johnhughthom Posted June 9, 2012 Share Posted June 9, 2012 One of the things these articles always seem to conveniently ignore is that no other club will be willing to pay the inflated wages Citeh give their players.

dagoonerfan Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Bild are reporting Holtby will join Arsenal if Schalke buy Van der fart. Jurado is close to joining A Madrid so perhaps they are trying to fund his move by selling 2 players Holtby has said he wants to play as a playmaker his contract expires in 2012. Would you want him?

Jurado is close to joining A Madrid so perhaps they are trying to fund his move by selling 2 playersHoltby has said he wants to play as a playmaker his contract expires in 2012. Would you want him? I vaguely remember someone on Twitter claiming we had a pre-contract with Holtby months ago. It didn't seem to be reported by anyone else so I assumed it was just usual Twitter nonsense but if it actually happens I'll be quite impressed. From reputation it sounds like a decent transfer, but I haven't really seen him play enough to form a proper opinion. Edit: also, is 'Van der Fart' deliberate?

gunner4eva Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I think that's unlikely tbh, as far as playmaking centre mids go, we've got enough. If we do sign a CM this summer it will be a defensively minded one. Would I want him? Not really, can't see that he'd add much/anything to our team Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Can he also play left wing? Might be useful to look at him over Yossi if that's the case. If not then I don't really see the point in buying him (gunner4eva's points) Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

dagoonerfan Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Jamie Sanderson @YoungGunsBlogJohan Djourou's agent in Italy on Monday for talks with Serie A clubs. Arsenal willing to sell for right fee. Napoli are keen. At first I was like: Yay new defender Then a voice spoke inside my head: 'We have too many defenders at the club. Vermaelan, Koscielny, Mertesacker, Miquel, Squillaci. Jenkinson can also play there, as well as Song. So overall quantity wise we are not short at the back at all' Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
ArsenalFan7 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 Not really. We need rid of Squillaci (In fact I don't even count him in the first place, he's that bad) and if you ask me Miguel isn't ready. Jenkinson is irrelevant at CB and Song shouldn't be our 4th choice, ever, he should be one of the 2 defensive minded CM's. Really we need a CB to replace Djourou if that goes through, whether that's a new first choice CB or a rotational CB, no one can tell. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

SJ234 Posted June 10, 2012 Share Posted June 10, 2012 I have no issue with us signing a playmaker as we are desperate for creativity. If Djourou goes then we do need a new cb but I wouldn't expect them to be that good the replacement as it is 4th choice. The issue isn't the defence but how we defend as a team.
