Get jiggy with the Higgy?

Can't see Mourinho going for him

asajoseph

I fucking hope this guy is better than Eduardo!

Clrnc

He has much more in his locker than Eduardo. His link up play is good, and his all round intelligence is fantastic. I particularly like his 2 assists against United in the UCL this year.

lorddulaarsenal

That's what he likes in particular guys

Timbob

I liked Eduardo, but i don't think he would ever have had it in him to score 98 league goals in 144 games in a top league.

Amstel

Eduardo's link up play was fantastic tbf, but his overall game and abilities do tend to get vastly overrated by the rewriting of history for nostalgia.

goon

His finishing was fantastic but his movement wasn't good enough for him to be a consistant goalscorer or to lead the line. Higuain's movement is very good.

Skybet have us odds-on to get him:

Patters

Yeah but those markets are a fool's game. They stand more to gain by cutting their odds anyway. If they offer long odds on Higuain not going to Arsenal, then it would mean something.

I think there's definitely interest, but we'll have to wait for many rounds of negotiations before we get a conclusion. Think we'll sign other (lesser) players before we get the main man.

goon

Well, if widely reported stories on our offer are true then it's the first real indication of a change in policy from the club this summer.

Yep, it's time for that picture of Burnsy's cat

Ornstein says Higuain is our #1 target + one attacking, one defensive midfielder:

Conor

Higuain, Grenier and Fellaini then.

Armor

I thought we'd only want 1 CM but what Ornstein says ties in nicely with the Fellaini and Grenier links. One starter and one early 20's squad player and the type of footballer Wenger likes to go for.

nah. higuain, fellaini and isco.

Irishgunner

Higuain + Jovetic + Fellaini

Higuain + Fellaini + gonalons

Higuain + grenier + wanyama

Higuain + Rooney + bender

Could be any mix n' match with one from each category really. But so far it looks like Higuain, grenier, and Fellaini could be most likely.

And the title will follow.

Seriously though I would be happy with some average midfielder who is cheap like Capoue, Gonalons, Wanyama etc if it means we can get a top class playmaker like Isco/Jovetic, or to a lesser extent promising ones like Eriksen/Bernard.

Ideally Higuain, Jovetic and Bender is my choice.

Don't really think we are in for any keepers or defenders. Jovetic rumours have died down quite alot as well

Armor

If we were to get Higuain i'd rather a top class AM and squaddie DM too but have a feeling there is something in the Fellaini and Grenier rumours.

asajoseph

Today Arseblogger reckons our interest in Higuain is serious too.

Pretty sure he's never managed to get anything ITK right, but do suppose he wouldn't say something unless he has confidence in it. Not sure why.
