Arsenal Rumours Archive July 03 2013

Old teacher of mine scouts for Utd. I caught up with him the other day and asked for inside info on the Rooney situation. His reply was that the player think he's bigger than the club and that Utd won't put up with that attitude. I asked what he thought about Arsenal's chances and his response was negative regarding the wages issue.
More interesting however, were his responses regarding their targets. Cesc Fabregas and Gareth Bale this summer and Ronaldo next.

Ces has said many times he won't join utd, he will return to arsenal when he feels the time is right, he will stay at barcelona.

They put up with it before

Haha! Ridiculous post

With a 25 million buy back, and a 50% sell on fee, united would have to pay barca 50 million just to make the same amount they would get from us. So 50 million plus however much for baboon boy. Ain't happening.

Flybo

To flybo, was listening to a guy associated with Barcelona on the radio a while back. He said we'll receive a percentage of the profit Barcelona make on the sale, not on the total sum.

Chimney sweep Josh

Either way chimney sweep josh I ain't worried as it won't happen.
Flybo

Don't Ronaldo and Bale play in the same position?

I hope this is true as I don't want rooney at arsenal

Just seen Luis Suarez is 7/2 2nd Favs to sign for Arsenal. We were never in the betting. Where's this come from.
Andylat.

Rather have higuian

Just seen the same thing. I really don't understand why

Probly bookies just trying to stir up business

Betting suspended with william hill

Loads of bets placed this morning in Barcelona?

Just looked on paddy power 4/1 RM 1/2 but I remember checking the odds a few weeks ago and your right arsenal where not listed WTF?
Really don't want him he's a person


Cork City Gooner

God I hope it's lies we don't want him horsing around in our ranks! Hahah

I don't believe it to be true for one second but boy would I take him in an instance! Might have a bad rep, but Arsene would sort that out and most importantly he's a world class player!

Imagine a front line of: Walcott-Higuain-Suarez

Pretty scary!

G95

I'd take Suarez in a heartbeat he has his problems but he's a world lass player and with out supply should get 20-25 goals he also is very creative I'd take him over higuain tbh
Imranredman

Absolute no chance of getting him story is
pretty toothless if u ask me

GS

Sadly I can only see Arsenal buying 1 CF/ST so if Suarez comes that means Higuain is off. Personally I would rather have Higuain, after the first season with us and 30+ goals he will be the most wanted striker in world.

Suarez is the best player in the Prem in my opinion but it is a ridiculous rumour. He is bound to cost something like 60m and we will rightfully never pay that.

Went from not listed, to 7/2 and now it's 9/4

No one will sort out Suarez, he hates the English media and they hate him, what's Arsene going to do move the club to Spain.

Apparently it's due to a string of bets made in Spain, no wonder their economy's going down the pan. No chance of it happening

every 1 the hig is a done deal and agreement was sealed last week.

madrid are not touting for any other club to come in for him.

do you not think that's unusual for a player that wants to leave?

relax it will be announced when the club is ready.

People have been saying this for weeks. We need proof or sources

Why make us wait if that is true? Why put the fans through this? We deserve better than to be put through the wringer like this!

I thought you said last weekend?
What happened to medical is done?

Ok I'm confused then, apparently Marca and higuains father are saying its not done in an article published in spain this evening - as you're in Spain can you confirm if that's true and explain the apparent disconnect with it all having been wrapped up last week? As the player appears to be in Miami until Saturday it still sounds not done to me - happy to be wrong.

Why is it I would have been delighted if this post had come from anyone but you.

3434,
the only proof you are going to get is when its on arsenal. com.

b&q do a lovely bbq and I can recommend a nice sauce if you like!

malaga gooner

Put through the wringer! Seriously, you need to get a grip, as do a lot of others on here. the window has been open 3 days! that's not even taking into account that Hig may still be on his holibobs! Christ, the entitlement of some of you lot is truly amazing. not in a good way either

Higuain is on holiday. I am pretty sure this is a done deal. I think he will be in an Arsenal shirt but July 10. No sources I am just speculating

I am fairly certain Arsene is done with most of his transfer business, and also pretty confident higuain is one of them

03 Jul 2013 20:58:31
Think you are right. and not far off with the 10th. Arsenal have a lot of very cleaver people running the club. So our CEO is no mug. Phil harris who founded carpetright. who is a millionaire. Chips Keswick, who him, with his family are in the billionaire range. They wasn't going to bring in a spiv in to run this club. Ivan and the guys are working behind the scenes to bring in the players we need. The only worry for me is Wenger has a price in his head. That's not always enough. Do think the Higuain deal will happen, if its not sealed already. km

heard the higuin deal is on the verge of collapsing can't agree a fee with madrid

Yeah this deal will not happen, now, we will not go above 20 million, madrid want 25. what a waste i'm a prime position to get one of the bests strikers in the world, and typical wenger just messes about.

Over a couple of million as well. This annoys me because the club make about £3million per match. and we all know that we need a player of this quality. So losing out on him for a couple of million will leave most fans tearing their hair out

Deal will happen end of window, Higuain does not want too stay and wants to come. Higuain on Holiday until weekend. AFC willing to go to £22m

25mil for a player that can't get into the starting eleven, wise up fella, money doesn't grow on trees you know

It typical Stubborn Arsenal set our own limit and not prepared to go over it even for a just a few Mill. more

4. 5 Million is not a lot in todays market, and let's be honest what type of player can you get for 4. 5Mill by saving money not paying that amount as extra for Hiquin. It silly really. A good opportunity to get a good player who still a good few years left at the top level. Withno real interest from other clubs after Juve went in for Tevez and by all accounts he wants to come and we are still dragging our heels yet again.

Only one source to this story, and his success rate is on a par with Cowdenbeath. Get worried when more reputable reports emerge. Think of the potential transfer fees RM are committed to this window and ask yourself if they are prepared to jeopardise one of their prime targets for £4 million and keep a dissatisfied player in the reserves.

Yestday I posted here saying Wenger is an economis & £70m wdnt change him & som1 got on my case 4 that. bt sooner or later u'll agree wth me.

Shalom_ajul

Hig deal on the verge of collapse because we won't meet reals asking price where 4.5mill short of what they want. for me if your offering 21. 5 what's an extra 4 mill. how many deals/players have we missed out on because we won't pay that little bit extra?

'Typical Wenger' cause someone puts a rumour on a transfer site it must be true then. Love your optimism.

03 Jul 2013 14:30:02
Your taking notice of second rate websites where the writers don't know a thing. km

Dont believe everything goal com tells you mate.
they always do all sides of a story (e. g. higuain in negotiations, higuain close, higuain collapsing etc. ) and eventually one of them becomes true and they refer to it later like it was them that broke it (very cheeky "journalism")
im still hoping he's coming in.

You mean you read it on A website

This 'news' is being reported on a web site; hardly a reliable source.

There are 3 likely scenarios here:

1) the deal IS on the verge of collapsing over the transfer fee;

2) there is no deal at all, we were never in for Higuin and the whole thing is just media hype; or

3) not all parities are available for a deal to take place (holidays etc).

I have to say, most of the time Arsenal do like to do their business early on and do not discuss the details of negotiations. Don't get me wrong, the prospect of Higuin being an Arsenal player for the upcoming season is a bit tasty. I just think it's very unlikely that anyone really knows what's going on other than the parties involved and they aren't talking.

Anything else (including the above) is just speculation.

Only going by what I was told lads and what I read online I never said a source at all Stevie b

People can say whatever they want about Wenger, Gazidas etc, but there is NO WAY this deal will fail over a paltry 400k fee. We ain't that stupid!! Believe it when you see it 'officially' and stop relying on rags.

For god's sake it hasn't even happened yet and people are moaning! Can we not at least see what Arsenal and Arsene do before we slaughter them?

I agree what was said about a web site above, I once read an article that we had signed joe cole on a free transfer lol. Still it is hard not to get disgruntled when everyone else around us seems to have no problem securing their targets and we drag our feet

Correct me if i'm wrong, but if we have no other competitor for his signature? why pay them 4 mill more and outbid ourselves?

we outbid juventus, and we have given madrid a better deal, if they wish to wait it out for another team to come in, so be it.

no one will pay 30 mill for a madrid sub.

he is our no1 target, other teams have not even bothered looking at him, do you think he will go to chelsea, being the 5th option, if they could not get their first 4?

He said he wants to go to a club he will feel loved. that's us. no1 priority and all. I can't defend our stance more.

we are doing the right thing.

since when did 4.5 mill, become loose change? rather use that 4.5 mill on a players wage for a year.

I hate wenger. I wish he would leave because he's destroying arsenal by not addin the reinforcements we need and has lost his way.3 million is nothing in this day and age. Thanks wenger we'll now be below Tottenham in future seasons

Name please sir you have voiced your opinion but we don't know who voiced it

Bergkamp5353

To be fair £25million ain't a lot for a world class striker when compared to what other strikers are going for so let's pay it and get him on board

You hate Wenger? Stay away from Arsenal Piers! He's the best thing that EVER happened to us!

Block 5 Gooner

Kronke is as useful as a chocolate firegaurd, how can he not sack Gazidas, this man comes out and tells the world how much money Arsenal have and what they can afford, Rooney now wants 200k a week Marouane Fellaini wants a reported 125k a week from 75k at everton. seems to me that the board use Wengers tightness against him, if we have the money then friggin spend it now and let's have a pre season together not last min cheap panic buys
