If that mangled quote means what I think it does then this is a good way to wake up this morning.

Gonzalo Higuain: "I have offers many outside Spain, but I decided to accept the offer of Arsenal, but that does not mean that I have finished all the procedures move to Arsenal, but there are still negotiations between me and them"

"I decided to go there because I'm still young and I see that the way the team played for me too and you'll get used to there quickly"

I'm new to fb so I don't know how reliable the news feed is but if this quote is true then I'm quite hopeful that negotiations are at an advanced stage (fees yet to be agreed). I'd love Higuain, always liked his clinical finishing style.

One more offensive player and a holding midfielder, keep all our players and I'll be optimistic heading into the season. But then, I'm optimistic heading into every season.

interesting. lets see if some legit media outlets start running with this

yeah, i saw that on Facebook yesterday, searched the rest of the Internet and found nothing. i don't excite myself unless i see a guy holding a red shirt with Wenger grinning next to him.

His brother was in the news yesterday saying quotes attributed to him were rubbish. Must have been talking about these ones (I didn't bother with the article, just saw the headline on newsnow).

Really want Higuain. Rate him super highly and he is a personal favourite of mine.

Would be an Arshavin esque quality signing for me (the 2009 Arshavin obviously).

A colombian radio station based in Argentina has said that Higuain to Arsenal is almost done.

What!? :hmm:

What's the twit oracle Geoff saying about this?
He should be all over it.

To be honest higuain has a very attacking mentality, which I think we are lacking. He will run and shoot from anywhere.

I still hope that we can get another attacker to complement the team. Ljajic or Lamela would make me sit up and take notice if we could pull it off.

What does this mean?

they bumped into higuains parents in a restaurant in argentina, who said its almost a done deal. sounds like something a piss taker would conjure up.

Ban me? They would be mad to get rid of such an asset.

Nah, just stopped going there.

Personally, I think the press are just having a bit of fun with our 'higher end' targets given what Gazidis said yesterday.

Tomorrow Wenger will say something about buying 'the best player, not the most expensive', and they'll be back linking us to Grenier again.

😉

Seems that we, along with Juve, are the club that exceptionally good but not quite brilliant players are being linked with.
They're not going to / they're leaving Madrid, Barca, City, Chelsea, United => Arsenal or Juve are interested.

Arsenal boss Wenger is believed to have met Higuain and his father Jorge, who is also the 25-year-old's agent, in Paris, and they have now held further discussions about a potential move to the Emirates.

Just missed a point blank shot in WCQ with colombia. Sort of a quick reaction shot though tbf.

And now he gets a red 😆

are we signing higuain? lots of rumors at the other arsenal place.

remember my words: he won't score more than 15 goals in the EPL.
Btw, his champions league' stats are really awful.

We won't sign him anyway, nor Fellaini. Won't happen.

Higuain, Rooney and Fellatio. Good summer. 🙂

For some reason, watching highlights of him doesn't make me feel any good about this rumor. I dont know, I cant put a finger but there is something about him that says he is not your typical Arsenal striker.

Too clinical?

No panache, no flair, no swag

I think it is going to boil down to Arsenal or Juventus. Juventus are already chasing Tevez and Jovetic. Chelsea have shown some interest in Jovetic. From what everyone here is saying Jovetic seems like more a classic Wengery player and Higuain does not. But I don't think Higuain is like a Huntelaar or one of those strikers who are only experts at putting the ball in the net. Not that it's a bad thing. He's more like the Van Persie type that will fit in our system but obviously not as good. Although I'd love Wenger to rip up our system and go with a more man utdy set up.
