Adem Ljajic 'eyed by Arsenal for summer transfer'

Fiorentina star Adem Ljajic is being watched by Arsenal as Arsene Wenger finalises his summer transfer plans, according to reports in Italy.

The 20-year-old is one of the rising stars of Serbia's national team, and his age and technical ability match the profile of player the Gunners boss likes to bring to the club.

He can play either as an advanced central midfielder or on the wing, and could arrive as a direct replacement for Yossi Benayoun, if Wenger decides against offering the on-loan Chelsea man a permanent deal.

Ljajic was close to being given the opportunity to showcase his creative talents in the Premier League in 2010.

Manchester United negotiated an option to sign him while he was still at Partizan Belgrade, but pulled out of the deal after being unable to secure a work permit for him.

He instead joined Fiorentina in a £6.5million move and although he has struggled to hold down a regular place in the Viola's starting line-up, it seems the youngster has shown enough moments of promise to interest Arsenal's scouts.

Would love it if we could nick him. He hasn't been given the best environment to develop properly in at Fiorentina but he's one of those players who oozes intelligence when you watch them play. Looks like a typical Arsenal player.

Agreed. Very comfortable on the ball and can fashion chances almost at will. Not shy to shoot either.

10 days later

seems like he's not made of strong stuff there. getting punked by some old man is not on, but i guess that's the modern arsenal player right there.

You'd have popped a cap in his ass wouldn't ya Meaty?

nope i save that for people who can actually hurt me and take my stuff. for an old man like that i would just knock his ass out. or when he came rushing at me just use his momentum against him and send him head first into the wall/barrier behind us and a few kicks to the head as a parting gift.

what can his club do to him if actually defended himself? sell him at a reduced price to a better club on better wages.

You can't take a swing at people during games. Least of all in Italy where violence in the stands is such a heated topic at the moment. Rossi got fired for that punch tonight. Ljajic would've had a lengthy ban to look forward to if he'd punched back.

Meatwad is just thinking like a meathead

Ljajic ends up winning. The manager has been sacked.

Can this guy give us 20 goals+assists next season? If not, then I don't want him unless he's a Wenger project put in the reserves and we still get our man.

I read that Ljajic will be punished too, but of course not to the extent he would have if he'd punched back.

He should sue. That's a retirement fund punch right there.

Coach must have been delioriousSi!

If we actually cut as much dead weight from the squad as we should, there would be plenty of room for this kid.

That video is fucking nuts, btw.

He must have been winding up the manager for a while to get him to explode like that.

Apparently, I don't know if this is true or not but it's being said that Ljajic made a comment about Rossi's disabled son.

IF true then he's a twat

Think it's just a bullshit rumour. Ljajic applauded Rossi sarcastically when he was subbed off and then gave him an ironic thumbs up once he'd entered the dugout. That is what set the whole thing off. It's a cunty thing to do, though, and Ljajic will be punished internally for it. Wouldn't be surprised if his Fiorentina career is over now.

A punk with that little respect for his manager is not someone I´d want at Arsenal despite his undoubted talent. That´s just me of course.

same here, he sounds like a shithead. honestly, it wouldn't surprise me if he'd said something about the manager's son under his breath, either. zero interest in this guy - silky midfield playmakers are dime a dozen and most of them turn out to be not that great.

so not only is he a no respect having twat. he goes all turtle when physically intimidated, no balls.

Van persie threw his boots at his manager...

Just saying.

He said something along the lines that "you are more retarded than you son"

Then Rossi went crazy.
