Arsenal Rumours Archive July 02 2016

Eds is there any interest in higuain from Arsenal this summer?

{Ed002's Note - PSG may look to Higuain if Cavani is sold and Benzema or Lacazette are not available. Arsenal may yet turn to Higuain as an option but the price may put them off. Do not rule out a move from Bayern Munich if they lose Lewandowski - they have been looking and Ancelotti is an admirer. Conte has told Chelsea he is keen but I suspect Chelsea will be unwilling to pay the asking price. Atletico will try and tempt Napoli with an option of one of two players plus cash deal.}

Thanks ed 👍 I'm just worried that Arsenal will miss out on a top class striker and end up with giroud as 1st choice again, which won't go down well with fans. Arsenal really do need one of the ones you mentioned 👆.

{Ed002's Note - Nothing the club does will go down well with the fans.}

Now! Now! Ed02 .
Don't you start with the Higuain rumours.
You should know better .
You will end up getting everyone at it!
😂.

Hit the nail on the head there ed002! Although that's not the case with all fans lol.

Ed, you reference that strikers listed below are not our first choice. At the risk of being a vegetable - who is our first choice striker target? Thanks 🌽.

{Ed002's Note - Vardy was first choice.}

02 Jul 2016 10:03:55
Thanks Ed, so do we have a top target. You mention it's not Lacazette, I hope we are chasing a new top favoured target. 🌽.

{Ed002's Note - The club are pushing for a deal for Takuma Asano in the first instance.}

02 Jul 2016 10:46:51
Who is first choice now ed? Apart from asano. Thanks.

{Ed002's Note - Asano is.}

02 Jul 2016 11:30:08
It appears then giroud will continue as first choice striker.

02 Jul 2016 11:33:40
Ed do you know anything about asano and how he will fit in. Will he be in with the 1st team squad?

{Ed002's Note - I don't know anything of him and would need to ask around.}

02 Jul 2016 11:45:01
Do you think another striker might be looked at ED002, or just Asano?, is he good enough?

{Ed002's Note - The transfer window opened yesterday and I am sure Arsenal will look to a number of players - and as I have said another striker is a possibility. I know nothing of Asano.}

02 Jul 2016 11:51:46
I think it's safe to say Asano is our top immediate target lads but his arrival wouldn't stop us looking to strengthen further if we get the chance to do so, that's my take on it anyway:-)

02 Jul 2016 13:26:08
Yes but Takuma will go out on loan, surely we should concentrate our efforts on the here and now not what might be in 3 years.

02 Jul 2016 14:52:46
Hey all this club become a laughing stock now they don't want to spend money more than 15 Mil on a striker. Aubameyang 40-50 mil pay it. Please.

02 Jul 2016 14:59:02
Although we know nothing about Asano, I'd still take him over the Korean striker we were monitoring:

Fu Kin No Wan ;)

Stinks of a wind up lol.

Thanks Ed, not the name I wanted but you just say it as it is. Thanks again.
