As we know, when teams get relegated from the premier league, all or most of their good players leave them. that got me thinking, which players from the teams in danger of relegation could be good signings for Arsenal? I have only included the bottom 5, as they are the ones in real danger: 16. Blackburn - 25 Pts Junior Hoilett - 21 years old; fast, two-footed, tricky winger with an eye for goal; out of contract in the summer so lots of interest Steven N'Zonzi - 23 years old; big, strong defensive midfielder who is doing fairly well; would hamper Frimpong and Coquelin's development Martin Olsson - 23 years old; fast, attacking LB or LM; needs work on his defensive side of the game 17. Bolton - 23 Pts Stuart Holden - 26 years old; central midfielder who was immense for Bolton last season, has been injured almost all of this one though 18. QPR - 22 Pts Adel Taarabt - 22 years old; attacking midfielder who is very skilful, but quite lazy and selfish 19. Wolves - 22 Pts Wayne Hennessey - 25 years old; goalkeeper who has saved Wolves on many occasions, wood be good competition for Szczesny Matt Jarvis - 25 years old; winger who was amazing last season and decent this; got an england cap, probly not good enough 20. Wigan - 20 Pts Victor Moses - 21 years old; fast winger like Hoilett Personally, I would go for Martin Olsson, Junior Hoilett/Victor Moses and Wayne Hennessey.
Moses, Hoilett and Hennessey be fine if we can get them on small wages and if we manage to sell out current squad deadwood to make room for them.
Moses just scored. Wigan look really sharp going forward. Some very good players. We could raid them for 1 or 2 who would help us. They will go down obviously but they do have some young talent.
Taarabt? really? you would regret that..i dont doubt his skill..but he will want the same treatment as RVp with only a fraction of RVP's return in goods..if that. El Habsi is class and would be even better behind a good team.
I have never felt Blackburn would go down. If Wolves go I'd really like Wayne Hennessey or Steven Fletcher. Diame at Wigan would do as well.
Taraabt will never make it in the Prem, can't keep the ball and look up at the sametime so all that great skill and technique he showed in the Championship, you'll never see him do against a top team in the Premiership. Not on a regular basis, atleast. Plus you'd be lining our pockets, we get about 40% of the transfer fee apparently. I quite like N'Zonzi, he'd do well at a big team, Hoilett too. Not sure about Moses, never been too impressed with him but he is improving. Al Habsi's a quality 'keeper, I'd happily have him first choice at Spurs next season.
Sorry, but all of these players are at relegation clubs for a reason. It is much easier for a goalkeeper to look good when they are shipping goals right left and centre, no pressure at all. If we go shopping at relegated clubs, we will end up with players as crap as Parker.
