5. Luiz Gustavo
In the latest of a long line of transfer gaffes by Arsenal this summer, Luiz Gustavo seems to have made the move to Wolsburg – a side that finished 11th in the Bundesliga last season. The Brazilian would have been a perfect signing for the Gunners, as they are still in need of a true defensive midfielder to replace Alex Song. Gustavo has talked up Arsenal on several occasions this summer, hinting strongly that he would be interested in a move, but the frugal Arsene Wenger seems once again to have been unwilling to meet Bayern Munich’s asking price, bidding just a little too low to persuade them to sell their player. It is not clear now if Wenger will manage to find anyone else for such a reasonable price before the end of the transfer window.
