Arsenal signed Mesut Ozil in Sep 2013 and Germany won Wold Cup 2014... Arsenal signed Alexis Sanchez in July 2014 and Chile won Copa America 2015... Euro 2016??? Let's see can Arsenal sign their Main Target...
Usually Top clubs will play their cards close to their chest. And to boost valuation, Top clubs NEVER put Star players on market & will make it loud they're not willing to sell. It's a highly patience game... Being a Arsenal director and a salesman since 15 yrs old, Lord Harris knows ways to give some pressure on selling party that Arsenal has other STAR players choices than the MAIN Target (Probably Benzema)... If analyse closely, there are trails that a POSSIBLE Arsenal STAR signing can be happen... 5 more weeks for mind games before window closes...
I would hope RM President Perez read the Lord Harris' interview. This interview will trigger Perez's thinking process like: 1. Arsenal director has come out and signal to spend, they have tried for Dortmund's Aubameyang BUT was rejected. What IF Arsenal increase Aubameyang bid to be accept & Reus turns to lead Dortmund? What IF Arsenal goes for Marco Reus? It's within Arsenal spending power... Hmmm... And... thinking... 2. Benitez wants to shift Ronaldo to central role BUT Benzema UNABLE shifts to wings & is coming NEAR 28 years Old... Do we(RM) sells Benzema & use the funds to buy Reus and fit into Benitez's plan...
Well...Well... the Mind game has started...
"Yep, [the scout is] still in Berlin. [His assessment] will continue. Do we still go on the second [option we have identified in case the first one doesn't come through]?" "As long as [that player meets all] the requirements we have previously agreed on" "[The selling club] are not [making this easy, they want more money than we're willing to spend]" "We have time, [I'm Arsene Wenger, bitch]"
Although i'm skeptical. BUT IF the meeting indeed took place then, can it be: "Do we still go for Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang/Marco Reus (second option) in case Benzema (first option) doesn't come through."
