It has been reported that Bastian Schweinsteiger may be making is way to the Premier League. With the departure of Fabregas and Nasri, Wenger has said he will look to bolster the squad before the end of the transfer window. Wenger has stated that the main areas he will be trying to improve are defence and midfield, with the latter being the priority.
The Bayern Munich midfielder is clearly the sort of player that Arsenal fans have been longing for. We need experience, ready made quality that will fit straight into our first team now. Yes, we have bought the likes of Miyaichi and Chamberlain, who will most probably be great players in a few years, but at the moment, we need to keep our credibility. The 35 million price tag is by far the largest that has ever been associated with Wenger since his time at the club. But with the large amount of funds available from the transfers of Cesc and Samir, it is not as if Wenger does not have the money.
The 27 year old has played over 250 games for Bayern since 2002, and 88 appearances for his country. He is a quality player that would shine in the Premier League. But what are the chances that he will actually come? To be honest, I’m not sure. My first instincts tell me that the chances are pretty poor. Why would he want to come to Arsenal? He has enjoyed a lot of success with Bayern in the German League. Manchester United were said to be interested in the German international, yet nothing materialised there. However, last season was not great for Bayern. They finished third in the league and risk losing a few of their star players. Perhaps Schweinsteiger wants a new challenge and wants to play in the best league in the world. It is a possibility, even if the chances are against us.
Likeliness rating: 2/5

He is cup tied now!
The fact that he’s cup tied might help bring the price now and I don’t think we are going to win the champions league this year so all good!
he will be a good addition 2 d team and get m villa,cahil and baine den we can challenge at all front,babatee
A Wenger pls act fast b4 its gets late w r very worry. Plssssssss…..!!!.
He wil be a great signing if wenger can do it 4 d fans & one more centre back pls prof save our soul 4 Allah sake. Ismaheel Alade frm ogbomoso oyo state nigeria
No chance and he’s cup tied in chapions league
We won’t buy him cos he cup tied by playing the qualifiers for Bayern
schwteigher could be a greet additional 4 d team, after d departure of fabregas n nasri, i wishes arsene wenger to buy dis man, cos he as the great n attitude of football talent.
35 mil?????????this. would b a sily buy
Wenger should pls act fast b4 transfer windw close.
Was saying to a mate earlier, I reckon Schweinsteiger and Mertesacker would be enough. Realistically we’re not going to win this season, we’d still ideally need a left back and another quality striker but I reckon that pair would see us to a safe fourth and let the young’uns develop a bit more
35 million for a player who cant play in Champions? He is good but i dont belive on this rumour. We need a good player to the middlefield and im not seeing us signing someone good till 31 august.
Cup tied…so what?
Surely the need for a player week to week is more important than one available for CL.
i don’t A.wenger spend on who cannot play champions league…cos a strong midfielder…let pray 4 the gr8tness of this season…pls we need talented mid fielder b4 transfer window closes
hes on over 130k a week he will never sign! dreamers
Plz wenger buy for us German star even though he can’t play in champns league and some more quality players in mid and defence
seriously…this year…a cup-tied player is nothing to sniff at. i mean…for argument’s sake, let’s say we add 4 players of “super quality.” you still reckon that AFC have a shot at the CL title?
neither do I….as miopic as i can be.
now…get “Schweinie” & Per & we could easily thrust ourselves into BPL title contention…….at least Carling Cup/FA Cup.
i’ll take it.
add Hazard in January, or next summer & another LB & a striker & we’ll be well on our way with project #2. put another year in for Wilshere, Szcz…..(you spell it), & Ramsey….i’d say we’re looking pretty good.
imho…add 2 serious players in our main areas of need & give the youngsters much p/t this season & this side will blossom exquisitely. i think we’re looking at a LFC type season they had last year.
Mr.Wenger,pls save our soul,we nid creative midfielder b4 transfer window close.
Not for me beaky, he hasn’t got enough pace although he is reasonably physical
Arsenal will not buy big name players. They will only sell to make money.
arsene wenger is not a coach but a good manager,in the field of football which is characterise with competetion, one takes all. One need wisdom to take advantage of the league and to change policies that dos not give good result.for six years wenger academic professionalism cost arsenal truphyless. Arsene wenger is high time you face reality, forget about the law of capitalism that say minimium input for maximium output and take comparative study of english premierleague.pls go an buy experience players.
Dreams. Its like saying we bring zidane, romario, baggio out of retirement. Never gonna happen
there is no way in hell bastian is coming to the emirates .. hes the bayern fulcrum everything goes through him ..yes he will make a nice fit in the arsenal midfield but the switch will only happen on football manager .. the player we should be after for now if we really wanna go german is Lukas Podolski , hes a left sided player , very direct with experience tons of caps to go with it
