Llorente to Arsenal is now trending worldwide on Twitter. Kiss of death, he isn't coming.

Llorente would comfortably be Arsenal's record signing then? He was being valued at £25m fairly recently

Definately, can't see Bilbao settling for under £25m. I'm not sure how legitamate the rumours are but it won't be long before we find out I guess.

If it's true then hopefully the board don't just think that's it and close up for the window. We need M'Vila or a player like him to shore up the midfield. Ideally we would get De Jong + cash for van Persie but I doubt you'd let him go.

The consensus at one point was that NDJ would probably be on his way at the end of the season but now it seems to be that he's turned it 'round and won't leave. No actual new deal signed as yet though and we're being linked with M'Vila ourselves, so who knows really.

Hope you're wrong regarding van pissy, one injury away from the end of his career as a top-notch striker.

Much rather have Llorente tbh...

From what I've seen Llorente is effectively the same player as Dzeko.

I think that Llorente is the player I thought Dzeko would have been. No real downer on Edin, but a £27 mill player shouldn't rely on confidence quite as much....

Llorente is technically superior to Dzeko but Dzeko has a better eye for goal IMO, he's a real goal poacher who we haven't fully utilized to his strengths.

I've hated RVP since the Adebayor incident but two things make me think that if he comes I could live with it...

1. I hated Platt (I hate a lot of people 'cos a lot of people have disrespected City over the years). But I can live with him now. I don't particularly like him but I definitely don't dislike him anymore. I respect that Mancini likes him and he's helped make us better (as much as anyone else in the coaching staff has). So maybe RVP would do/say enough or keep his mouth shut enough that I'd accept him too.

and

2. Once I get over the personal thing it's hard not to think that he'd bring a lot to our team. It's not just the goals - it's the interplay with the rest of the team. I think he'd fit right in and could really push us on.

I'm not hoping this comes off but I'm not dreading it anymore.

(BTW I'd have accepted Rooney when he was rumoured to come too despite hating him for years, but then he stayed and I was delighted. I raised my hate levels even further and now my eyes water even typing his name. So if RVP stays at Arsenal I plan on ratcheting up my hate there too :-) Aaaargh!!! Internet rage!!!!)

I presume no one read this so I don't feel guilty for just rabbiting on.

I really don't want Van Persie. He comes accross as a total **** of a personality. I'd put him in the same category as Rooney as players I couldn't take to in a City shirt. Just something about him that I don't like.

I don´t want him here neither for several reasons but to compare him to Rooney is harsh to say the least.

My thoughts exactly Rooneys a scum bag and no way would he only get 1 yellow if he was playing for us.

Who cares about his personality? You're not planning on introducing him to the family, are you?

Even so, Tevez aside, we don't really have twats playing for us. I'd like it to stay that way!

 

[matt99is]

I agree with the sentiments about him being a right cock, would be funny to hear the reactions of arsenal fans though. they like to think that every player would die for arsenal, then one by one they abandon ship and come to us, and RVP has embodied that for them this season there might actually be suicides and death threats if he comes.

I don't want him though, prefer him to go abroad, he would have to do a serious PR campaign if he pulled on a city shirt. Might want to knock the nazi salutes on the head too.

 

[The Stockport Iniesta]

From a purely footballing perspective he would be the ideal player for us, Can either lead the line or play 2nd striker (his best position imo). The only question mark has been his fitness but he's had a good year without any major injuries.

He's world class and I fully expect him to leave Arsenal. Personally I'd be buzzing if we signed him, great player, not arsed about his age, he's never been a real speed merchant, he's more of a technical player and easily has 5+ years left at the top level.

 

[Worst Case Ontario]

I will be shocked if we sign Robin Van **** and dissapointed in club, since we already got Aguero, Judas, Dzeko and Balo. We should spend money on players that actually improve our team

We better not sign this twat he is nearly 30. Would be a very, very bad move.

Oh and Hazard will flop and so will Cavani if we sign him.

Keep the 4 current forwards we have please. All class.

 

[RandomJ]

I really don't want us to waste money on RVP. It's wages and transfer fee that can be spent on a player we really need. We are spoilt for choice up front, don't need another.

What top European team do you scout/coach for?

I only ask because your faultless logic and knowledge leads me to assume as much

He may not scout but his logic is faultless

Yep, invisible logic is always faultless
