GOALKEEPERS * Gordon (Sunderland) 2M-4M (Probability - ??) Injury problems, ok if he's a back up option and looks like Almunia is a goner DEFENDERS * Cahill (Bolton) 17M (Probability - Likely) Overpriced but might be able to make the step up * Samba (Blackburn) 12M (Probability - Likely) Lacks some pace but the battling, PL experienced player we need right now * Jose Enrique (Newcastle) 8M (Probability - Not that likely) Clichy needs to be replaced but this isn't that much of an improvement MIDFIELDERS * Arturo Vidal (Bayern Leverkusen) 15M? (Probability - Small Chance) BUY HIM PLEASE!!! Having a good Copa America which will increase his fee * Juan Mata (Valencia) 20M+ (Probability - Decent Chance) Valencia have a release clause for him, his father saids there's interest from abroad * Stuart Downing (Velez) 15M-19M? (Probability - Decent chance) No time to adjust to the league, more direct play, but expensive for his talents * Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain (Southampton) 10M? (Probability - Decent chance) Supposedly made a 6M bid/enquiry? * Esteban Granero (Real Madrid) 12M (Probability - Unlikely) Don't know much about him, stats sounds pretty average STRIKERS * Gervinho (Lille) 10.5M (Probability - DONE DEAL?) Just waiting on a Visa ?? * Romelu Lukaku (Anderlecht) 18M+ (Probability - No Chance) Quality, next Drogba, but he seems to have his heart set on Chelsea...maybe with their new coach they'll get Falco, Hulk instead and we can get in there but doubt it * Hugo Rodallega (Wigan) 9M-10M - (Probability - Small Chance) Wenger has been linked with him for several seasons now, decent player without being world class, better than Bendtner but that's not hard * Benzema (Real Madrid) 25M - (Probability - Small Chance) Seemed he wasn't coming but with Tevez strongly linked with going to Madrid they'll need to sell...would be an amazing signing if we could pull it off
Unlike some gooners I very much hope we do get Samba & Cahill because we need a spine in this team of ponces I always thought Arteta would join us one day but Everton overprice all their players and we like to underpay same reason Baines is unlikely to come
Latest rumours suggest Samba is going to the Spuds and Downing + Baines to Liverpool. Nobody seems to want to sign for us or is it as i suspect Wenger's tightness that is losing them. He's rumoured to be looking at Mertesacker again Doh!
I've had newsnow.co.uk bookmarked for sometime now. It is a mistake since there seems a myriad of possibilities if you believe what is written. Latest from Sky and ESPN is that Wenger is saying Fabregas and Nasri are staying. Well if they do then I can't see us buying which would be a mistake. There will be no silverware and this time next year, they'll be gone anyway. I wish Wenger would stop prevaricating or dither and just sell and buy. That way we can all get on with our summer!!
