Mod edit:
Club Director Lord Harris has stated that Wenger has a top CF in he wants to sign but that it will be hard to convince his club to sell him.

Discuss this here please, until we know who it actually is.



Lads, Lord Harris just dropped that bomb. Let's talk about that. :p

  • Player is a striker
  • He wants to come here
  • Selling club needs pursuading
  • Selling club want a 'superstar' to replace him

Benzema, surely.

Not signing another outfielder? Typical arsenal. I won't be sad when we're out of the title race by Christmas because I would of expected it
No chap, I think the way to read it is 'not signing any old outfielder', he has his eyes set on something big. Özil/Sanchez/Cech big...Have faith

Well sounds like he's got a target and its big. And sounds like we might have work all summer to make it happen.
I don't whether to be optimistic or annoyed after reading that article tbh! lol Saying we could go into the market and buy any player in the world, bar half a dozen.. Doubt that half a dozen includes Lewa and Benzema..? Get it done Arsène.


"You’ve got to get the other team to want to sell him, but I think he wants to come. It basically comes down to whether the other team can find a superstar to replace him, because they don’t have to sell."

It's Reus and Benzema..I knew it!

Actually, Cross is saying we've done our business unless something changes and we get a call back on some top player.

I'm not happy about no out field signings, why does Wenger always do this?

He is basically saying the same thing Wenger said a couple of days ago: If we get the opportunity to buy an exceptional talent (obviously a striker) we will try to do it.

Don't see why you guys are being so pessimistic. We've just learned from a legit source in the club that Wenger is indeed after a striker, and one that will likely require our transfer record to be broken to get. Can't say that's not ambitious.

After the players we landed last two summers I think this news is extremely exciting.

And if you don't get Benzema, then what? Sign no one and try again next summer? When a decent guy alongside Giroud probably gets you in a title chase.

We know we'll sign Benzema if he's available, but what if he's not? Wait till next summer?

Why would Harris give this interview now though? Madrid will just ask for more money, unless a price is agreed. :eek::eek:

Well, hopefully we have a back-up option. Doubt that option is Lewa but hope there's someone else in the pipeline.

Any truth in the rumour that welbeck may be sold to Besiktas ? That Wenger didn't want him permently in the 1st place only on loan until a suitable giroud replacement became available

I have no idea what will happen.

My own sense is still that we're in for both a striker and a midfielder. Don't think any of these journos have the real scoop on what we're doing, they very rarely do until the deals are almost done. Problem as ever though, and as you know, is that Wenger won't compromise on the players. He'll have his shortlist and if they can't be had then he won't make a move.

He's talking about Benzema though, and we've heard again today he wants to stay at Real.

We seem to have two competing narratives emerging on that. This guy seems to suggest that they have reason to believe he does want to come, with the agent apparently saying he doesn't want to.

We'll just have to wait and see.
