Arsenal set to miss out on Thiago Alacantra as he looks certain to join Manchester United, a deal could be done in the next 48 hours.

Arsenal have agreed a fee and personal terms for Higuain and the Argentinian International will sign a 4 year deal on 115kpw, alongside Higuain will be the Everton powerhouse Marouanne Fellani as he is set to join Arsenal after privately telling a source in his camp he wishes to join Arsenal. A deal for Fellani should be done in the next 14 days, all talk of Arsenal not wanting to match his buy-out clause is preposterous as Wenger is well aware of his buy-out clause and has met it. Personal terms are close to being agreed.

Lastly Cesar the Brazilian International will join up with the Gunners after the Confederations Cup having already agreed a pre-contract with Arsenal.

David Villa could be the last last attacking addition for the Gunners as he already holds a pre-contract, the agreement was established in December to join Arsenal, that deal that fell through in January. Arsenal are reportedly from a source in the club after two forwards and someone of Villa's class, experience and calibre could increase Arsenal's chances of winning the BPL in the coming season. He is available for 10m.

Cesc won't come back to Arsenal, Thiago is leaving Barca.

Grenier or Ruben Garcia will join Arsenal as the club look to add more depth to their Youth and Reserve teams having released so many players.

If these Arsenal deals minus the deal for Grenier/Garcia don't materialise Ed's I ask you block me from the site. I'm 110% certain of these dealings.

I'm not ITK but I have friends in Professional football and know a few reliable agents with ties to the club.

That's a big statement, and your confidence certainly intrigues me. If all your info comes to fruition. Then I'll be looking out for your name for any future transfer news.
Possible itk legend, IF it all comes off.
Flybo {Ed029's Note - I asked Ed02 about Genier and Garcia for you and this is what he had to say:

Lyon's Grenier has been of interest to Marseille, AC Milan, Arsenal, Juventus and Chelsea - but at the right price. The right price for Lyon is considerably higher when Chelsea and other EPL teams are interested and that has perhaps already priced him out of the market. OL would like to keep him and are close to having him sign a new deal.

I am sorry to have to be the one to tell them but Jerry Garcia passed away sometime ago and will not be joining Arsenal.}

Well I guess we will know in 48hours time if any of this is true ( when Thiago joins ManU?)personally I don't think Fellani will join us and honestly I think we can find a decent DM for 22mil instead of someone who claims its his fav position. i'm not saying fellani is a bad player but i'm not really sure he is worth 22mil or will improve or squad, its a bit of a missfit kinda like carrol was for liverpool. good player but not for us.

If you look up frugal in the dictionary it actually says refer to Wenger,. That said I for one am hoping blocking is not necessary, would be top top summer if materializes

Laker so you would be disappointed if our front 3 against Villa was

Villa Higuain. Walcott

?

Higuain plus Villa = 32m

22m for Higuain

10m Villa

For two players of that quality for that combined price the deals are certain;y worth it.

Paul from Rochester I think somebody needs explain irony to you

Please note I said a deal 'could be done' not 'will be done' in 48 hours, the deal is in advanced stages and will be formalized in a matter of days I can confirm. So it could happen a bit later, the '48 hours' is the anticipation from Manchester United and the agent they want the deal done as soon as and are hoping to finalize it by then. Be patient.

@ Ed's

The player I was talking about was Ruben Garcia.

He was born in Valencia and played for Valencia's youth team and then joined Levante. Numerous other sites and forms of media have this story too.

@ paul rochester. I would not be disappointed. just meant that as sarcasm.

i'm not sure what's happening.

my contacts are as good as dust. i've heard nothing. I don't believe twitter and arsenal don't put stuff online until after the next season is over it seems.

as a human being my natural tendency is greed. so if we can get 5 strikers I am more than happy. but to be quite honest, i'm looking for us to sign that first player and then we can start dreaming about better players joining us.

this higuain thing seemed a sure shot, now juventus are back? I mean have we done anything? or are we using him to get others to sign him and sign our target, who could be a 22 year old from tahiti?

just bemused and confused right now.
