I think that buying yaya would be a bad idea, wasted money when we need a player to replace song during the ACN not join him. Although I did hear that we are going to bid for lorik cana in january, he would be great cover for song(besides he has already proven himself in the prem). we may be able to win steve bruce over if we give him some pies and diaby to eat lol!

If articles like this are true then yes:

At the end of the day, we don’t really no whether a bid is really made on a player or not, but its pretty hard to deny that Arsneal were seriously pursuing Melo.

Some people make out like Wenger will not chase a player simply because they have a proven record and a big name. It’s not that simple. Wenger normally steers clears of such players because they are over valued/not a bargain.

We know for certain that he doesn’t like spending big money but signings like Rosicky and Arshavin prove he is not against signing older players with a good record.

Wenger made an offer for Melo?

Not necessarily correct.

He has said he is willing to buy players who add something special to the team. Prime example being Arshavin.
You gotta think he made a 15mil pound bid for Melo and has been very keen on Toulalan.
Wenger will NOT buy a player he considers overpriced, and with other big clubs chasing Yaya, you would expect his price to be high.

I don’t really see much point in buying him anyway. We need a holding midfielder while Song is away, so buying another African player isn’t really logical. Toulalan would be great, but he aint leaving Lyon till after the world cup, if at all.

Most probable outcome will be Denilson fills the void during the ACN.

But then Alex Song would not be the player he is today had Wenger not experimented last season

Do you agree with that RumorRust?

I mean, sticking with the youngsters waiting for them to be ready(one day) knowing that we may not win anything because of that?

Arsene will NOT buy Yaya or for that matter any established player who will hamper the chances of Arsene’s youngsters to be part of the team. That’s the philosophy of the club.
