Holtby for free is too good to let him go to our rivals.

Like raptor said, we could use him very well.

Btw, Hello fellas! :-)

Ramsey creates something like the 3rd or 4th highest amount of chances out of the whole squad. He is creative despite his flaws.

In any case, assuming we buy a holding player and Cazorla plays out wide, our midfield depth will look like this:

New Mid/Coquelin/Diaby --- Arteta/Ramsey

Wilshere/Rosicky

With the added option of Cazorla who can play in Wilshere's and Arteta's roles and Chamberlain who could probably play AMC for a couple of games.

Don't get me wrong, Holtby is really talented and a player I like, but a player like him isn't really a priority. We have plenty of creative players now and will do for the next couple of years; doesn't matter if Rosicky and Arteta are getting old, they aren't players reliant on their physical attributes and their intelligence will make up for that.

It's not even creativity we're lacking. We need better movement and productivity from our flanks and central striker, not from our midfield three. That's just a balance issue.

You can't just start signing players because they're going to sign for Spurs. What happens if we block Holtby's move but Spurs decided to sign Willian instead? Do we go and bid £25mil for Willian, too?

You just have to accept that Spurs can attract very good players now.

Wenger Knows Best ‏@wengerknowsbest
Negotiations with Theo are now down to just small small details. Like wages. And playing as a striker.

Wenger says he didn't try to sign Ba because of Giroud, increasing speculation of deal for versatile Adrian - http://bit.ly/VymEha

by Jay29 Thu 3 Jan 2013 - 23:45

Lots of people saying it isn't Fulham, though they apparently have an interest.

Don't think it's us. Sure we would've heard about it by now, with the deal supposedly at such an advanced stage.

Barcelona journalist @quimdomenech on Spanish TV right now. @BledMamba will tweet the "update" on David Villa as it comes.

Forren will go to Everton or Fulham from my understanding although he has been linked with us as well Laughing

And considering the NUFC board i post on has load of Scandinavian's i know a lot about him now he will be class signing for someone.

Can't wait to see Arsenal sign Iago Aspas and, on deadline day, a 17-year-old Tadjikistani playmaker. drunken

David Villa update:

Barcelona journalist @quimdomenech, speaking on @PUNTOPELOTA (Spanish sports programme) says David Villa WON'T be leaving Barcelona this month, as both the club are relecutant to let him go mid-season, and Villa's wife is heavily pregnant and doesn't want the stress of moving abroad right now. However, Arsenal have shown more interest in Villa than any other club, and the player likes the idea of signing for Arsenal, and living in London. Arsenal the favourites for his signature in the summer.

by RealGunner Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 2:48

I don't know if it's worth signing him in the Summer.

Cabella, Belhanda & Mbiwa from Montpellier already scouted by Arsenal. The possible target may depend on negotiations elsewhere.

Mbiwa recently said that his dream club is United.. So he is done :brickwall:

i would like to loan back Benayoun.. Btw he is injured i think.. I dont remember him playing for West Ham.. He may not be much me am upgrade but atleast is better to see his name on the bench than Gervinho and Ramsey..
M'vila.. How he is doing now in their team ?

This summer he could go for 15 milion at most. I think a player like Villa for 15 milion is worth buying even if it's for two seasons.

by furiouswindbottom Fri 4 Jan 2013 - 12:37

I think Sniejder is worth it. He's available for free according to many press sources. He's 28, top class and a 3 year contract would be the same as a 15m fee plus 100k per week. I agree that Villa is unlikely due to his wife's pregnancy but I would like a couple of WINNERS signed up. We don't have any at the moment!
