I'm a bit lost here where you being sarcastic or was I? I thought it was a decent bid

It's a perfectly sound bid. It's an enormous sum of money for an excellent footballer.

I was making a joke of how everyone with anything to do with Liverpool from the manager to the cleaning lady from back in the 60's seemed to think our bid of £1 more than that for Suarez was insulting or laughable.

Too soon for "Wenger out" protests?

speedboatchase

This is just embarrassing now.

Gringo180

Sure is it any wonder we cant attract players anymore, we sell our best players to our nearest rivals what sort of message does that send out.

tayto lover

Our "marquee" player will be someone from Duffy's feckin Circus.

A mad trolly dash on the eve of the transfer deadline...... the bargains, whoever is left. Same old Wenger.

Those bargains could include Eriksen and Alderweirald Don't give up yet lads, keep the toys in the pram until the end of the window

Gustavo meltdown alert!

.jacksparrow.

Why would he choose wolf over us, we were never in for him, that's obvious.

FearDark

I'm going to ****ing explode.

farna_boy

Gustavo said a few days ago he didn't want to fight for a place but wanted to be guaranteed a first team spot. He sounds like another Arshavin/Bendtner in the making to me. He may have loads of talent, but if he is not willing to fight for a place on the team or put in the effort, Wolfsburg (or whoever else) are more than welcome to him.

Don't just assume there will be one. If we get off to a decent start Wenger won't move on anyone. It took an 8-2 defeat for the last trolley dash. This time around the CL qualifier and Spurs game will decide if we spend.

I wouldnt compare him to them to be fair.
Surely he could have got more money at Arsenal.

Are these sources reliable?

That's a convenient way to spin it. I never saw any quotes like that at all.

reminds me of Verthongen, was afraid to come because place wasnt guaranteed, now he plays for some tin pot side in north london :pac:

No that was absolutely the reason for him leaving Bayern Munich. 'the Die Welt article mentions it anyway.

Where did the Gustavo thing come from? Who said we were interested? It's hard to keep track when seemingly every single link to every player is posted.

Geoff Arsenal was the first to say it, picked up on then by all the papers, Sky, BBC and other "ITKs"

If this is to be believed we haggled over the fee again -
If so then the miserly policy is alive and well at Arsenal.

In other news, Eircom just knocked €10 off my monthly bill.


That should get me into one CAT A game this season, or 3 ****e one's

Extremely dubious stories floating around that site.

Going to watch the Brazil game to scout our news players, Cesar and Gustavo

Looper007

Still waiting to hear "Wenger is trying his best" and "let's Wait until the transfer window ends".

This is like a Shakespeare tragedy been a Arsenal fan. I don't see this ending well for us or Wenger.

Bargin basement singings isn't sending out the right message to our fans or our rivals.

Countless 'bargain basement' signing for us have been amazing. Probably the best players Wenger has signing have been from the 'bargain basement'.

Trawled back 20 pages to find the code for fantasy football... anyone have it?

That was the point I was trying to make. Although the press conference will mean sweet FA. He won't state anything other than the game ahead. There'll be slight allusions to some transfer progress but we won't know until the fat lady loses her voice.

Can't wait for the game on Saturday, it's been too long. Villa will be great a team to play as well, not a bad opener. Hopefully no injuries tonight and we'll be flying. Wonder who'll play LW? Rosicky? Podolski on the bench for coverage in ST and the Wing.

overpronator

Apparently he's agreed to join Wolfsburg.

Is anyone even surprised?

Different time now Gunns, we need to make a statement. We haven't won anything in a long time. Even Wigan Portsmouth and Swansea have won trophies. We can't accept another trophyless season can we?

We were promised to spend cash and yet our Transfer policy has been disgraceful.
