It looked like as if Arsenal was not going buy any star players in the summer transfer market, but finally they are close to completing the £14m transfer for Bayern Munich midfielder Luiz Gustavo. The brazilian did not have a lot of opportunities to play for Bayern Munich since the team has a lot of central midfielders who are much better than Luiz Gustavo, such as Bastian Schweinsteiger and Javi Martinez. Even worse for the brazilian, Bayern Munich bought Thiago Alcantra from FC Barcelona who is another central midfielder. Therefore, Luiz Gustavo could only make 16 starts in the 2012/13 season. Arsenal's attempt to buy Luiz Gustavo makes us happy as we were a bit worried that we might end up buying nobody except for buying the 20-year-old French striker Yaya Sanogo on a free transfer. Actually, I am still a bit worried with this deal because the deal is not completed yet. Just about a month ago, Arsenal was close to signing Higuain but eventually failed to buy him. I really hope this would not happen again to Arsenal. Also, even though Arsenal buys Luiz Gustavo, we still need a great striker who can score a lot of goals for us. Currently Luis Suarez is the striker who is linked with Arsenal, but Liverpool looks like they are never going to let Luis Suarez move. However, Luis Suarez wants to move since he cannot play in the UEFA Champions League in the 2013/14 season, and he thinks a player like him should play for the Champions League. Liverpool did not even qualify for the Europa League next season, which makes it even worse for Luis Suarez. If Luis Suarez and Luiz Gustavo join Arsenal's squad, Arsenal will be much closer to the Premier League and the Champions League title.
