Juve 2/9 and arsenal 3/1 to now sign higuan

Yeah it sucks I think arsenal was 5/6 this afternoon

Higuain will sign for Juve, as soon as Real appoint a new manager. Juve have agreed deals in principle for Higuain and Jovetic
Agree0
Disagree0
There is no “deal in principle” for Higuaín on Juve’s part. Real Madrid simply said they would take installments but the Juve bid was lower than Arsenal’s bid, so at the moment I can’t see how they are favourites?
I think the player will favour an Arsenal move too, he wants to be first choice, at Juve they have Vucinic, Giovinco, Matri and Llorente to come in…

Its been a busy day of source chasing and I have heard another rumor on the Arsenal side of things. As well as Arjen Robben we are supposly interested in, many people in Spain are sayng that we are willing to let TV5 go to Barcelona as part of a deal bring back Cesc.

I'd be willing to let that happen
Agree1
Disagree0
Just as long as Barca don't try to shaft us on the transfer fee. We got 34m Euros, say £28m when we sold him. Two years on and unable to hold down a midfield place, any talk of a £40m fee is nonsense. A net fee of 15m Euros would be fair. 25M EUROS for Fab with 10M for tv5 going the other way. Any o/s money still to be paid for the 2011 transfer would be a further credit. Barca are skint after Neymar and need funds.
Agree2
Disagree0
We have first option to buy him and that's at a set price less than 40m apparently. I very much doubt he will be leaving, two decent seasons while barca are not being linked with any versatile attacking midfielders similar to cesc

Galatasaray are willing to take Gervinho for around 12m and Wenger is willing to cut his losses.
Besiktas want Fabianski
As I wrote on other sites regarding Fellani we have said we are willing to match his buy out clause verbally but we haven't made an official bid. We are seeing if we can find cheaper alternatives first i. e Gundogan and Lars Bender.
We are willing to go up to 25m for Higuain a deal could be done by Wednesday.

Sounds believe able to be honest good post mate you and this new guy Josh09 I like it!

Gundogan cheaper than Fellani? Are you on crack!
Dortmund not only challenge for their league and Champions League (something Everton could only dream of) but they've also sold two of their best players. They'll fight tooth and nail to keep their next best thing (which Gundagon clearly is), and asside from that they have no need to sell, unlike the cash strapped Everton.
Fellani's worth £18-20m tops! The only thing driving his price up is the rumoured interest from Chelsea. Look what Citeh's interest in Fernandinho did to his price!
Gundogan's worth at least £20m, more if he stays at Dortmund for another season.
Agree0
Disagree1
Fellani has a buy out clause of 22m for a CL team, it's not a matter of what he is worth it's how much a team will realistically sign him for. Gundogan is class and no he will not be leaving Dortmund at all nether less he is a player we are being linked with in that position as Wenger likes his style of play. We will not sign him. It's Lars Bender or Fellani.
JJ
Agree1

Fernandinho had a buy out clause of about 40m City were lucky and fortunate to get Shakthar to compromise on the price.

Cut his losses on the player, get rid of him for a reasonable price! {Ed027's Note - JJ

Higuain is going to Juventus
Agree0

Gundogan and lars bender are better then fellaini so we may aswell try and get one of them, plus there german so they will link with mertesacker, fellaini should be our 3rd option if the gundogan and bender deals go south. {Ed027's Note - Gundogan is different to Fellaini though....both offer different things

I just heard that we have more or less won the race for Higuain. But then again, football is unpredictable and things change in seconds, such as the Mata deal.
I don't expect it to remain quiet on the Arsenal front for much longer.

I have many different sources from across the globe. But I heard a very interesting rumor from my agent in Germany that we have inquired about Arjen Robben from Munich, apparently is big news over there and is in all the papers.

I bet we will be 2 weeks into August and haven't signed anybody.

Why wouldn't it be Believable. Santi Cazorla is suited better in attacking Midfield, Not out on the wing. Also with Arshavin and Gervinho going Arsenal only have Podolski and Chamberlain who aren't starting players (Chamberlain maybe). But then again Robben is suited to right wing where walcott plays so maybe not.

Many sources across the globe?

UK Papers

Spain Papers. Blah Blah Blah. etc. etc.

Podolski is our no. 9, if it wasn't for his injury he would be playing more and not always substituted.
When he plays on the wing he offers very good crosses both high and low consistently more so than Walcott and Chamberlain. He has scored 11 goals and 9 assists in games for us from the wing our second best stats for a wideman. He will be starting next season.
Agree0
Disagree0
Would be great but I personally doubt it as we have the options of Podolski, Walcott, Chamberlain, Miyachi out wide plus Grenier looks to be coming.
Robben is class and would bring us goals from the wing but he is so greedy.
Excluding Gervinho as he will be leaving us.

Another Malga alto ego?!

Not sure Robben appreciates the term 'team'. Good player, bad karma.

Forget higuan rooney jovetic, this guy is a beast.

He isn't going to leave Dortmund for Arsenal. Get real!

True, but doesn't change the fact that he is a midfielder and we still need a centre forward.

Let's not forget Higuain.
Thank you.
Agree0

Why forget higuan, rooney and jovetic they are all forwards and gundogan is holding midfielder, clueless!
KAY9
Agree0
Disagree0
So we're being linked with a central midfielder who is more of the sitting back type, therefore we should ditch all our targets in the striking department? How does that work?
Agree0
Disagree0
Daily mail say arsenal will swoop for gundogan, higuain, and bender and might fight chelsea for jovetic as I think rooney might stay at man u.

? we need a striker mate so you can't forget those players unless your saying these guya aren't good enough for our team if so your nuts

any 1 that knows me will know I have posted in the past that theo walcott and his future at the club.
can any 1 see him being at the club next season because I cant.
theo was very close to leaving in january.
where would theo fit in as a forward at the club if we signed a world class forward, how much would this be a kick in the teeth for him.
his contract renewal baffled me, why was it not a long term contract. he has 3 years left on his contract now.
i am pretty sure if a club comes in and offers 25-30 we would except the bid
i think he could be on his way in the summer.

Believable13

I don't think Theo will ever play as a striker again. The only way for him to play in that area is if we play two strikers upfront, which I don't think will happen next season. He will remain as a right winger
Agree1
Disagree0
He isn't going to leave this season, it doesn't matter what he wants if he can't produce the goods.
P. S. No club in their right mind would ever offer 25-30mill for Theo. If they did I'd bite their hand off.
Agree0
Disagree0
You say this every transfer window.
1. I don't think he's ever looked more stable in the team
2. He's recently signed a new contract
3. He has very good friends in the squad
4. We don't need to sell
5. We are (apparently) finally showing ambition
6. He's soon to get married to a girl who has a very settled private life and career in England
I wonder if you posting this the day after the rumour (and that's all it is) about Benitez wanting Theo at Napoli?
This rumour has come out because Benitez has twice previously expressed an interest in Theo while managing in England. He rates him. That's it.
Now we're waiting to see when you next claim Rosicky is off, because that's what you usually say during a transfer window.

Malaga Gooner- You live in a dream world mate! Where do U get all this rubbish from?
I don't think I've ever seen a reliable post from U!
Agree1

Hmm. just as I was starting to think you were in the know, you post this Malaga. As if AFC would spend a year to sign theo if the intent was to immediately sell.
Agree0
Disagree0
Seriously malaga dude! What is wrong with you? You post this rubbish since years and you keep ob doing it though not a single post of you was correct.
Agree1
Disagree0
Utter rubbish. Theo is happy at Arsenal, and he isn't niave enough to think that he'll ever get a chance to play a full season up front. He just wants to score goals and win trophies.
If that means him playing on the wing and feeding the likes of Giroud and Higuian, then that'll do for him. His only worry is that he may think the squad isn't good enough to challenge for major trophies. That'll be the only reason for Theo to want to leave.
Agree1

He is wanted by benitez at napoli
Agree0

Whats peoples problems. what's wrong with walcott signing a new contract then leaving? I actually believe he will leave this summer also! with his contract running out he has no value to the club so they sign him up for a couple if years and increase his value it makes perfect sence!
Agree0
Disagree1
Whenever I'm feeling down, I pop here to look for a Malaga post.
Thanks, mate. You've set me up for the week.
£25-30M.
Bahaha, ooooh-eeh! That was a good one *wheeze* ha!

"Whats peoples problems. what's wrong with walcott signing a new contract then leaving? I actually believe he will leave this summer also! with his contract running out he has no value to the club so they sign him up for a couple if years and increase his value it makes perfect sence!"
Have a day off will you!
You seriously think Arsenal only offered Theo a contract, just so his value would increase?
And why on earth would Theo leave so soon after on extending his stay. If he was that desperate to go, regardless on which club is after him, then he would've gone last season.
I truly believe that this coming season will be a productive one, in terms of trophy wins.
And here's me thinking that it was just Spurs fans who are thick!
Agree0

If a club put up 25-30 for Theo. I'd take it.

To be honest I really can't see him being at any other club

Various sources reporting a combined £62m swoop for Higuain, Gundogan and Lars Bender. While I can see the Higuain deal happening, I can't see the other 2 coming over to the Emirates. Gundogan is an essential component of the Dortmund lineup, while Bender is being looked at by all the top European clubs.
My guess is more media mischief.

I would cry if this happened would be a waste of money when there are better players avalible like rooney alonso and ozil

It would be Higuain and one of the two. Gundogan is not available, who said Ozil is available?
Alonso hasn't extended his contract but he will not join us and is a different type of player, he is literally an improved Arteta.

Arsenal plan to make three club record breaking bids this week for Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain, 25, Borussia Dortmund midfielder Ilkay Gundogan, 22, and Bayer Leverkusen midfielder Lars Bender, 24.
I mean holy 5h1t I have seen some crazy rumours already this summer but where do they get this stuff from.
Appreciate most of us would carry these guys across the channel to get them here but really really.
The papers must have some kind of rota they use between them in relation to what player the can link to any particular club on any given day.
