Tribal Footbal :?:

anywho too similar to Flamini in my eyes and Wenger doesn't buy english players. :wink:

 

[Karlos2]

Bayern have also thrashed dortmund 5-0 at home.

 

[Gazza Martinez]

Would he be much of an improvement on Flamini?

 

[patrick42uk]

of course he will. i love flamini, but hargreaves is technically superiror to and as energetic as flamini. not to mention more experienced. we are talking about a player with a cl winners medal here.

Fair enough. Personally, I don't think he's worth it, but if Edu leaves, then he might be worth a look. Would Bayern be willing to sell?

 

[patrick42uk]

his contract expires in 2006. i read somewhere they would accept a 5 million bid.

 

[Gooner4Life]

I wouldn't mind him tbh.

He can play at right back too and anyway in midfield really. I like versatile players and I would welcome him to Highbury.

 

[Karlos2]

I think he could be a good addition, iv always felt that he should get a longer time on the pitch for england than he gets.

 

[famous no 10]

Yeah, I'd like to see him at arsenal, good work rate, a bit like Parlour but better.

 

[Clarkey]

Yeah I was going to bring up the Parlour comparison, he could be the guy we need/ miss at times. Right price, and five million sounds a bargain really with the over inflated prices for people of his ilk like Carrick, champions league experience. Sounds good.

 

[OneProudGooner]

If we've got the cash and its likely Edu will leave he would be a welcome addition.
Who knows if he plays for us maybe it'll help him into the England squad if he's playing quite regularly over here to Sven can actually come down Highbury to see how he plays.

 

[n_henry]

If Edu leaves, I'd very much welcome him here.

But even if Edu stays, if Bayern would let him go for 5mil, I say we go for it. He'd be a great squad player, and he can play anywhere in midfield. He's only 24 too (I think).

 

[seanconvey66]

ive always liked him but any move would definetley be dependent on the price i think

 

[Jinn]

Would we need him? Is he as good at Edu at moving the ball around in the middle? Because that's what we'll be missing if 'du leaves.

You dont need to go like for like when someone leaves. When Overmars left we signed Pires, who was the same position but an entirely different type of player and that didnt work out to bad.

 

[AfC_li4nGht]

yepx... He can play any position at the midfield area... Good buy, best buY, muSt buy :angel

Yeah, but we've really missed Edu's play when he's been missing. Supposing Edu leaves, shouldn't we get someone more suited to moving the ball around rather than a Gilberto-ish or Flamini-ish or Parlour-ish player?

 

[GoonerGurjit]

Quite honestly I would prefer Scott Parker to Hargreaves.

 

[KingReyes]

Quite honestly I would prefer Scott Parker to Hargreaves.

Are you serious? Parker has as much technical ability that Hargreaves has in his big toe. But thats your opinion I guess, lets not forget this is a guy still to hit his peak and plays regulary for one of Europe's biggest teams.

He's got Flamini's energy level but his level of passing and ball movement is better. However as I mentioned above he does have added experience that Flamini doesn't have, would be a good signing if we could get him.
