Arsenal and Cesc. well it's complicated and this will run right up to Sept 1

Barca still not made their mind up about him, and in return want Kos.

Higuain is done. Rooney possibly.

No I for one don't want Koscienly to join Barca or Bayern at all he is our inform defender and a classy player. We must use the money they owe us from Fab's sale to negotiate him rejoining us not give them our most coveted CB.

Hope I can and all other gunners want to believe this.

Totally agree. Time to tell Barca that our days as their feeder club are over. No more players whatever the circs even if that means running contracts down to zero. Get money owed by them as a matter of priority. Their business ethics stink. I would rather we told Barca to stuff trying to unload Fabregas than let them start their unsettling tactics on Kos.
Wenger has to realise that allowing such a transfer could be the one to finally break their fans' hearts.

I for one believe that cesc could come back without koss going the other way, they owe us money for the transfers of song and cesc still, and I do believe that the higuain deal will go though and that if the intrest in Rooney is as strong as it seems to be I think he could also join if we are willing to pay his wages as I don't see him going abroad

Firstly If we sign higuian, why would rooney come and play at arsenal the only reason he wants to leave is for a cf role we have giroud and hopefully higuian so he would have the same chance at arsenal if getting that role. Secondly kos is not going anywhere its nonsense, all this has come from his agent saying that "kos is on bayern e and barcas short list of players" probably trying to get a pay rise for kos though let's not forget kos signed an extension not long ago so he is contracted down till 2017! Most likely if any centre back is to go it may be vermaelen as he only has 2 years left if I'm not mistaken

Fabregas isn't leaving Barca. End of.

8.) 18 Jun 2013
Wrong.

Cesc is almost nailed on.

Higuain is being gun-jumped by media.

Rooney is done.

9.) 18 Jun 2013
If someone could give any evidence for any of their outrageously confident claims, it would be most welcome.

10.) 18 Jun 2013
Do we need Cesc??
he could end up sitting on our bench
you cannot drop Santi or Jack and for me I want to see the Ox given his chance to shine next year just like Cesc was given his chance 6yrs ago and if the Felliani rumours are true (odds 8/11 to come to afc) then we there is no need to sign him.
Also I little bit of me says he has already jumped ship and we have moved on.

11.) 18 Jun 2013
Cesc is better than ALL of the players you named, if he came he would go straight into the team. WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT.

Everyone keeps mentioning about various midfielders possibly coming and who we already have but I have not seen tomas rosicky' name mentioned once. For the last two seasons he has returned from injury towards the end of the season and has made arsenal almost unstoppable with his quality and will power if we keep him fit for the season the spurs will get nowhere near us next season!

"Cesc is better than ALL of the players you named, if he came he would go straight into the team. WITHOUT A SHADOW OF DOUBT"

maybe or maybe not
Santi is very close
Jack is very close and will be better
The Ox could be the best of the lot
the point is these guys want to play for AFC and have no other 'DNA'
oh and let's not forget Rosicky who without his injuries is as good as Cesc

14.) 18 Jun 2013
A Rooney deal isn't 'done' and won't be ever. Cesc will remain at Barca' unless they decide to sell him, Higuain is Wenger's priority signing and looking more and more likely.

15.) 18 Jun 2013
"Wrong.
Cesc is almost nailed on.

This is ridiculous. If any of those 3 are signing it'll be Higuain.

People need to take their Cesc tinted glasses off. Yes he is a very good player, but we do not need him. We need a defensive midfielder and a goal scorer. A goalkeeper would be nice too.

16.) 18 Jun 2013
"Jack is very close and will be better" - doubt it
The Ox could be the best of the lot - doubly doubt it

17.) 18 Jun 2013
Please don't start undervaluing the ability and talents of Cesc Fabregas just because he left Arsenal. When he was on form in the Prem who was better? He had the most passes and assists and he got goals. Do you remember when Arsenal were down 1-0 Cesc came on injured scored one and set up the other and came of in about 20 minutes. He is world class. Barcelona were begging for him, he has won nearly everything as a player, and please tell me you saw his pass against Uruguay, pure class. He was Arsenal's best player and keeps Cazorla out of the squad for Spain. He is world class, Wilshere just needs to add some goals and more assists to his game to be more complete like Cesc but Wilshere is not yet world class but will most definitely be.

My point about Cesc is that he is worldclass because at a young age he was given the opportunity and as a 20yr season ticket holder I see a similar path and ability with both Jack and The Ox and would much prefer these guys (jack and ox) to be the main stay of Arsenal.
oh and one last point for you to believe Jack won't be as good as Cesc would lead me to believe you are a poor judge of football talent (could be a job at Newcastle as Director of Football for you)
