Should Arsenal pursue this Slovakian playmaker if Cesc leaves?

|

From what I have seen, Hamsik is a team player and is fairly consistent. He dribbles well and is always appears enthusiastic to run at defenders and beat them with his skill. But, I will say it again; he is not as good as Fabregas, but is still a very good footballer.

However, Napoli have reacted swiftly to scare off interested clubs by declaring that Hamsik is not for sale:

The manager of the Serie A side, Walter Mazzarri, recently told Gazetta dello Sport:

‘Marek is happy to work with me and he is very motivated.’

‘He is happy to remain here.’

‘I have spoken to him and from what I know, in the end he will not leave.’

To make things even worse, Napoli have recently placed a £100 million price-tag on their prized asset! £100 million! Really? So that pretty much settles the matter, right?

Wenger is someone who wouldn’t sleep for months if he spent £100 million in an entire summer, let alone on one player.

So for those of you wanting him at Arsenal, I am sorry guys, but there is no way Wenger will sign him, and honestly, why do we need him?

Personally, I feel it would be needless spending.

We’ve got Ramsey and Wilshere as more than capable replacements if Cesc does depart. They have come through our system and will do loads better than any new signing would ever do. They are both mentally strong and have great technique and ability as well.

Ramsey and Wilshere have the potential to form one of the most telling midfield partnerships in Arsenal history. And those guys who feel that this partnership is a disaster in the making, better think again. If you have got enough skill, your size and age doesn’t matter (Xavi and Iniesta?).

This is just another transfer rumour that I don’t think will eventually happen, especially given the resources available to us. Oh, and by the way, these ‘stories’ aren’t my assumptions!

Here is a video of Hamsik in action:

  • Emuze Paul says:

    I believe we should go for hamsik cos he got everything we (Arsenal) need to replace our captain cesc. But if we can not get him, we should consider move for marko marin or heden harzard

  • Liban says:

    Simon kjaer the man is a beast at the heart of worlfsburg defence and was a reported target of arsenal and wenger should try and sign george ‘blackberry’ othiambo the boy is from kenya he is by far better than messi at 19, please have look at them. Up gunners

  • The candid gooner says:

    Just get us Hamsik le profesieur. Good article

  • AidanGooner says:

    ….and who will come in to the side when Wilshere or Ramsey can’t play? If Fabregas or Nasri leaves they have to be replaced with top quality

  • nemo says:

    finally…now…it is just rumor at this point, but in my belief, this is the only replacement worthy of pursuit should Fab &/or Nasri go. i was curious that we had yet to be linked with him, but now it’s a waiting game.

    personally, it’s starting to sound to me like Ribery will be bought if Mata cannot. & Hamsik may be bought if Fab/Nasri leave.

    i would love to see us then add Lukaku (perfect #2 behind RvP…especially as injury insurance) & Vidal. this, provided Bendtner leaves along with Arshavin.

    that should make enough weight to make all these deals & then the only business left is adding the Center-Half steel we lack (preferably Cahill…but i can easily seeing us go for Per or Subotic or something much less the over-priced Cahill).

    i’m still really dubious as to half of this potential getting done, as this is not typical spending…but it is also (potentially) a non-typical exodus we are about to experience. these players named all make sense though & are relatively affordable.

    i wonder….does the Joel Campbell u-turn suggest Lukaku may be arriving at Arsenal? i mean…that’s a tough competition to get involved in, especially with JET sitting not too far behind.
