Arsenal poach Monaco striker from Lille! Wenge’s surprise signing is ready for a medical!

Posted on August 27, 2011 by admin

Arsene Wenger never fails to surprise us, and it looks like he has pulled off a coup by hijacking the move of Monaco’s South Korean striker Park Chu-Young, who had agreed terms with Lille and was supposedly on his way to the north of France to complete a medical with the Ligue 1 Champions.

Instead it seems he has instead headed to the Emirates to finalise a move to Arsenal! The Lille President Michel Seydoux said: “We haven’t had a telephone call, nothing.”

“From what we understand he could be at Arsenal.”

“Like Monaco, Lille are baffled! Everything about his move had been agreed.”

“This type of behaviour is not acceptable, in any event it doesn’t correspond with the spirit here at Lille.”

Even the BBC has confirmed that the 26 year-old is expected to sign for Arsenal once he completes his medical, and although Wenger will be very happy to have sealed the signing, I can’t imagine that Lille are going to be open for any further talks with Arsenal about Eden Hazard!

    11 goals in 32 games in ligue 1 last, not exactly going to set the premier league on fire. Wenger needs to strengthen the First team not the squad :-(

    monaco got relegated thats why hes cheap, from what i ve seen of him hes pretty good. people said nasri was unknown unproven and i bet you were one of them Chris. i think he will be a good addition but we still need a creative attacking cm.

    @Chris

    Whilst I dont know much about Park Chu-Young, I take Wenger’s judgement over yours!!

    Could he be Arsenal equivalent to utds Park Ji-Sung, a hard working 2nd choice??

    No striker coming in is going to push captain RVP for his position

  8. Kamiel says:

    Im just scared this will jeopardise the Hazard move. Wenger said he wants 3 players. A striker obviously as he has said, A defender as he has bid for Jagielka and Cahill and I’ve heard many reports about M’Vila joining. Does that mean Hazard isn’t on the agenda or am I wrong somewhere?

    Yeah because you all knew about Gervinho, Nasri etc
    He looks like a decent striker from the small amount of French Ligue football ive watched, looks like what we need when RVP is out injured
    Love how some fans moan when he dont sign anyone then we are set to sign someone and they moan, what were you expecting? Benzema? Lol
    Good signing now lets sign a CB and creative midfielder

    I don’t think Hazard is coming anyway. Lille turned down a 30m offer. I don’t think he’s worth offering 35m.

    If we can get in M’Villa or Marvin Martin, I think we have the quality to challenge on a few fronts.

    I’m sure Wenger is going to make a big money move for Cahill on deadline day, but he won’t move big till he has to.

    How in the world can we be stealing a player who has no contract or connection to a club. We pay the asking price of his current club, thats all is needed.

    Next you’ll be asking Arsene to contact any perspective player’s other future perspective employers, he just cant win with some people lol

    i heard of him but as we all know asian players always give 100% and that to me is an important thing for us right now
    i believe it will sadly mean no Hazard but think 3 players coming in likely to be,
    Cahill
    Gourcuff/Martin – maybe even both if AW feels we short in midfield
    Park

    @Chris

    ‘If he has any half decent we would be fending off big clubs for his signature. He sucks, his team got relegated.’

    that is the stupidest comment going lol hes not a one man team, plenty of sides have been relegated whilst having decent players….

    Parker
    R Johnson
    C Adam

    theres 3 players who were in teams that got relegated last year and are all decent footballers

    Falcao joined Atletico Madrid, hes a class striker, why didnt Barca, Madrid, Chelsea etc fight for his sugnature? because they didnt need him

    and not everyone is after that sort of player so not everyone will fight for his signature, no one said he was the next ronaldo lol no one had heard of Park Ji Sung when he joined UTD and now his a key figure in their big matches, he could be what we need

    I hope you know that Squillaci was in the top 10 defenders in the Castrol rankings when he joined for us. He was the 17th best footballer worldwide(across positions) iirc.

    It’s because of people like you asking for “proven” talent that we got Squillaci and lost Nordtveit, who is now having an amazing time in the Bundesliga.
    So just stop criticizing Wenger and let him do what he does best. He is a professional and you are not.

    Some people are fools from the get go.
    How could you judge a player just because He’s unknown? That’s the Wenger’s way of doing things.Even Henry, Viera were unkowns when they came.Look @ big flops like Davor Suker, Jose Antonio Reyes….And I feel Wenger was smart selling Nasri for such a boom….He is good but not excellent was even not yet moulded the Arsenal way for such a long period so its a gain selling him and buying the speedy Ivorian.Nasri’s style was slow as hleb was and he’s the quarter a season player even after NOT GOING to the world cup….Proven EPL players my foot….

    Great cover for RvP and can certainly cause a lot of damage with his direct running. Imagine a great passer Walcott. Well that’s what we’re getting.

    Good.

    1) We piss of Lile so much that we have to buy Kaka instead. Id rather have Kaka anyway.

    2) We do a deal with Lile for Hazzrd that gives them Bendtner. Two birds, one stone.

    Id still like a better striker though with Chamak and Gervhinio going out for a couple of months.

    Some of you fellas are missing the point. We need a striker to replace Bendtner. Is this guy better than Bendtner? HELL YES!! Not to mention since his transfer is 3-5m we will be making a PROFIT if we sell nik B, therefore the club would still have plenty of funds to bring in other players!

    For me, i would be excstatic if our signings are Park, M’vila, Cahill and (god i hope so) a Hazard/Elia

Yet u all talk like it is happening. Also, maybe, just maybe lille mean it when they say they wont sell. Gervinhos stats are much better, and he was much better value, so we bought him. When will football Fans learn to spot the difference between media hype and reality. Most of u have never even seen him play.

    You guys are idiots if you think Park sucks.
    He may not be the best striker in the worl, but he’s certainly an awesome one.
    He’s better than Bendtner and Chamakh together.
    Pretty good header of the ball, good dribbling skills, INCREDIBLE free kicks. Decent shooting, and he’s certainly experienced. First choice for Monaco even though they were relegated AND most importantly, Captain of South Korea.
    You guys have to stop believing that just because someone is known or hyped he will be a good signing.

    Look at Fernando Torres… nuff said.
    I’ll be happy if we sign Park Chu Young, Gourcuff/Martin, M’villa, a CB.

    3-5m for Park.
    Nasri’s earnings for Gourcuff/a bit less for Martin.
    The supposed 20m for M’villa from Fabregas earnings.
    10-15m for a CB.
    And then Wenger can spend whatever he wants on young players.

    Great signing especially value wise. Let’s try to get a creative midfielder and a strong experienced centreback for Verms.

    Fantastic to see more Arsenal fans not give Wenger undeserved criticism. Let’s get behind our team and show the league we’re still a formidable force!

    As for Hazard, well he’ll be worth over $30-35M if he has another good season with Lille. Would Wenger really buy him next year if Eden is worth that much? Let’s be realistic here people. Wenger is an avid fan of the winger but he’s too smart too risk that much for a single player and I think it’s the Board that will make that executive decision. I mean….what have the fans (us) learnt about the Board this year?

    Oh God, just a win over Udinese – and all Arsene Wenger lickers r back….

    Guys – can’t u accept criticism of AW? Hv yr parents been so delusional in life that they didn’t teach you basic virtue to question failures ( AW is a fckng failure for the last 6 years ) …

    So Baz, Chris & Adam Kemps are always proven right – it’s a shame that a club like ours had to struggle thru play-offs to qualify for top draw Champions league this time…

    Just watched Chelsea’s match – Mata & Lukaku- both were supposed to be on our radar – and we lost both of them to Chelsea- by the way no player had left Chelsea

    But 2 of our best players went for other top clubs & we r sitting with 60 Million pounds…what r we supposed to do with that ? Common sense tells that we should invest in similar quality players signings, isn’t it ? Anybody disagree ? Now well- we r just 4 days away & yet we do not hv their replacements…what do u call it?

    Arsenal Board & AW are i hand & gloves to rob Arsenal supporters- they r only interested in inting money..a look at our side would show weakness – yet you lickers of AW would keep sucking him…

    Get lost & get a grip on life…try to know the virtues of winning…

And for Arsene to do this to Lille means Hazard was never on the table! So well done Arsene (hope he actually signs!) and as I have said before – let him do what he does best!This was on nobody’s radar – so who knows what else is being hatched!

    A personnel from monaco by the name of etienne confirms arsenal made a bid today. Young guns on twitter confirms player is at the colney for a medical,has met with the players. Arsenal is said to ve bid 3mil to go to 5mil. According to j. Sanders,who is also a scout,park is good with both feet,can play right and left wing as well as centre forward. I guess this is bye bye to bendtner.

    I think arsenal has done no wrong as we only put in a bid which appears to ve been accepted. For those saying wenger has destroyed arsenal’s chances of landing hazard,how re you sure lille would let us ve hazard? It will be unprofessional for their(lille’s) president to take this personal,as it will mean jeopardizing players ambition cos of his emotions.

    Whats the problem Asif – don’t like it when Arsenal FANS actually stick up for a manager that is respected the world over except by those who CLAIM to support the team!!!
    I don’t think you are a fan at all because if you were you’d do this great manager the courtesy of waiting till the deadline passes and then giving us the benefit of your ‘great opinion’.
    Viva Arsenal, Viva Wenger!

    60-3 =57million at the moment….by my reckoning thats 57 million too much. YOU GET WHAT YOU PAY FOR IN LIFE…3million tells me he is an average player and some koreans say he is crap…what a joke!….wengers early deals with anelka etc were a fluke…he plays the same tactic and its failing miserably now…although the squillacci deal for 5.5 million was 5.5million overpriced.He wont buy quality at the price you expect to pay..he is a bottler!
    very good logical and realistic comments by asif

    He is a very average Ligue 1 player. It is a very bad choice made in the hurry and because no good player wants to join Arsenal and no club would let a good player leave at this stage of the transfer window. Still to be confirmed but this guy is going to be another Silvestre or Squillaci.

    elia would be a perfect replacement for nasri and montolivo would be a more than perfect replacement for fabregas, i just hope wenger can realize this. what do you guys think?

    if anyone has been watching French league too for the past seasons, you’ll know who Park is. Is he a good signing? Hell YES. South Korean players are known for their high work rate. Secondly, he can really pass a ball well and yes, he can score goals too. One man does not make a team, trying putting Messi in Norwich and see whether can they win the league. And for people who’s asking for Wenger to be replaced, would any manager like to manage Arsenal with fans like you showing such “supportiveness”.

  89. i knew this would happen once we qualify for champions league propa.”COMPLECENCY”now they think we have a very strong team after the udinese match.To those who are saying you have watch him on Utube n he’s quality, weren’t you the same people who said Squillaci was quality after watching some of his successful tackles n interceptions on Youtube? Just give us what we want,because wid names like Hazard n Ribery fear can be instilled into defenders.

  90. Wenger is a joke says:

    What did you expect Wenger was going to get as his 3rd choice striker, you spoilt brats.

    Ps. He is not unknown. Just because you never heard of him doesn’t mean he didn’t exist before now.

    @Adojo, VIVA YR BALLS ….

    You must be a moron to wait for the transfer window…dumb as u r, all great clubs have finished their signing..they don’t wait for te final moment of transfer window…not a club whose 2 best players have left & they would struggle to finish Top 4 in this EPL…

    The problem with u AW lickers is that – u don’t see reality because yr whole life has been spent on mediocrity and the rest of it goes in licking AW’s balls….

    @ BAZ,

    Never mind, these dumbsquids were never alive in this blog a fortnight ago when all of us were relinquishing what a fckd up state our Club is in…one win at Udinese – suddenly these AW licker r back in their motion…

    As I keep repeating, these nuts do not have balls to look at the mirror. M somewhat sick of these herd mentality of a group of supporters who just ride the tide….

    Just wait and watch – 4 more days to go… if we do not sign 3/4 quality & experienced players ( specially in Midfield & CB ) – u just see what our situation becomes in a month’s time….

    Really good to see you & some others sticking to the basic point & give a kick in these lickers’ balls….

    How can arsenal be called an elite club if we can not bid for a star of the sort of Hazard
    If indeed AW did perform such a “Rambo hijacking” then he should not even dream of making a bid for the virtuoso hazard. Hazard is such a massive talent and it sounds awful to me that he could be exchanged for Park Chu-Young. It would also be very hypocritical on wenger’s part if indeed he whisked the player who was on the verge of completing a move to another club. Wenger has been very vocal about fairness and respect and what hes done is just a betrayal to his own believes and principles.

    If arsenal signs him, to me, it means betrayal to lille and backstabing and it wont allow cordial relationship and signing between the two clubs. A player that has gone through medical suddenly went through medical in arsenal without normal procedures.

    why not buy hazard a guy with a winning mentality, can play as a LW or CAM n link up with our best signing in a while (Gervinho) feed RVP like crazy till he doesn’t want 2 score anymore, n most inportantly we also sign a striker to back- up RVP Theo hi been begging 4 chances up front n can be an amzing impact super sub like Chicarito was 4 united last season, then sign Lass Diarra or M’villa 2 partner song so Wilshere can be our 1st choice playmaker n ramsey can rotate 2 make sure he doesn’t fatigue, sell arshavin, squid, bendtner n almunia n use the funds 2 buy verthongen n cahill so we have NO LB issue or CB ISSuE n also 2 keep those greedy pigs (the board) happy, how hard is it arsene?

    summary: 4 signings 4 issues resolved (this would take 5yrs to fix if we leave it like the goalkeeping issue)

    Are you kidding me?.Wenger should buy him in a new york minute….i’m a Nigerian and i watched this guy at the world cup coz S.Korea was in our group alongside greece and Argentina.This guy is quality,he scored a free-kick against us and Nigerians who knew how important that match was will never forget him.i’m a gooner as my family,so we freaking want him at Arsenal.

    If Arsenal is really to compete this season like any other club say Man City/U, Chelsea, Liverpool mention it, Park Chu-Young is not enough to solve the club’s problems he can only solve 20 percent of the club’s problem. Arsenal needs more two serious signings.
