but wouldnt you prefer to believe that the propects being mentioned just.......and I stress 'just' might make themselves established, thus causing themselves to no longer refered to as an 'unknown' but a very much 'known'
we still have a few days to July first, when we believe we may hear the first news but we even further still till the end of the transfer window.......so best to wait and see
im just saying what the General cenus is on here, not that id not give them a chance. I mean Were not that far away from winnning the league, id like to see that quality that can win us the league not potential.
id have no problems with Rick Alvrez if we signed quality palyers to go with him and others.
We've had enough of 'prospects' for the time being. We need proven established players to drag this Club out of the cycle of comfortable underachievement.
Not sure why people are buying the transfer window opens on 1st July fallacy. The transfer window in England opens the day after the last day of the English football calendar. Therefore Arsenal could have started buying from English and all teams outside Europe from that date.
The transfer window in France, Germany, Italy, Spain and Scotland opens on 1st July. I expect Arsenal will announce a rake of signings from those countries from next Friday.![]()
The one positive of the potential Alvarez transfer is that other teams would appear to be interested too. There's a little comfort in that.
http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...06146,00.html?Inter Milan are attempting to hijack Arsenal's move for Velez Sarsfield starlet Ricardo Alvarez with a €12million bid.
The highly-rated Argentine midfielder has been strongly linked with Arsene Wenger's side and, until now, Arsenal had been clear favourites for his signature.
The North Londoner's are believed to have tabled a bid worth €10million (£8.9million), with the 23-year-old destined for Europe this summer.
Argentine outfit Velez are holding out for around €15million, but will have been encouraged by Inter's offer, which propels the Italians to the front of the queue.
Alvarez's agent, Marcello Simonian, refuses to divulge which club is his client's preferred choice, but said: "I can only say that the footballer is prepared to play at a big European club."
