I would probably piddle my pants TWICE with excitement if this happens to be true and he signs. !
Churchill Gooner

Yes but I doubt he'd choose us over pretty much any team he wants

His name is Piszcheck as Higuain and Jobetic are the strikers we already have deals in place for.
Josh09
Agree3

Its definately not him though is it that's an odd suggestion, it could be hummels (hopefully), any of their midfeilders, or maybe even pizcek as the sagna signs are up. One thing is though why would you leave a champions league winning side for us or even a runners up side for us.
Agree0

If dick is in negotiations, I can't see it being for him. nailed on to bayern after the final next week
Agree0

It's either Piszcheck or Subotic. not Lewandowski.

Oh great, Malaga Gooner again with his wild guesses every day.
Agree1

Oh the deals are in place only for Higuain and Jovetic Josh? Are you at the negotiating table? Let's not be foolish. Speculation from papers does not equal fact.
Agree0

Any Dortmund starter would be fine! They're all good!

I have to agree with Piszczek. We will be needing a right-back, and he is class.
However, he's contracted until 2016 and, like others have said, is part of an elite squad that is in the UCL final.
If we can offer higher wages and the allure of the premier league/London it could be possible.
Agree0

Dick Law is in Spain right now not in Germany, sorry bud
Agree0
Disagree0
I will not abuse you MGooner, but I must ask you why again these summer? Don't you have another job or winding up gooners with make up rumours is your dreamjob.
Agree0
Disagree0
Everyone seems to forget that all the bd players are linked to bigger clubs that them, yes they have reached the final of the champions league but many are linked to moves in Spain and bayern so it's quite likely we could snap up a player from there
Agree0
Disagree0
If he makes enough guesses eventually he will get one right and will then gloat about it!
Agree0
Disagree0
So. From malaga's original post, at least we now know that dick law is deffinitley not in germany, and we will deffinitley not be getting lewandowski

Oh great Malaga gooner is off his prescription again.
Please please stop making up these ridiculous stories, people who don't know you're 'special' will believe it and run away in hope!

Sorry folks, in the last 10 years we have managed the club in 9 million odd. the same phase has seen wenger make 90 million. speaks something
i only see link to gold member renewals next to the "challenge for silverware" article in arsenal.
unless we have couple of marquee signings. we should stop this dream.
Agree0
Disagree0
It's far from foolish to establish your information from a variety of reliable sources and personal research. I'm saying Arsenal are in the market for a marquee striking signing and Higuian and Jovetic are players we have been strongly linked with by no coincedence. Sometimes indeed newspapers create random spec of players supposedly wanted by the player but some of the players they do mention are in fact possible transfer targets.
No I am not a false football agent not friend of the Arsenal board members, I'm just an ex professional footballer who now studies sports at a University who has been out in contact with some people who have insight on certain information about transfers.

More likely to be Piszczek (if anyone from Dortmund) as a replacement for Sagna

19 responses to a nonsensical post. He thrives on the oxygen of it all. Deprive him of it and he might go away. Ed said in another post that the Metro had the poorest success rate of any press outlet - they and a web site are absolutely top-notch in comparison to Malaga Gooner.

I hear that we are releasing Jernade Meade. I thought he looked like a good one for the future. Maybe the signing of Monreal has limited his chances but given that Gibbs has had more than a fair share of injuries maybe his chance would have come. We may well get to see if he fulfills his potential as rumours are that a number of premiership clubs are interested.

Think it's due to the fact that we have a much better prospect a few years younger than him. Don't remember the name unfotunately

He is very very short.
Agree1

Sadly his height is his downfall for a defensive player.
Agree0

Just too short. I think we had a young right back many years ago, callled Gilbert, who has a similar problem.
Agree0

Massively disappointed, this kid is so good on the ball, but I guess at 20 you need to of made some bigger steps by now. Shame.

Hes supposed to be going to afc bournemouth.

Yeah, I used to follow Cardiff before the rebranding and saw Kerea Gilbert play, he was a very good player, never understood why he was released.

wengers no. 1 transfer target is Karim Benzema, madrid are having a massive clear out and he is one of them. Deal in REgion of 25m, plus victor valdes for 10m. I don't know who the defender is but he is a german defender who can play right back and centre back. Midfielder is Gonalon from Lyon wiyh gervinho going the other way.

Benedict Howededs? Jerome Boateng?
Agree0

This is complete nonsense the Real Madrid board have already come out in a press conference to clarify who may be dispensable from their squad during their new clear out. It has been publicly stated Higuain will leave the club whilst Benzema will stay on. This is also evident in their starting line up as Benzema constantly starts ahead of Higuain and his record this season along with performances justifies why Mardid have decided to keep him.
Josh09
Agree2
Disagree1
Victor Valdes will not be acquired by us in the summer because we have a deal in place to take Cesar who is a cheaper option with premier league experience. Gervinho will leave and Lyon are interested yes as well as Galatasaray not many people are bothered where he goes but Gononlans coming in may be of use although I don't personally know much about the player myself. Defenders we're looking at are Corchia, Piszcheck, Williams, N'koulou whist we have also been linked with Hoewdes who currently plays for Shalke who could be the player your talking about. If so he'd be my first option for CB instead of N'koulou and Williams.
Agree0
Disagree0
IMO, Valdes is past it, over-rated, over-priced and can stay where he is. Cesar, much better option.
Benzema? Would rather Jovetic.
I'm still hoping for a crazy Cavani deal but I'm just a hopeless romantic!
Agree1
Disagree0
Why would we buy Valdes? Sczezney is definitely better than him

Sagna was on a easyjet flight this morning with his wife and a bald man, who came across as his agent.

20 May 2013 19:33:12
how was it that he came across as his agent? because he was bald? or did he have a big sign on his back saying "Sagna's agent"
Agree3

Or it could of been a friend and they was going on holiday or abreak and how would some one know he was on a plane unless u was on it aswell
Agree0
Disagree0
You must have been blinded by the reflection of his bald head, his agent is still in France. tieing up a deal to go to PSG or Monaco

Easy jet! Really! Lmao

Sagna is reportedly in Spain with his wife.

I have it on good authority that Sagna is currently on his way to the hairdressers.
Agree0

I didn't think top earners in the EPL flew with easyjet.
Agree1

Why on earth would Sagna, his wife and agent travel on Easy Jet - get real.
I would imagine they'd go Club at the very least.
Agree0

It's true, he flew out to Malaga on Easyjet today.
There are photos - And if the Ed's would allow them I'll post them. {Ed027's Note - Post them on the sightings page, that's what it is there for
Agree0
Disagree0
Thank you Ed.
I have now posted them. So if you would direct your attention to the sightings page, you'll see he was in fact travelling to Malaga today on Easyjet w/ the rest of us normal people.
Agree0
Disagree0
Don't think he would take his wife to a contract negotiation. so for me, it's a no
Agree0

Easy jet!?! no chance!!!1
Agree0

That's why we've had so many rumours from our Malaga gooner today - he's getting them straight from Madame Sagna and Kojak.
Agree0

I seen Sagna in pureto Banus shopping with his misses today 21/5/13

Im going to say Higuain first then jovetic.
especially if higuain costs less.

Sealed Deals.
Higuain
Jovetic
Sanogo
Wenger still wants a CDM to tighten up the midfield.
We don't really need any defenders, we've got the second best defensive record in the BPL. We might buy a RB if sagna goes.

I would take one Centre Back or promote Miquel and give him game time because if Mertesacker gets injured and Vermealan is performing badly (not saying he will be players are not always in top form) then we have no experienced quality CB's to compete for the PREMIER LEAGUE TITLE
Agree0
Disagree0
We need another CB. You need 4 to compete across all fronts. Squid and Djourou are both out. What happens if Mert, Kos or TV5 go down?
Agree0
Disagree0
Why go and spend money on a player that we obviously have already.
Vermarlen or Gibbs can play in this role they are defensive minded and look good going forward save the money and spend it on a decent defender.

If its true and they want him and we are interested in Gonalons, there must be a deal to be done here. Straight swap would be good.

Swap for Gourcuff

I know many people will disagree on this, but I still believe Gervinho has something to offer at the club. He started this season good, and I believe that if he getst the confidence he can do good.

I'd have settled for the happy meal!
