News from creditable sources reporting fabregas and higuian are in their way in, add fellaini, cesar and maybe another cb and we will be right up there with a chance.

Rooney would be a good signing, however I think a little smoke and mirrors is at play here.

I know I know I am getting sucked into all the hype, but if it doesn't happen this summer it never will.

A lot of money will be thrown around this summer, but if we can get our business done early we will be in great shape for a good pre season, which is where we have been suffering of late.

come on you gooners.

I'm not sure about the higuain rumour, that's just in the limelight as we're after Rooney. Ashley Williams will be the cb we'll get, pretty much a done deal along with cesar, fellaini and sanogo.
Would love sir cesc back but it isn't going to happen, more chance of grenier!

Big mick Micky mcmickerson

Hopefully wenger will sign them players if so we should be up there. Fighting for the league

Take Cesc back on a year long loan with the option to buy at the end of it. It would be sickening to see him in another EPL outfit.

Fabregas coming in, the fellaini situation is just hoo haa the real target is fab as for strikers could be Rooney and higuain.

If both kos and Tom stay we won't strengthen the back four.

Cesar is a done deal.

Coincidental that the Agm is on monday!

Basically what ray parlour said then!

The Sunday Mirror says were in advanced talks with Higuain, so fingers crossed. The Rooney rumour never had legs and we only get first refusal for cesc, but he'd be a person to go anywhere other than utd. They can offer the wages and he''ll win trophys there.

Higuain is not just a rumour we are in talks and have contacted his agent and spoken to his father. Williams and Cesar are about 95% done. Fellani will join as we have made contact and said verbally we'd match his clause but right now we are looking at cheaper options first in Lars Bender and Gundogan. Bender is a possibility but Gundogan has just signed a new contract and is happy at the club but Wenger is a big admirer of Fellani and believes he would have an instant impact fill the 'Viera void' in midfield. Grenier will join it's just a matter of will he join straight cash or will Gervinho be in the deal or not.

Why does everyone want cesc back when Arsenal have cazorla and wilshere (who have more attributes in their game)? so you'd drop one of those to make room for cesc?
cesc is slow and plays too much like an individual, poor work rate, often out of position, doesn't influence big games etc.

"we only get first refusal for cesc, but he'd be a person to go anywhere other than utd. They can offer the wages and he''ll win trophys there>"

hang on- isn't that the whole point! We want to start winning trophies again- the shackles may be off (fingers crossed) financially now, so we want to bring players in to turn us into a winning/competing club again. Where's your ambition and loyalty? Or are you a utd fan. I wonder.

Did anyone see Caesar last season. Inter were no mugs by selling him. He is still a good player but personally by looking at his mistakes last season, he is more clumsy then Szczesny.

Sky Italia reporting Rooney is our main target

Other news, although Sagna is in talks over a new contract if he doesn't sign Arsenal remain interested in Micah Richards despite his new contract and will test City's resolve.

arsene wenger met with higuain in france and I hope they came to some sort of agreement

Would he impede the development of giroud? He showed glimps of being great and with the right support behind him (jovetic) he could be amazing

He could, but the question remains, do we have time to wait for strikers to become good, or do we buy strikers with proven quality, spurs are getting closer and closer each season

No he wouldn't impede he would enhance the whole team, I hope this is true as he is a great player and can play as a target man or an out the box player where as jovetic is actually overly hyped

Personally think he would help Girouds game. Higuians arrival wouldn't mean Girouds complete exclusion from 1st team football either. Saying that, with the arrival of another (much needed) striker, I can see Walcott throwing his toys out of the pram.

To the first reply. When you consider Higuain is a year YOUNGER than Giroud, then I would not be concerned whether he will impact Girouds development or not. Higuain is already better than Giroud, and with his age should mean he be priority in the development aspect. I like Giroud, a lot, but if he's not as good as Higuain now then he never will be. I pray we sign him

Really hope this is true, but since Higuain was playing for Argentina yesterday it seem a little unlikely that he met with Arsene in Paris.

To the poster above, it was his agent and father/ or rep who met AW

No it's that his father met with Wenger in Paris

Awkward how AW is in Israel covering Frances Under 21 games for a french broadcaster ;)

There's a lot of time between Monday the last French u21's last match to today for Wenger to have made the journey to negotiate a transfer. He has responsibilities at Arsenal first and foremost before being a TV broadcaster or commentator. He missed a match due to transfer negotiations already.

There are these wonderful things these days called private jets! Get you places in no time. It's easy to get to paris and back with in a couple of hours and higuain could have easily have travelled by jet over night to get to paris for the meeting

And his PADRE TOO. ah
