why do Arsenal want Higuaín (who looks to be Nápoli bound)?


We need CF depth mostly. We have no one who can play CF that well outside of Giroud. Podolski and Walcott can play there but I wouldn't want to rely on them for a whole season.

giroud has a superb one touch game. if he has to take much more than that, things can get bad.

he really would do great paired with another attacker who made runs into the box. he really can play some spectacular passes. especially chipping it in. I think in all comps he'll do 20/8ish this season.

Arsenal went through a dark phase last season where they would play the ball to Sagna and just let him cross it into the box.

Seriously, Arsenal is probably going to end up with Suárez, aren´t they?

I think we have about a 1 percent chance of actually getting Suarez.

Bernard seems to be happening. I think we're just keeping it hush hush for him/Atletico Mineiro going into the Copa Libertadores final Wednesday.

Suarez depends almost entirely on Liverpool (our zeal with continuing this course for weeks and reports out of Uruguay would seem to show we've at least had some indication from his camp that he would be amenable to the move) so our ITKs are practically useless. (as if they aren't mostly useless to begin with )

SIAP, but here are some great individual highlights of Zelalem thus far in the Asia tour. Also includes a vid of all of his through balls.

Also, while not technically wrong, it still annoys me to no end when articles refer to him as a German midfielder. HENDO - keep working your magic.

Rossi lived in the US longer than that. There is still hope.

ETA: Rossi, not DE

I would say he and rossi are practically opposites in their living situations, but 9-15 is pretty big formative years. doesn't help that we have a lot of other Germans in his ear.

You mean Rossi? Different situations. It's pretty unlikely that he will play for us, though Germany's depth will play a key role.

He lived in Germany for 9 years and the U.S. for 6. I don't know what he sees himself as but he has an American accent when he speaks English.

Madrid gets Suarez and Higuain goes to Naples and Arsenal is left holding their d*** in their hands
