Celta Vigo: "We have been offered Kanu"

I doubt he would leave in January given our injuries, he is more likely to sign for them on a bosman I think.

 

[Olofski]

Sure hope he won´t go to Japan as the paper also suggests, hate to see quality players go to big-money-low-quality-leagues.

 

[jc8gooner]

He is definitely staying at Highbury for the rest of the current season. I don't know about after that, but if he keeps playing like he has this season, I would like it if he stays.

 

[JazzG]

I think we are trying to get what money we can for him. However will our current situation probably not wise to let him go.

I really can't see Bergkamp, Wiltord and Kanu playing for us next season.

Ali and Bentley will hopefully get more game. Hopefully 1 proven striker will come in as well.

 

[Pikeypete]

IMO:
Bergkamp will sign for another year as a support player, then he'll retire.

Wiltord and Kanu - who knows what the hell is going on with those 2. But if we can replace them with proven quality, then so be it!

Unfortunaltely Jeffers will be back as Everton wont want to sign him, so he'll have to go too.

Ali is ready but Bentley has another season in the reserves and Carling Cup before he steps up.

Conclusion: We need another mature striker to fill the gap that either Wiltord or Kanu or both leave. Ali gets to fight against the new striker for first choice to partner Henry and then Bentley can join the fight the following season when DB10 retires. Sorted! BTW I reckon Klivert is a done deal. :shock: Perfect scenario.

Maybe we should have sold Jeffers when Birmingham wanted him for5 million!

Not maybe, we should have!!!

 

[Stim]

Kanu will still be here next season. He will be a good squad member by then.

It's not Arsenal's fault Franny wouldn't take a wage drop!!! Greedy scouser... :evil:

And he isn't now?

Well he's proving even more useful every game, so by then he should of established himself better and banished the past memories of Kanu from most Arsenal fans.

 

[RocktheCasbah]

I don't think anyone will quite forget just how bad Kanu's been over the last couple of years, but he's at an age now when he should be playing his best football. I think now, as he has improved, there's an argument for him being a regular starter in away games and in Europe, his ball control and hold up play is probably the best out of all the available options (exc. Thierry). Wiltord gives the ball away far too much and I think starts for Ali should generally be confined to home games.

This is an old story. Kanu was offered to Celta in the summer. It's just come up again cos we're playing them in the CL, and they're so bloody rubbish in the Primera Liga.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

He is definitely staying at Highbury for the rest of the current season. I don't know about after that, but if he keeps playing like he has this season, I would like it if he stays.

I agree.

 

[Alexone234]

I really hope Jeffers never puts another Arsenal shirt on his body while being paid by the club.

 

[zerofeel]

Kanu to go and Etoo to come in the summer...wat are the odds on tat??

 

[Kyla]

For the amount of wages Kanu gets I still expect so much more of him, but I can't deny his importance to the team in recent weeks- he's definitely a rejuvnated figure at present but I'm sure a new contract has a lot to do with it.

Plus an onform Kanu means a return to Wengerball- he's taken part in some of our most sublime football.

I'd probably have to agree with this more than anything else. Kanu is proven + useful... and its unlikely he's going to be sold unless someone offers an inflated amounted AND someone just as good, and more probably, better... is lined up to replace him. I personally don't see it happening, so he stays. For a squad like ours where all the extra fat has been cut away... don't expect anyone to be sold unless something better is lined up... otherwise the club would just be acting *.

 

[GoonerGurjit]

There is also interest in Kanu from Japan.
