afc Arsenal Summer Transfer Window

[Fighting Weight]

Lol yeah it is Close, I've just been saying Arteta is more defensive minded, the original comment was that he wasn't good enough defensively but statistically he is more defensive/better defensively than one of his contemporaries  at the current leading club in the country.....he will probably compare favourably or similarly with the other players in the league too

 

However there's no true standout deep lying player in the league imo (till next season)

[Drift]

deffo need an upgrade on arteta.

 

tired of seeing this guy in promos and being interviewed as one of the main guys for arsenal football club. 

 

no real defensive instincts.

 

not athletic enough.

 

remember the guy came to the club as a playmaker but failed so miserably that alex fucking song had to step up and grab 13 assists.

 

like MK said, good squad player. im sure hes professional enough to accept that kind of role as well.

[Captain Planet]

Replacing Arteta is not a priority in my opinion, he is the metronome, keeps play tidy and has excellent stats.

Of course an upgrade like Fellaini is welcome but I would rather we sort out our goalkeeping and attacking options first.

[TF S4DK]

When Arteta is on point, he's good enough from the majority of the Prem, problem is he needs an understudy/someone to push him out within the next 18 months.

 

Its not a priority, I put it on the same level as replacing Per.

[Badman]

Ramsey is Arteta's understudy 

[Michel Kane]

Yeah, Gonzalo is definitely coming.

:-)

[Fighting Weight]

Why you say that? Bookies?

[Bobby Reds]

They saying  he signed  4 year deal.

 

Why the hell dint we sign up to at least 5

 

smh

[The Somalian]

press pass pretty much confirming deal is done

we have doubled his wages. He is also not popular at Real and has had squabbles about his wages

[Natty]

Until its on arsenal.com I'm not a believer

[Taurus]

Don't gas me

[Michel Kane]

He's coming to Arsenal.

[mark_INIESTA_davies]

I'm literally so excited about this signing.

 

Higuain could be in the top 3 Wenger signings under his reign.

 

Worth every penny, that immaculate touch and clinical finishing will take us to the next level.

 

You know every season we deep down have hope that a good start followed by a good winter could see us challenge, well with Higuain I think our ambitions may come true.

 

Would he be the best striker in the premier league? thinking about it, I think he would..

[Heero Yuy]

Until its on arsenal.com I'm not a believer

!

Apparently we're still in for Gooney aswell

Imagine Higuain, Rooney and Felliani in one window....

Skelton would rip out of my body and start doing that michael jackson dance from ghost.

[Drift]

Rooney is finished, hope its gas.

[The Infamous]

Good look for the premier league

 

You needed that marquee striker 

[Fighting Weight]

Rooney is an overweight glory-hound with a bad attitude and astronomical wage demands

 

Lol at selling a striker, and then buying the guy that your striker kicked off the team

 

Higuain is a number 9 and Santi is a number 10, no room for fat wayne

[Heero Yuy]

Rooney is finished at united needs a new challenge to find that hunger again.

[Rhymer-2]

I know we've got 70m to spend, but there's no way Wenger is buying 2 top strikers in one window.

[Afroman]

Rooney will be good business. Englands golden boy. We will def shift a few shirts and secure a trophy.

He will have a point to prove pre world cup.

Buy no way this is happening. We cant match is wage demands and he wont take a pay cut. 2 strikers in on window not happening.

It means giroud will have to make way or become third choice.

I rather we secure Felaini and a top class keeper right now

[Natty]

Rooney and Higuain is never going to happen

[Yoshie]

either way arsenal look very strong going into this season, defo ahead of chelsea and united at the moment.

 

What makes you say that?

Couldn't agree less.

No change of manager / playing style / backroom staff /philosophy 

 

Squad from last season kept together and looks like it will be improved with new signings
