I see what you mean but to be honest who knows what goes through Wengers head. We´ll probably know if it´s on or off in 24h, or at least if Arsenal are in it or not.

The Gaffer being in Belgium bodes well though, I wonder if the plan is that him, Heitinga and Mirallas will travel back to Liverpool together. That would give Moyes ample time to convince the kid.

Still, it´s in Arsenals hand really, if they don´t want him, we´ll get him for sure, but if they do, our chances are slim with the londoners holding the trumph card; the lure of Champions league football.

Having to sell to Man U is a bitter pill for them; they'll want to make a statement now.
Maybe wishful thinking, but I'm not sure that RVP leaving = an increased bid for Mirallas (who they could have easily afforded anyway)

Yep. Real Sociedad for £4m-£6m ish I think.

Also, how well have they done to get £24m for a badly injury prone player who's 29 and has 1 year left of his contract?

There's a lot of things you can say about Wenger, but he can be a shrewd bugger at times.

Even better (for them), then.

Yes, Mr Wenger has been impressive this window. RVP is 29, he doesn't look to me like the sort of player who'll be banging them in Inzaghi-style at 35, so 22m is great for him. He's already signed his replacement which was a smart move, and can now use the extra $$ from sales for other areas of the squad.

Nice work.
 
It makes more sense to me that Arsenal have been considering him as a potential replacement for Walcott (another contract rebel along with RVP) should he decide he wants to leave. And there is little chance that any club bigger than Arsenal would entertain Walcott, so i would be surprised if they maintain an interest in Mirallas. I suspect Wenger will either do nothing or target a more out and out central striker such as Lewandowski.

He can take training mate and still catch a flight to Belgium!. The players only train till what, about 2 in the afternoon if that, and it probs takes about an hour to fly to Belgium, if that so it can be done pal!

agreed, as well as a whole season with the ox. still need to sort their defence out, but wenger doesnt seem to want to do that. they really could do with spending most the van persie money on a defender

Vermaelen is fit again though. He basically missed all of the last season.



Erm, on topic then, basically I don't see Arsenal going after Mirallas with any great force.
 

I bet we sign him then Moyles keeps him on the bench for half a season behind Osman on the wing.

Wenger's never been one to cave into transfer pressure.

I can honestly see them having a great season, even if they make no more signings. Bear in mind, for all the doom and gloom, they had a good season last year. Now they'll have Wilshere back, Oxlade-Chamberlain is older, Podolski is proven quality, Cazorla too and Giroud, if he can pick up where he left off in France, could be a cracking player. On top of that Gervinho has looked good this pre-season and may shine now that he's more used to the league.

They were over-reliant on Van Persie I think, with few other players bagging decent goal returns, and now they've got a better spread.

Wenger looked like a man under pressure last season, they need to challenge now. I agree though, they have a strong group of players now.
