Alessio Cerci

[Hunta]

We refused Vela at £3M, he's far superior to Cerci.

This window has turned into a nightmare if these rumours are true.

 

[Proof]

Champions League is not necessarily won by the best squad in the tournament. With a bit of luck we could reach the semifinals.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

Cerci and Alderweireld.

We trying to win the Champions league or the Europa league?

Except it wouldn't be just Cerci and Alderweireld.

It would be Cerci, Alderweireld, Alexis, Debuchy, Chambers, and Ospina all joining this summer, wouldn't it? Campbell too, for all intents and purposes.

Bar Sanchez and Chambers they're all downgrades.

Ospina and Debuchy are inferior to Fabianski and Sagna whilst Cerci and Alderweireld (inferior to Vermaelen) are average squad players .

I've seen nothing to suggest thats the case. Debuchy has been great so far, and Ospina hasn't even played for us yet!

 

[Hunta]

Said when we signed Debuchy I didn't rate him as much as others, having seen him he's better than I thought but he looks dodgy defensively to me and Sagna is solid.

We haven't seen Ospina in England yet so we don't know how he'll deal with the PL and Fabianski was probably the best second choice GK in England last season.

 

[Tir Na Nog]

I don't think we're going to sign Cerci.

 

[Iceman10]

I don't think we're going to sign Cerci.

If Podolski plays a part in today's match and we go through I would very much doubt it. My understanding is that a player is only not cup-tied if the team he played for in the qualifier was eliminated.

 

[Rex Stone]

I don't think we're going to sign Cerci.

We're not, as I said on the last page, it's some random French journo who's talking in maybes and possibilities while admitting he knows nothing himself. It's just everyone seems to love to run with the depressing angle and wail and moan about everything.

I guarantee if it was the same link to someone like Falcao or Cavani the same people would be saying "all speculation, it'll never happen" "AW has got tunnel vision for Sanogo" bla bla bla

 

[GDeep™]

Di Marzio says we're interested, so I would think there is something in it.

The Italian game is his patch.

The president says "Cerci's buyers are overseas". Us or Atleti?

 

[Yousif Arsenal]

A.Madrid just bought Griezmman i don't they'll buy Cerci too.

and Wenger last comments saying we aren't buying an attacker but you never know.

'Overseas' is something you would only use for the United Kingdom.

Good pickup

Has anyone actually watched a decent amount of this guy to give an assessment on his quality? His wikipedia makes his sound similar to Arjen Robben in his play style (tricky, left footed winger who loves to cut in from the right)

 

[Penn_]

Southampton were also meant to be in for him. Cerci and Rabiot are hardly players that should have needed CL confirmation before buying in terms of profile and fee.

Does watching his goal compilation count He's quick, can beat his man, reasonably powerful and has scored some scorchers from outside the area so if he comes here that'll quickly be corrected to a side ways pass

The only way we'll get him if AW is decided on Sanchez and or Theo playing up front. Or maybe even this guy. And Podolski would be leaving.

Again Di Marzio saying our interest is very strong to buy Cerci, and something could happen in next few days.

 

[Hunta]

Grim news, wouldn't put him ahead of any of our wide men, even Podolski.

Agree i have no idea why buy him we not lacking wingers, Maybe Wenger idea is to use Sanchez as long term CF and bring Cerci to play in the wings.

 

[Hunta]

Cerci just isn't that good though yousif, Campbell is better and hasn't seen much action so far.

This is bizarre.

 

[GDeep™]

How much will he cost? I saw 16-20M.

 

[blaze_of_glory]

This makes no sense to me either.

Unless its purely to get another body in due to Giroud being out. But that doesn't seem like Wenger's style.
