By cRrusheR Go To PostIncredible that there’s seemingly no movement regarding a midfielder.Liverpool fans man
By rossonero Go To PostYou’re saying he will kick out Barca with Aston Villa as well? Bold prediction.Maybe if they play each other in the European Conference League next year
Can't see us actually getting him but it's good to see that it looks like we're going to try and bring in a striker this window.
I mean, I sort of get it Dean :lol
Still, could be a massive signing for the end of season push. We really need a top quality goal scorer to match the competition.

If he hadn’t expressed interest via his agent, I doubt we would be making this big a push for him.
Unless, his agent is only stringing us along to force a club like City to make a move.

Ferrero already kickstarted the fun by getting thrown into prison
I'd like Vlahovic to go to Arsenal just to stop Juventus from signing on a loan with 20m obligation afterwards. Or whatever bullshit they usually pull.
Think Kane has missed his chance, especially given the season he’s having.
Could see United going for him as a post Ronaldo and Cavani prestige signing, regardless of him being potentially at the tail end

Did his agent express the opposite regarding Arsenal?
The question for Haaland is simple, will he accept rotations with Vini, Benz and Mbappe? No? Off to City for him then.
Barca are still paying more than 50% of Coutinhos wages. Also, can't see Villa actually taking up his purchase option.

By Cleff Go To PostVilla now have a coterie of tricky attacking midfielders that I've no idea how you fit into a balanced side. Buendia, Bailey and Coutinho.Oh yeah, Cleff.
Should be good fun to watch though.

Publicly said he wouldn’t even answer the phone if Arsenal called.
But the club MUST have gotten some good indications from his camp if we are going this hard.

Going this hard? You haven't put a bid in. Ornstein has said you're the most likely to be able to put the required fee together this month, that's it.
By Killer7 Go To PostCouldn't Madrid play a 442 /4231 with Benz sort of playing as a 9 and a half?That's an option but would require tinkering our midfield, I think we want to stick to 4-3-3 and not fuck around with the Casemiro, Kroos and Modric trio, Even with our current 4-3-3 lineup Benz already plays as a false 9 of sorts, he's instrumental in building play like what Kane does for Spurs.
I'm also jaded from any Bundesliga signign after Jovic, so there is come bias there too.
By Cleff Go To PostSeems incredibly cheap.
If Wolves are willing to go that low we should make a bid for Neves.
He’s been refusing to sign a new deal for 18 months. It’s sell him this year or lose him next summer for free. Don’t think the price impacts other Wolves players
By Plasma Go To PostHe’s not worth it, Plasma. Just stick with Martinelli.

Fuck sake. Wanted to like it too.
Didn’t know she was an arsenal fan tbf. Knocks Bin Laden off top spot I spose

Even if it is for a good cause I can't say I like seeing us wearing a white shirt.
Love our club so much. Great campaign.

Dude is just as good as Haaland, Arsenal are attempting to sign him. That is pretty hard for me that we are trying to sign a generationL talent. All the big clubs in Europe should be trying to get him. RM, Barca, and PSG would be in for him if he was a flashier name.

I'm not going to pretend I've seen loads of him, I doubt he's on Haaland's level though.
But anyway my point was I don't know why you think you'll have gotten an indication of positivity from his camp just because it's known you're willing to pay a large fee this month. His agent has been publicly throwing shit at Arsenal, it's pretty well known at this point Arsenal would be quite far down his preference list. And I'm sure his camp have been aware for a while Arsenal were seriously willing to put together a big bid.
We'll see I guess.
Vlahovic is very much not as good as Haaland, and the reason other big clubs haven't been linked is because he's a classic 'hot streak' striker who immediately regresses to the mean once he moves.
Not that anything indicates he'd be an Andy Carroll level disaster, but a top club would be taking a gamble that his youth means he grows into the elite level.

I am not sure we can lump Vlahovic into the generational talent pool just yet especially since some guys just seem to score a lot in Italy but can't hack it elsewhere. He has no European experience -- that is where Mbappe and Haaland really solidified their level. His goals for Serbia have mostly come vs weak competition. He's shown enough to warrant a big club going for him though for sure.
I've read a fair bit suggesting his overall play outside of his finishing is fairly poor, can't hold up the ball well despite his size.

By cRrusheR Go To PostJust as good as Haaland? Based on what? Imagination?Based on playing in Série A, linked to Arsenal, and Serbia is closer to Italy than Norway. Vlahovic has ascended to honorary Italian merely for being in the presence of them.

you should send this info along to arsenal.

No, I like a big Arsenal flop. Like Pepe. Remember Pepe? That was great

I say that there must have been some indication because clubs go through months of preparing dossiers on players. We only usually get to see the headlines of player x is linked with club y at the very last moment when the fee is being disclosed. Arsenal would not be wasting time if we didn’t think he would be interested.
But as I said, it could also be that they are using us to get other teams interested this January.
As for others here, how many of you have actually watched Vlahovic?
I think he is just as good as Haaland and does it in a much tougher defensive league. Schick was a fucking bum in Serie A and yet is lighting up Bundasliga. And by just as good I meant what his game is based on is just as good as Haalands. He might not contribute as much in the build up if play, but his runs, movement, and placement is world class.
I don’t care what anyone says, you don’t equal the most goals in a calendar year without being an extreme talent. And that is with Fiorentina!!
