Johan Djourou will be signing for Hamburg on a 3 year contract.
Will be announced Friday afternoon.
Good luck to him. Never quite made it at Arsenal.

He has gone on a season loan with a chance for them to buy him at the end.

When will we ever get a fee for a player surplus to requirements. Arsenal have had more loans than Wonga. com

He's going on loan, then thy will probably not take the option to sign him because he is awful.
Agree0

Typical Arsenal, happy to let players go out on loan or sell on the cheap, yet not prepared to pay the asking price for quality. Totally fed up with all of our dithering, whoever makes the decisions with regard to transfers should go. All we hear on Sky is how other teams are wrapping up deals and yet we make no progress. Hmmm, let me think, Season ticket sales = false promises!
Agree1

Just for the record, Djourou will be signed on a permanent transfer by HAMBURG for around £3m.
HANNOVER wanted him to come on a loan for another season after having him on loan last season.

Love it smartie. 10/10!

Maybe that Tottenham take him plus cash in exchange for bale? They know that he'll make up for bales goals plus some. Madrid have no incentive to sell to us. The only advantage we held over juve was we could offer full payment but if Tottenham decide to take the offer it doesn't really matter what we offer them does it?

Hig won't go to spurs he wants cl football and they don't have it so its also down to him and can any see him picking them over us

Re above. If Tottenham are tempted in any way by the Higuian + cash for Bale "carrot" that is being dangled by RM, just watch the valuation of Higuian jump up and that for Bale drop dramatically.
That's the way they do business.

You predicted that Arsenal would sign a player who's brother said a deal was close, good prediction.

Anyway Malaga. I hope you are right. because all I want is to see him at arsenal.
Agree0

I hope that we do get Higuain, however it is remarkable that Ancellotti has been at RM one day and already snapped up ISCO, yet we have been dithering for ages and little progress over this deal. Not sure who the decision maker is but they need to speed things up or we will be in the same boat as last season, grabbing the bargains on the last day of the sale!

Madrid announced signing Isco yesterday.
There has been no Higuain medical.
Stop making up rumours.

I love how people reply to Malaga Gooner with questions like "so how are things like with the Rooney negotiations?" As if he's a super agent or Wenger himself!
He is, like us, just another gooner surfing the net desperately looking for Arsenal transfer news.
He throws out comments like Higuain had a medical Wednesday night when he's not even in the country in the hope of claiming some insider knowledge!
Agree0
Disagree0
Just so people know, higuain doesn't have to be in the country to have his medical. He can have it done anywhere in the world. Just like podolski or navas.

I had to get up early this morning around 6amish- heard about it then- that was way before 9am! Does that make me a super insider now as well?> hehe

Latest development is that Ancellotti wants to keep Hig, "he is an important part of RM future"
Agree0

Isco is not a striker, so there's no connection with higuain situation.

I have not seen anywhere that quotes Ancellotti saying anything.
We have to be patient people, papers/media will speculate and make stuff up. let's wait until a RELIABLE source makes comment.

all valid points lads.
just posted what I was told.
dont know much about medicals, would of thought they don't take 5 minutes, just told in a very advanced stage.
very close

Medicals take a good 2-3 hours

Full medicals for professional footballers in multi million pound deals can take a full day sometimes 2. Every aspect ov players physical and medical history looked over
Agree0

Jokers. "would have thought they wouldn't take 5 minutes"
You are looking at at least a working day to complete a full medical and read the data, some of the tests will take 2-3 days to return results and analysis.
Agree0

The medical I have every year for work takes over an hour and that involves no fitness tests.
You don't have a clue Malaga, and you have no sources.
Backtracking on your previous post already.

I've played for Drogheda Utd in Ireland & had undergone a full medical. Believe me it doesn't take 5mins! You are an investment to these clubs & as such they like to be sure you're a solid one at the time of purchase. It's not a case of "he's good to run 20mins on a treadmill". They test eyesight, hearing, search for heart problems etc, send you for MRI, conduct various tests. It can take a week awaiting results. So I'd be patient & await full confirmation on the Gunners official website before making assumptions over a deal being done.
Agree0
Disagree0
I think you guys are being harsh on malaga, while a medical does not take 5 mins, the medical history of the player is listed by his previous club.
The basic checks are carried out within two hours and the player is then requested to carry out other medicals which can last another 2-3 hours, after which the player can sign, pending the outcome of the medicals.
this whole process takes a day, while if the player signs on deadline day, the risk is if the player passes his basic assessment, he can be signed. but if there are complications the insurance company will not cover the players contract entirely and this leaves the club to cover those costs.

Malaga, stop spouting $hit you aren't in the know. surely by now you know that everyone just takes the pi$$ out of you on here

This is a surprisingly precise post from you Malaga! We shall see. Most journalists are saying we are still waiting to strike the deal let alone he's already had a medical.

Why are people giving him any attention? No doubt if this deal does eventually materialize he will claim to be the one that 'broke it first'.

Most sources are reporting that Higuain is expected at London Colney on monday so yet again malaga talks rubbish!

Im losing belief in this transfer with each passing day. Some one some where is holding this deal up from happening be it on the player's side or his club.
Agree0

Malaga is just going out on a limb. if it happens, he will say he broke the news and take all the glory for an assumption.
if it doesn't happen, his reputation is intact.
Agree0

I like the wording. 'could'
Agree0

This is all the hallmarks of "Mata" all over again. Why do other clubs get their business done so much quicker than us. Surely if we have the money we should get the transfer done or are the club yet again making up the story about all the money available just to sell season tickets!
Agree1

If Higuain had his Arsenal medical yesterday and 'Malaga Gooner' knows about it, I don't know about anyone else but personally I would imagine a newspaper journalist might have also got wind of this.

That's a good point Paul, but isn't that the case with almost everything on here?

Higuain to arsenal has stalled due to RM offering him plus £25m to napoli for cavani. Napoli are very interested and are trying to sort out a suitable contract package for the striker with his reps.
Once again we dwindle on our dealings and loose out.
Why is it almost every other team can identify and capture thier targets in such a small period i. e tevez to juve or all prem purchases so far.
I believe this is due to a poor negotiations team and not having a director of football at the club to help sort out transfers.
Unhappy gunner
Believable36
Unbelievable43
I'm sorry you clearly state that the reason the transfer stalled is due to Madrid wanting to use him to get Cavani. Where was the mistake in Arsenal? they made a bid and they are told to wait till real madrid has signed a new manager. They are the one who is yet to sanction the move, so why it is the Arsenal's staffs mistakes?
Agree1
Disagree0
1. This isn't even a for sure thing, so why are you freaking out like Higuian has scored goals for Napoli already?
2. It's eventually going to be Higuian's choice where he goes, so he can turn Napoli's contract offer down
3. Don't blame the club for something they can't control.

I agree with the guy above me.
But I heard Higuain already signed with Arsenal a while ago. They just haven't announced it yet.
Agree0

I speculated based on the interview with Higuain's brother yesterday but it was just a feeling. You on the other hand seem to just be putting down your feelings as fact which is just pointless. What is the source of your info?
Agree0
Disagree0
How long have we been in so called advanced talks and still not sealed the deal?
How long have we been known to be interested? Weeks? Months? Yet other teams complete thier deals within days.
It is the same with every single transfer we make.
Agree1
Disagree0
If Arsene wanted Higuain that badly he would have got him. There is more to this transfer than meets the eye and that the media are trying to make of it. Wait till the end of July
Agree0
Disagree0
1. This isn't true.
2. If it were it wouldn't be our fault we did all we could. We can't control Madrid.
3. Why don't you have some patience and stop jumping to conclusions?

Stop getting your panties in a twist the papers write lies to sell papers his brother/agent has already said a move to arsenal is close so wait and see

Fellow gooners you can take this post with a pinch of salt. Napoli' eccentric owner has been quoted saying 'napoli do not want cash plus player just cash', chelsea have had a £49.3m offer accepted by napoli and man city are now interested in him again after a stella performance against brasil last night. Madrid want bale and will need extra cash like the sale of wantaway striker higuain for £22m for instance with cash up front. i'm not saying we will get higuain but I can guarentee he will not be playing in italy next season.
Agree0

I've read that it was Di Maria + £25mil not Hig. He will still be joining us.

I'm just keeping the faith we will get him despite som last minute nerves!
Should it not happen, I'll be the grown man crying in the North Bank come August!
I blame Metal Gooner. I wasn't even interested in Higuain til he pulled my coat tails on the guy! Lol

You always here player plus money transfers being talked about in the media but it never happens with big players involved. Can you remember the last player plus cash transfer that's worth remembering?

Well this is totally bonkers. And don't want it to be accurate.
Times are reporting Real Madrid have offered Higuain to Spurs in a Bale exchange.
Also another rumour doing the rounds is that we've cooled on Higuain to chase another target.
Lets hope this is all false
Believable20
Unbelievable54
Higuain would choose us over spurs
The only target acceptable to chase other than Higuain at this point is Lewandowski
Agree0

Higuain won't go to Spurs. Simple as that. He doesn't want to play Thursday nights.
Agree0
Disagree0
This is not true, madrid would not offer a player they could get £22m cash for tomorrow as part exchange. They are more likely to offer another player who bale will replace like di maria for example if they deem him to be surplus to requirments. The only way higuain will go to the spurs down the road is if they request him however madrid will then have something to bargain with to try and get bale cheaper. In my opinion expect cash for both deals not saying we will get higuain although starting to look slightly promising.
Agree0

I think it's Di Maria plus cash not Higuain they've offered
