Arsenal miss out again

Well Arsenal have missed out on another of their winter targets after Barcelona told Arsene Wenger and co. they have no chance of signing David Villa this month.

Arsene Wenger is apparently looking to bolster his attacking options after loaning out Marouane Chamakh to West Ham until the end of the season.

A number of strikers had been linked with a move to The Emirates this month, but they have either moved elsewhere or committed their future to their current club.

Villa has been tipped to make a move to the Premier League after falling out-of-favour at Barca. However, the Spanish club’s president Sandro Rosell insists the 31-year-old forward will not be leaving the Nou Camp anytime soon:

‘I completely rule out the transfer of Villa during the winter market.

‘He is ours and we need him. There is a lot of the season left.’

There you have it – another player Arsenal have missed out on.

We didn’t even bother with Demba Ba (for some strange reason). Klaas-Jan Huntelaar chose to stay with Schalke rather than join us, while Wenger is unwilling to fork out £14 million for Adrian Lopez. It’s a joke! And I can’t really pinpoint any other strikers out there which are available at the moment.

Prepare to see yet another very un-active January Gooners.

    To be honest i am fed with going over the same old things every transfer times, Arsenal are buying everyone but finish up with no one and this one is heading the same way, they can’t even get Walcott to sign so how they expect to get other top players too sign.

    Huh? Someone in your street has a car you like very much. You go up to the guy and ask if he wants to sell the car. The guy says that he car is not for sale. Have now missed out on the car?
    Feel free to criticise Wenger with reasonable arguments, without being abusive obviously, but don’t come up with ridiculous stories like this.

  • James Gunner says:

    Don’t be surprised Wenger doesn’t buy anyone.If the gunners drift out of the top 4,he shd go. If he’s smart he better get the guys who can give the senior team alift. If not,Arsenal shd thank him for his past services and start afresh with a new bloke before the decline becomes irreversible.

    This can equally interpreted as negotiation, stop lots of clubs (probably Arsenal) from low balling for the striker.

    searching skilled expensive players, showing to richer clubs, buy the cheapest players, sell when they start to show their skills, compete on the pitch with less skilled players, (defeated or draw easily),that is it!
    Do not forget that their ticket price is the most expensive of all clubs.; The wage structure for players is very low compared to Man united, Man city, Chelsea, even liver pool.
    Amazing Paradox!!!
