If Balotelli comes at the expense of Campbell then we'd need to make yet ANOTHER signing on top of the ones we already need. Don't get rid of Campbell AW!
Some Italian website was reporting last night that Milan would sell Balotelli for €25/30 million and that negotiations were advanced wth Arsenal.It was in Italian so I translated but that seemed to be the gist
We have enough Campbell type players (Walcott, OXO, Gnarby) to be honest so the trade would be more than worth while. Add to the fact he is still an unproven EPL player too.
Yeh I read something along those lines today and they even wanted a possible Campbell throw in deal. Not sure how much of that is true but there seems to be interest in Balo. I'd rather have him than Mandukic, as he is similar to Giroud, Balo would offer that bit special up front.
It's silly season for transfer rumours at the moment.A few days ago Vermaelen had agreed to join Man Utd,today he says it's untrue
Here's the link: http://metro.co.uk/2014/06/19/ac-mi...t-with-costa-rica-star-joel-campbell-4767803/ No quotes whatsoever so reliable as always. It's a mind blower too... you're telling me that if we gave them a player they'd knock money off Balotelli? There was I thinking they'd keep the price the same.
keep Campbell!! I have a good feeling about him. i know he's unproven, and young, and raw, but...I like him.
The story about Balotelli is on tuttomercatoweb.com.It's in Italian and if you translate it,it reads a bit like pidgin English
No we've all but got the nonsense f this England shenanigans out of the way I can feel myself being dragged back into the transfer madness! I do feel it unlikely that anything is happening with Mario just yet as, unlike England, Italy are still well in the World Cup. It is a deal which makes a lot of sense as: We can afford him (not many could) He's played here (England) before He's unhappy in Italy Would be our no.1 striker which is important to him AC need to sell some players I want it to happen... Thing is, Higuain also made a lot of sense and we ballsed that up too. I'd be ecstatic if we signed Mario but I won't count my chickens just yet as we've been stung so many times before.
I know there are some fans who want to slag Arsenal off over the Higuain deal, but as things stood last summer, the club made what should have been a legally binding bid for Suarez which Liverpool ****ed us over on. That said, you would hope Arsenal make sure that they get their man this summer.
Liverpool turned our offer down 5 weeks before deadline day and several days before Higuain moved to Napoli. No excuse for not getting a striker in.
