Patricio Signing A ‘Top Priority’ For Arsenal As Wenger Eyes Cut-Price Deal

By mac14 on June 21, 2013

With all the talk of big-money moves for Gonzalo Higuain and Wayne Rooney filling the back pages, it’s good to see the boss still has an eye for a bargain.

Famed for his frugal approach to transfers in recent years, it seems Arsene Wenger is lining up another astute purchase with Portuguese newspaper Record reporting that we’re in for Sporting Lisbon goalkeeper Rui Patricio and they claim his purchase is ‘a top priority’ for the club this summer.

We were heavily linked with the Portuguese No.1 back in March when it was reported that we’d had an £8.5m bid turned down with Sporting believed to be demanding well in excess of £10m.

However, the Portuguese outfit have since found themselves in financial crisis and several key players are expected to be sold in cut-price deals this summer to balance the books, and it seems Wenger can smell another bargain in Patricio.

A new goalkeeper has been touted as a necessity this summer following the unconvincing displays of Wojciech Szczesny last season, and we’ve been linked with a whole host of names including the likes of Victor Valdes, Pepe Reina, Simon Mignolet and Asmir Begovic, but Patricio would certainly be the cheapest of the lot.

At 25, he’s still got his best years ahead of him but he’s already established himself as Sporting Lisbon’s and Portugal’s No.1, so has plenty of experience to offer. However, with Szczesny only two years youngster than him, if we did end up buying Patricio it would surely put the young Pole’s future at the club in serious doubt.

Personally, I’d like to see us sign someone a little older. Someone who isn’t going to block the development of Szczesny for too long as I still believe he’s got the potential to be our long-term No.1. Julio Cesar would be my preferred option, but let’s see how things develop over the coming weeks.

What goalkeeper would you like Arsenal to sign this summer?

It’s going to be the best off-season signings that Arsene has ever made, so i urge him to go ahead and pull the trigger if he wants to end his trophy drought. Wishing Arsenal the best season ahead. Up Gunners.

If he can bring in Higuain & Fellain,then Julio Ceaser w’d be da best keeper to add on. Wish he signs another central defender,& rightback, & he also signs a new contract! Da best 4 da gunners.

It’s really very difficult in this busy life to listen news on Television, therefore

Today, I went to the beach front with my children.
I found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She put
the shell to her ear and screamed. There was a hermit crab inside and it
pinched her ear. She never wants to go back!
LoL I know this is totally off topic but I had to
tell someone!

I drop a comment each time I like a article
on a website or if I have something to contribute to the conversation.
It is a result of the sincerness displayed in the post I looked at.

And on this article Patricio Signing A ‘Top Priority’
For Arsenal As Wenger Eyes Cut-Price Deal | Arsenal Station | Arsenal FC News.
I was actually moved enough to drop a commenta response
🙂 I actually do have 2 questions for you if it’s allright.
Is it simply me or do some of these comments look like
coming from brain dead folks? 😛 And, if you are writing at additional
places, I’d like to follow you. Could you list the

I’m impressed, I must say. Seldom do I come across a blog that’s both
equally educative and amusing, and without a doubt, you have hit the nail on the head.

The problem is something which too few people are speaking
intelligently about. I’m very happy that I found this
in my search for something regarding this.

Ashe also has a talent known as Hawkshot which lets you see
whats infront of you by firing an arrow inside the direction you
would like to determine. Learning skill shot skills is the
most important part of playing Ahri. Thus, each champion has his or her
own story on why and how he or she has entered the league.
