or Reus. Both would be great imo but not gonna happen.
His contract is up at the end of the season though so I can't see him going in Jan.
Too hard. Beating Bayern to him would be near impossible and if Bayern pass how do we beat Chelsea? They can offer everything more than we can.

I know but you'll most likely have to wait it out anyway.
Can't see Arsenal getting anybody good enough in January.
Maybe but it seems like Bayern are now out of the picture and Chelsea have to shift bodies themselves (aswell as the Lukaku thing) so they might not even go for him.
it's time to go back to a 4-4-2ish shape against everyone but the top 6 or so teams and Europe, imo
Coutinho signed in January for 8.5m.
Not sure if serious.

Evra too.
There are good players who can be signed in January so Arsenal may be able to find somebody but if they're looking for an established world class striker - that won't happen in January.
If they're going to take a chance on someone - that's a different kind of transfer really.
It's a case by case basis, there are top striking options out there.
Look at us going after Diego Costa in the summer. You scout the talent, trust in your judgement and you can have a top player. If we'd have signed Costa for that money everyone would be spaffing off now, but at the time it seemed like a lot. When we initially signed Suarez he cost a fair amount, over £20 million, but it's proven more than worth it.
I'm sure there are talents out there that Arsenal can go after, they just need to look elsewhere besides Suarez and Benzema. Seriously, I think whoever signs Benteke, even for £30 million, is laughing. That price is probably on a par with the £22 million we paid for Suarez, given the market inflation, but I'd say he's far more proven and just as promising. Won't get band for months at a time, either.

Ajax signed Huntelaar in the winter. We all know how that worked out. Good players can be signed in the winter.

Let's watch this beauty again <3
In the dying minutes of a cup game, he scored the equalizer. Naturally we finished things in extra time and went trough.

Madrid signed him in the winter too.

It's not been revealed what Diego Costa's new release clause is yet, has it? He ticks almost every box imo. Not a January target though, obviously.
A Sturridge-esque signing could be Pato. Ridiculously talented (like, potentially a top 5 forward talented), young, but it's questionable how hungry he is.
Otherwise, someone like Klose could do a job, maybe.

Yeah but Madrid is a club of cunts and totally destroyed his career
Too bad he's injured now, Schalke needs him.
Isn't he as crocked as they come?
I value indestructibility highly. Giroud is an unparalleled physical specimen.
Pato is about as injury prone as it gets, this side of Diaby. no thanks.
and if Costa has a release clause, we should move ASAP for him. because if we don't, someone else will.
Pato's made of glass though isn't he?

Is Pato even still a footballer?
You know what would happen if Arsenal's medical staff got their hands on Pato.
He would DIE

Pato hasn't picked up an injury in 2013, pretty much. He and Corinthians blame Milan.
lol, very possible.
lol, very possible.
No, no, that's the class of a great striker. It's hard to believe we never won a title with both Huntelaar and Suarez in our team. We were pretty close though, multiple times.
There was a point in the match today when Suarez went into a collision with Chesney and he looked genuinely hurt and I seriously thought he'd have to go off. Next minute he's latching onto Coutinho's pass and crossing the ball. The man's physically ridiculous. Can't remember him ever being subbed through injury.

Sounds like Nicky PowPow is doing great at Wigan. Good stuff. Can't wait to get him back next season.
Henriquez scoring goals in La Liga. Will probably sell him over there for a few million in a couple of years.

Catching up on some old memories now we're doing so shit. Kicking Fiorentina out of Europe by this weird goal never gets old.

He's played about ten minutes for Arsenal so far.
No fucking clue if he's actually any good. Can't be worse than Bendtner though.
Wigan have him playing as a striker though. He'll never get a game there for us.
Henriquez is only 19. He may still have a future at United.
Striker.
He's injured. No doubt he'll be ahead of Bendtner when he gets back.
Have you got a minute to discuss PC business?

He's playing, that's the important thing and seems like everything goes through him.
Should all stand him in good stead. Never been convinced he's a CM anyway.
holy shiiiiiiiiiiiiit I forgot he existed looooooooooooooooooooooooooool
Lol
I remember SAF saying he would play as a CM. Seems like he's excelled in a #9/#10 position. Wonder if he'll stick to that position from now on. Didn't seem all that at CM from the very little I saw of him.
We need to find a decent CM. Moyes get Cabaye pls.
