According to Skysports, Tottenham are on the verge of signing Giovani Dos Santos from Barcelona, with both clubs and player agreeing terms.
Now, for an initial £6.2m fee, for a player believed to have been tracked by Arsene Wenger for the past couple of seasons, some may believe Tottenham have found themselves a gem. I’m not sure I agree.
I’ve watched Barcelona a few times this season and he’s never really done it for me. He did score a hat-trick in the last game of the season, but I remember Jermaine Pennant scoring a hat-trick in one of the final games of the season for Arsenal (against Southampton). It was meaningless.
Seriously, if he really was that good, wouldn’t some of the top clubs in Europe be after him? I think Ramos has paid £6.2m for a good compilation of YouTube videos personally.
Are we finally going to sign Nasri? When is this going to happen? According to GoonerTalk it’s going to take longer then we thought, I hope not. I can imagine a lot of very unhappy Arsenal fans if this deal was to fall through.

I think he is a promising young player but i am not sure his playing sytle would be suitable for EPL.

He would be a brilliant signing. He looks great on YouTube. May be a little small, but that never stopped Zola being a success in the premiership.
If we don’t sign Ben Arfa then we should get Dos Santos.

I think Nasri is much better than Dos Santos. He is The New Zidane.
By the way I wonder if you mind to exchange links?
Thanks and have a good day.

I totally agree, I think Nasri is a top quality player and one all Arsenal fans have set their hearts on now.

NASRI IS BETTER FOR EVERYTHING THAN DOS SANTOS,IF ARSENAL CAN GET NASRI WENGER MUST LOOKING FOR A WORLD CLASS GOAL KEEPER N DONT FORGET 6+5 FROM FIFA. GET FREY AND BENZEMA. ARON RAMSEY TO….

I can’t see Wenger signing a World Class keeper. I think he’ll stick with Almunia and Fabianski as his first and second choices, and buy a cheap / free third choice keeper. He’ll give them another season to prove themselves. I hope I’m wrong!!!

nasri is a legend. Let Dos Santos go to the scum, he’s never lived up to his potential. They’re buying another young misfit.
