Summer Transfer Speculation and Shit

[Cripps_orig]

Suarez is better than that **** tbh

[Niall_Quinn]

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?

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.

Wenger post match conference on Olivier Giroud…
"I like Olivier very much. He had his first year, he scored 17 goals in all competitions and he needed to adapt. I am sure he will be even stronger next season."

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.

We should put in a bid for RvP. He seems like a decent striker.

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 reckon

Real can have Gnasher, we'll take Hig. Simples.

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?

Too much baggage, we got enough troubles as it is.

[Penguin]

spot on

not 10-15m better. not in a different league. pretty much the same player but higuain has no baggage, has cheaper wages and costs less.

only charlie's would disagree.

time to close the higuain deal.

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