Transfer Rumours Transfer Rumours Thread

Jovetic would be a good start, i still think we need someone thats just a pure finisher as well. Such a shame Eduardo got crocked, he was really starting to look uselful before that game at Birmingham..

 

To be honest i've never felt a typical CF suits the way we play football.

If you look at the strikers that have excelled under Wenger.. Henry, Anelka, RVP, Berkamp etc.. None of them were 'traditional' CF's.


I dont think a Gomez/Raul/Van Nistlerooy type striker is the best option for our system.

I would rather a Benzema/Suarez/Cavani someone who can lead the line but run at defenders and interchange with the other forwards.

We dont have the kind of system where we can accomodate someone just hanging around the box. (it's snot like we put in alot of crosses)


So from that perspective Jovetic could be exactly what we need, he's quick, skillfull, a good finished - It all depends on wether Wenger can get the consistancy out of him that is needed at the TOP level.

 

The Star has us linked to some Barca player. Cesc something or other.


Apparently he's bought a flat in London and isn't happy at Barca.

(Please sign him back Arsene, he was my favourite Arsenal player post Bergkamp)

 

I wont be surprised if he comes back one day, wont be any time soon though

 

we have a 50% sell on clause in his contract,

 

If he comes back our midfield would be ridiculous.


Truely a Great player.

 

So if he goes to Citeh, we get 17.5 million? Awesome. Cesc serving the club even when he's not here.

 

Apparently that was the only reason wenger would let him go for 30 million, as he originally wanted 50 million, at the time I thought it wouldn't be much good as cesc did not seem like he would leave barca considering the fuss he made to go there, but might be a shrewd move after all.

 

Why would he buy a flat in London, if he is going to Manchester?

 

I think it was London, i may have misread the article.

And he could still play in Manchester anyway, it's called commuting.

 

his burd lives in london

 

Lampard's replacement.

 

This is awesome though, because it works well for us either way. Either:

A) We sign Cesc, which means we have Cesc back, and we all know how devastatingly awesome he is in a Wenger system
B) Someone else signs Cesc, which means we get a ****load of money to strengthen the squad anyway.

It's a win/win.

Anyone know anything about this player? Heard someone describe him as the 'French Busquets' on another site.

Fabregas is an Arsenal fan. You only have to follow him on Twitter to realise that.

I cant see him leaving Barca for any other club.(not by choice anyway)

 

Problem for Cesc is that he can't play that Xavi role. He has become too English in his style and is not anything like Xavi. Also, when they try to play him alongside Xavi, they have to put Iniesta out wide, and he is not that effective out there. Barca did not need Cesc, they should have spent that money on a proper CB.

 

He's apparently a bit reckless, and his attacking skills aren't great but defensively he's good. My Lyon supporting friend rates him above Capoue but below M'Vila.

 

He's a good player, an intelligent midfielder, not the most physical DM.

 

Gonalons would be a very good signing.
