Re: Summer Transfer Rumour Thread Pt. 7

[S]

So Giroud is a backup now ?

[RealGunner]

Wouldn't read into those reports. Wenger hismelf said that he is after a defender and a Midfielder.

We have Giroud, Chamakh, Podolski, Gervinho and Walcott to play upfront. Don't see us buying Llorente at all

[S]

Could that club from London possibly be Chelsea ?

I mean Torres looked horrible the other day and they have the funds to make another big splash.

Well that seems to be the thing in the top EPL teams. Get multiple strikers who should be starting. Both Manchester teams have like 5 starting strikers a piece.

I think Llorente should come to Arsenal just to give us depth and we gives us an option of who to play on a given day.

If RVP had stayed, he would have been a backup anyway, he came here while we still had him and were trying to keep him so it isn't like we signed him promising he was going to be our number 1 starting option all the time

Yep, Chelsea are still after a striker since Torres is the only one they have

Most likely this. I would rather get another RB and a DM than him anyway as much as I would like to have him.

RG, would you really believe what AW says to the media?

Personally, I don't care about another striker though.. Would rather see some quality being added to midfield and full back roles..

[RealGunner]

Really wanted Kevin Mirallas before he went to Everton tbf

[S]

Kinda frustrating reading these reports tbh if true.I hope for Juve's sake ,City try to sign Llorente since it could free us up for Dzeko.

[urbaNRoots]

Would love to have another striker to come from the bench and not Chamakh/Park, but that player can't be Llorente obviously.

I stil think we should tbh. Just the thought of Giroud getting injured or something and missing an extended period of time makes our striker situation pretty scary. Sure those guys can probably come off the bench or play a game starting and being effective. But a long string of games our offense would be a disaster imo. So if we don't invest in a top class striker like Llorente that would most likely make Giroud his back up we should look into a quality striker that can come off the bench.

Milan clubs keen on Quagliarella’

Both Milan clubs have shown an interest in Fabio Quagliarella, but the forward wants to remain with champions Juventus.

The attacker has been linked with a move away from Turin and his agent has confirmed that the San Siro sides have been monitoring him.

“There is interest from Inter, while there has only been a conversation with Milan,” agent Giuseppe Bozzo told Sport Italia.

“Fabio, however, would like to remain at Juve in order to keep winning with the Bianconeri.”

A Quagliarella-Giampaolo Pazzini swap was being mentioned before the Antonio Cassano-Pazzini exchange with Milan developed.

The 28-year-old scored four goals in 23 League games for the Old Lady in the last campaign.

from a bayern forum cant say its 100% true

Rummenigge: "Lawyers are currently working on the legal and tax issues."

[Great Leader Sprucenuce]

Maybe Douglas is just a huge fan of Michael Jackson?

Money aside a genuinely think the only reason he would consider them is because Jol is there and Jol has quite a big pull for Eredivisie based players.

But tbh we should get him and the reports coming out this morning seem to suggest that.

Douglas and Debuchy ( who we are still chasing) would make this an A+ window.

I guess they have it from Spox.com.

BTW, it appears as if Chelsea haven't given up trying to pry Schürrle away from Bayer yet either.
