Round-up: Gladbach forward Luuk de Jong en route to Newcastle for medical & Dortmund in talks to sign Spurs' Lewis Holtby.

Would Bayern REALLY be that much of a threat to us for Draxler this summer?

As long as we pay what Schalke want for him, surely they'd rather sell him to us than the Bavarians?

Napoli beat us to Higuain, Lex. We don't need big clubs to compete with us to lose out.

Is Wilshere confirmed to be out of tonight's match?

Napoli only beat us because they were prepared to pay the extra that Real stuck on Hig's, already hefty, price tag, J99.

Had we been prepared to match it, he'd be an Arsenal player now.

imo Wilshere is being rested for Ramsey.

Would he? Italians and Spanish are very clever at hiding tax. Wages can be manipulated. There was a time when Dein used to pay Dennis in Holland. Don't think we go into that sort of thing anymore.

Not sure who's travelled, TBOK. Arsenal.com haven't mentioned anything either.

So, with this Puma money adding to Arsene's transfer kitty, roughly how much do we think we'll have available to spend next summer - assuming we don't make a big purchase during the next few days..?

No chance £100m. Probably £40m net a season. Which is quite a change from -£15m a season of years past.

And because of FFP we can't stock pile players nor move them on if they fail! (and thats a bigger point imo)

Napoli cant beat a egg let alone us so you're wrong again. We changed targets because Higuain wasnt worth it especially for the money Napolo bought him for.

I am never wrong little boy. Seriously though I don't see Higuain playing for us. Make any excuses you want. Or don't you think we wanted Higuain after Suarez deal fell through?

Little girl you're always wrong. We didnt want the vastly overrated Higuain. Wenger decided against it because he isnt any better than Giroud.

Jenius thinks Higuain is world class. You just need to see Higuain's CL record to see he is cack.

Higuain is class.

I think it's pretty clear Madrid led us along and we thought we could get him for around £20-£23m, and then Napoli came in and were happy to pay the £32m, and we didn't want to match.

So if he was playing for Arsenal he would be world class?

Nah he aint. He is on the same level as Giroud.

No same level as Giroud but you could be right when you play for Arsenal you automatically become world class

"Dortmund in talks to sign Spurs' Lewis Holtby."

Wow. Dortmund have really fallen off the map man.

He's a far better goal scorer than Giroud. He isn't a CF, though.

Would be better suited to our style than Giroud, I think.

People need to get over this myth that we NEED a CF for this hold up play s hiz. We've been without a out and out CF for about 15 combined years of Wengers reign and were fine.
