that's definitely more reassuring that wondering why a grown man is so immersed in education for 13 year olds.Quote:

Sign them both, that would be good.
No chanceQuote:
ARSENAL will take on Real Madrid this week with a £35million bid for Liverpool striker Luis Suarez.
Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is ready to spend big to land the bad-boy Uruguayan.
But Suarez, 26, who is serving a 10-match ban for biting Chelsea’s Branislav Ivanovic, is also wanted by new Madrid boss Carlo Ancelotti.
Arsenal already have a £23m deal in place for Real striker Gonzalo Higuain.
But Wenger has not pushed that through because he believes Suarez would be a better buy than either Higuain or Wayne Rooney.
Liverpool boss Brendan Rodgers wants to keep 30-goal hotshot Suarez, who signed a new £120,000-a-week contract only last year.
But Suarez revealed in yesterday’s SunSport that he wants to play Champions League football.
Liverpool want £40m for a player who cost £22.8m from Ajax in 2011.
Arsenal have yet to make an official bid. But that will change this week as Wenger wants to team Suarez with Jack Wilshere and Theo Walcott.

If any of that's true (and it's not because it's the Sun) Higuain should already be here. Let's say by some miracle we sign Suarez when Real want him. Why are they then going to let Higauin go? They must want another striker on the books if they are after Suarez. Way to play this is get Higuain in and then hijack the Suarez deal.
Mind you, crazy even talking about this because we aren't getting either. We aren't even getting Grant Holt because he's signed up for someone else now. Who's that other guy, Bent? Is he still available? Might as well get him. Or Crouch.
Wenger has ruined my life!
We will always have that dude from Burnley.
Charlie Austin I think
let's face it, we're not going up against real madrid at all for his signature. I would be surprised if they hit the market anymore after spending £60mill or so this summer, if anything they will sell and/or get in a cheaper striker.
and in this fantasy world of suarez coming to arsenal, what I haven't seen mentioned is his atrocious discipline record. he is already missing two months of next season without taking into consideration he will fuck up again and miss more - wherever he goes. talented little **** racist scumbag player but literally not worth the investment. if rvp couldn't elevate us playing every game in a season, what is a guy who plays 20 games going to do?
Good point!Quote:

Same point can be extended to ANY striker we bring in. We don't need one striker, we need two. In fact we need four top quality signings this window if we really are going after the title. Which we aren't. One signing to keep the fans happy is what we'll get. Maybe. I still don't put it past them to blag it out again and sneak through to close without a significant signature.Quote:

So give it up fella, we ain't signing one or two strikers. You know it, i know it, we all know it
Well considering the Sun says we're signing Rooney, Suarez and Higuain it looks like you are wrong.Quote:

Na, there's this bloke, currently leading scorer and leading assists with the New York Red Bulls, Thierry something. He could be worth a sneaky mid-season loan bid i reckonQuote:

On Higuain vs Suarez, it's as much about who suits our gameplan as it is about quality.
In playing Theo and Pod, we have two wingers who both want to be centre forward. They play pretty narrow, always looking to cut inside and score rather than go outside and cross.
A CF who drops deep and plays people in just fits better. And watching Jovetic it's obvious why we were linked. Jovetic is exactly that kind of player.
The perception is that Suarez is that type of player as well. I don't think he is.
Last season he only got 5 assists, Giroud got 7 and started 13 fewer games.
Suarez wants to take all the shots and make all the dribbles himself, he is greedy and, as Maccy points out, wasteful.
Playing with more creative wide men, including but not limited to, Cazorka, Choxlade or even lolGervinho with Higuain is the way I would prefer to go.
Do we want to keep playing that way? The old "no men in the box" routine that has frustrated us all so thoroughly?
Really? So ANY signing is almost guaranteed to bite an opponent or something equally brainless at any point or/and likely to get a 4+ game ban during an important stage in the season due to a disciplinary?Quote:

Seriously? There's a reason why he's worth less, and thats because he's not as good. Simples.Quote:

Not sure there will be much of a reaction at all. Why do you think there might be? Isn't everyone used to these players not coming to Arsenal?Quote:

That's what usually happens when we "miss" out on targets the press have mentioned before without any real evidence of actual interest.
But to clarify, I'm not particully happy with how slow business is being done, I'm not going to lose my shit over every player Who is linked to us not signing for us because there is so much bullshit out there. However, I still believe club will sign and sign big players so missing out on some of these players is because we have better and bigger targets in mind. I'm quite nervous the club won't fulfil this promises but at the moment I still believe they will, but come beginning of season if no new signings in place, then I will get angry with them
ok.Quote:

Manure have just put in a e30 mil bid for Cesc.
omg it's breaking news!
Yup it's on the BBC website now:
http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/0/football/23316448
Barca have already lost one midfielder, doubt they'll be willing to see another go.
30m :haha:
Moyes :haha:
Hope this happens
If united want him, it will cost them 60/70 million for barca just to make any profit on cesc given we have 50% sell on clause.
Also apparently any bid triggers our 25 million buy back clause. Cesc to united? Behave
30m euros is a fair offer IMO. Think Barca are trying to raise money for Thiago Silva. An outside chance but it'll be interesting for us if Barca do get into a position where they want to sell. According to pretty much all reports (I know...) we have a £25m first option (pretty much what man Utd have on the table).Quote:
