I'm told that Arsenal want to announce 3 new players the day we leave for the Asia tour as a publicity stunt. Adding together rumours and hints I've been given I'd guess these are Cesar, Higuain and Fellaini (?)

Do we leave on Friday? If so that might be the day.

Believable21 Unbelievable78

Te asian tour will leave on the thursday night

Yorkshire gooner

Agree0 Disagree1

There will be no signings untill after the asia that I am sure of

Agree1 Disagree2

I believe we leave Thursday and our first game is 14th July. Could be leaving Friday but I don't think so.

More importantly I would literally be speechless, amazed and fall off my seat if we signed three players (or announced them) before our Asian tour.

Just can't see it.

Agree3 Disagree1

Don't think so why wait until then? We can only wish tho

Agree0 Disagree0

They leave next Monday- and I hope you're right, that would be very welcome news.

Agree0 Disagree0

More likely to be Barry, Downing and a French kid.

Agree1 Disagree0

More chance of a hole in one at golf

Agree1 Disagree0

Haven't ever seen a rumour on here come true!

Agree3 Disagree0

Not sure if this is relevant but remember Santi wasn't announced straight away, but he was still on the plane for the Pre-season tour and only insiders knew about it.

-YoungGunner

Agree0 Disagree0

Lol not a french kid, but Kalou!

Agree0 Disagree0

Surely they would have done this today with the launching of the new away kit you know how our board think CHURR-CHING!

Agree1 Disagree0

More like an obscure german kid, an obscure spanish kid and another obscure french kid.

Agree0 Disagree0

Utter Nonsense, your living in cloud cuckoo land i'm afraid! We are not getting Rooney, Fabregas, Suarez or Gonalons for that matter either! Will be lucky to even get Higuain. We need David Dein back to deal with transfers, our current negotiating team are shocking!

Agree0 Disagree0

Their first game is Sunday 14th July so they are leaving Thursday.

Either way, there will be no signings before then.

Agree0 Disagree0

Can't helping thinking this rumour has been generated by wishful thinking from the fans- a bit like the away kit unveiling.

Wouldn't get your hopes up tbh.

Agree1 Disagree0

What a load of rubbish!

edd any interest in vidal he would be a better option than bender in my opinion also lamela quality young player any chance we could get him and also are we looking at any players that played in the u21 tournament ie ignio martinez, insigne, or stootman thanks for your time and effort {Ed029's Note - Not from Arsenal as I understand it mate.}

Believable3 Unbelievable27

I'd love to have vidal on the team, but it won't happen. -_-

No biggie or particularly exciting but Bendtner will be gone by the end of the week.

Believable58 Unbelievable11

We're about to lose the best player in the world (copyright N. Bendtner) and you say it's no biggie?

Agree2 Disagree1

Player swap for higuain, maybe ronaldo?

Agree0 Disagree0

Anything related to Bendtner leaving is front page news!

Agree0 Disagree0

This is more than big news it's flipping epic news

Agree0 Disagree0

LOL best response of all time!

Agree0 Disagree0

Shoot me down. I think he's a good player, and given a chance in position could score plenty for us. Not saying he's better than who we're linked with, but if we ultimately are left buying some gervinho type when the big names sign for other clubs, i'd rather keep the big man.

Agree0 Disagree1

I saw a post like this in 2011 and 2012.

Agree0 Disagree0

If true I think this is the best thing I've seen posted on here recently

Agree0 Disagree0

Nicholas, get back to pre season and stop messing around putting posts on the Internet. Nb52.

Agree0 Disagree0

Good luck to him, hope he goes on to have a good career. shame his game didn't match his ambition. watch him pop up to nod home the winner in a europa cup final against the spurs when he's about 33! Come on you gooners!

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope Spurs buy him!

Don't Worry.
its very rare arsenal buy early. they have already spoke to higuain, they only asked liverpool about the services of Suarez it was not a bid. they are playing games with real madrid trying to keep the price down, as they haven't sorted out a price yet. this is what I think is going on so hopefully we get higuain and not the chap from villa? PLEASE NO.

Believable48 Unbelievable26

A bid was made for Suarez

Agree1 Disagree0

According to most reports (and they can't all be wrong), the problem with the transfer of Higuain and Fellaini is that Arsenal simply refuse to meet the asking price. Assuming we are talking about a few extra million (when we supposedly have 70M to spend) this is a drop in the ocean compared to failing to qualify for the Champions League - why are Arsenal so stubborn because at the end of the day this could cost us dearly!

Agree2 Disagree0

Totally agree - it's as if Arsene's principles render him blind to the bigger picture. Very strange for such an intelligent man.

CECEGUaW

Agree2 Disagree0

If you don't buy early then you wind up in the bargain basement hoovering up everyones scraps, after they've signed top quality. Still at least that won't happen this year as we get our early bid in for a top DM. Gareth Barry. oh, wait.

AP

Agree3 Disagree0

Poldolski was signed pretty early.

I think its unlikely we'll sign Higuain. Just keeping it real.

Agree1 Disagree1

Doesn't make sense. Why ask about the services of Suarez who would minimum cost 35 mill, to make Madrid think we won't up our 23 mill bid for higuain. If anything that would go against us as it says we have the money?! Buy early or you are stuck with second rate players all for the sake of penny pinching! Been here before, I have no confidence in arsenal when it comes to spending money! Sw18 gooner

Agree1 Disagree0

I think what most people are forgetting is the statement by IG - the amount is to be spent over two seasons.

Agree0 Disagree0

70 mill over 2 seasons?

then the title race is over before it has begun. for this year and next

Agree2 Disagree0

"Don't Worry.
its very rare arsenal buy early. "

Uhh. is that supposed to reassure us? Citing Arsenal's past transfer methods is anything but reassuring. Waiting until all of the good players are bought by other teams and buying budget players because their contracts are either expired or near expiring isn't something that makes me not worry.

We missed out on countless players with this micro, micro negotiating nonsense like Mata, Hazard, Vertonghen, etc.

Agree0 Disagree0

Podolski and cazorla were both signed early last season!

Agree0 Disagree0

Cazorla wasn't signed till august mate

Agree0 Disagree0

Arsenal could save there self a possible 7-8 million on this one transfer it takes time when your the masters of cash!
when recession hits football we will have the last laugh. or the stock market go's bang again with silly man u floating on it.

Apparently Arsenal are unveiling a huge publicity stunt today. Probably to do with the away kit launch. A lot of talk about the stunt being the kit and Higuain announcement together. We should find out at 3. 30 today. Fingers crossed.

Believable14 Unbelievable58

It could be gareth barry. hahah

Agree0 Disagree1

They have changed the Jerseys of all the players on the Stadium Facade.

That is the special unveiling.

Agree1 Disagree0

I suspect this is a rumour generated by wishful thinking fans-

obviously I hope I'm wrong, but come 3. 30pm we're probably just see a new kit.

Sad to say, but I rarely get my hopes up anymore and when/if something does happen its a pleasant surprise.

Agree0 Disagree0

Higuain will not be on the picture if that's what you think

Agree0 Disagree0

I've just seen pictures of want they have done! They put up new mural around the emirates, just changing one of the outside pictures of old legends 2 a new of 6 arsenal players wearing the new away kit! Which is out on the 1st August! ( Aaron Ramsey, Carl Jenkinson, Jack Wiltshere, Theo Walcott, The OX and Gibbs!).



Azzy84 gunner

Agree0 Disagree0

Or maybe we could all be suprised to learn that B52 has decided to stay and the club can save £25M!

Agree0 Disagree0

I think it could be more than just the changing of the mural on the emirates or I hope it would be. The head of the Arsenal PR team tweeted that they had an Audacious Stunt planned that had taken months to prefer, so god only knows what it could be. Bayern did a similar type of then went down like a lead ballon. Hope we have more success with it.

Agree0 Disagree0

If its not a player, no one will give a crap. we don't want to see any shiny mural. we want a player who can win us a shiny trophy. anyway 30 mins for some major disappointment.

Agree0 Disagree0

If its audacious and took months to preparr its either going to be announcement of 1 or more signings or some stupid pr stunt that will ridicule the fans. Getting our hopes up with silly audaciousness

Agree0 Disagree0

Does anyone care anymore they think we do I for one won't buy another kit go to another game till we start showing some ambition! What about everyone else?

Agree0 Disagree0

I think its the DB10 statue.

Justagooner

Agree0 Disagree0

4pm and still nothing about no announcement

Agree0 Disagree0

3. 30 has passed so were is Higuain?

Agree0 Disagree0

I'ts now 4:30 no news yet

Agree0 Disagree0

I hope anyone didn't have their hopes too high regarding a new player. some of us did try to warn you.

Agree0 Disagree0

Well the one new bit of news I've got 2day was there is 3 new kits! The yellow away which I've know about 4 months now, a new black goalkeeper kit which will b the home one. Had seen a picture of this the other day, I thought it was the away gkeeper kit but oh no its purple! It's all on the arsenal shopping bit online! At £50 a shirt, wenger best spend some money!

City ready to hijack Higuain with 27 Mill bid.

Believable44 Unbelievable41

Ctrl + H

Find
Higuain

Replace
Jovetic

Agree0 Disagree0

They are tying up a deal for Negredo and still maintain a strong interest in Jovetic.

Don't just make guesses mate

Agree0 Disagree0

09 Jul 2013 12:27:45
Did they ring you personally to tell you. km

Agree0 Disagree0

Higuain wants a club where he is no. 1 choice as striker and not competeing with two other striker's of the same calibre which would mean limited playing time.

Agree1 Disagree0

Obviously no inside new but this sounds like one of the more likely rumours.

I can't understand us haggling over 2M I mean we make that every home game. If we were to sign higuain you could be sure the Emerates Cup would be sold out in a flash and we would make an extra 2M just from his shirt sales. Seems crazy to risk losing him over 2M

Agree0 Disagree0

No there top 2 strike targets now are negredo and jovetic

will make a change buying an arsenal target rather than waiting for him to become an arsenal player and then tapping them up and poaching them.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah cause Arsenal are getting Suarez. Better than Higuain
