Giroud and Costa

[LeTallecWiz]

Giroud is supposedly out for the year ... They need another striker, or they're in trouble ...

Costa is out supposedly for 6 weeks ... the same hamstring that cocked up his end of year ... Chelsea now have Drogba & Torres (if they don't sell him to Milan) to lead the line.

Has Costa been confirmed? Big fantasy football decisions to make here.

 

[Brizzle]

Costa is out? WOOHOO!

 

[Brizzle]

Their upcoming fixtures in the next 6-8 weeks include:

Everton (a)
City (a)
Arsenal (h)
Palace (a)
United (a)

Ideal time for them to hit a few hurdles without Costa.

 

[jimmy]

I wish them both full recovery.
I'd not urge them back too soon though...

Anyway, Monaco and PSG may benefit from a little bidding war from across the channel...

Jesus, Chelsea are going to have a hard time.

 

[HC]

They'd get 12pts from that without costa

One of my Arsenal supporting mates is pinning all of his hopes on Arsenal signing Cavani, Welbeck or Nikola Zigic. Quite the range of quality there.

Welbeck would be a perfect Arsenal player because he is a forward who doesn't score goals and Zigic only managed 5 goals with Birmingham City that year they were in the Premier League not sure he would fix much. Cavani or bust??

Who's your mate? I got the exact same text from a mate last night with the same names. Actually, he included Hernandez.

Is this Costa news for realz?

Did you not see Wenger's answer to that conundrum ? I think I'm just wasted on here 😉

There will be no 'panic buys' at Arsenal in the last few days of the transfer window, insists Arsene Wenger. The Gunners boss was speaking ahead of his side's Champions League clash against Besiktas at the Emirates. We have plenty of players at centre-forward. In England as soon as you have a problem, people want you to buy.

 

[Frogfish]

Yep.

 

[ILD]

Just heard he's a doubt for Sat?

 

[keniget]

I'm guessing Cavani will be on the move now.

He lives in the states, I don't think he has any inside knowledge. Those must be the names circulating on the Arsenal message boards.

Those are names were on the BBC gossip page this morning so they've been doing the rounds.

Zigic and Welbeck are shocking.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Zigic and Welbeck are shocking.

I wouldn't think Zigic would offer much for a team fighting relegation, let alone Arsenal with hopes for top 4.

 

[ibromurph]

I feared this would happen.

Which is all the more reason why I'm delighted we got Balotelli in for 16m last week, before we got priced out by one of these 2 who would no doubt have took a punt on him.

 

[Whirly]

I'm guessing Cavani will be on the move now.

Isn't Ibra also hurt though? No real point for PSG to sell unless they get absurd money.

 

[redhorizon2]

How long before Wilshere, Walcott and Ramsey are added to the list? Place your bets now.

Exactly. PSG won't be selling Cavani now. Falcao to Chelsea seems a very good bet though maybe not if Maureen reckons he can get them through 6 weeks without Costa. When do we play them ?

Sounds to me like Real might be going in for Falcao as well. With selling Di Maria and Xabi, they might've freed up the funds to make it happen.

Wonder if this puts the brakes on the Torres to Milan deal...

 

[Brizzle]

Ramsey will get a 2-3 month injury before Christmas arrives.

Fernando Torres' agent Antonio Sanz is reported to have toldMilanNews that a deal to take his client to AC Milan is close. He said after meeting with Rossoneri officials:

The meeting has been positive. Torres at Milan is a possibility. We will take time to reflect before giving an answer. Milan are a great side.​

 

[Brizzle]

Looks like Giroud will also miss their away game to Dortmund. Really hope they don't sign anyone decent.

 

[Hansern]

I'm guessing Cavani will be on the move now.

Ibra is injured. PSG has said Cavani wont be moving anywhere.

 

[Dirkus_Circus]

Walcott isn't back from his last injury yet but when he returns I would give him 3-4 weeks before he does his hamstring again.

 

[Fabio]

I'm not convinced Costa will be out for more than the week. I've seen nothing but rumours so far

Good. Let the window close and then they discover they misdiagnosed and it's true he'll be out for half a year.
