I'm told that Arsenal want to announce 3 new players the day we leave for the Asia tour as a publicity stunt. Adding together rumours and hints I've been given I'd guess these are Cesar, Higuain and Fellaini (?)
Do we leave on Friday? If so that might be the day.

There will be no signings untill after the asia that I am sure of

I believe we leave Thursday and our first game is 14th July. Could be leaving Friday but I don't think so.
More importantly I would literally be speechless, amazed and fall off my seat if we signed three players (or announced them) before our Asian tour.
Just can't see it.

Don't think so why wait until then? We can only wish tho

Not sure if this is relevant but remember Santi wasn't announced straight away, but he was still on the plane for the Pre-season tour and only insiders knew about it.

Lol not a french kid, but Kalou!

Surely they would have done this today with the launching of the new away kit you know how our board think CHURR-CHING!

More like an obscure german kid, an obscure spanish kid and another obscure french kid.

Utter Nonsense, your living in cloud cuckoo land i'm afraid! We are not getting Rooney, Fabregas, Suarez or Gonalons for that matter either! Will be lucky to even get Higuain. We need David Dein back to deal with transfers, our current negotiating team are shocking!
Agree0
Disagree0
Their first game is Sunday 14th July so they are leaving Thursday.
Either way, there will be no signings before then.
Agree0

Can't helping thinking this rumour has been generated by wishful thinking from the fans- a bit like the away kit unveiling.
Wouldn't get your hopes up tbh.

edd any interest in vidal he would be a better option than bender in my opinion also lamela quality young player any chance we could get him and also are we looking at any players that played in the u21 tournament ie ignio martinez, insigne, or stootman thanks for your time and effort {Ed029's Note - Not from Arsenal as I understand it mate.}

LOL best response of all time!

Shoot me down. I think he's a good player, and given a chance in position could score plenty for us. Not saying he's better than who we're linked with, but if we ultimately are left buying some gervinho type when the big names sign for other clubs, i'd rather keep the big man.

Good luck to him, hope he goes on to have a good career. shame his game didn't match his ambition. watch him pop up to nod home the winner in a europa cup final against the spurs when he's about 33! Come on you gooners!

Don't Worry.
its very rare arsenal buy early. they have already spoke to higuain, they only asked liverpool about the services of Suarez it was not a bid. they are playing games with real madrid trying to keep the price down, as they haven't sorted out a price yet. this is what I think is going on so hopefully we get higuain and not the chap from villa? PLEASE NO.

A bid was made for Suarez
Agree1
Disagree0
According to most reports (and they can't all be wrong), the problem with the transfer of Higuain and Fellaini is that Arsenal simply refuse to meet the asking price. Assuming we are talking about a few extra million (when we supposedly have 70M to spend) this is a drop in the ocean compared to failing to qualify for the Champions League - why are Arsenal so stubborn because at the end of the day this could cost us dearly!
Agree2

Totally agree - it's as if Arsene's principles render him blind to the bigger picture. Very strange for such an intelligent man.

If you don't buy early then you wind up in the bargain basement hoovering up everyones scraps, after they've signed top quality. Still at least that won't happen this year as we get our early bid in for a top DM. Gareth Barry. oh, wait.

Poldolski was signed pretty early.
I think its unlikely we'll sign Higuain. Just keeping it real.
Agree1

Doesn't make sense. Why ask about the services of Suarez who would minimum cost 35 mill, to make Madrid think we won't up our 23 mill bid for higuain. If anything that would go against us as it says we have the money?! Buy early or you are stuck with second rate players all for the sake of penny pinching! Been here before, I have no confidence in arsenal when it comes to spending money! Sw18 gooner

I think what most people are forgetting is the statement by IG - the amount is to be spent over two seasons.
Agree0

70 mill over 2 seasons?
then the title race is over before it has begun. for this year and next

"Don't Worry.
its very rare arsenal buy early. "
Uhh. is that supposed to reassure us? Citing Arsenal's past transfer methods is anything but reassuring. Waiting until all of the good players are bought by other teams and buying budget players because their contracts are either expired or near expiring isn't something that makes me not worry.
We missed out on countless players with this micro, micro negotiating nonsense like Mata, Hazard, Vertonghen, etc.

Podolski and cazorla were both signed early last season!

Cazorla wasn't signed till august mate

Arsenal could save there self a possible 7-8 million on this one transfer it takes time when your the masters of cash!
when recession hits football we will have the last laugh. or the stock market go's bang again with silly man u floating on it.

Apparently Arsenal are unveiling a huge publicity stunt today. Probably to do with the away kit launch. A lot of talk about the stunt being the kit and Higuain announcement together. We should find out at 3. 30 today. Fingers crossed.

They have changed the Jerseys of all the players on the Stadium Facade.
That is the special unveiling.
Agree1

I suspect this is a rumour generated by wishful thinking fans-
obviously I hope I'm wrong, but come 3. 30pm we're probably just see a new kit.
Sad to say, but I rarely get my hopes up anymore and when/if something does happen its a pleasant surprise.
Agree0

Higuain will not be on the picture if that's what you think
Agree0
Disagree0
I've just seen pictures of want they have done! They put up new mural around the emirates, just changing one of the outside pictures of old legends 2 a new of 6 arsenal players wearing the new away kit! Which is out on the 1st August! ( Aaron Ramsey, Carl Jenkinson, Jack Wiltshere, Theo Walcott, The OX and Gibbs!).

Or maybe we could all be suprised to learn that B52 has decided to stay and the club can save £25M!
Agree0

I think it could be more than just the changing of the mural on the emirates or I hope it would be. The head of the Arsenal PR team tweeted that they had an Audacious Stunt planned that had taken months to prefer, so god only knows what it could be. Bayern did a similar type of then went down like a lead ballon. Hope we have more success with it.
Agree0

If its not a player, no one will give a crap. we don't want to see any shiny mural. we want a player who can win us a shiny trophy. anyway 30 mins for some major disappointment.
Agree0

If its audacious and took months to preparr its either going to be announcement of 1 or more signings or some stupid pr stunt that will ridicule the fans. Getting our hopes up with silly audaciousness
Agree0

Does anyone care anymore they think we do I for one won't buy another kit go to another game till we start showing some ambition! What about everyone else?

Well the one new bit of news I've got 2day was there is 3 new kits! The yellow away which I've know about 4 months now, a new black goalkeeper kit which will b the home one. Had seen a picture of this the other day, I thought it was the away gkeeper kit but oh no its purple! It's all on the arsenal shopping bit online! At £50 a shirt, wenger best spend some money!

Higuain wants a club where he is no. 1 choice as striker and not competeing with two other striker's of the same calibre which would mean limited playing time.
Agree1
Disagree0
Obviously no inside new but this sounds like one of the more likely rumours.
I can't understand us haggling over 2M I mean we make that every home game. If we were to sign higuain you could be sure the Emerates Cup would be sold out in a flash and we would make an extra 2M just from his shirt sales. Seems crazy to risk losing him over 2M

No there top 2 strike targets now are negredo and jovetic
