Haha yes. Well Aguero, Silva and De Bruyne are definitely Guardiola players, and I think Nasri is as well but he's . What they need is a winger who can finish inside the box. I don't think Iheanacho can play on the wing and Sterling and Navas literary can't hit an empty net.
So, Vardy, personal terms agreed and medical tomorrow. Apparently.
In other Arsenal related news/rumours..
Antonio Colak (striker) terms agreed.
Roberto Rodriguez (LB) terms agreed.
4 signings within a month of the end of the season? Cannot be true.

There's some dark magic at work for sure.
Ranieri claiming Wenger will pay over £29m for Vardy. If Leicester really are going to demand that sort of money I'd rather Wenger told them to stick it, he's not worth that much. I don't think Ranieri knows Arsene very well.
Leicester is not demanding anything I think, that's just his buy-out clause if I understood correctly.
I read it's £20m. Once that was offered it triggered the 'right' to start negotiations. Terms were agreed this afternoon (£120.000pw). The club can dig in and try to negotiate more but when the player wants to go he can demand they stick to the terms of the release clause... Or/If Vardy allows Leicester to try and negotiate, anything over £20m he gets a %, Wenger could walk away, he's done that many times before.
Multiple sources confirm Arsenal will pay the full clause for Vardy.
The first pick for Leicester to replace him is Slimani from Sporting Lisboa (27 goals in 31 appearences). Someone might remember him for his good performance in the World Cup with Algeria.
I do remember that guy. Algeria got one badass national team.
The Arsenal rumour mill went into overdrive today as stories crop up that Le Arse are also in talks with Riyad Mahrez or/as well as Henrikh Mkhitaryan while Vardy has flown out to France for the Euro's with deal seeming to stall. With all the speculation over those who might come in the players already there have been forgotten until today. Stories staring to surface Walcott, Ox and Gibbs are all going to be moved on this summer.
It's the first time Wenger has been really aggressive on transfer, it wouldn't surprise me if he ended up with players coming in without actually replacing those leaving and we'll end up short in positions we had too many players for last season.

Vardy doesn't seem like the typical Wenger signing. I'm quite surprised that he wants to buy a 29 year old Englishman.

Looks like a pretty heavy rebuild for my BVB:
gone:
Hummels Gündogan
possible exits:
Mikhitarjan, Subotic, Leitner, Park etc
in:
Dembele, Rode, Bartra, Merino, Mor + Guerreiro is also very likely.
Besides Merino all done within 3 weeks or so, Zorc is on a shopping spree...
Next season could be fun, attacking Europe with the kids.
Weigl (20), Dembele, Merino (19), Pulisic (17), Mor, Passlack (18), Guerreiro (22). Mangala (18) is also coming I heard, but being loaned again for now.

Rumours speak of a 120 mil euro offers from Real Madrid for Pogba.
Vardy to turn down Arsenal.
Henrikh Mkhitaryan: close to a move to Arsenal - Until Utd decided to make inquiries.
Vardy is better where he is - assuming the rest stay - now Mahrez or Kante - they would fit better at Arsenal.

Mahrez I'd take. Kante too but we'd have to lose someone to find him a place. Ramsey or Wilshire?
Joao carlos teixeira, from Liverpool, just signed for Porto for 5 years.
Looks like it's getting dirty between Mikhitarjan and Dortmund, his agent tries to force his way out, while Watzke seem to be inclined to keep him until his contract runs out (like Lewandowski) This time I hope the club sells for the right price, sensitive plant Mikhitarjan, who shirks from taking a penalty in a final, will be useless in this situation, unlike Lewandowski

Vardy not going to Arsenal apparently now. No surprise there, if it wasn't done before he went to Euros it never was going to happen. http://www.bbc.co.uk/sport/football/36571877
