Why should we as fans care if he 'is worth' £25m or not? He is already at a level which means he would improve our team from day one, and he has potential to become even better. That is really all that matters. We need players better than what we currently have to improve, and he certainly fits that bill.

because alot of gooners feel brow beaten by our tight fistedness in recent years, and are overly paranoid about the possibility of a big money flop.

Rex, don't be the "iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiii" in "Wait for iiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiiit".

Half of Twitter say the deal is 100% on and the other say we aren't interested at all....

The 23-year-old has also been linked with a €28 million move to Arsenal, but Prade said: “The way I see it, this interest is non-existent. I have not had any contact with them at all. I don’t think Arsene Wenger is interested in the boy.”

I think if Wenger had been in contact with Fiorentina about a possible transfer he would have told Prade to say as much to the press anyway.

I remember we were so very close to signing tevez till the end of aug 31 a few years ago. The whole newsnow arsenal page was filled with news on that. Later on wenger came out and coolly said we were never even in for him.

The gonalons and sanogos are our kind of transfers. Only when one is signed should we be discussing about these big money guys.

The Arshavin saga was hilarious. His agent was basically a Bond villain.

Arshavin would make a good bond villain...

200 over pages, I remember. Most epic thread ever.

Don't think I was ever more excited about a transfer than that.

His blog today is just an opinion piece. Says he's not worth 30m and that he's not a proper centre forward, and for those reasons doesn't think we are interested.

Well for those same reasons I'm not interested in LeGrove

No denying he chats a lot of shite.

But spose we all do.

I stopped reading LeGrove some two years ago. But, if they don't rate him, then he must be good.

He'll probably be announced as an Arsenal player soon, then.
