Arsenal Talk/Gossip/Rumours Thread 2014 - Mod Notes in OP 24/08

I said i was going to have a meltdown earlier and.....it still stands, When Manchester United can still bring the likes of Di Maria and Falcao while not even in Europe let alone the Champions League it blows the excuse of "'oh we have to qualify for the champions league before we buy anyone"' the fact that we're taking there sloppy seconds makes it even more gauling , Its like when we took Silvestre the molester off them a few years back

Anyway I think this whole leaving it run down to the wire is a load of bollocks, Remy, Cerci, Cavani , Falcao, Bacca all of these players are better than any striker we have , Now i know Wenger will trot out the line that Podolski, Campbell etc are all strikers, Fact is there not , there attacking midfielders or wingers not out and out Goalscorers which we haven't had since RVP left (barring Giroud)

We all thought when Ozil last year signed that it was beginning of a new era, but no same ****e as now in January when we folded over Draxler, I love Wenger but at the end of the day im an arsenal supporter not a Wenger supporter , I actually don't care who manages the club as long as they do it right and i think alot of people are missing that fact 1 or 2 players we're always short of challenging and I just feel we're going to get caught out soon Liverpool look great , United are building a superteam it looks like, City will always be dangerous and Chelsea look unreal this year (fabregas driven need i say)

Danny welbeck, god I suppose he's better than nothing, jaysus though.

Redzer7

Ah if it's a loan deal then I don't want it I'm sorry but I can't warm to a player who will go back to a rival after getting game time and improving with us.

Drexel

Home from work to see my worst fears could be coming through.

Welbeck isn't good enough. He will run and run but he's not good enough. Its.a very unwenger like signing.

Sergio

FFS!

Huntelaar - more of a genuine no 9 than Welbeck 12.9million release clause apparently activated.

I'd prefer if we waited til Jan.

Yeah Huntelaar bid accepted according to Twitter, a load of bollocks probably.

He's very hit and miss too, but he can knock a few in. Welbeck is decent I expect better to be honest but you never know he might come good for us.

Source for Huntelaar? Not on my feed, I follow selectively.

Seems a very Wengerlike signing over the last few years! :pac::pac:

brianregan09

Huntelaar i would be extremely happy with but why sign both ?

cathalio11

12 million for Huntelaar would be strange.

Wenger doesn't spend 12 million on players that age.

Yup, just home myself and can't help but get a little excited but then reality sets in and you realise it's only Danny wel'****e. A little harsh but to go from falcao to him is tough. Good upgrade for him mind you ;-)

I agree, Wenger was reluctant to buy one striker, never mind two!

Wenger doesn't like guys with poor technique. Especially up front.

Money talks at the end of the day. Man utd were always going to be able attract players , one season out of the champions league wouldn't change that .

Remi, Cerci and Bacca aren't the saviours the media is making them out. Would Cavani have been nice ? Sure would, but PSG don't want to lose players and signing these players is difficult for a number of reasons.

Ozil signing was a great step and it was followed this year by Alexis who had a super year for club and country .

Clubs with the finances of city , Chelsea and utd will of course make big signings and have great teams, but, I think we have a really good, exciting team. Top DM is needed to top it off. Let's hope we can get something done.

Danny Welbeck's agent: "Danny doesn't want to go on loan. He wants a straight transfer & he has every right to say that" (Source: talkSport)

I don't know what's more depressing the fact were signing or Wellbeck or the fact he's better than what we have without Giroud.

Say Sanchez and Ozil can't wait to link up with him.

Giroud has a good touch and plays a lot of clever passes in build up play . He plays a part in a lot of goals.

cathalio11

I'd have loved Negredo but City would never let him go here.

AdamD

At least Welbeck can say 'I left for Champions League football' :pac:


Welbeck's job should be to just run around as much as possible to create space for our attacking midfielders..

Awesomeness

Welbeck would make runs in behind. His finishing while bad is an nowhere near as bad as Sanogos and it may be the move he needs to kick on and really establish himself like Sturridge is doing

Get Ozil in the centre and with his passing he will abuse his pace and give him chances . Welbeck had a good season last year . Needs to improve his decisions and finishing. He will get a lot of chances in front of our midfield . Let's hope he has a point to prove , he threatened to take a step up last year so let's see what he's made of.

Giroud's first touch and technique is of the top standard for someone his size.

I'd be taking some Omega-3 with those strepsels if I were you.

Hes hardly Van Persie though is he, anyway lets not do this again. Tomorrow!

Drexel

Welbeck is on loan? For 6 million? That can't be right. If we pay man united 6 million to loan Welbelk for a year I'll cry. Would go down as worse then us selling them rvp.

Alfred Borden

17 million :mad:

Junge Welt - a Berlin based daily newspaper - is reporting that Arsenal have activated Klaas Jan-Huntelaar's £12.75m release clause.

No one would argue that. Not many people you can say that about .

Sporting say that they have rejected an offer from Arsenal for William Carvalho. #AFC #SCP #POR

Increase that please

I like Welbeck. But I dont like hearing us paying 6 million for a loan deal. Thats shocking.

John Cross from Daily Mirror says loan fee is more like 2m, but no deal agreed yet.

Huntelaar signing is about 4 yrs too late in his career, ppl trying to justify Welbeck as being a good striker , prob averaging bout a goal every 5 games for united

Not when Sanogo is your first choice CF.

This is getting a little bit more interesting if nothing else.

speedboatchase

Apparently Sporting have said that they rejected an offer for Carvalho from us. Hopefully still time to go back with another.

^^from Duncan Castles.

Don't think Wellbeck is ever going to be the player Arsenal need. His just doesn't get enough goals and I wouldn't be too sure about how long Wenger would persist with him if he doesn't hit the ground running - he could find himself just as marginalised as Arsenal as he is at United.

Mr Blobby

I don't think signing Welbeck is the answer to our CF problem.. But he's at least someone who we can use till Giroud/Walcott are back.

You never know.. We might get another Sturridge situation on our hands.

bad2dabone

Awww man welbeck to us, total payback for united taking van persie off us. Revenge tastes sweet.

Daniel Sturridge didnt exactly set the world alight at City or Chelsea, but when he moved to Liverpool he looked a different prospect altogether when getting a run of games in his favoured position. I think Welbeck could work out the same way for us. Lets be honest what have we got to lose in taking a chance on the lad, he is honest as the day is long and will always put 110% in. Could be a very shrewd signing.
