Colos Short and Curlies Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Arsenal have (according to SSN) agreed to buy the Croation/Brazilian Eduardo Da Silva from Zagreb. No mention of a fee and I know nowt about him so he could be a replacement for Henry or for Allialidere (sp). Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dokko Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Was hoping a fee would come up, but none yet, anything over £6m would probably put end to Martins move. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Syrette Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/teams/a/arsenal/6260864.stm Arsenal have swooped to sign Croatian international striker Eduardo da Silva from Dinamo Zagreb. The 24-year-old, who scored against England in a Euro 2008 qualifier in October, has signed a four-year contract at the Emirates Stadium. The fee is undisclosed and Da Silva will be unveiled as an Arsenal player after completing a medical at the club. Da Silva moved to Croatia when he was 15 and took nationality at 22. He has scored seven goals for his country. Da Silva scored the first competitive goal at the Emirates when Arsenal beat Dinamo Zagreb 5-1 on aggregate in last season's Champions League third qualifying round.

Would've hated to see him going to Arsenal. I'd still be very disapointed if he went to Juve, but it would be no where near as bad as Arse. Also, isn't it possible that it has to be a club with European competition, same as with Owen? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest jamesmartinsmith Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Who says they are going to buy another striker? At least we can hope they won't. Wenger loves nurturing his young talent and with the changes is the boardroom he may not have the necessary £13m to spend on Oba. Consider this: Van Persie - 23 Adebayor - 23 Walcott - 18 Bendtner - 19 Vela - 18 Reyes - 23 Eduardo - 24 It's likely that Vela will go back out on loan and Reyes will probably be sold. But that still leaves Arsenal with 5 strikers. Wenger has expressed his interest to play the likes of Bendtner in the Premiership as well as the other regulars. This Eduardo is no 4th choice striker, for Dinamo Zagreb he has scored 73 goals in only 104 appearances, also their captain. He has also proved himself at International level scoring 7 goals in 12 games - Squad player, no. I'm a huge fan of Oba and for us this signing is excellent news.

toptoon Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 Its looking very likely we'll be keeping Martins, Owen and Dyer. No one seems to be sniffing round Zoggy or Luque either. Competition for starting XI places will be tough next year, if we do manage to hang on to everyone. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Optimistic Nut Posted July 2, 2007 Share Posted July 2, 2007 They already have4 strikers in the squad: Da Silva,Adebayor,Bendtnder,Van Persie. cant see them paying 13 for another striker If that is who Arsenal intend to go into the season with, then Spurs will finish 4th.

Whereas, I think a lot of Arsenals young lads will come on a lot next season and grow into a team... Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
