Sergi Samper

[tap-in]

Reminds me a bit of Wilshere..

We need to check his ankles thoroughly then!

 

[Furious]

It would be rude to unleash this monster of a player against the likes of Wanyama, Schneiderlin, Cattermole and other midtable "beasts" of this league, he'd end their career, and send them back to Rugby.

Get bellerin on this deal Sergi is his best mate.

Mundo Deportivo are pretty unreliable though, aren't they?

Flamini and Arteta are done after this season but also Cazorla. Cazorla has been done at top level for seasons now. He deserve his rest, the little fellah!

Sign this kid up if available, but I rather wait until summer and spend big on midfield.

I would say a good replacement for Cazorla when the legs will go, but atm Cazorla is still a vital player for us tbf for my liking.

Arsenal are interested in Samper for the January transfer window. They are willing to pay 6M, player's buyout fee is 12M. [sport]

Samper (20) could leave Barcelona B permanently for Arsenal in January or on loan. [md]

 

[Sweggeh]

Samper and Elneny in the same window would be amazing. Exactly the kind of freshening up our midfield needs. And it makes sense with Flamini, Arteta and Rosicky leaving in the summer.

Are they linked to barcastuff yousif?

 

[MutableEarth]

This would be a pleasant surprise

 

[Nyctophobia]

€6 mill is hardly anything in football terms, the price can't possibly be right or what?

Regardless, it's a guy we definitely should be looking to sign for that kind of price.

 

[Rocky]

Looks like quite some player. This all seems far too good to be true. I'm getting over excited because it is clear that Wenger is bringing in a midfielder. Someone please put this rumour into context, so I can see how clear it is that this obviously will not happen. I don't want to get my hopes up.

it's barca B stuff account because i think Samper play most games for Barca B. not the first team. He only played 4 games for the first team this season 2 in CL and 2 in Spanish cup.

Doesn't matter though, it's a guy we definitely should be looking to sign.

His release clause is just 12M euros. his contract end's in 2017

I think it would make sense to buy Elneny and take samper on loan till end of season with option to buy.

Why someone else could come in for him, we are preparing for next season early it seems. How about buy him then loan him out!

 

[blrgooner]

**** me, he's even better than I thought!! Do everything to get him, would instantly be our best midfielder. Looks quite big and strong too.

Sensational talent.

Looks like a serious serious talent. I hope we can get him or a player like him. Would be perfect for us.

If we were to get both Elneny and Samper, surely this is an indication that Wenger has all but given up on Wilshere. Not in a sense that he'd sell him, more that he'll take it as a bonus if Wilshere can overcome his injuries problems. But IF this was to happen, Elneny, Samper, Ramsey, Cazorla, Coquelin and a few others will all be competing for those two deeper positions.

While Özil obviously has number 10 role nailed down until he's no longer at Arsenal, with Cazorla probably the immediate back (or just a switch to 4-3-3 whenever Özil is not there). And there's no way Wenger is planning long term to have Wilshere as a wide-man.

Though knowing Wenger, signing two midfielders for the deeper roles in the one window or in a short space of time, is very unlikely. We'll wait and see though.

 

[silent_shadow]

Never actually watched him.

All I know is:

He's been raved about as easily the biggest talent of his Barca generation for the past 5 years, first the next Xavi then the next Busquets.
Wenger wanted him when we got Toral/Bellerin but he wanted to stay at Barca.
He's barely had any chances at Barca and their fans are annoyed at his treatment.
Remember some rumours recently his dad was desperate for him to come to Arsenal; saw how Bellerin has progressed.
La Masia youngsters don't get as many chances nowadays, likes of Grimaldo off now, wouldn't be shocking if Samper followed.
Their fans will be pissed if we get him and, for once, probably more annoyed at their board than us
​

Honestly I've never even wished for him because he seemed dedicated to making it at Barca and I figured he'd get the chance. Still not hopeful but it'll be a nice surprise (if he's as good as he's raved to be).

Exciting times if we buy two promising CM's in January.

My gut feelings tell me we'll only be getting one though.
