HOUSEBOAT - Warning: tenuous links ahead!

Claudius

Please don't give Wenger a budget this summer. Given the chance, he'll build a team with 8 attacking midfielders in the starting lineup

est

...who can't even string more than two passes together.

Haha

Gunner89

Why did you go all the way to a german website for a link from the Metro?

Jasard

Strange question, really. Because it was the one that I came across.

Anzac

I see we're being linked to the likes of Firmino, Charles Aranguiz, Fabinho & Idrissa Gueye,
although the talk is also that Firmini and Gueye would supposedly prefer to move to ManU.

marv3llous

Aranguiz looks and sounds like a perfect fit for us.

Midget playmaker who still doesn't play in Europe despite turning 26 this year? He may look like a perfect fit for us, but he does not sound like it.

He's described as being a non stop midfield dynamo like Sanchez & was reportedly key to Chile's pressing game.
Me thinks Aw is looking to his energy as a potential replacement for Rosicky's impact?

Methinks it's probably rubbish. Like nearly every single other link that the papers bang on about.

Much like this pearl from Myles Palmer;

De Boer/Bergkamp/Overmars to Arsenal this summer
23rd March 2015 – by Myles Palmer

Phone call last night.
“Have you heard that the Ajax crew are coming?”
“No,” I replied.
“Frank De Boer, Bergkamp and Overmars is the whisper. This summer, Wenger’s leaving.”
“New one on me,” I replied.

The tip came from a source who’s been reliable in the past.

Bergkamp always said he would come back.

My reaction: We can dream can’t we?

Frank de Boer (44) was a truly great player.

The most-capped Dutch international with 112 games.

No Dutch coach had won four consecutive Eridivisie titles until Frank took over at Ajax in December 2010.

The Sunday times reported that city are preparing a "huge bid" for Jack Wilshere in order to increase their number of homegrown players.

In exchange for Aguero and it's a deal.

Klaus

No thanks.

Think so too. Welbeck, Gabriel, Sanchez, and Aranguiz indicate a change of style, the high pressing game we failed with at the start of the season because we didn't have the full personnel, Flamini and Per for example and Wilshere and Ramsey, who're inexperienced and literally played as forwards.

Think Wenger will give it another go next season, and I hope he does because we looked truly fantastic at times vs City and United home games.

Exciting rumour, seemed like a good player at the WC.

dybala links wont stop.

if the plan is to play him at RW so he can cut in on his left and keep alexis at LW, im happy.

id rather have reus at LW and alexis at RW, but i think reus is an unattainable dream

Claudius

Dybala links are welcome. I'm seriously doubting there is a quick fix for an alternative to Giroud. Being able to select from Giroud, Dybala, Welbeck and Sanchez and Ox for front four spots will be positive.

Gazza M

never seen dybala play, but he's a good age for us. olly has 2-3 good years left in him while we bring an established young player through. we should throw money at a striker in that 21-24 age bracket that's ready to step up

lorddulaarsenal

Olly has more than that in him

Rex

Reus signing that new contract won't stop him from leaving. I applaud and respect him for doing it, especially at a time when Dortmund is struggling. A player showing real loyalty in this day and age is rare, but I think this is mostly him making sure that Dortmund is getting properly paid for him. I'd be amazed if there isn't some sort of trigger clause in his contract.

Klaus

There's no trigger according to Dortmund and his agent, but they probably have a quiet understanding. They won't stop him if someone throws Real money at them. This way they won't be forced to sell another world class footballer to Bayern though.
