Hi,
i have been in contact with a very good source in Spain (a well known journalist, i cant reveal his name) and he told me about three spanish players that arsenal are interested in, they are Athletic Bilbao's Iker Muanian and Fernando Llorente and Real Madrid's Esteban Granero. He reckons that we can expect to see two of the above players sign in january.

Very interesting. So its Llorente and Munian out of these 3. Granero not allowed to move in january according marca. Thx god dont like him. Another RM reject we dont need. I want Reus/Schuerrle and Götze though

Fabregas Was A Barca Reject

At an very early age. you cant compare an 24 year old with 17 years CF!! Granero is just another super cheap solution.

Agree0 Disagree0

Granero is an excellent player - its no shame he cant get into the RM first xi when you look at their team - he's one of the few genuinely ambidextrous players in the game, has great passing range and excellent close control, he'd be a fantastic signing.

So your journalist is the guy that works on caught offside?? or did you get it of caught offside {Ed007's Note - Caughtoffside just pay kids to make up stories to catch the eye and draw people in.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol footybunker stole your rumour. Few days ago they said Shea could be the only signing. What a load of crap. Worse as caughtoffside imo.

Agree0 Disagree0

My rumour was posted on the 13th of november and this was posted on the 14th on footy bunker
Arsenal are believed to be tracking three La Liga footballers with sources suggesting the Emirates side are possibly in the market for two of them with at least one a January transfer possibility
caught offside will post it next i reckon

Llorente, was apparently valued at 35m euro, cant see anyone in their right mind paying that for him, hes the spanish andy caroll not alot of pace decent finish tall big and stong, Iker, very promising young player, can play wide or as second striker, quick strong skillful, not sure how much that would cost? not sure about the other guy as i do watch alot of spanish football, but cant say that i ever saw him play {Ed001's Note - they rejected �35m for him last January, British Pounds, not Euros.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Look at footy bunker to see my coment

Good source.

Arsenal will bring bendtner back from loan in january from sunderland and give them chamack for rest of season.
They will then bid 7.5 million plus bendtner and arshavin for goetze.

Watch this space

Believable12 Unbelievable56

Arshavin-15m
bendtner-10m
=
25m
gotze=35m so yh it can work but wont happen but what a deal that would be.

Agree0 Disagree0

Bendtner cant be called back. Sunderland have to cancel the deal. Also why would they do that. They have signed so many players this season they are still trying to gel. Cant see them agreeing to this

Agree0 Disagree0

If this happens it would be really really great! but it ain't gonna. {Ed004's Note - Arshavin 15 million :0, and Bendtner 10 million...}

Agree0 Disagree0

Dortmund didn't want Bendtner in the summer; so why would they want him now in January?

Agree0 Disagree0

^^^ they did or ed all i know is there was intrest

Agree0 Disagree0

Too complex. It would require the agreement of three boards and three managers, and the compliance of four players regarding re-locating and financial inducements. More to the point - what`s in it for the players` agents?

Agree0 Disagree0

Money

Agree0 Disagree0

Never gonna happen.

Ted

Agree0 Disagree0

Rubbish. Even if Dortmund were interested, and they won't be, the maximum value Bendnter has is �6-7m, and Arshavin �8-9m. So they'd accept �22m for Goetze?
Would we have done that deal for Fabregas? Do you think Dortmund are run by idiots? Not a chance in the world.

Listen up, you're obviously new to this site otherwise you would have realised that i'm one of the few who actualy has a legit contact in Arsenal; in the past i've said..

Cahill and Samba won't be signed (at a time where everyone was reporting deals to be done very soon)

Gervinho will be signed (said this while the season was still on)

Goetze will be looked at very seriously in Jan (talk hotting up now)

Bid put in for Jagielka (three days later the news broke)

So don't accuse me of BSing.

Ben

Those of us who use this site regularly specifically look out for your posts due to how accurate you have been in the past. if you can try and get some names though for January we would all appreciate it...

Tim Taylor

Agree0 Disagree0

I always look out for Ben's posts. Always seems to be very accurate.

Pete {Ed007's Note - Oh Ben.......you're just ssssooo dreamy ;-)

Agree0 Disagree0

Whats the crap im reading about barcalona are making a 15 mil, bid for alex song, sky sports had it up and bbc sport. ffs hes a diamond of a cmd for the gunners hope its all crap hes too good to lose,

Agree0 Disagree0

huh
but ben you are trust worthy the only thing you got wrong was when you said phil jones will come and the next day he went to man u but. Guys ben is a realiable guy and he knows his stuff unlike people making things up .

I've been looking at and posting on this site for quite a while now,and my late brother yeti was on here since last season...so I'm not a new poster,no.
I just find it hard to believe that 'sources' leak sensitive information about the clubs they work at...surely they have a confidentiality clause in their contracts?
if not,happy days,we'll know everything before the press,sky sports news,talksh*te and maybe even Wenger himself..unlikely though.
so ben,whats your source saying about alex song to barca..can you get him to tell us its not going to happen?
can you get walcotts address off him as well for me...I'd like to send him a christmas card.

mick

Agree0 Disagree0

1732, yeah i said that but just to reitterate, we were in talks with him that night, but Man U came in late with a better offer, and he chose them instead. At the point of my post, Jones was hours away from signing the dotted line but Man U pipped us to him. Even in the BBC article reporting him signing for Man U the next day said that Arsenal had beenheavily in talks with him. Anyway thanks guys

Ben

Agree0 Disagree0

Listen mick, don't be daft. He tells me barely anything. Just little bits here and there. Sarcasm is the lowest form of wit by the way.

Ben

Agree0 Disagree0

I know a few people that are in the supporters trust. They always know a bit and would tell me a few things mainly about who is being scouted. But id never post that info on this site for 2 reasons.
1. People commenting and saying how do u know this blah blah..
2. We scout so many players its unbelievable. And if I did post about one of the players and the scouts said they werent good enough id look stupid.

Agree0 Disagree0

Your both losers, Ben might know his stuff, still a loser.

Agree0 Disagree0

1732 ben is not the only one that is reliable i told everyone on here we were to sign joel campbell when everyone thought the deal was dead

Agree0 Disagree0

You tell them mate, Bens thinks his such a big man, I probably know a lot more than most of yous

Raz

Agree0 Disagree0

PS. that sounds like someone northern typing like they speak - 'thinks HIS such a... YOUS' - southerners don't chat like that as far as I know, I certainly don't haha.
