SantiSuk Posted June 12, 2012 Share Posted June 12, 2012 Giroud to Arsenal anyone ? Now all we need is 10 more defenders and we're complete Yermanee I think Wenger wants Arsenal to own the majority of the French national side. Already Sagna (when not injured) and Koscielny. Giroud and possibly M'Vila to come? All a side show to the major signing he needs to make if he can't keep his Dutchman. Three 12 million quid players doth not a 36 million quid plus player make!

If Wenger can sell RVP for 36 Million he should not hesitate. And as for french players, he's had a pretty good success rate with them hasn't he, to name but a few, Henri, Pires, Petit, Vieira, Clichy, Sagna, Koscielny and I.m sure the list goes a lot further. Also a few real disappointments I agree, Yermanee Edited June 13, 2012 by yermanee Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted June 13, 2012 Share Posted June 13, 2012 (edited) At this stage of the game (half time Germany v NL) vanP could be crawling back to the Emirates with his tail between his legs looking for a job! Should be substituted by Huntelaar, but will probably be doubled up. Edited June 13, 2012 by SantiSuk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SantiSuk Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 RvP's disappointing showing at the Euros and the early exit of the Orange means he can concentrate on discussions with Ivan and Arsene about his future a couple of weeks earlier than expected. I just wonder whether the traumas of the Euros will make him more inclined to stay in the warm bath of 'home' at the Emirates. If he goes he's probably knocked at least 5m euros off his value over 3 matches. Interesting fact - Ivan Gazidis is a Mancunian and supported Manchester City from an early age, having been a good young footballer at Manchester Grammar schoool. The surprise for me is that Manchester Grammar allowed football to be played (usually rugger is de rigeur at leading Grammar schools - but then I guess they would never get away with it in Manchester) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Others can't. RVP is one of the cant's. Remember Henri, when he played with Pires, Bergkamp, Vieira etc. he thrived. Not so at Barcelona. Same as Messi when he plays for Argentina. To be honest I wouldn't mind seeing RVP go. No one is bigger than the club. Give me players with the mindset of Thomas Vermaelen for example any day of the week.

carmine Posted June 18, 2012 Share Posted June 18, 2012 Hearing Theo won't sign unless RvP stays... You might have trouble keeping RVP because after his showing in the euro's Stoke have tabled a bid of Peter Croutch plus half a million and i think Arsenal just won't be able to say no. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrRed Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 (edited) Arsenal have reached an agreement with Montpellier to sign striker Olivier Giroud. The 6ft 3in striker is set to join Lukas Podolski in a new-look Arsenal forward line next season, and his impending capture will prompt further speculation about the future of Robin van Persie.

If this is the scenario its going to end up an excellent piece of business by Arsenal. i suppose the Arsenal fanbase must be wondering whether any money will be spent on their defense? They must have funds Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smokie36 Posted June 19, 2012 Share Posted June 19, 2012 Wenger sees defence as a weakness....he prefers 10 players who can pass the ball....not even a holding midfielder is on his radar....hence why they will have another trophyless season.

Yes, my thought too. The way its going they will have to be taken very seriously next season. Surely wenger will take the oppotunity to bring in some cover this time. If he does they are going to be very very good. Quite depressing really. Top four for the likes of us mate is going to be a very tall order indeed. i think i'll have to start bigging up the europa.
