Latest Transfer news!

Arsenal Football Club bidding 40M pounds for a player? Shocking. Is this the same Arsene Wenger who always liked to buy some unknown French or African players for 1-3 $ and then turn them into 25M superstars? But, times are changing. This is the world where Gonzalo Higuain costs Napoli a whopping 37M Euros without add-ons, the world where Jonjo Shelvey costs 7M. And it`s totally understandable that Liverpool rejected the highest-ever bid from AFC for their star asset Luis Suarez. If they ever gonna sell him, that should come at a right price for them, because they will be losing the only super player from their team. Gerrard grows old and Sturridge isn`t top class just yet.

So Arsenal and Arsene are throwing everything they can to sign Luis and we are all sure that it could be a massive boost for them. Or for anyone else who signs him. Suarez produced 20+ goals and 10+ assists during the season in which he was occasionally suspended and injured. And he plays his trade with Downing and Henderson. Obviously if he goes up front, turns his back and sees Downing trying to run and pass him the ball he isn`t so happy. If he goes over to the Emirates he will turn and see Cazorla magic and Podolski crosses. That`s un upgrade for sure. But, the whole transfer and contract thing is becoming very puzzling with Suarez` agent Per Guardiola (Pep`s brother) trying to build a path for Luis to go. Obviously, Rodgers and LFC owners are doing everything they can to keep him but i can`t see him in Liverpool crazy new shirt anymore. Arsenal or Madrid, we shall see.

In the otha` news Chelsea is doing nothing..Like a shark smelling for blood, Jose is waiting for further Rooney news. United is waiting on Fabregas but i think their chances of getting him are slim – Barca already sold one midfielder, Thiago, to Bayern so there is no room for departures anymore.

Napoli have splashed the cash they gained from selling Cavani. And although i must admit that Aurelio De Laurentis is a great seller – he got what he wanted for Cavani (64M Euros) he doesn`t semm much of a buyer. He overpayed for Higuain and he had some better and cheaper options. Jackson Martinez would have cost around the same price they paid Real for Higuain and seems much much better. Seydou Doumbia from CSKA is a goal machine and i doubt he would cost more than 25M.

Higuain produces goals when served but isn`t much of a treat by himself. It is highly anticipated how will Rafa build his attack around him and would he be able to reproduce some good form from the glory days in Real Madrid.

In France, of course, there are buckets of money thrown around. PSG haven’t finished with Cavani. A week later they paid around 40M for Marquinos, talented Roma defender. He is young and good, but 40M? They also acquired one of the best future left backs in the world, Lucas Digne from Lille, and he was 15M. Their main money rivals, Monaco are weighing up a move for Hulk. Poor Lyon and Marseille, they are trying but they won`t stand a chance next year.

Fiorentina is emerging like a total winner for me in this window. Mario Gomez, Joaquin and now Josip Ilicic. Sale of Jovetić provided financial muscle and Montella spent it wisely.

So next week, i expect a lot of Gareth Bale and LS news. See you..
