be allowed to get all 5 of them if possible. Money is not relevant.

Malaga Gooner. welcome back you've been missed. lol

Why does no one ever give a source?

I sincerely wish your info is even semi-accurate. Me, I would settle for 2 out of 5, if they were Wanyama and Higuain.

I believe this fully and it makes sense. Hopefully all players will be Arsenal players by next season with our mediocre players on the exit from our club.

@ PdotY, Because they have inside information and their source would wish to remain anonymous, or they don't have a source they scout newspapers and make assumptions.

All guesswork. Time waster. The welcome back Malaga tickled me though!

As am a scottish gooner I have seen a lot of wanyama this season and feel as though he would be a great signing especially for Wilshere as he'd let him push up field a lot more as wanyama defensive minded

I have to agree. This post looks believable.

They're conceivable ideas and transfer targets that could well be true but as always say we'll see.
Agree0

I don't think Wenger will go soon. now he has essentially low competitions with instability at Chelsea, City and Utd and spurs falling over themselves again. I think he will try to win now.
Agree0

Looks like a wishlist to me. If only this were true. Come on you gooners!
Agree0
Disagree0
I think if he were to get these players wenger would like to win one last trophy before retiring

Forget wanyama he's a good pub player at best. plays for a little team with no support.

Stop torturing yourselves - Rooney will go to Chelsea and the Arsenal rumour is part of the bargaining strategy.

Wenger has said he is coy on the rumour

Rooney won't leave man utd {Ed027's Note - If Utd fall for the same trick twice, they'll look very stupid

Wenger hasn't ruled it out and Arsenal are looking at Marquee signings upfront now not Wilfred Bony, Remy but Higuain, Dzeko, Rooney, Lewandoski and Jovetic.
Please remember I said looking meaning that's the type of player they want not they will sign Lewandowski or Rooney indefinably!
Agree0

Rooney's wages are so high there is only 4 clubs in the world that can afford them and arsenal are not one of them
Agree0

Wenger coy. Wenger not willing to talk about it.
What he actually said was he was not willing to talk about ANY potential transfer target at yesterday's press conference. Two important games are his most pressing priority, but let's not spoil a rumour. especially if it pleases the Manchester United fans.

Falcao to Chelsea so I think this could happen for us. I hope so!
