Arsenal Rumours Archive July 28 2012

Good news, Sahin and Cazorla too be announced in Monday. the board and wenger is hoping that v.persie pens a new 2 year deal following these signings.

RVP to sign a one year extension? Why as that puts him at risk. That's as crazy as a 5 year deal.
RVP will get a 3 year extension if anything.
Any less is pointless for him, anything more is too big a risk for AFC.
I hope he signs once he sees our ambition.

This is ridiculous but I like your optimism.

Rvp signing a new contract? sure... if it's 220k a week. even if we sign messi FFS

Malaga agreed the Arsenal deal to transfer his player Santi Carzola,, with the £26 mill Fee.

GunnerForever

It sound like a 2ru story

Really 26 mill? or do u mean 16?

Arsenal won't pay 26m. They could get someone better and younger for that.

Could you mean 26mill euros? as that is nearer the £20mill they wanted for him?

If thats true, it'll be 26 euros not pounds
Jersey Boi

I'D SAY THAT WAS 26MILLION. . TALKSPORT'S SPANISH CORRESPONDENT SEEMED TO THINK GOOD CHANCE OF THIS DEAL GOING THROUGH. CAN ALWAYS HOPE....

26mil and throw in bendtner would get goetze so doubt its 26

No chance. I reckon they might get Santi' Cazorla though, for somewhere in the region of 17-20M

I am hoping you pressed the 2 before the 6 by accident!

The new bid is supposedly 23 million euros...

What they said was that they expected at least 26m. we just raised our bid from 20m to 23m euro

Sahin is alot like Wilshere without the energy/buzz

He's not like Wilshere...

Sahin is a lot like Arteta. sure, Arteta and Wilshere can play the same position but they are very different players. Arteta is much less eager to get forward and is very good at lying back deep in the midfield and connecting the team between attack and defense. same kind of role that Schweinsteiger and Xabi Alonso play. those are the kind of players where it's hard to appreciate how important and how good they really are because their role can be quite subtle. it becomes clear though that they're very important when they're injured/rested and the team becomes a disorganized mess.

Sahin is a very good player and his position does not call for "energy/buzz". But we do have Arteta in that spot and he was fantastic for us last season so the money should be spent elsewhere.


-Gooner Curmudgeon

Agree with Gooner Curmudgeon although there would still be value in getting Sahin if only to cover for Arteta or in difficult away games to provide a more stable midfield base.

Had to google what Curmudgeon meant by the way!

Hackney Gooner

Arteta is the the bomb, not only because of RVP, we finished in third place, but mikel is a major player for the AFC

Sahin on loan as cover for arteta wen hes injuired and after a yr at arsenal if hes any good we shud buy him as arteta will be 30 by den

And sahins quite slow

ok, the journalist who told me about the possible gotze deal, now tells me that the deal is pretty much off after having a bid of bendtner+rosicky+20mil rejected.(rosicky being injured didnt help), but main reason being they wanted atleast 30mil in cash so they can build their team.

so i wanted to ask a few others some questions as im curious;
ben; what happened to the possible transfer of muller?
Malaga gooner; whats your news on the gotze front? and why would arsenal keep v.persie and then still sign neymar?
and ben x; whats the latest on mvila?
Thank you

waq, as i posted arsenal gave them a deadline on monday gone and i have heard on the situation hence as i posted ganso became the best option...rvp has been offered 2 year deal on £150k a week+bonus and will be not sold to any english club for less than £25mill..
do you think santos would prefer to business with 1 club for both players?
i am only passing on info...

Spanish press, AS reveal that late last night a 23 million Euro offer for Santi Cazorla arrived in Malaga....from Arsenal? They also say that apparently Arsenal's offer would cover what they paid for him last summer as well as the money they owe Villarreal

sure it was villareal that they bought him off! so if they pay the same as Malaga paid for him that would cover the cost

Bad news on the Cazorla deal, it appears that Malaga rejecting an initial Arsenal bid was in order to buy time for the club making a decision. This is because Sheikh Abdullah Al-Thani is now believed to have agreed to the cash injection the club require to get out of debt and avoid facing relegation.
I believe Cazorla has a buyout clause of around 45m Euros that Wenger will not pay.
It is true that Arsenal agreed personal details with the player, but Malaga will now refuse to sell if the money from Sheikh Al-Thani comes in.

These arabs are so filthy rich no wonder why the americans want that oil!

But not as rich as usamanov bring him in!

Keep Usmanov out.
They way those Sheikhs splash he cash he would be mad to let Malaga be relegated although it does seem as if he lost interest in the club or never had any to start with, maybe he just bought them for bragging rights ie the oil sheikh version of 'i own a race horse'.

Bs, they haven't even been paying players wages or the tax man so why would they all of a sudden put there hand in there pocket and pay now??
