ARSENAL LIKE LOOK OF BRAZILIAN

MAICOSUEL: Arsenal on his trail

14/11/2009

ARSENAL plan to bid £5million for Brazilian ace Maicosuel.

The midfielder has been earning rave reviews in the Bundesliga at TSG Hoffenheim.

Boss Arsene Wenger, keen to add to his ranks in January, has sent scouts to watch Maicosuel in action.

The 23-year-old would have no problems settling into the Arsenal squad as his Brazilian colleague Denilson is a key member of the first-team group at Emirates Stadium.

Hoffenheim, according to reports in Brazil, are willing to let their star midfielder leave for the right price and Wenger is hopeful of agreeing a move in the New Year.

Maicosuel has played for three of Brazil's biggest clubs in the past - Cruzeiro, Palmeiras and Botafogo.

wenger should try to bring BABEL to arsenal as the man is very inteligent on the ground just that Benitez has grown old and cant see the potential in him

Every player who watches Arsenal Playing would want to play under Wenger's aministration. Maicosuel will want to joint us at Emirates for sure if he is having the love of football.

Wenger is the greatest MANAGER I have ever seen in the world of football. He know what a team need and knows how to develop a player from good to the best. Ask of Fabregas, Henry, Vieira, van Persie, Song, Walcott, and mostly by making a striker Kolo Toure a successful defender, Eboue can tell you the same story. These are just few to mention. To me I think Wenger have seen potential in the player. In addition please Mr Wenger get for us Yaya Toure........... Arsenal Till I Die

i think that a good move and adding strengt to the team is always a good thing. beside he is young and can improve to sute our team.

there is no harm in adding one midfielder given denilson is out and Song is headed to South Africa.

i think if arsene sees a thing he goes for it,it's time we make a move from the money of the sales of adebayor and his counterpart?

Dont know much about this player, hopefully he is defensive minded midfielder as believe still lack physical presence in midfield. Alex Song having good season but he away in january and not much cover for him. Plus he would provide competition when Song is available.
