Can Arsene pull out a Diego Costa?

Is that you Arsene?
The rumours started sipping into the 'twitter-sphere' about 3 days ago - Arsenal scouts at Atletico Madrid looking out for Diego Costa.

Wonder if it ever crossed your mind that the scouts may be there for something or someone else? A youth player perhaps? I think the glaring need for another striker to prevent Giroud from collapsing may have fuelled this rumour.

However, the thought of Diego Costa to Arsenal, although not as titillating as the Suarez or Cavani rumours, isn't an unwelcome idea. The striker is versatile as he can play on the wings and as a forward plus, he has been an assassin in-front of goal for Atletico Madrid with about 21 goals to his name in just 16 matches, that's almost three times Giroud's tally.

Just allow yourself to fantasize a little bit...

Diego Costa feeding of Ozil and Ramsey's assists, even Giroud's assists if we ever play two upfront.

Orgasmic aye?

But it's all left to be seen. Atletico are doing pretty well at the moment and share points with Barcelona and are a good five points ahead of Real Madrid. Would you sell Diego Costa if you were Atletico and in the fight to stay in Champions League football?

That's the question I ask myself when I'm bombarded with these rumours.

Diego Costa to Arsenal might not be impossible, nuts! Wenger stunned us with Ozil. However, the timing doesn't seem or feel right. Hopefully a fit Podolski, Walcott, Chamberlain and Serge can give us the much needed bite while we wait till the summer window for maybe Diego Costa...Suarez?

What do you think?

These Are Trying Times To Be An Arsenal Fan

4th July 2013 By Mister Spruce


Should Gooners Be Worried By Lack of Big Signings So Far? - Bleacher Report

These are indeed trying times to be an Arsenal fan. Everyone seems to be buying someone of proven quality and experience, our rivals, our neighbours, even the Sp*ds. Then there's Sanago..., but we know it'll take awhile before he plays 1st team so on to other things.

Our 'market stall' seems eerily quiet, some say something big's cooking others like me are a bit pessimistic; one of the reasons I've been off twitter for awhile. The ITK's don't seem to know so much anymore, the silence is unnerving, I'm afraid...


Arsenal fail with bid for Lyon's Clement Grenier - SkySports

The previous article says we've not signed any big names, which is true; we've not signed any middle/medium names either like Grenier and maybe Aubameyang. It seems all our efforts to sign quality players get knocked back. Are we offering too little? Maybe below the going market price? I dunno.

We hear Higuain is not done and there was never a look in Fellaini's direction, we can't afford Casillas and Fabregas wants to remain at Barca. Jovetic wants Juventus and Rooney wants ruining with money from the money bags PSG. I can hear Judas laughing and I don't want to think of the impending competition we're going to face this season.

And so the big signings seem to be all but taken, we then seem to settle for the good enough 'has-beens' like...

Gareth Barry to join Arsenal or Spurs? - The Guardian

This might be a rumour, I hope it is. It's not like he's not a good player but we have a lot of good players at Arsenal, at this point, we want exceptional talent; we want amazing.

I know I sound like a pessimist, maybe I am but, the English Premier League would be one tough nut to crack this season; make no mistake, Ferguson's exit hasn't made it any easier.

Like what you read? Agree or Disagree? Follow me on twitter @Misterspruce1 where I will be sporadically until the transfer window is shut and bolted.


Feature : Biggest Summer Ever

18th May 2013 By Lala @Lalawele_97

Hey guys I'm the new writer here! I am from Sweden and I've been supporting Arsenal since 2012. I was very happy to got the chance to write on this blog, i hope i will do a good job and make the readers satisfied would be gladly if you could give me response on my Twitter.

Today I will talk about Arsenal transfer targets if this is going be a good summer, where in the media it been circulated that Wenger have been given 70 million to spend. First of all if you wanna attract the best players you need to play  UCL  it's the best way to get  the best players is to play there cause every footballers dream is to play the UCL. Ask any young footballer today they want to play there  ,they want to be successful.  For me we are lacking at some positions  mostly i feel midfield is our main priority ,where we really  need a defensive midfield even though Ramsey been outstanding there fighting, winning balls, and start counter attacks , he should play there but i still believe we need a real DM,

I think a great DM would be Celtic's powerhouse Victor Wanyama. His strong good tackler and a classic DM very similar to Patrick Vieira. We have been heavly linked with Song the player we sold to Barcelona last season according to Rigobert Song who is one of Song,s relatives
is saying that he don't enjoy life in Spain. Song was a leader at Arsenal  last season he scored 1 goal and did 9 assists in the BPL.  Last season he  played winning goals and was one of our best players i wouldnt say no to him at  the moment we need a DM  i would like to see Wanyama, his young got talent and is a really good player , probably the best DM we could get at the moment. More for the interview of Song its here.
