Yes, definitely. Still a quality striker, his time at chelsea has been hot and cold, mostly cold, but he would be a really decent acquisition for Arsenal. He was the striker I'd always hoped we were going to sign when he was at Athletico, but Liverpool snapped him up. I think he always wanted to sign for Arsenal back then, maybe we could get him now ?
Di Maria is more than decent. I have a spanish gf whos family are Madrid supporters and he is very highly rated amongst them. Whenever i have seen him play he is top quality. He would really add something to our LWF position. He is of the top quality that we should be looking to bring in - he will improve our first team and thats what we want. Cabaye, Flamini, Guaita are all solid squad additions but Di Maria would be one of the special players we want to bring in. If we could get in a striker of top quality as well we will have a very strong looking squad. I'm perfectly happy with all the rumours and players we seem to be looking to try and sign at the moment, except Quag-whatever. Iam hoping we are in for a better striker, that is the spot im really interested to see what we do.
I reckon that we won't sign Di Maria, we'll probably sign Cabaye, we'll probably end up signing Salomon Kalou, and that'll be it. 2 signings, both very average players. Maybe we should do a deadline day sweepstakes thread?
Apparently we are willing to spend £30m on Mata but he has to hand in a transfer request for the deal to happen. (The twattersphere)
The Kalou rumours were purposefully made up by some Arsenal fan on Twitter. Unsurprisingly the Daily Mail ran with it a few hours later.
