Yeah, that price is much too big for Arsene, he’ll spend that on someone proven like Chamakh but I don’t think he’d spend that much on a prospect.

I don’t know if he could succeed in England at that size unless he was on the wings or maybe as a second striker. I always hate the “Next _____” tags guys get simply because they’re from the same country as the other guy, It will be interesting to see how he does in the world cup though.

He’s too expensive and too old (he’s 21, well past the point Arsene likes to get a prospect at; his bad habits are already entrenched) for Arsenal, I think.

He’s also only 5’10″; that’s not very big for a guy beind touted as the next Drogba.

These are the types of guy’s Arsene typically seems to find kinda early if he likes them, Sagna, Adebayor, Eduardo, etc. were all rather unknown till they came on strong for Arsenal. He seems to have a knack for picking out the right guys and I’d think if he rated him as quality there would at least be some small Arsenal link out there about him.

I’m kind of thinking that he might not actually be any good once he’s out of Switzerland, to be honest. He’s really fast; outside of that, though, there’s not much going on. Case in point: he scored twenty goals last season in only eight starts, and wasn’t injured. There was a reason he wasn’t starting.

So, I know its a stretch, but come on Arsene! Open up your wallet for this guy!
