Dos Santos would be available on the cheap and would be the player he has always had the potential to be under AVB, surely its worth a bid.

Behave your self mate that boat has long since sailed

Dos Santos lived like a playboy when with us and doesn't deserve another chance. Bernard is far better and would be my choice along with Soldado and Paulinho.

Can't forget that Baldini found Higuain for Madrid in the first place, he can find us some top top top talent. This is a man who signed De Rossi for Roma, for diddly squat money. He signed Lamela and Marcelo. He clearly has an eye for a south american wonder kid. PLEASE DO THE BUSINESS FOR US. {Ed008's Note - Actually De Rossi came through the academy.

Does anyone think higuain will flop at arsenal?

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Unfortunately no.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yes, he is slow and incredibly overated. {Ed008's Note - Slow? Overrated? You d

Agree0 Disagree0

Not sure but why is no-one else going for him at 25 million (utd, citeh, chavski, us or any other big clubs).

Agree0 Disagree0

Probably because no one will pay the wages he wants, except arsenal.
Don't worry to much about higuain. There is plenty if other talent out there.
Soldado, negredo, Gomez, villa, hulk, falcao, cavani, Fred to name a few.
These players were always going to go to the likes of arsenal, chavski, Manchester. I just hope we can grab one too.

Agree0 Disagree0

Delyid the same questions could be asked of our apparent targets but doesn't mean they won't cut it.

Agree0 Disagree0

Ed, are you suggesting that Higuain ain't slow? He looks slow to me, a waste of money at 25m'ish.

Agree0 Disagree0

Yeah I agree, my above post was sort of a question why is no-one else interested? personally I think he is a very good player. Madrid won't sell him to us unless Bale is involved so hey can do one. Would love us to sign Gomez, Bernard, Villa and Soldado/Negredo, whilst offloading ade, parker, and I fell we should blood some youth

Agree0 Disagree0

Delyid, sorry misunderstood your point. Thought you were saying he was rubbish and that's why nobody else wants him.
Agree though would love him at the lane but not at the expense of bale. Surely if Madrid are just refusing us because we won't sell Bale to them, then this "Link" we have for them is abit 1 sided. Makes me think when we do come to sell Bale we should sell to anyone but them.
Lastly don't see us getting 3 strikers this year and honestly think we'll start season with 2 strikers. Hopefully that'll see us use our youth. My choice is Gomez, Saldado, Bernard and Pauliniho (based on who we're linked with)

Agree0 Disagree0

Utd have no real need for a striker unless Rooney or someone else leaves. Chelsea and City have other targets atm (Cavani/Jovetic) but Higuain has been linked with Juventus.
Gomez is likely to go to Napoli, Fred won't leave Brazil, Falcao has signed for Monaco, Cavani is likely to go to Chelsea/Madrid/City in that order, Hulk would cost £40m-ish. So that leaves Villa, Soldado and Negredo as possibilities.
Also I don't think Higuain is slow. He's not the quickest but definitely not slow. And he isn't on high wages, if he was then Arsenal certainly wouldn't be getting him with their 100k/week wage structure.

Agree0 Disagree0

Wow. a month ago you lot was praising higuian, and was hoping he could be involved in some sort of cash plus player deal for bale. now he's slow and overrated.

Agree0 Disagree0

Above post, that's not the opinion of all supporters. I think he'll do well for Arsenal and think its a shame we cannot tempt him to the lane.

Agree0 Disagree0

Higuain is a quality player, we can only hope he doesn't settle if he joins 'them' or just has rotten luck all round.
Simmo

Agree0 Disagree0

Rumours emerging today that he prefers juventus.
The arse have offered 25million euro.
Juve have offered 17million euro.
Madrid, apparently want 43million euro.
It's not all done and dusted just yet but again, this may all just be 'itk' rubbish too.

higuain has gone to arsenal no chance of us getting top 4 now exactly what they needed, avb might aswell leave

Believable0 Unbelievable0

Not really, if Bale stays and WE sign a striker (hopefully Soldado)we can still give the Gooners a hiding. Higuain is a world class forward yes but so are a lot of other attainable targets, such as Soldado, Negredo, Bony, Gomez, Villa, a lot of talent. Stop being a pessimistic Tottenham fan or trolling Gooner.

Agree0 Disagree0

Original poster is definetly not a spurs fan.
Arsenal sign higuain? Why don't we just say fack it and close our club down and lay everyone off.
Stupid comment.

Ed, do you still think we can sign Higuan? Maybe offer bake to take Higuan, Contrao and Di Maria? Good trade IMO

The Peacock {Ed002's Note - Higuain? No.}

Honda looking good for Japan tonight! Free agent, why not? Good cover for injuries and a strong impact sub. Just my opinion but I think he's worth a go

Don't think it runs out till the winter time as he plays in russia

Agree0 Disagree0

We won't be the only team looking at him come New Years Eve. Someone needs to snap him up on a pre contract or buy him for a small fee

Agree0 Disagree0

Thfcmatt,

Good shout,

He is looking good, he is a good age and will provide good cover. It wasn't to long ago he was being linked with Man United and ARSEnal.

Looks like things are starting to pik up. I for one hope the paulinho and bernard deals do go through. I think paulinho sando dembele as center 3 would boss games all big athletic players that all bring sumfing different 2 the midfieild because for me variety and mixing it up is all hw u win games in the EPL. Then for me i'd ave a top 3 of bale bernard and jackson martinez I no that one being a long shot but is a possibilty as I think he is avalible if we show the right money and if we do wanna show intent as it looks lyk the goons ave got higuian hu I as I hate 2 say it will b good for them. We can't let them push away. I ave read mixed reviews on here about martinez but for me his physic power pace and strength are all perfect for the premier leauge let alone his finishing this guy scores all sorts of goals right, left foot his head even his back hill if uve watched his you tube vids lol. But 26 goals in 20 leauge for me is good for any leauge be it the pub leauges to pro football. But when it is in a top league it does make it a lot more stand out I mean that's one of the highest ratios for goals throughout any leauge. Then wiv lennon and andros as cover and rotation for the wings to help provide more width in the games that are narrow. Wiv a back gour of walker, vert, kaboul, rose and obvs the mighty hugo in goal this is a team and squad along wiv a few youth players from are exceptional u21 side I believe we could ave a real strong season next year. let's jus hope anyways.

Not really needed, playing in the same position as Dembele, Sigurdsson, Dempsey and Holtby to name a few, if Paulinho and Bernard come in the cannot see it happening unfortunately

Agree0 Disagree0

Mate are u mad. For stArters I said dembele in the starting 11. Second of all uve named then anova 3 midefielders as subs even that ain't enough for a hole season let alone the 3 u actually chose. Dempsey never has been a top 4 player should alwais of stayed at fulham. Siggy we should accepted that 10 mill bid from reading in january because again that's where he belongs plus we would of made profit. And holtby has been average and yes I no its early and I personally do hope he gets better. But I really dnt see hw u can say we dnt need paulinho and bernard because we ave dempsey and siggy. U truely r loopy.! U my friend need 2 b realistic. I to love spurs but i'm honest I don't jus kiss arse wiv players jus because they play for us when they blates ain't good enough.!

Rob A

Agree0 Disagree0

Actually Rob A I think he was referring to Honda, not Paulinho and Bernard. In fact he says 'If Paulinho and Bernard come in then I cannot see it happening unfortunately' (Honda)

Agree0 Disagree0

Rob A,
I can just about translate what you're saying and think you have a decent enough hope/idea there but, have to disagree about Sig. Dempsey may have popped up with an odd goal but is technically poor for what we need, Holtby looks very keen so far but barring an odd good pass and some huff and puff has generally not done much (yet) but, Sigurdsson got stronger as the season went on, decent on the ball, chips in with goals of different types, gets stuck in - he's a decent £7-8m team/squad player for sure I think.
