Way to step away from the crowd there.
I don't see Villa to Arsenal. He'd have a whole host of other, better options.
Cesc helped convince Cazorla to make way here from what i've heard. Might help with Villa also.

It would still be a long shot. Most clubs on the planet would love to have Villa. The difference with Cazorla was that there was a signal lack of other potential buyers.
True. Still would make sense to try as last time it was us vs Barca and well that wasn't really a battle. I'd think there are maybe 3 or 4 clubs he could sign. Us, Chelsea, Juve and maybe PSG.
Also Re Negrado I always somehow thought he was older? Thought he was nearer 30, but he's 27 so would have years left in him. Also his goal record is really good.
Oh, it'd definitely make sense to try, even if it wasn't feasible.
Negredo is a wonderful striker, one of my favourites. He's pretty much the ultimate all-round forward. He's not just capable of playing lots of different roles, he's actively GOOD at it.
I wonder if we could get same kind of deal as with Cazorla. 15 mil euros straight up.
Well if we can't get anyone from Spain we can always go shopping for Benteke
Llorente will go to Juve. Have heard that our interest in Adrian has ended after Wenger heard Villa could be available for £13-15 million. A little uneasy about that though, of course he is a quality player but he is also 31 and coming off the back of a serious injury. Don't know what the fuss is over Adrian either, admittedly I have never seen him play but his strike rate isn't anything to get excited about.

Haha, Wenger spending actual proper money on someone? You're funny.
Mmm, I understand your lack of excitement. To be fair, he's been pushed wide regularly in his career, but he's not exactly top-level.

He has already if stories are right? 600k on Godzilla ( Sunzu Stoppila ) Though everyone who's seen him says he's good and that he was best defender in ACoN last year.

according to this KJ Huntelaar will renew contract with Schalke.

A whole 600k?! Wow, watch out Sheikh Mansour!
He will likely be watching
and signing him off us if he turns into beast.I personally would rather see us sign Demba Ba over either Adrian or David Villa. Yes some would question that as it is David Villa but he is now 31 years old and coming off a broken leg. Also Demba Ba is a proven goalscorer in the Premier League.
Demba Ba has knee issues also.
This has had me uneasy over us going after Ba with our injury history his knee will blow up the moment pen touches paper but I think he is worth a punt. £7 million isn't a massive deal in the current market, his wages wouldn't be too extravagant and he is proven to be a reliable goal scorer in the PL.

Doesn't Ba have very similar qualities to Giroud though? I'd want a pacy, clever forward if I were Wenger, or give Walcott the chance to show what he can do up top. Ths would surely push defences deeper and give Cazorla and Wilshere the space to destroy teams. Ba would be decent but with some risk, but I guess no more than a foreign import.
Can't see him buying Ba or Villa. It doesn't suit Wenger's style at all. I'm curious if we will get a CM/DM to allow Cazorla to push up the field and allow Walcott to play as a striker, since the cover for Arteta is zero.
And the CL quarters are here, it seems we're playing Bayern. Tough game, wouldn't be suprised if we don't go through, lets hope some of the performance against AC Milan last year are in the players minds. Lets not **** it up during the first leg.

Bit of an aside comment this, but why are Sanchez and Villa out of favour with Villanova? I thought they were both extremely good players who were great last season. I'm not watching their games these days, presumably it's something to do with players such as Pedro, Deulofeu, Tello and so on becoming better and Tito enjoys bringing academy players through like his old boss?
