yeah, their president, who apparently is the worst at negotiating, said at most 15, but he'd probably take 12 or 14.

French so probably going to Newcastle.

I saw that pic and immediately thought of you. With the amount of good will beers you have purchased, these pants should be awarded to you.

Pants and a new jersey. I'd still be in the hole.

@bbcsport_david: 2013-06-16 12:19 (UTC) Arsenal priority a top cf. Higuain 1st choice & keen. #Afc also want 1 holding + 1 attacking mdf. No df unless any leave. Not in for Rooney.


More of the same from Ornstein. Not sure I like the no df part if it means we'll still be starting Sagna all year.

yeah, pretty much everyone (AS, Marca, et al) is reporting that we've offered £30m for Higuain. if true, that deal could be official very soon.

DM and AM should be interesting. I know Dandy said Isco has signed a pre-contract with Real but reputable sources were saying he was City bound late last week. that and Eriksen's destination could impact who we get. we've been linked to Maher in the past. if City got Isco, surely they wouldn't sign Maher too.

I'd be more than happy with any of those three, no doubt.

I doubt we're in on any of those except maybe Maher. just think it could have a domino effect on other AMs.

also, wouldn't worry too much about Sagna if we keep him. Wenger has a pretty strong history of diminishing the PT of experienced, talented players when the next guy up is ready. that was jenkinson's second year of top-flight football. I think he wasn't throwing him fully into the deep end just yet. I imagine he'll phase out Sagna next year and let him go on a free.

Euros, so around 25m but yeah I think that's the rumor because it's just what RM are asking.

I'd rather buy the players 25 million dollars worth of hookers and blow than spend it on higuain

not sure anyone is disagreeing with you there, generally speaking

I think it would be a good signing. Higuain is a proven goal scorer at club level and internationally. He is definitely an improvement over Giroud IMO.

A better finisher yes but Giroud to his credit always presses on D and is superb at linking play. We will need both next year.
