Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

We ain't seen nothing yet...

Assuming those bids are indeed real (i'm sceptical), we know we won't get Suarez so it's a safe bid, upping our bid for Higuain would probably secure him. This scenario would then require us to pay up and we're not keen on this.

Failed bids however look good to the fans and will allow us to secure cheaper players safe in the knowledge that people will believe we tried to make big signings.

Dunno about that, even die-hards would see through that one. We have created our own problems by making Arsenal not the desirable place it once was.

Just saw that ESPN had their 'Thierry Henry - Legends of the game' doc on, fuck sake

Pretty decent video:

Thing is they've done this before so it's nothing new, they've got not respect for the fans and consequently they don't expect any of them to catch on with what's going on, they think we're just some lemmings that will buy any cr*p.

I agree we're not as desirable as before, but let's face it if the bids for Suarez are real we know they are too low and that Liverpool aren't stupid enough to sell him to us considering they don't want to sell in the 1st place.

I personally can't see that we would be 22 million for a player, never mind 30 million.

Pretty gutted that Spurs are targeting Benteke - they'll probably get the deal done soon too. This is the kind of player we should be realistically going for. Someone who would love to play for us, has bags of talent, looks like he's gonna score every game and 19 prem league goals in his debut season for a struggling side wasn't too shabby...seriously, this guy could be as effective as Henry for us.. to me it's a no brainer...get him on board, then spend the xtra few million trying to secure Higuain. I just don't understand how Wenger can go on tour in Asia when there's so much to be done in terms of bringing in players.

this guy could be as effective as Henry

[Bergkampwonderland10]

YOu disagree I take it? No need to jump though

[GP]

You're putting a guy who's had 1 half decent season and already wants out on the same lever as our GREATEST EVER STRIKER!

Yes, I disagree.

[Bergkampwonderland10]

Fair enough, but Henry wasn't our greatest ever striker at 22 was he? stats wise - I think Benteke prob more effective at the same age...he looks to have a similar level of arrogance to Henry already, scores a variety of goals (not too many with head ala Henry) Knows how to curl a shot in, and seems an excellent target man - one of the best CF talents I've seen in a while...interesting how Belgium have both him and Lukaku coming through at the same time...I wasn't comparing him outright to Henry...but I do think should he stay with us - he could be a huge talent and as effective as Henry...
Think him and an in form walcott would be interesting to see.

well, lets hope you're as spot on with this prediction as you were with Nedum Onuoha..
