We desperately needed width and pace. Navas solves that problem. We had a real lack of creativity last year.

We also need to sell tevez & dzeko and sign replacement striker.

Can't argue with that

Yes l agree but l also think another Centre back is needed as well.

Fellaini camp, #efc & #afc all deny release clause met. Arsenal not in for Rooney or Cesar. Jovetic on radar but not near top

Oh dear some won't be pleased by that.

Theres a load of money to be spent and it better be spent. Ivan said what Arsene considers exciting buys may not be exciting to fans. Writing on the wall may be? I don't know but he did glorify the fact theres money to be spent. The AST know for a fact that theres money to be spent.

But as the old saying goes bud in that its easy to chuck money away as we see by many other clubs and the money available for Arsene needs to be spent wisely and he is the right man to do that.

btw David Ornstein doesnt know everything. so until I hear Wenger deny interest I wont believe it. also i wont be surprised if people are lied to. this is a big window for Arsenal.

He certainly doesn't know everything, that's why his Twitter feed is so barren. However when he does post I don't think there is anyone better. He has always been right so far. Most impressive was M'Vila when everyone was reporting it was a done deal he came and said not only was it not a done deal but contact hadn't even been made. He was right.

Of course it's worth noting what he said. He said the release clause for Fellani hadn't been met, not that we weren't in for him, and The Times' story didn't say we had made a bid yet.

Gonzalo Higuain family say he's almost certainly going to Arsenal

http://www.bluradio.com/31908/primic...-de-inglaterra

I stand by what I said about Higuain, top quality which I'd love at Arsenal. Gooners voice that he doesnt turn up in big games but they fail to register the fact his time at Real has been up and down and even throughout that look at this..

Higuain in my opinion is still a rough diamond. Wenger could get more out of him. may be not Messi Ronaldo heights but he could get closer .

denphone · 07-06-2013, 20:03

He won't come in my opinion as he is off to the old lady.
