Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Not see him too much but im reading he is not bad player. if we sign him thats mean rvp is leaving for sure.

Or Theo is leaving?

Robin will probably sign a one-year extension. But Wenger might want to act quickly and find potential replacement.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Can't see Atletico letting him go at all, and we'd be too packed with wingers.

Or we could sign him and move Gervinho to AM i guess :?:

Hell no! his strengths are attacking space, movement and dribbling with his worst areas are decision making and passing accuracy.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

All these transfer rumours/activities going on about us is making me suspect that we are going to lose either RVP or Theo or maybe even both..

That's all true but i have faith

Those rumours always appear, always, maybe you're just linking it to losing our star players because it happened last season.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

yilmaz better than this guy if we want a small type player just buy m.suarez.

We've been linked to much more impressive players ability wise.This does'nt move me.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

This guy is 6ft tall, wouldn't say that's small.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Still think we could do with one more wide attacker. Not satisfied with Gervinho/Walcott/Chamberlain atm.

Agreed, but I don't see space for another attacker. We could most definitely do with improving our wide options but unless one of Gervinho/Walcott leaves it won't happen. Number wise we look set and with the additions of Giroud and Podolski our attack has gone up a few levels.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Would Adrian be more of a wide forward or CF in our set-up?

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

this transfer saga depends on theo future if theo leaves next window i think we will try to buy him his release clause is just 18m euros we can afford him and he is good winger.

 

[leo_ense]

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Would Adrian be more of a wide forward or CF in our set-up?

He could do both for us. He has great dribbling, vision and passing ability so he can excel in many positions. I would love to see him used as a false 9 (ala Gervinho) to cause havoc. Combining him with Podolski, Cazorla, Arteta and Wilshere we will absolutely steamroll teams.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Really hope nobody here is turning up their noses at this guy. Looks the business to be honest.

Last season he was good but even previous seasons show that that wasn't quite the one-off it was perceived to be.

Were we to replace Mary-anne with this guy I'd be ecstatic. He'd likely bring everything that Pedro brings to Barcelona which is close to 20 goals a season and 10+ assists.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Surprisingly unproductive in front of goal (at least in La Liga, he bangs em in in Europe), yet brings all the attributes we need from our wide forwards.

There's better players, but this guy ain't bad at all.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Adrian would be a fantastic acquisition if we can't get the other top strikers. He can play wide, he can play central. He has one of the silkiest dribbling skills I ever seen. Top notch finishing as well.

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

A front three of Podolski, Gervinho and Adrian is REALLY appealing, there's absolutely everything there to cause troubles to a lot of defences, and the three of them constantly switching positions is mouth-watering. His versatility is a huge plus as well seeing the lack of depth and possibly quality we have at centre forward atm.

He isn't the best candidate available if Theo leaves, but I would definitely not say no to him. Strikes me as very realistic as well. He should fit in nicely as well, as he reminds me a bit of a slower Theo who can dribble.

Bring on the Spanish revolution!

 

[ArsenesNO1Fan]

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

He does seem like our bag:

1. His team desperate for money
2. Low release clause
3. Technically silky skills
4. Spanish link up with Cazorla and Arteta
5. Links up much better in our system with Giroud/Podolski than Llorente

Probably only happens if Theo or Chamakh goes though

 

[thedon5]

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Why Chamakh?

He's not even an option.

 

[ArsenesNO1Fan]

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

Why Chamakh?

He's not even an option.

He's a squad member taking up wages, we need to free up wages and squad places

Re: Adrian Lopez Alvarez

You know what I say, I say we sign the guy who Atletico wants to replace Falcao with. It seems whenever their main striker goes they replace with absolute quality. Torres, Aguero, Falcao, who next? Maybe Adrian Lopez, guess we should sign him then!
