I was hopeful of this one too. Shame it's not going to happen, but would have loaned a loan with an option to sign this player.

This is a special player, who has now split with Silvio's daugther. I think under Wenger, he could become world class. Still very young.

It very very wishful thinking, but would be worth the risk.

Rumoured to be putting in a 5 mil bid for Mignolet. Good player to challenge Szczesny, maybe even take his position?

Almost definitely more BS but apparently we are linked with the man Lopez for Athletico Madrid, this David Villa stuff is total crap too.. {Ed002's Note - Why not try thesearch function about Adrian Lopez?}

Believable2 Unbelievable14

Adrien lopez really? defiantly not been doing the rounds for months and months seems unlikely......

Agree0 Disagree0

Adrian Lopez has a buy out clause of around 15 million so its possible, he is a good player scored 11 goals last season. Not sure whether I personally want him though we have plenty of strikers who can also play on the wing which is where he would likely play as he does for Madrid. If we want a winger I would prefer we get a proper winger and if we want a striker get an out and out forward.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed - Where is the search function, how can we use it? {Ed027's Note -top right of the page, you can type in players names, and all posts which contain the name, will appear, so you can check any information from the Ed's that has been given

Agree0 Disagree0

48 MILL buy out clause don't think so.

1. Hazard was of interest to us. We bid 4 times, twice last season and one times each in the prior two.

2. M'Vila we had enquired about but didn't do anything after.

3. Wenger is a HUGE admirer of Goetze's talent and I wouldn't be surprised if we got him.

Adidas is going to be our kit supplier.

I'd say Malaga Gooner rushes with posting information on here and that gets him a lot of slack. (I respect his posts and you should too.!)

You have to understand, a lot of times the deal is cancelled in the last minute and getting a player isn't an easy process. Our negotiators aren't at fault because we had a cap set on how much to offered to each player. We won't be doing this anymore unless we're asked to pay a hugely disproportionate sum.

And on Theo, if he leaves it's down to the agent.. Both Theo and his agent know that the club has offered enough for him to stay. Mark my words, the board isn't at fault here.

P.S Zaha's done. Remember I said that a long time ago? Yeahhhhhh. Me too ;)

Malaga Gooner is a wind-up merchant and you're clearly a plonker.

Just watched some YouTube clips on falcao.. Truly magical player; no we won't sign him but it did get my thinking...

Watching some of those moments were no different then some of the masterclass moments from Henry, Dennis and RVP.

But who among our attackers possesses this now...

Out problem is difficult to define, but as good as Walcott may be - can he be that good. When the ball touches his feet, do we all believe that anything is possible...

I doubt it. Good player, but not a talisman.

Believable40 Unbelievable2

YouTube does that sometimes

Agree0 Disagree0

Indeed, YouTube does... But that aside, how exciting would our recent clips be.

3 penalties in 3 matches. I hope that can turn into more.

Agree0 Disagree0

Theo is a great winger but definatly doesn't have that quickness of thought and magical touch that the three you mentioned have.

Agree0 Disagree0

Lewis Holtby to sign for Arsenal next month in a deal worth around £8million, as well as a striker which is believed to be Fernando Lloronte and if not him then it will be Demba Ba, Klaas Jan Huntelaar was the number 1 striking traget but obviously he has signed a new contract at Schalke and potentially 1 more player could be on his way to Arsenal but it will not anyone spectacular, i will let you know when i have more info on this, and in the outgoings Theo Walcott looks certain to be leaving the club but arsenal will make a last ditch 85,000 contract in hope he signs otherwise he will be leaving in this January transfer window, Nicklas Bendtner may be on his way back to Arsenal as Juventus want to end the loan early as he has failed to shine so Arsenal will try and flog him in this window, and Andrei Arshavin will be leaving the club in January.

Believable11 Unbelievable24

I suspect holtby will sign an extension as well... Realistically I don't think we will get anyone this break.

Which may be more about the circumstances than desire to sign players.

Agree0 Disagree0

Its a sad day when we know were not good enough and yet we do not have the finances the board have said wenger has 50m to spend in january just so that wenger will take the blame when no-one is bought and that is really sad

So, Adrian Lopez or David villa, neither, seem to add the goals tha we are looking for. Lopez has 3 goals in 25 games this season so why is he of interest? And villa at 31 maybe has a year or two to contribute but in an injury ravaged body I doubt we'll see him that often.
Please show us supporters some respect we attend weekly and you fob us off with some woeful qpr-esque signings even Sunderland didn't want bendtner and look how bad they are.
I doubt I'm alone in scouring every website looking for us to be adventurous in the transfer market.

Go to the pools in your local area and scout members of the diving squad...... That's how you win your games.

Agree0 Disagree0

Think we're lookin at Lopez on his performance last season, 19 goals in La Liga is no mean feat. This season he has been the odd man out and hasn't been given much of a chance. Lopez certainly has the movement that Giroud lacks and at the price would be an astute signing

Agree0 Disagree0

Roberto Soldado would be worth considering in my opinion, more of a consistent goalscorer than Lopez.

Stezza.
