Is Phil Jagielka Heading To Arsenal

by David on July 26, 2010

According to the Mail on Sunday, Arsenal will make an improved bid for for Everton defender Phil Jagielka this week.

Arsenal have already had a bid of £10m rejected by Everton, but are prepared to offer £15m for the 27-year-old centre-half.

What do you think of adding Jagielka to the Arsenal squad? Is he a good fit?

What for £15million????????? I don;t think so… this is a non starter. AW simply will not pay this amount for someone of Jagielka’s ability, and I agree. He’s worth £8 million tops!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

It is a bit rich I agree, but I guess if you are Everton and managed to get £22m for Joleon Lescott last summer, then why not ask £15million for Jagielka?

Davi July 26, 2010 at 2:51 pm

Yeh, they can ask, but why should we pay it? We know he’s not worth it!

This is a non story. At £15M? No way. I would get 3 good CBs for this sum even if they are in their early 20s or late teens who care!

£15G For Phil ? You got to be kidding. AW won’t pay that much for a average centre-half. He’d rather buy 4 under-16 from French League 2 and save 5 million for future plans.

Adding Jagielka To our squad is very important, it is good to have two matured players in every position in football. Because luck of substitution led s to empty seasons for the fast 5 years.

that’s pretty much expensive and i don’t think he is the solution to our defensive problem.Arsenal should rather go for Metersacker who i think is a top quality and would add much to the desfense line because he is of top quality…………….take a look at his perfomance at the just concluded world cup and you will see what i mean

Jimmie July 26, 2010 at 7:46 pm

OF COURSE WE CARE. 15M just because he is English,, Arsenal already have more than enough Quota to satisfied the new ruling and we want to spend 6-7M more for average defender??? You must be Arry admirer, or Arry clone…….

The Everton fans I have seen rate Jagielka far above Lescott. They watch every game and they love him. I say spend the cash. Arsenal are the third biggest football team in the world financially. Lets get who we need so we can win the double……

“Metersacker who i think is a top quality and would add much to the desfense line because he is of top quality…………….take a look at his perfomance at the just concluded world cup and you will see what i mean” your wrong he was poor hes too slow for the epl rooney eats him alive and there are much faster players then him

IDRIS July 27, 2010 at 2:26 am

I think 15million is too much for Jagielka, he’s worth around 6 to 10 million. AW should not paid that amount, he should get someone not that expensive but willing and ready to make their own name, people, we are talking about arsenal here. We enstablish players, We dont buy enstablish players.

dickto July 27, 2010 at 4:32 am

Verma cost us arround 10mpds yet he is far better than Jagielka, just bring in Mertashscker he is a proven defender as seen in the world cup and i heard he will cost around 10mpds.AW just hurry so that he joins his teamates in austria.

AW should pay up, he is english and is a potential england captain, Wenger can see the benefits and advantages. Itr a win-win

Obiora July 27, 2010 at 6:35 am

Jags for 15mil? mennnn dat’s ridiculous…it is cos he’s english? Citey has messed up the transfer market with outrageous sums for average players(Lescott 25mill last season). Honestly, i prefer Metresacker or @ worst Boughera(cos he’ll cost less than Jagielka and to me they’re on the same level.

ladman semih July 27, 2010 at 9:07 am

arsene should go and get him 4that price, because he is the best defender now in everton.

Stormy July 27, 2010 at 1:06 pm

15 millions you might be kidding. We paid 4 million for Gallas; 10 millions for Vermaelen who are top quality and Jaglieka who?? 8 millions is more than enough!!!! I can not stop to see everywhere we need english talents breaking through the top flight…Top managers not buying enough English players…. This the reason WHY 15 millions for a player who still need to developped his game that can not be developped at Everton…I m sure everyone remember the price asking for Curtis Davies ( We buy Verminator instead).Does everyone saw him shinning????

we all arsenal fan we need that play

JNR007 July 27, 2010 at 5:49 pm

15 mill ?? please just buy mertersacker instead he’s not worth that much money, and this is the exact reason why Arsenal dont sign english players from others prem teams “OVERPRICED”
