Arsenal miss out on Mirallas-Silva loaned out again
Belgian international Kevin Mirallas told the media earlier this week that his representatives had spoken to Arsenal about a potential move to the Emirates from the Greek side Olympiacos. The 24-year old said he was keen on a move to the Premier league, and his price tag of around £6 million seemed very reasonable. Mirallas will not be playing for Arsenal, however, after Talksport reports that the player and his club have agreed terms with Everton.
Mirallas can play anywhere along the front line, and topped the Greek scoring tables last season with 20 league goals. I think that maybe the “interest” from Arsenal and Arsene Wenger could have been overstated to force Everton to move quickly. No disrespect to David Moyes’ side, but they could not outbid us or offer a more attractive proposition. The only thing that Everton could offer Mirallas over Arsenal is playing time.
Perhaps Mirallas has looked at the likes of Nicklas Bendtner and Marouane Chamakh and decided to ease himself in to English football. More likely is that Wenger does not need another bench warmer.
Arsenal’s 19-year old Brazilian, Wellington Silva, is being given another chance to prove himself in Spain. After previous loan deals to Levante and Alcoyano, the youngster is heading to the Spanish second division side Ponferradina. Silva desperately needs to get some playing experience, and could be the first in a number of Arsenal youngsters to join the Spanish club on loan. Spanish paper AS believes that the two clubs have made a formal arrangement.
Bring in rossi Villarreal are desperate for funds

That’s okay. I really did look forward to having him at rhe Emirates but come on, we have already had the best summer in seven years with these three signings. Expecting more is unrealistic…somewhat.

Do we really need another prospect young striker. if evertom buy him gudluck to both parties.
Think rvp wants to stay n wenger wants to see how the fans react to him. if they react badly he will be off to man u.

I think the idea of rossi is a great one even though he is injured.he will not cost alot like previously said but if and when rvp leaves he would give us a great option of a fox in the boc type of striker i have wanted arsenal to sign.alongside giroud who is a mobile targetman and podolski versatile speedy strikr rossi would be great but unfortunately he is injured

I’m sure Wenger can find a good option. Apparently we’re interested in Llorente which seems reasonable. Would be good replacement for RVP. Llorente, Giroud, Podolski is one of the best striking options (if not the best considering we use 1 striker) in the league. I personally never knew about this guy but from what I’ve heard we’ve missed out on a great prospect.

My concern that when RvP leaves we will be left with with Bredtner, Chamack and the South Korean guys and no one wants them and if Podolski or Giroud gets injured or out of form we are stuffed. These 3 strikers are less than adequate and at least two of them have proved it in numerous times. The depth in some positions has something to be desired if we aim for silverware.

So we didn’t get Niang (who’s supposedly got a trial with Everton too?) or Mirallas, so what. We’ve got Joel Campbell waiting in the wings. We need to sell Park, Chamakh & Bendtner before any new strikers are brought in.

I would like to see Yanga-M’Biwa/Sakho and M’Vila signed whether Song goes or not. And if Van Persie leaves, i think Giroud and Podolski are more than good enough to take over and we also have Gervinho and Walcott who can play up front. But we need to get rid of the deadwood if we can such as Squillaci, Arshavin, Chamakh, Park and Bendtner and send a few more of the younger players on loan to get some more experience such as Jenkinson, Yennaris, Miquel, Frimpong, Coquelin and Lansbury.

If Van Persie leaves, a versatile forward wouldn’t hurt, if song leaves I assume m’villa wud be his replacement, at least m’villa loves defending, song isn’t a dm anymore, he’s more of a cm now, he prefers creating, he suits a more box to box role, we got a lot of box to box players, just they don’t stay fit all the time, so if we can get sahin and mvilla, that wud cover our asses loool

Lets be totally honest here. bendtner chamakh and park are all better strikers. giroud is also a better striker whilst podolski and rvp are amongst the very best. if we are going to replace rvp it needs to be with a better player than giroud at least. we need a player at the top level someone scoring 20+ goals in the top 4 leagues england spain germany or italy not a player from leagues in the third level. greece and turkey come in that level.

Mvila is still Arsenal bound, irrelevant of what happens with Song. Looks like were missing out on Sahin though he’s heading to liverpool on loan should be confirmed tomorrow.
Would rather purchase Mvila then get Sahin on loan anyway. All though he’s a good player i dont see the point in us giving him a year then sending him back to Madrid especially when we have more then enough creative options in the midfield, if it was a permanent deal then thats different.
Never really took interest in this story no doubt he’s a good player but i don’t think he’s any better then any other wingers we have at the club plus i think were more then covered in that position as well especially with the younger talent we have to come through.

If RVP goes i dont know what wenger will do, in all honesty i cant see him bringing in another striker of RVP’s calibur. The only one’s available are well over priced e.g Lewondowski /Cavani i think Llorente could be snapped up for under 20m but it looks like Juve’s all but signed him now.

Well good riddance to RVP. The question that now remains will his fee be reinvested or pocked for profits. I would not be surprised to see one bargain signing at around $6 million before the transfer period ends and that’s it. That would leave around $30 million left on the table from his transfer and Arsene’s summer war chest not spent on catching the top two finishers from lat year. IMO around $20 million should spent on further upgrades and let the board pocket the rest,lol. If they pocket all the cash and the club fails to win a trophy this is just another case of the same old BS. Let’s face it with the squad as is Arsenal are just an injury or two from fighting for the top four instead of silverware! An upgrade at keeper has been needed for years and neglected and another real striker if Girouds caliber or better would provide the depth and coverage needed to compete with Man C&U. At any rate, I can’t wait to see Sunderland crushed this weekend!

Finally the news is out and frankly I’ve got two feelings about this, One am sad to see him leave to Man U, and let’s be realistic guys poldi and giroud will need a miracle to replace him that soon and since wenger said we already signed his replacement that we means we ain’t gonna buy anoda striker, chamack and park are not good back up strikers. Two, it’s a good business cos it shows RVP wanted money and NOTHING ELSE, I’ll be happy if the money can re-invested back into the team my pick will be Llorente cos looking @ it, the best strikers are either not available or too expensive for us, and guys don’t even think about lewandoski, he’s no where near Llorente. Here’s my take
Sign Llorente, if u can get sahin, and a defender, and we will forget about RVP like he never existed.
And guys why are you afraid of losing song, there are loads of replacements for him, capoue, m’villa will do his job perfectly, so if he wanna let him go.
There’s light @ the end of the tunnel.

Mirralas will be on the bench if he comes to Arsenal because he is only the backup for Podolski and Girould. Therefore we don’t have to worry or care about this situation. Keep one of Chamakh, Arshavin or Park can solve the problem. Gervinho may be the backup ỏ centre forward, too. I personally think that on attack we don’t need any more. What we want more now is in midfield.
