As the transfer window progresses, the Arsenal transfer gossip in the papers is becoming more and more outlandish! Absolutely every single paper is spouting the rumour that Arsenal are considering a swap with Real Madrid involving Cesc Fabregas and Gonzalo Higuain.
Admittedly the Argentinian striker is a class act, but how many denials is it going to take before the press realise that the Arsenal captain is not going anywhere? And there is just no way that Wenger is going to pay £35m to Madrid for a cash deal, not a hope in hell!
But that hasn’t stopped the agent of Mauro Zarate from Lazio also claiming that Arsenal are willing to part with 40m euros for his client. “Arsenal wants to increase their attacking options and so already they are preparing an offer of €40million….”
I want some of whatever that agent is smoking. It certainly gives him some interesting dreams!
Now the rumours surrounding the young English star Victor Moses sounds much more plausible. Crystal Palace have already admitted that he is likely to be sold to balance the books, and at around £5m is much closer to the amount that Arsene Wenger is likely to invest. And he is scoring goals for fun in the Championship. He would be useful now, and also an investment for the future. The story goes that Palace will even accept £1.5m as a fee for a loan until the end of the season, with the option to make it permanent in the summer. That sounds like a good deal to me.
The Daily Star’s story that Wenger is intending to re-sign Sol Campbell as cover until the end of the season, if Phillipe Senderos can be off-loaded to Everton, is even more unlikely than Higuain and Zarate. Wenger has already said that there is no chance of a return, and why would he employ a has-been when he can promote one of his beloved youngsters?
