The Melo transfer saga is twisting and turning. First he was reported to have signed for Juventus only for Fiorentina’s president to state Arsenal are closer to signing. Then again Juventus seemed to have all but captured their target only for the deal to collapse due to, the other half of the swao deal, Marchionni’s high wage demands. Later Marchionni said Fiorentina are his first choice club and he desperately wants to go there and so yet again in the last few hours a lot of websites have been reporting that a deal has finally been done. But breaking news again. Marchionni’s agent comes out once again stating his client has not signed for Fiorentina and will join Juve in their pre-season traininig:
“There was a deal in place, but there was no agreement and therefore Marco will join Juventus for pre-season.
“It’s a shame as the player wants to join Fiorentina. They are his first choice. Everything is on standby at the moment. I don’t think we can reach a positive solution just yet. However, we have to see what happens in the next few days.”
The deal hasn’t completely collapsed as yet. The agent has not ruled out the possibility of Juventus ending up with their man.
I am starting to think we would be better off without Melo afterall. The guy seems to prefer Juventus over Arsenal so why buy someone who doesn’t want to play for us. Go for Matuidi who loves Arsenal, who wants to play for Arsenal.

this whole site should be taken down, u and the rest of the arsene knows brigade are mindless simpletons believing every thing you see in the media and all the bullshit that comes from wenger… we were NEVER gona get melo end of, fiorentina mentioned arsenal on their website a few days ago to give Juve the kick up the arse they needed to actually go and buy the player they wanted for the price he was going for… makes arsenal look like mugs openly courting a player for weeks on end, only for him to go to an inferior team, in an inferior league… melo never once said he wanted to come to arsenal, not once, but he has said on several occassions, that he’d like to stay in italy and his preferred choice would be Juve… why? cos they are a big club and arsenal aren’t… as long as we continue to trot out this bullshit about “we are the only self sustaining blah blah blah” ” and other teams should do things the way we do” is absolute nonsense… the reason no one else is copying our model, is cos they want to compete and to actually win trophies and are prepared to spend to do it… they must be the ones that are wrong…. right?

Yes we can go by matuidi but the quality is different. Melo is awonderful player.
But, i think has he said he preffers juventus than arsenal?
And i think arsenal just needs acombertive number 6 who has an experience and strong as melo.
We need melo if not let us go for maschirano.
Good day guys.

Guys we arsenal fans should try and forget about Melo cause he’s nt coming, and 20milo+Eboue is not a good deal. Instead let’s sell fabrepas 20mil+Eto
