That along with Di maria committing as well, things look bleak and not even a murmur yet.

What chance is there that we will only sign Flamini? There will be a massive back lash if thats the case and I have to say they would have no one to blame but themselves

On the plus side, Schalke have apparently confirmed to Bild that they haven't ruled out selling Draxler this summer. Not that we've been linked with him though!

I wouldn't give a fcuk if he's cup tied.
He's one of the best young talents in the Bundesliga.

Very true, shoulda put a disclaimer in against his name!

And Fenerbache have been booted out. Crap process, a few needless injuries that we picked up because of it

aye, he's deadly, but 45m euro for a 19 year old? I don't see us spending that

The longer this goes on the more I'm thinking that AW is waiting for one of the bigger clubs not the make it into the CL group stages and then maybe swoop for one of their players.

The news out of RM is disappointing as it looks like none of our proposed targets are leaving.

Not sure who that leaves. Could be as bad as Barry, Cabaye and Flamini

I wouldnt even be that optimistic, still think it'll only be Flamini and then a deadline day signing of Cabaye to get the best price.

Real Madrid will ship people out to pay for the Bale deal at least one of Ozil or Di Maria will go - whether we end up with them is a different matter

Doubt it. Only big team that won't go through is Lyon. Milan should sneak past PSV. It's foolhardy to think Wenger has planned anything at this point.

Hamburg boss Thorsten Fink on Nicklas Bendtner.

Wouldn't make sense, the players would be cup tied.

Wasn't aware of that, I thought once you played any part of CL that you were cup tied.

As far as I know both have come out and committed to RM

No, any player who plays in the qualifiers is only cup tied if the team he plays for make it through to the group stages.

That'd change pretty quickly if Real tell them they're going to be on the bench at best.

Not that I really expect us to get any of them, mind you.

I doubt that will be an end to it. Do you think Van De Vaart wanted to leave Real Madrid to join Spurs ?

1. He thinks he's as good as Messi.
2. He's shiit.
3. THAT chance V Barcelona in the Nou Camp.
4. His wages.
5. He won't move.
6. The number "52" story.
7. He's sort of an all round Dick.

etc...

They might be commited to Real Madrid but are Real Madrid commited to them is the main question .

Waiting for them to come out and start spinning that they have to wait until the January window due to unforeseen circumstances. Just wait.

If we wait til January no one will want to join us. We'd be out of everything by then

Exactly - then we are told to wait until the summer where we can finally make big signings.

Flamini is signing a 3 year contract, 75k a week.

absolutely brilliant.

On a more serious note, I am getting to the point where I don't think we are going to sign anybody substantial. . .

If that's true then that's the kind of bullshít that leaves us with over inflated wages budgets.

Pepe LeFrits

Other clubs are such idiots. They pay for players when we get our super super quality for free!

Hyzepher

I'm ok with Flamini - at least I think I am. They have had him for a few weeks so I'm sure AW still thinks he can do a good job and in fairness he's better and more versatile than any of the high earners we've released. A good squad player who will definitely get game time.

jank

If the figure is true that is just under a 12 million outlay spread over 3 years, about 3.9 million per year. Not too bad for a utility player of his quality considering there is talk of Cabaye coming in for 20 million and I am sure his wages would be there abouts the same....

Also, thats the DM position sorted, kinda.

Need CB, CF and Winger.
Di Maria and a Benzema like quality striker would be great!

jester77

75k :eek: surely a pisstake, after clearing out most of the overpaid squad members I can't believe we would pay him anywhere near 75k.

Hyzepher

getting both Di Maria and Benzema would shut everyone up and be a great summer. If there was any chance of this happening I think AW should break the bank to make it happen. Somewhere around €50 to €60 million with 100k+ salaries. An outside chance of still affording a CB as cover.

Use this as a springboard to progression and more signings next year.

Put everyone in against Spurs and show them that they still have a long way to go before they'll worry us!

cson

Everything's too quiet for my liking.

There'd be snippets here and there if we we're making big plays; you'd see the smoke. This has me worried.

Oranage2

Sounds ironic in the non ironic sense of the word but isn't 75k less than what he wanted when he left?

I don't believe it.

Also I hear Lyon are having a fire sale, id expect an under welming signing from them.

75k isnt too bad to be honest. I wouldn't put Flamini in the same bracket as the likes of Santos or Gervinho. I think he'll do a job for us perhaps starting with the NLD on Sunday and the £75k wont seem so bad then

Really? Jesus im surprised by that. I always thought Lyon were steady enough? They never struck me as huge spenders and they made millions on players throughout the noughties such Essien, Mamadou Diarra, etc. Whats the story there then?

Chances are they won't make the group stage of the Champions League.
