[EL Patron]

Probably just Wenger signing a new deal, I will be surprised if we do any business this early.

[urbaNRoots]

If Arsenal got Toulalan, a ton of fans would say things like "he's way past 30" [he's actually 29], "no resale value," "we need someone bigger," and so on.

[REWB]

Gianelli Imbula looks incredible against marseillie

[Raptorgunner]

English Premier League clubs will enjoy revenue boost of almost 25% next season thanks to a glut of lucrative new television deals

Come on Wenger, now or never.

[urbaNRoots]

who needs Kondogbia,when we can have Imbula?

dat change of pace

[<(^^,)>]

Heard Kondogbia is a sort of immature a la M'Vila.And further in the FFW website one of his mentioned weaknesses is his IMMATURITY.

And with half his contractual rights with Doyan(?) group,I hope we steer clear of Kondogbia.The last thing a club like Arsenal,desperate to win trophies would want is attitude issues.

We are IMO better off with Capoue,Ginter or probably Imbula as well.

Since people here are on about youngsters signing for Arsenal,What do you think about Kurt Zouma,Matej Vydra and Son as potential arsenal signings this season?

[JGUNZ]

as an ACF fan , ive been quite patient this past decade. I ve bought into the whole stadium building plan and being financially responsible even thought at time i felt that the board is flat out stingy.. I ve seen some of my favorite palyers leave, some with good merrit... i ve had some agonizing moment i.e , koscielny backpass vs bir, van persie chip vs barcelona, bendtner miss a few years back... but now my patience is running out fast, i need to see some ambition from AFC, realistically, i want Jojo, Rooney, capoue/imbula/gonalons, and Grenier . It is time to start thinking and acting like a BOSS

Learn all about Matthias Ginter, Arsenal's teenage Bundesliga target
By Ross Dunbar

The 19-year-old Freiburg holding midfielder or defender is in Arsene Wenger's sights, so Ross Dunbar told us all about him




Matthias Ginter is regarded as a jewel off the recurring SC Freiburg conveyer belt.

He has adapted seamlessly to the frenzied nature of the Bundesliga - a contrast to his humble education at the Freiburg Academy.

Ginter’s talents were recognised by the DFB in 2012 who awarded him the prestigious U18 Player of the Year award named after German legend Fritz Walter.

Given his prominent rise to first-team football, it was a deserved feat – and another landmark achievement for the humble club of the Black Forest.

At the same time as the Perestroika-like turnaround in German youth football at the turn of the millennium, Freiburg invested around 9m EUR into a brand-new academy in their picturesque surroundings.

“SC Freiburg have great visions, but both feet on the floor,” remarked FC Bayern’s Uli Hoeness at the opening of the school. “There is exemplary talent and the patrons are the same as for one another. That impresses me.”

Freiburg are proud of their “Training Club” status in German football: the first club to do so in the early 1900s.

Their comprehensive youth scouting network brings in more than 600 children for Freiburg’s regional trial days, and a young 10-year-old Ginter made a firm impression.

“I can still remember very well how I was able to play for the club as a ten year old and how excited I was there.” He told Spox.com

A year later, he swapped local club SV March for the Freiburg Football School and progressed from U12 to first-team.

On the way, he already came across Streich who had been a youth coach at U15 and U16 level. “My brother had previously told me some funny stories about him. He's just very emotional and very honest and straight forward.” He added.

Things were swimmingly well at youth level for Freiburg and Ginter; clinching the South-Baden Cup at U15, U17 and U19 level and being German champions twice.

Meanwhile, former coach Streich was promoted to take charge of an ailing and lacklustre first-team with Freiburg five points adrift at the bottom of the Bundesliga.

Aged just 17, Ginter was invited to the winter training camp in Spain and two days after his 18th birthday, he marked his first fleeting appearance, as an emergency striker, with a significant winning goal against FC Augsburg.

It sprung some life back into the Black Forest side who ended the season in a comfortable position, as the youngster racked up 13 appearances.



Despite his relative striking prowess – he scored 14 in 25 U19 games for 2010/11 – his days at the forefront of the attack were over.

In a uniquely Freiburg confidence in youth, Streich opted to switch Ginter’s position to a defensive-minded player, using his sound technical ability to good effect.

Ginter reflected: “It sounds weird for many, perhaps, because most want to play as aggressively as possible, however it suits me best in central defence. I can see that now. In this position, I see my future,”

Since then, the 19-year-old has been an anchor of the back-four with 23 league appearances over the 2012/13 campaign.

His versatility has been invaluable to Champions League-chasing Freiburg, being used sparingly in the “No.6” defensive-midfielder role.

Streich’s exuberance on the touchline reflects the ferocity of Freiburg’s pressing strategy, which is more advanced 4-4-2 approach.

Ginter’s physique and robust defensive mode complements an adept change of pace, reading of the game and suiting the higher defensive line.

As reported this morning, Arsenal have been keeping tabs on the teenager and will watch further at the U21 European Championships in Israel.

But given the number of confirmed departures already, including Jan Rosenthal to Eintracht Frankfurt, Max Kruse to Gladbach and Daniel Caligiuri to Wolfsburg, Streich will be unwilling to let go potentially the mainstay of his side this summer.

“He has a contract here for many years,” Streich told regional newspaper Badische Zeitung.

He went on to refute suggestions the 19-year-old will be leaving Freiburg after helping them secure a place in next season’s UEFA Europa League.

At £5m, Ginter would be a really smart investment for Arsenal and he has been immersed in a background that would ease the transition to London.
