Never heard that before.

then at the end of the window never heard that we could not find anyone of top top top quality before either.

followed by we offered X (70% of value) for player Y but we were outbid.

I'm expecting to see this next week, Xavi-style:

Jack Wilshere: "I spoke to Jojo in Ibiza and he said he was suffering because he wanted to come. It's more like, he did everything he could to come and wants to leave Fiorentina - although he made it clear that now everything depends on the selling club."

Quick everyone! buy tons and tons of white and red roses and some boxes of chocolate with letters of poetry attached to the side and sign them "love, arsenal fans" and send them to jovetic, and Ill go stand outside his window holding up a boom box playing " in you're eyes" by Peter Gabriel

Mail: 20-year old Guingamp defensive midfielder Gilbert Imbula is being monitored by Arsenal - http://bit.ly/10LK3tS

Mirror: Arsenal are convinced that Stevan Jovetić will join if they can secure top four place. Club prepared to pay £100k p/w http://bit.ly/YzGGtA

Imbula is a boss on Fifa, I used him like Yaya and he dominated.

According to Marca, Porto's Jackson Martinez has a €28million release clause. If Jovetic doesn't happen we should have a look at this beast hmm

€28m

by Chumlum Sat May 11, 2013 2:41 pm

Here's a good report on Martinez that I remember from last summer - i.e. before he joined Porto and scored 25 in 27 there.

http://liverpoolscout.com/2012/06/25/jackson-martinez-goal-scoring-analysis/

I'm actually surprised at the €28 million number, because I thought just recently there were reports about clubs trying to get him and I thought bidding was going to start even higher ... at any rate I never expected Arsenal to go after him but if possible: Twisted Evil

how do porto keep on finding these great strikers ffs? we need to start scouting south america more like them.

It sounded like we were really close to signing Falcao a few years back before Porto even went in for him, but in the end, we opted against it

http://www.caughtoffside.com/2013/05/11/arsenal-reach-agreement-to-sign-18-6m-real-madrid-striker-gonzalo-higuain-according-to-spanish-reports/

So we've reached a personal terms agreement with Higuain? Probably BS. But great deal if true.

by REWB Sat May 11, 2013 9:22 pm

higuin wouldn't be my pic, he is very average on the ball imo. i dont think he suits our style

by VendettaRed07 Sat May 11, 2013 9:48 pm

Yeah, I'd still much prefer Jovetic (or Rooney Razz

) But I wouldn't complain if we bought him.

by RedOranje Sat May 11, 2013 11:50 pm

CaughtOffside is less reliable than Goal.com, to be fair.

by RealGunner Sat May 11, 2013 11:51 pm

Yea, They took that higuain story from sport.es which was reported 2 days ago.

by Chumlum Sun May 12, 2013 12:02 am

Hilarious how there are all these simultaneous reports of Juve and Arsenal both reaching some kind of agreement with/about Higuain.

People on Twitter seemed to be talking a lot about Rooney the past few hours - was the rumor highlighted on MOTD or something? Has there been some other newspaper report today/tonight?
