[Niall_Quinn]

If would be Wenger and the board's best WUM yet if they do bugger all this summer.

Stop moaning!

[Herbert_Chapman's_Zombie]

Interesting transfer negotiation tactic, I must admit the intracacy of trying to sign a player without any communication with the club he is currently contracted to seems to elude my pedestrian mind.
Maybe we were going to sign him up and hope that Real Madrid not notice he was gone.
Either that or Jorge Higuain has premature dementia or is hearing voices
Anyway I think we can rubber stamp and file this in the dossier of players we almost signed, this deal is deader than Maddy McCann.

Can't really think of any other viable top strikers out there either. Bollox.

Can you increase a bid you never made?

Yup got to be him, he's probably brokered the deal, told Perez "sit the f*ck down" apparently when Perez told him he wasn't for sale.

[fakeyank]

We are 2% away from making a bid

Is it not safe to say that Perez is playing mind games after we tried to fuck with him and bid for Suarez?

What would saying we haven't bid achieve exactly?

There's no mind games here, just media BS nothing new.

[server too busy!]

Piss off the fans and put the board under pressure?

[Seymour Butts]

I cant see this being media BS - his father confirmed talks with Arsenal and I am sure had he just been trying to drum up additional interest Arsenal would have distanced themselves from any such quotes. It is a strange one though ill give you that! We find ourselves in this position all the time - I just dont understand why our transfer negotiations drag on and are always complicated. Every other club seems to be able to identify a player, agre a fee and get it done - simples

For all the frustration directed by the fans at the club (rightly so), there's a difference between mind games and outright lies. Obviously this bloke at Madrid is a grade 1 liar and has no problem with that. No wonder then it's difficult to deal with the scumbag.

Not quite right, the press confirmed his father confirmed talks with Arsenal, thus we don't know he confirmed talks at all.

If they were trying to drum up interest then they'd say Arsenal have bid x amount, telling us there's no bid isn't going to hurry anyone along.

This has been dragging on for ages as you say and apparently the fee had been agreed, contract had been agreed and he was ready to sign and was waiting for Ancelotti to ok it, which he apparently did. We've not heard a peep since and now Perez has come out and said no bid has been made and that they may decide to keep him.

Reckon this story is dead in the water, funnily enough papers are reporting the deal is in doubt today :lol: they've been caught out!

[Özim]

Piss off the fans and put the board under pressure?
The board don't feel under pressure, same thing has happened for the last x years, this is nothing new.

If Real want Suarez then they'd bid for him, as for the bid...apparently it's BS as well as Liverpool deny receiving a bid for him.

[LDG]

Not too early for his thread surely...

:ninja:

You should never be allowed to start a thread again :sulk:

[Xhaka Can’t]

I don't believe a word Perez says. I don't understand why anyone else would either.

I do find it funny how some people will take what some lying bastards print or say as gospel while discounting what other lying bastards say as bullshit.

It's better to discount it all as bullshit until events prove one way or another.

More importantly, wasting half your day trawling twitter, goal.com or any of the other moronic media hit seekers, whilst it's glorious outside, is fucking retarded.

[Özim]

Well seeing as this deal hasn't happened when it was suppose to be signed and sealed last week it's much more believable that we've not made any bids at all rather than we have bid 23 million.

This story did look pretty unbelievable in the 1st place, us spending 20 million plus on a top forward, the proof is in the pudding as they say, papers are well known for making up stories based on nothing rumours just so they can say "we we're the 1st to say this would happen" if by some chance a deal does go through.

Higuain hasn't come out and said anything about this deal throughout.

[LDG]

It has very much suited Arsenal to have this big old rumour doing the rounds for weeks though. Much like the Villa rumour in January. Suits them very nicely indeed.

Imagine the uproar if all we've signed in a one-legged french kid, and Gareth Barry :haha:

[Niall_Quinn]

Higuain hasn't come out and said anything about this deal throughout.

Which is exactly the way he should be handling it, nice to see a player who isn't shooting his mouth off and having temper tantrums in order to force a move or get more money.

No, you prefer to use them only when they back up what you've already decided.
If they don't then you say they're meaningless.
Otherwise you might have to reconsider your position, and you never do that.

What's it got to do with Hiddink?

Hiddink?
Hiddink doesn't think he should leave Real either, so he convinced him to stay.

Not sure how he knows Higuain but no matter, he's done a 180 thanks to him now, Ancelotti must be pleased.

Yep, and worringly I have a feeling we won't see anybody of note come in unless we do our business very soon.

This summer feels like a bunch of "youth" and "squad fillers" to me, the signings we need to make won't be made, AGAIN! :o

Liverpool are rumoured to be about to offer Suarez to Real in exchange for Higuain + cash, that'd be nice of them <_<

Why would Higuain want to go to Liverpool?

:shrug: why would anyone go to Liverpool? it's shit, Facht.

[GP]

It is shit, I'll give you that.

First and foremost they'll have to make somekind of bid. Nothing will happen if you don't, however long you sit there and wait.

[Cripps_orig]

On his way to Napoli.

[Özim]

We wasted our time putting no bid in.

[Niall_Quinn]

Strung the fans along for a good two weeks. Hardly a waste of time. Worked well. At one point I believed he was on the way. We never, ever learn.

[Özim]

I'm just concerned where he will play, with Rooney and Jovetic coming as well it doesn't leave much room? Maybe Jovetic or Rooney can play in the hole.

Oh yeah, can any of them play on the wing? They can't drop back further as Fellaini is there. Also that French bloke Grenier might feature in there.

seeing as they put torres on 200k i think its very plausible.

[Niall_Quinn]

ARSENAL target Gonzalo Higuain has asked for 48 hours to think over a £30million move to Napoli.
The Real Madrid striker — who has already agreed personal terms with Arsenal — wants to see whether the Gunners will raise their offer before committing himself to a move to Italy.
But Arsenal are unwilling to be drawn into a bidding war after believing they had agreed a £23m deal with Madrid.
Especially as they know the Spanish giants are planning to use the Higuain money to outbid them for Liverpool hitman Luis Suarez.
Reports in Italy claim that Napoli boss Rafa Benitez’s £30m offer for Higuain has been accepted by Madrid.
And there are growing concerns within Arsenal that they will be left empty-handed despite their promises of at least one stellar signing.
But they are not prepared to pay over the odds for Argentina star Higuain, 25, who has made it clear that he will be leaving the Bernabeu despite the arrival of Carlo Ancelotti as boss.
