So radio "Kiss Kiss" ( Official radio station Of Napoli) are saying Gonzalo Higuain is going to join Arsenal Fc, if its true it will be massive.

Read that myself. I really really don't see that happening.

It's a strange one, the quotes come from a translation which I'd never trust anyway, but the radio station haven't disputed it so, who knows what they really said.
They apparently said we'll offer €50 and Giroud, which id personally be ok with, but Arsene loves Giroud.
However, the thing that makes this a 'believe it when I see it' beyond all doubt, is that they APPARENTLY, said we were trying to raise the funds through sales, including 'the sale of Koscielny for €50m'
Now A, I can't see us ever selling Kos, he's the best CB in the league in my opinion, unless it was a mad offer.
€50m is exactly the kind of mad offer I mean, but that leads me to point B.
Who'd pay €50m for Kos?
Great as he is, he's 30 years old and maybe has 2-3 years of being a top level player.
Much of Kos's game relies around him being very mobile for a CB and that's the one thing all players lose with age.
Also, I know it's a little ungrateful, but including Giroud in the deal would definetly give us the better forward, but it'd still leave us short up top!
Either way, Higauin would be a top top signing and if we do sign him, I'll buy a hat just to eat it.
But I've been burned by Arsenal rumours before and Higauin was the worst, fool me once, shame on me.

Can't see AW getting rid of Giroud and that still leaves us short up front.

Banners we are short up front with giroud, we wouldn't be with higuain. Lol.
{Ed001's Note - but Giroud is taller than Higuain, so you would be shorter up front without him.... ;-)

Peter Crouch is surely the answer.

Steve
There is no logic to your comment, we need someone as well as Giroud . You sell him for another striker and we still need another CF.

Banners no logic in what i'm saying? You are saying we aren't getting anyone. So by your logic we only have giroud. My logic is if we do get someone, id prefer higuain swapped with giroud than no one. Not saying we don't need another striker. i'm saying higuain instead of. This is wenger, will he buy an higuain and keep giroud?

The only way Wenger will buy a forward will be to sell players to fund the incoming transfer .
New CF. Giroud, Sanchez, Walcott, DW in his return, far too many people.
