Ahh ok. Was hoping to see what puma would do, love some of their international kits. Hopefully Nike doesn't botch this years kit on purpose just to spite us for dumping them lol

Memories of Arteta deal.. Crying or Very sad

Sid Lowe said on ESPN Press Pass that Madrid want more than £23m. This saga is never going to end, is it?

It would not surprise me if we were never interested in Higuain and have no interest to sign anyone this summer because Wenger believe in our team.

Dude why are you knee-jerking so much ?

Both his father and his agent(his brother) have confirmed that negotiations are at an advanced stage and Arsenal are closest to him.

it's Arsenal... He has every right to knee jerk. The club has shown a propensity to mess things up when it comes to transfers.

Yep let Arsenal pay 40m for Higuain at once and continue to play with Arteta as DM.Makes sense Thumbs up

by RealGunner Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 15:31

Gonzalo Higuaín's move to Arsenal has been blocked by Real Madrid President Florentino Perez, until the Gunners offer €30m. (Sport.Es)

by EL Patron Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 15:40

Forget about him, lets go for Jovetic instead.

by RealGunner Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 15:42

Yea might as well. We can get Rooney for 30m ffs

I would understand not paying 3 more millions for a 2nd/3rd choice, but if Higuain is really a top priority then it would be stupid not to sign him because of that.

Remember Wenger asked for 2 more millions for van Persie, but United paid it and got their man.

I understand but is he really worth that price ??, we could easily get Jovetic for a cheaper price and chuck in Villa as well :coffee:

I honestly have no idea why Arsenal bought Sanogo. Good athlete, strong... but so, so bad at finishing. His technique is very suspect to me. It's like buying Giroud, but less technical and worse finishing Laughing

he still has time to improve on the technical side of things, he is only 20

by Adit Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 17:22

Cavani went to PSG.

Now City,Arsenal and Chelsea have only three remaining and that are Higgy,Jovetic and Gomez.

So Madrid is certain that one club will definitely come after Higuain for any price.

If he isn't good enough, will be sold for a profit lol. But A lot of time to improve

Probably because he came for a low price, is on low wages, and being a young talent there's a chance he can become a decent player if not great for Arsenal.

There's little risk, so it's worth a try. If it doesn't work out it's not a big deal.

I agree I'm not saying it's a fair price for a want away striker who's been out of favour at Real Madrid, I'm just saying... if Wenger said to Gazidis and Law he wants Higuain we should pay 3 more million pounds and get him as early as possible and not try too much to get the best deal.

I was hoping to have some of our new signings in Asia, oh well...

by RealGunner Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 17:30

I know we have discussed this before, but Richards is up for sale at City.

Worth it?

by urbaNRoots Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 17:33

Can he play CB well? If he does, comes for a cheap price and won't hinder Hector Bellerin, then yeah... otherwise not really.

by RealGunner Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 17:36

Yea he is a CB/RB. Better at RB.

by urbaNRoots Sat 6 Jul 2013 - 17:44

I would rather stick with Sagna, get a natural CB and then use Jenkinson/Bellerin for RB positions in the long-term.

But the thing is, Arsenal takes a couple of these 2-4 mil transfers a year. You add that up over 3-4 years and you can buy a good player. There's a 10% chance at best that these gambles work out.

i can already tell you that Sanogo is going to have hard time unless he develops very drastically on the technique side.
