Re: Arsenal Rumours Thread

Who is the most realistic striker we can get this january? Suarez to Arsenal this january is never going to happen as Liverpool are doing great right now and they wont sell him to Arsenal because Arsenal are thier rivals. So who can we get this january?

by Sina Tue 17 Dec - 16:14:45

unless something extraordinary happens we know there aint any ideal target mid season so best leaving that for summer

for now someone experienced on loan+Sanabria!

Yaya was promised to get 1st team chances as well!

by Twoism Tue 17 Dec - 16:16:17

Realistic target this winter

- Benteke, Michu with some insane offer which I never want to.
- Marica, almost free and crap
- Amauri, please do Smile

( Should gondor Sansone if Wenger is smart)
- Morata, very unlikely
- Adebayor, offer him a hotdog and he will crawl back

To sum it up, we're *bleep* stuck with Bendy&Park £teammoney til summer

by MJ Tue 17 Dec - 16:40:50

I wouldn't want Benteke or Michu for anything over €15million. I'd rather take our chances with Sanogo, Bendtner, Sanabria,

The problem with this transfer window is that there arent many or any decent players available for us to buy. And those who are, they arent any improvement to what Giroud offers.

by Raptorgunner Tue 17 Dec - 18:01:14

When does the transfer window officially starts?

by RealGunner Tue 17 Dec - 18:02:55

1st jan

by Raptorgunner Tue 17 Dec - 18:08:48

If we are after anyone big I hope we sign him in the first week, no point waiting until last day to make a move. The rumors will not do us good if we wait too long.

by urbaNRoots Tue 17 Dec - 18:10:26

The thing is we could have been just fine if for the time he's been here Podolski would've learned something from a great coach like Wenger, the same way Giroud has learned a lot.

If he was just a bit more interested in learning the lone striker role he would've been our first choice striker, instead he will be lazy, continue to be nothing more than a squad player and earn his £100k/week until he moves back to his hometown club.

Someone as talented as him doesn't even need much coaching, just watch some Falcao vids ffs

Podolski + Walcott's movement + Giroud's hold/link up play would've been the perfect striker Sad

by MJ Tue 17 Dec - 18:16:33

I still believe in Poldi. What's 60 min per match for his 1st season really gonna show you anyway? There's more to come from him.

by Raptorgunner Tue 17 Dec - 18:25:03

Podolski is one of few players we have who can score from anywhere. He is a valuable player and will show his value soon. He did great first year even though he was playing through injuries.

Podolski+Ozil+Walcott= :bow:

Is Ryo off on loan somewhere?

Goal.com: Liverpool readying contract talks of €150,000 per week for Luis Suarez, Real Madrid prepared to bid in both January and summer for Uruguayan up to €60million.

by MJ Wed 18 Dec - 13:51:31

Wayne Veysey reports that Arsenal will send scouts to watch Atletico Madrid's next two matches, Diego Costa has a release clause of £32million.

We should be on that 200% come January 1st. bounce

by Chumlum Wed 18 Dec - 14:58:43

Even if Arsenal were willing to meet the release clause, what enticements would we have to offer Diego Costa in January? He'd be switching mid-season, from a team that is doing great at the moment. He'd leave a team that has an excellent shot at the CL quarterfinals to play for a club where he'd be cup-tied in Europe the rest of the season. Doesn't seem feasible. Next summer ... maybe. Depending on how things play out. But now?

Anyone know what kind of wages he's on with his new deal at Atletico Madrid?

by Sina Wed 18 Dec - 15:00:11

the way Arsene talked about him couple of months back you would think he knows him well enough and doesn't need extensive scouting

by Raptorgunner Wed 18 Dec - 15:45:50

Wayne Veysey is up to his usual donkey talk. Laughing

by MJ Wed 18 Dec - 15:58:22

Only thing I think we can offer are better wages. Atletico would not want to let him go obviously so I'm sure they'd try to match that.

If that was the case other teams would surly pay double the wages we would offer. Atletico has a great chance to win a trophy this year and they would hold on to all their top players.

by Sri Wed 18 Dec - 16:12:58

Guys, if there is a release clause, there isn't jack Atleti can do about it if some club meets it. Then it will come down to his decision, whether he wants a switch - which I don't consider likely anyway. So yeah.

by Raptorgunner Wed 18 Dec - 16:24:31

Just bid 20 to 30 mil for Lewandowski and get it over with. I am sure Lewandowski would love to join us? Laughing

Thing is, he'd be cup-tied if he joined in January. And we need a striker now, not in the summer. He's getting he dream move, big wages, the world's top team, no reason to join us especially in January.

@Sri, I don't think anyone doubts that it would entirely be up to Costa. In any case, all top strikers would prefer summer moves to avoid being cup-tied. Only one who wouldn't have that issue would be Suarez.

I think the latter issue was exactly what we were talking about. (Edit: whoops, missed MJG saying the same thing. My bad.)

by EL Patron Wed 18 Dec - 17:40:27

There is no way Atletico Madrid will sell Costa at the moment, they are doing well and are involved in the title race. We could probably try a cheeky loan bid for David Villa, i think he'd be tempted.
