apparently according to the guardian arsenal have agreed personal terms with higuain on a 4 year deal worth £130,000 a week and hope to sign before pre season tour on July 11th

20 Jun 2013 20:23:15
The times states 115k. but this story is getting warm. every paper is covering it and Argentinian website is covering it say the times. This guy has a polific goalscoring record. km

Im not from the UK, bot i've heard that The times and The Guardian usually is pretty reliable, is it true? :)

Why before the 11 th of July why not in two or three days bet you we drag our heels and Chelsea or city steal him

Before the 11th due to the pre season tour. we would ideally want him on that tour, and also because while chelsea, madrid, city will be sniffing him as soon as the other targets fizzle out.

the list of most clubs should be

Suarez
Lewandowski
Cavani
rooney
tevez
dzeko
Higuain.
jovetic


for me only suarez is more potent in front of goal and is the overall package. but we are not getting him. so higuain will do fine.

Wouldn't it be nice for a change if Arsenal adopted a more proactive approach to transfer window P. R. for the benefit of their fans.
If terms have been agreed with the player and a fee with Real, why not tell the fans that, with a proviso that any contract should be finalised on 1/7/13. This would observe the legal niceties of the dates of the transfer window, but still keep their fans in the loop.
Chelsea, Villa and especially Liverpool have already announced signings and precious Barca have told the world and their granny about Neymar.

^^ What an personic idea. Yeah, tell the fans "with a proviso".

Because fans are so reasonable and rational when it comes to understanding acquiring players. I'm sure if the deal doesn't go through, the fans will accept they were told certain pre-conditions beforehand.

The club will tell everyone WHEN IT IS DONE. That is the only rational, non-nonsensical way to handle things.

I don't like something about this higuain deal. I can't help feeling that the idea that a wantaway surplus player and a generous widely reported offer is suspect while there is no official resolution. Arsenal do not like to crow about transfers before they are made and have traditionally run a tight ship on leaks of this sort. My gut feeling and I hope i'm wrong is that Real are floating our deal out there just to see if chelsea, psg or man c want to nip in with 5 million more. They will stall on ancelottis official appointment then stall some more, whilst other suitors tap gonzo himself up and change his mind with 50k a week more wages. I hope i'm wrong or that the other teams just don't want him. this is not a post critical of arsenal, its just well, till he is wearing our kit and shaking hands with wenger on the official website beware!

^^^^^ words of wisdom friend pure genius what you have just said.

seantgooner your favorite arsenal informer

"I don't like something about this higuain deal" quote, excellent logic but fair doos PSG have to release Ancelloti from his contract which they cannot do untill they have finished trawling the world for a replacement

suspend betting on Higuain's next club. Arsenal were clear favourites (1/2) and only club in the running.

According to my source who works at the above, the deal will be announced in the next 48 hours!

Only Messi is more prolific in terms of chance conversion than Higuain.

This signing will be a game changer for us!

It's very confusing, there are also rumours going around that some agent close to him has announced that Higuain is NOT close to joining Arsenal.

"works at the above", WTF is that supposed to mean, Arsenal, Higuains next club, an unnamed betting firm?

Willesden Gooner

I've never sent a rumour in before, as I'm nitk, but have heard we've got him from the father of a friend of mine (aren't they always) who is in itk and he says we've got him for
£22 million and £150,000 pw
Hope so
Flybo

If we manage to sign Higuain and then follow up with Fellaini and a goalie - preference would be Mignolet then we really are in with a chance of winning something next season COYG

I believe that this signing will not go through untill madrid have a new manager. that mite take some time. it looks good though. I just hope that another team does not come in last minute and put us out of the running.

Why would anyone click 'unbelievable' on this? You KNOW, by the time the bookies stop taking bets, that it's a certainty.

Suspended betting is not a dead cert. bookies stopped betting on the PSG job because Cappello was a dead cert, few days later he says no. the suspended betting just means there have been a lot more than usual betting, bookies aren't about to take a loss now are they

@ Gooner11 what's the latest news on Fellani?

When the bookies start paying out, then it is a cert. Even then they sometimes get things wrong.

Well we can see how reliable your source is in 48 hours!

My friend works for the major TV company that shows all the football and they also have a betting division. The Eds took take name off the post hence the suspend betting bit!
I am assured that Higuain has signed a 4 year deal and will be announced as soon as Madrid announce Ancelotti as there new manager. As for Fellani, Wenger is interested but also looking at cheaper alternatives as he doesn't want to pay the £22Million

Higuain set for medical!omg come on wenger let's do this!

Wolvo "excited" gooner

This is typical British media, over-reacting and sending fans into a flurry.

Now we will all hate Wenger if this deal doesn't happen, e ven though the news articles have ZERO substance to their rumours.

Billybob

If he signs this week I will literally be celebrating this weekend.

Although I was convinced Cesc would not leave Barca this summer, apparently if Barca sign Mata then he will hand in a transfer request.

Paul

Mata is a far better player than the vastly overrated Fabregas, who has been found out at Barca. having walked out on us with 3 years remaining and being our captain, I do not want him to return. I would much rather we sign Fellaini, who will give us the passion & height we require.

Mata is a like for like at best a version of Andres iniesta.

Cesc is more in between xavi and iniesta. not superior, but in goals he is.

doubt he will leave.

Barcelona have a surplus of midfielders at the moment so as much as I would love this to happen, they have no need for matador they will not buy him

Good hope they sign Mata then.

Just for kicks and giggles, would you rather have Cesc or Mata?

Georgian Gunner

Barcelona have a surplus of midfielders at the moment. So as much as I would love this to happen, they will not buy Mata

Chelsea would be out of there minds to sell mata. but jose has the final say I suppose. But bet cesc feels silly for leaving arsenal where he had it made, loved by everyone to now being booed by his own people tough world. (palace fan)
Btw I have put a tenner on Arsenal winning the league this year good luck.

"Mata is a far better player than the vastly overrated Fabregas". So that's why Fabregas still gets ahead of him in the spanish team even when it is in left mid (Uruguay Match) which suits Mata better. And "found out at Barca". I'd hardly call found out when he can't get into the team with Xavi, Iniesta and Busquets in midfield. Finally "walked out on us with 3 years remaining and being our captain". He has always had a boyhood dream of playing for Barca and has said that the only team he would join if he left Barca would be Arsenal so he has always been a loyal player. Also he let Wenger keep him under hostage for 2 years. And fellaini height for Arsenal, because we all know how much Arsenal love to kick the ball up the field from defence or love crossing head height.

I'd have mata over cesc if that we're at the same price

Paul

This is complete nonsense.

Cesc's future at Barca is far more complicated than challenging for his place.

Higuain on verge for £22million and 130k a week.

Telegraph and mirror

If its in the Telegraph must be true lol

I can't wait for Higuain, perfect player we need
