Re: The 2011 Summer Transfer Rumours Thread

[Jay29]

We'll just have to wait and see what happens. A comment on the story claims Seydoux's quotes are "two weeks old", but then the report on that French website was published yesterday.

So yeah, lots of contradictory stuff being thrown about, such is the fun and games of the transfer window.

[Spider]

Vucinic Or Grivinho ?

Media, media. - Used to it now. Same BS every transfer season. With a lack of things to report, they just start reading more into every story. They need to sell their papers afterall!

Bendtner - Thing is, he is still 23. If he put his head into developing as a player, then he'd probably be as good as RvP by the time he is 27-28.

[Jay29]

And this keeps getting better:

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."

Jay, did you just compile that list? :O

[Sri]

Wow.. July 1st can't come any faster!

[Jay29]

Naa, I copied it from another forum. It's been compiled over the duration of the summer.

There's 42 players in that list. Makes you wonder if the papers have a raffle or something to decide which names gets linked with us next.

[Sri]

Lol.. Silly season indeed!

[A Gunner]

Can't wait for July 1st would be a shocker if we don't announce anyone.

[Raptorgunner]

Once Arsenal is interested in a player the whole world wants that player.

[RealGunner]

i feel like beating a dead horse saying this but

we are suppose to be talking with bolton about cahill atm


sigh

lol what more surprising is the fact that you forgot joe barton

[Sushi Master]

That's normal. The funny thing is that we will most likely sign someone not even on the list of 1000 players

I'd love me some Benzema, though...

[Raptorgunner]

I think these players were link to Arsenal also.
Kwadwo Asamoah
Jose Manuel Jurado
Alexander Milosevic

Emilio Izaguirr
Yann M'Vila
Pepe Reina
Philippe Mexes
Neven Subotić

Hugo Rodallega-
Mamadou Sakho
Kévin Gameiro

[RealGunner]

We have joined the race for mata

according to daily fail, but the news broke out in spain though

u never know

[Jay29]

Mata would be a wonderful signing.

Isn't the price something like £20,000,000?

[Sri]

Spanish media => Meh!

[RealGunner]

Mata would be a wonderful signing.

Isn't the price something like £20,000,000?

18m is the reported fee


wenger did leave us a bit shocked with reyes once. Can he do it again ?

[Jay29]

I'd pay out the extra few million for Mata instead of buying Gervinho and Alvarez.

Shame that Wenger probably doesn't feel the same way.

The only thing I dont like about spanish players is that, they start to feel home sick, the french players feel right at home. The good thing about mata would he is great player and could be good for Cesc.

[edulfc]

so you guys haven't signed any players yet?????

[lenear1030]

ESPN soccernet says we just bid for Mata.....

18 mil


http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/930513/arsenal-launch-bid-for-juan-mata?cc=5901


soccernet is pretty reliable too



edit: i know you guys dont like them but daily mail was on it too

[Jay29]

The prospect of it excites me, but I'm very sure that nothing serious will materialise.

In all likelihood, Valencia will demmand more money which Livepool would pay but we wouldn't. Or maybe City will decide to cockblock everyone and bit a ridiculous fee for him, which could be possible if they don't get Alexis Sanchez.

Might also be a tactic by Valencia to draw City into the bidding as they are locked in the Sanchez transfer.

Also isnt Gervinho practically a done deal?Surely u dont need another winger if u sign Gervinho?

[Jay29]

Nobody knows what's going on with the Gervinho deal. If you read back a couple of pages in this thread, you'll see why. We probably won't hear anything about it until July 1st at the earliest.

In any case, it seems we're willing to buy Alvarez alongside Gervinho and both deals are currently in doubt, so signing Mata along with one of them isn't too unrealistic (without considering expenditure, of course).
