HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

marv3llous

New CB name has been thrown into ring: Jose Gimenez, by Adam Crafton from Daily Mail.

Am told Arsenal trying to negotiate with Atletico Madrid for defender Jose Gimenez. Atleti demanding €45m. Talks go on. More @MailSport #afc

Does this Crafton guy have any history of ever being right or is it pure houseboat?

Even if he can be a bit rash I'd probably forgive Wenger (not really) for his dithering if we got him. Same age as Chambers (born on the same day actually) and he's one of the best centre backs in Europe already.

Claudius

Woah! I'm going to ignore this. That's a real deal centreback right there.

marv3llous

First time i hear his name, to be honest. He has no previous of being "famous" on Arsenal Twitter for transfer info AFAIK. Might be something in it.

Rather 45 on this guy then 30 on Mustafi . You pay a lot but you get a top CB for the next 10 years. Wenger would never do that...

marv3llous

Mustafi is also a CB for the next 10 years, ideally. But yeah, i get what you mean. Gimenez is a top talent.

Bryant

it's going to take paying his release clause (65m) to pry him away (i think).

Rex

Mustafi is top class and, at 24, certainly qualifies as 'top class talent' in my book.

Only IF he has another level in him, like Kos did, stepping up from Lorient at that age.

jones

Mustafi's 14/15 season is up there with Koscielny's best. Gimenez is probably not quite there yet but if he realises his potential he'll be easily better than both

we would never pay his release clause and i dont see why they would sell him

I think it came from the daily Star though ... http://www.dailystar.co.uk/sport/football/538640/Jose-Gimenez-Arsenal-Transfer-News

But I have lost all hope of anything good coming from this season except Wenger's parting.

Dillinger

No sorry ... Daily Mail ... http://www.dailymail.co.uk/sport/football/article-3745341/Arsenal-talks-Atletico-Madrid-40m-rated-Jose-Gimenez-valuation-stumbling-block.html No quotes though as per usual.

How are we on that Kike guy on twitter ? He just said that Ateltico offered Gimmenez to us and Real, but Real said no.

marv3llous

Kike knows some stuff, gets lots of stuff wrong too. Not very reliable at all.

The madness is Neymar by the way.

Oh great, another lightweight Barca reject... Wenger out!

New transfer rumour method. Insert name of relative non event player, add annual GDP of small nation as asking price.

mdgoonah41

neymar trading barcelona for arsenal would be like trading in your maserati and buying a toyota

mdgoonah41

btw, i just saw a "arsenal fail in £16m jonny evans bid" headline

what a time to be alive
