Suarez to Arsenal...no, not the racist one, his non-biological argentinian brother, matias. Arsenal scouts have apparently watched a few of his games, according to the express and various other sources.
p.s. he's not racist - don't worry. He's also better looking...and taller!

Here is a matias suarez hattrick what do you guys think?

{Ed011's Note -

Believable11 Unbelievable3

Great goal by the AEK Athens player
but three good goals

Agree0 Disagree0

GREAT PLAYER HOPE WE GET HIM

Agree0 Disagree0

Dont Get Too Excited, Look At Lukaku They Played In The Same Team.

Agree0 Disagree0

Were people worrying about luis suarez being racist? I doubt it was a concern for liverpool before they bought him - and I doubt any premier league club would turn away luis suarez from their team if they could sign him up, racist or otherwise.

This guy looks alright, but these are 3 goals vs an average side on the night. Nothing to write home about.

Arsenal will buy CSKA Moskva young left back Georgiy Schennikov and young attacking midfielder alan dzagoev in the january window in a closed deal(not so much upfront but big money depending on performances, appearences and honours)
Arsenal will also buy eden hazard with Francis coquelin as part of exchange in a deal worth 30 million euros.
arsenal will also buy lukas podolski of FC Köln in a deal worth 16 million euroes.

Almunia will be a free transfer
Chamakh is on a transferlist with many french clubs chasing him.
Arshavin will be sold to zenit.
Sadly le coq will go to lille :/

yay henry might come bak on loan in cover for gervo wicked

Believable15 Unbelievable22

Any truth or chance in this rumour edd. {Ed001's Note - it is always possible, but unlikely, Wenger has faith in his team and is looking to add in January. It is more likely a long term signing joins as of now.}

Agree0 Disagree0

According to skysports, Zenit are interested in Arshavin and will offer 16.5m euros (what we bought him for). Seems like bs, but from skysports, so could be true. But why would anyone pay over 5m for him at the moment!

Believable19 Unbelievable10

If You Think About It Is Quite a Big Deal For Them As He Is The National Team Captin Maybe He Can Regain Some form With Them.

Agree0 Disagree0

He is a quality player just has not been able to do it consistently for arsenal, and rather than getting better as he settles in he seems to perhaps be getting worse

Agree0 Disagree0

Gazprom buys players for Zenit, they see and always did see Arshavin as a lucrative marketing tool in Russia, hence their over the odds offer for Andrei.

Ed do you think Wenger will go into the market apparantley rumours are surficing off arshavin and chamakh both being sold and Wenger buying either podolski or Cavani {Ed002's Note - I suspect there will be some dealings in January and I think Polski is an option. I don't see Cavani as an option at all.}

Heard a rumour that Mr. Wenger is lining up a surprise bid for West Brom's and Republic of Ireland striker Shane Long in the Jan. window.. Don't know how much truth is in it, I do know he is an admirer of his, and feels he has the potential to be something, with the right players surrounding him and in the right set up.. Would be a fantastic second striker, imo. Ed- any thoughts? Shayman {Ed001's Note - I have not heard anything on that, I very much doubt Wenger would be interested in such an average player.}

Believable7 Unbelievable16

Ed What A Great Comment

Agree0 Disagree0

I think it's because he's average that Wenger might be interested?! I swear AW is like that dumb girl who always dates the w$nker because they're like a little project and they want to 'change him'.... Wenger seems to be more keen on buying players who are nothing special and seeing if they come good than buying players who are already good because they're good. We have the money to buy good players, so we should.

No Wenger Buys Promising Youngsters And Makes Them Into Superstars

Agree0 Disagree0

Long is honest, hardworking and not without skill. He would be an ideal backup player. Better than the current backup options.

Agree0 Disagree0

Long is a lot better then the forwards we have sitting on the bench

Agree0 Disagree0

Imagine that, Arsène being interested in an average player...

From my source in Spain
ALL OF THESE ARE AVAILABLE IN JANUARY, they are
Soldado, Jose Callejon and Pedro
Soldado> Valencia are in dept and need to sell players.
Callejon> He comes off the bench for Madrid and gets goals but he would be open to amove because he can play 1st team football elsewhere
Pedro>With Neymar joining Barca Guardiola can pick from
Messi,Villa(when fit),Sanchez,Neymar, Affelay,Iniesta and Pedro. Pedro wouldnt IMO play that much with that competition
Rossi> Villareal are out of the champions league and are doing bad in the league

This is just a silly comment. Just been playing FIFA and picking random players and associating with Arsenal

Agree0 Disagree0

Neymar is going to Milan according to Brazilian tv

Agree0 Disagree0

This post is such a bs! and btw rossi is out for the rest of the season

Agree0 Disagree0

To the 2nd commenter, Neymar has agreed to join Barca....

And I'm pretty sure Rossi is out for the season with a cruciate ligament injury.

Agree0 Disagree0

Barcelona have paid 10m euros in advance and can sign neymar anytime they want up until 2014 and if santos sell him elsewhere they have to pay Barcelona 20m euros in return. Callejon only went back to real in the summer and he wouldn't leave yet

Agree0 Disagree0

I'm the second poster. According to the sports program I was watching this morning on Brazilian tv, Neymar will join Milan in the 2013/2014 season. He has not agreed to join Barcelona.

Probably as accurate as Sky Sports but that's what they are saying here in sunny Brazil

Agree0 Disagree0

I think neymar will replace villa

Agree0 Disagree0

The deal is agreed with Barca for Santos so they can say what they like...

Neymar will join Barca. End Of.

Ed What's All The Pastore Talk About. And Do You Rate Him. {Ed002's Note - There is nothing in the Pastore talk. He is ceratinly a decent player.}

Ed Do You Know What The Situation With Sahin Is? {Ed002's Note - There is no situation that I am aware of. He is a youngster in the Real Madrid squad.}

Believable1 Unbelievable6

Ohh I Just Havent Seen Much Of Him

Agree0 Disagree0

He scored Yesterday I think.

Gilo

Agree0 Disagree0

Lool That Makes He's Goal To Game Record 1:1 And It's December

Agree0 Disagree0

Sahin has been injured all year. He has just started to play and is essentially Xabi Alonso's long-term replacement unless Alex from the youth team takes that spot

US Gooner

Agree0 Disagree0

He has played more than 1 game for Madrid....

Sun has wayne bridge on his way to us, would normally say no way but we need some cover right now & he do OK for a little while. {Ed001's Note - he is a left back.}

Believable7 Unbelievable14

Yes ed he is a left back and our 2 left backs are injured, stop thinking you know what everyone is saying, when you dont, as just proven. {Ed001's Note - alright, I misread the 'right now' as right back, so no need to be an arse or you will just get blocked.}

Agree0 Disagree0

Tell you something right now Wayne Bridge is an absolute legend off the pitch - I met him a month ago (although I can' say where as he wasn't meant to be doing it!) and he is good mates with a mate of mine now, and I'll be seeing him again soon. Was surreal meeting him the way I did and getting to know him and tbh if he wants to come to us as cover for a few weeks/months that's cool with me!

Raz

Agree0 Disagree0

Raz hes that bad west ham didnt want him back
mark wexford

Agree0 Disagree0

Right... we give them adebayor, toure, clichy (a left back) and nasri - players who are at the top of their games at the time of leaving... and in return they allow us to take wayne bridge (on 90k a week) on loan;
thats pathetic.

Agree0 Disagree0

I highly doubt we would cover his full wages. Also there is quite the benefit given that he is accustomed to the premiership

Agree0 Disagree0

C;mon guys think about it. the only fit defenders we have are all CB's, & at least one of them is not very good at that, we need some cover NOW, but don;t need to buy any as when the rest are fit we will be stuck with too many. Like i said to begin with it aint what i would normally want, but it does make sense short term.

Agree0 Disagree0

In any other circumstances I would say no but it's a player with lots of experience and we need someone asap who we can bin at will. That narrows it down to hardly any players.
