Tracking winter window rumours/lies

Volante

Spanish Radio Onda Cero claim Real Madrid frontman Álvaro Morata has agreed to join Arsenal on a 6 month loan deal in January.

I'd rather go with Podolski.

Conor

Looks like we'll be going big on a striker in the summer then.

marv3llous

I wouldnt mind at all, if true. What is Madrid thinking with this move though? Arent they leaving themselves short up front?

y va marquer

They'll buy Suarez

Volante

Not in January they won't, especially with Benzema in the form he's in.

y va marquer

Logic doesn't come into it with Madrid though I guess they probably will hang on until the summer.

frusciante

one of the more possible options and i would be satisfied..hungry, good movement and finishing, better than buying pato for me

lorddulaarsenal

I think Madrid will go for Rooney in the summer. He'll only have a year left on his deal

Klaus

We should be all over him otherwise. Would be sweet go get one back on United again by signing their best player.

lorddulaarsenal

Agreed. I highly doubt he'll sign another contract with united unless they offer crazy money. He's tried to escape twice now

Jed

Pato yes, Morata no.

marv3llous

Reports that Rooney has agreed a deal with United to extend.

Even at his best, i could not see what seemed to impress everyone about Pato.
All i kept hearing was how good he looked in training but i never ever saw this "phenom" in proper matches.
Now he has degenerated, me no want even more!

*sorry Rex but that's the extent my brazilian vocabulary. obligato!

According to that not even talked about one just yet

Really, Tone?

I can understand people not wanting him because of his injuries, recent form etc., but he was a phenomenal talent just a few years ago.

Timbob

Pato has massive potential, but all things considered i think it's wishful thinking to expect him to be able to come to us in January and make an impact.

He was world class at Milan.

Bold Tone

Nothing new there, guys.
I did say everyone, but me.
Everytime i watched whole matches, his performances were distinctly underwhelming.
Edit: i do take Tim's point about potential/realised potential as i think his game is perfect for Ozil!

lorddulaarsenal

Pato is great with the ball at his feet. Has he lost any pace with age or injuries?

No quotes from anyone in that link though. Several sites are carrying the same story though, but could all be from the one less than reliable source. Sounds like a plausible story though - Wenger won't want anyone to overtake Giroud this season but wants a solid back up plan, i.e. not Theo, Podolski or Bendtner.
