Hey for a second there, I thought AW was content with Giroud and Chamakh as our two front line attackers. Then reports flew in like a pigeon to some bread that Newcastle are lining up a move for a replacement striker. Why? Well Arsenal are reportedly offering £7m for the prolific striker from Newcastle, Demba Ba.
Ba has been somewhat of a spectacle since signing on a free transfer from West Ham last summer. To be honest, he scored some crackers last season and had a £7m release clause in his contract, which has expired (the clause, not the contract). So D day nonsense or actual possibility? Guess we’ll have to wait a little bit longer to find out. The player could quit St James’ Park with Arsenal offering him a step up the pecking order.
At £7m it’s not hard to predict that many other sides will be sniffing around the powerfully built French born forward but the promise of Champions League football, a tournament Demba Ba is yet to feature in, could see Wenger and Arsenal leading the race for his services. What’s more, we need a back up for Giroud. We can’t put our hopes on a trophy this season without a seriously good striker and equally impressive back up.
Ba has been slightly overshadowed by the arrival of national team-mate Papiss Cisse but still notched up 16 goals in his first term at Newcastle United and Pardew’s interest in Dutchman Luuk De Jong could be seen as a sign that he is resigned to losing the former West Ham man. Obviously not a done deal but surely with us needing a striker and the Toons looking to replace a striker, the puzzle pieces may just fall into place with this one.
Tweets have also been suggesting that Michael Owen could be a possibility, but I really can’t see that happening.
ReallY!
This is the best. News ever
I dont think arsene wenger will sign any player at all.i feel micheal essien loan move to arsenal is a rumour.getting dembaba is nt hopeful at all
WoW!!!!:/
We need a very good defensive midfield like m vella/tiote plz let wenger try for us the fans
Wenger pls go for good player like m”villa, for get about (BA) & get me m”villa, now or never
Your welcome
Will make my weeeeekend hop it happens also bring Cabaye
we need already made epl striker ba or dzeco will be ok
Iz a nice bargain if only wenger cn tell us we fans d truth abt tranfer dealins
DEM BA BA!
Essien is a better deal
D earlier Wenger raps dis deal,d beta 4 us all. Certainly we do need a striker wit EPL experience 2 bring Poldi & Giroud up 2 speed. Beta still,we culd get a DMF b4 d end of 2day. I ernestly pray so!!
I guess wenger and board has ever view this.. Or they keep on having a blind eyes and deaf ear on this…
AW will be able to get essien on loan but any moves for either cabaye,ba or dzeko is ruled out
Why would we go for someone who was described by the chelsea medical staff as a ticking time bomb with his bad knee that he has injections in before matches
probably wenger is gearing up to leave arsenal.
Wenger u know how to make simply excuse, if u r ready to enforce the team you had very long time to do it, but for me it seems to me you can do for hours than days and weeks, and we will see tomorrow morning what he would tell us (Arsenal fans)
up to now there is no a real player that has to talk directly, saying Micheal Easian, Ba, jumping side by side till mid night to night with empty hands
Pls aw bring me dzeko or ba nd I ll like to see teote in defencive line pls arsen
we fans are being hypertensive becouse of Arsenal. wenger please do something to make us happy for ones. you have d money buy qualility player thant can win truphy. player like DEMBA BA can strenthen our attarking force. please sign him
I really hope so he’s badly needed but I just can’t see it happening.
Ba nd m’villa wil b gud signing 4 us, wenger plz do d deals 2nite.
Wenger should try and get eithe m’villa, cabaye or tiote cos essien will not be guarrantee to play every match nd who knows whether he still not perform while at arsenal.
Dem baba has proven @ newcastle that his a good striker and i think he be signed and introduced straight into the team while Giroud should understudy him and know what it takes to play in the premiership. Then Giroud can be introduced gradually into the team
arsen should tell us the truth if he is signing or not we are tired of hearing targets and quality players.
Wenger is not going to sign anymore player. Wenger and the board are really playing with our emotions. They know how much we love this club but they don’t know that we could say bye bye like we do to some girls. Food for thought
arsene should tell us the truth if he is signing or not we are tired of hearing targets and quality players.
Pls, mr AW helpz us to sign quality players like tiote,m’villa,dzeko,parker,dempsey,baines,navas and even falcao 4rm athletico madrid
Pls we need attacker like m’villa & tiote
