How can he consider us if he has already said hell be playing for one of the Manchester clubs next season?

Don't worry tomorrow he'll Say he has Considered Joining Everton as he loved the Spirit.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

Eh?

How can he consider us if he has already said hell be playing for one of the Manchester clubs next season?

I don't think he has a clue what he wants to be honest. I can't help but feel Lille aren't particularly concerned he is acting in this way either.

Manchester United are ready to match Manchester City's bid for Arsenal captain Robin van Persie. The 28-year-old striker's contract at the Emirates Stadium expires at the end of next season.
Full story: Daily Mirror

Juventus have curtailed their interest in Van Persie, preferring to avoid a bidding war with Manchester City and concentrate their efforts on luring Napoli forward Edison Cavani.

Man Utd or City? :popcorn:

[KSE Comedy Club]

I don't think he has a clue what he wants to be honest. I can't help but feel Lille aren't particularly concerned he is acting in this way either.Yeh, its all a bit dodgy to me.

A year or two ago, I would have been ecstatic to find out he would come to arsenal, but the last 6 months has shown him up to be nothing but a dirty little prostitute, whoring his wares out to whoever is willing to take him.

No thanks.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Man Utd or City? :popcorn:

None he'll go overseas simples.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Man Utd or City? :popcorn: I don't think he would go to city but utd could tempt his interest.

However, I still don't think he would be so disloyal to arsenal and would rather move abroad if he didn't want to sign on.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Mirror and Sun say Talks broke down, but who knows what to make of that.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Well if it's true, then it's not good news.

But then it's only the mirror and the sun and they talk bolllox so who knows what the truth is.

[McNamara That Ghost...]

What broke down? It wasn't a contract negotiation as far as I am aware.

[Cripps_orig]

ROBIN VAN PERSIE’S Arsenal future hangs in the balance after showdown talks with boss Arsene Wenger.

The Gunners had hoped to persuade their captain to agree a lucrative new three-year deal worth £130,000 a week that would see off interest from champions Manchester City and keep him at the Emirates.

But yesterday’s talks, which have been described as tense and tetchy, broke down with no agreement.

Fears are now mounting that Van Persie could be tempted by a move from Arsenal to the Etihad, with City desperate to land the Premier League’s top star.

As revealed in SunSport yesterday, Arsenal are willing to play hard ball if 28-year-old Van Persie does not sign — and will make him see out the last year of his current deal.

The Dutchman hit 37 goals for the Gunners this season and was named both PFA and Football Writers’ Player of the Year.

It's basically a fabricated load of crap.

He claims rvp has told arsenal he is fed up of not winning trophies which will put citeh on alert.

He does say that arsenal were remaining tight lipped on Wednesday night, but magically he knows how it went down.

What a load of horseshit.

Bottom line is, we won't know anything until we hear something official from the club.

The rags clearly have contacts etc and know more than us so i wouldnt dismiss this story just yet.

Lets be honest, most of us, in fact all of us bar Ollie who cant be counted at all wouldnt be surprised if RVP walked so there might be an element of truth behind this

[KSE Comedy Club]

I expect him to stay.

I just think he wants assurances that wenger is going to buy some decent players.

But I won't listen to these completely made up stories.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

More I hear (apparently) from this guy the less I like him and the less I want him anywhere near the club.

Brilliant player so understand where Ach is coming from but a massive whore (if you take what the papers say to heart) so I can understand NQ. In my experience the whores are usually here today and gone tomorrow so it may not be wise if we have the future in mind.

Let him become Citeh's problem, they have shown that you can stamp your feet, hold your breath even refuse to play and run off to your own country saying you will never be seen wearing the colours again and it is forgivable! Shit if you do it well enough you can almost make the club feel like they are wrong!

People on GW talk about class and the fact we are missing it......tell me where is the class in that!

Yes but Sandro is shit thats the diffrence.

Actually no, he's a good player

[hobson's choice]

what an unambitious little scrotum. why the fuck would you go spurs when you have all the big clubs wanting you? it's not even about first team football because he'd walk into our team, milan, inter, man utd, chelsea, probably even real madrid ahead of arbeloa.

they're not even in the champions league for definite yet !

it's not about money because he's hardly earning much by todays standard if he goes to spurs. really hope chelsea win the champions league so the tossers across the road don't get european football.

Why are you so mad, maybe he wants to go to Spurs, because he likes what he heard from them and feels this is the best choice for him.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Actually no, he's a good player

[dazthegooner]

Going back to the so called transfer talks what a load of bullshit how can you discuss what could possibly be your final big contract on a Wednesday morning? he's joining up with the Dutch national team today (I believe) it was probably just a meeting to get things rolling and what our intensions for next season are and anyway Wenger will keep an eye on him in the Euro's as he's probably working for French tv.

Its Clearly Nonsense anyway. Seems like a slow news days with those papers.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Atletico Madrid president Enrique Cerezo has intimated that the club would be willing to sell star striker Radamel Falcao - but only for the right price.

The Colombia international only joined the Rojiblancos last summer from Porto and has enjoyed a fantastic debut campaign at the Vicente Calderon, the highlight of which was his double in last week's Europa League final win over Athletic Bilbao.
Falcao's fine form has reportedly attracted the interest of Europe's elite, with Chelsea said to be considering offering Fernando Torres in exchange for their current top scorer, but while Cerezo admits every player has his price, he points out that rumours are often the work of mischievous agents.

"There are always snakes in summer and by August will see thousands who will be talking all the time like this," the Rojiblancos supremo told Caracol Radio.

"Falcao is under contract for four more years with Atletico Madrid, and at this time [of year] there are always offers.

"Football in Europe moves very quickly, so if there are bids, they will be studied; if not, then nothing."

Cerezo moved to reassure Atletico fans by adding that the club are hoping to hang on to a forward that he holds in the highest esteem.

"Unquestionably, we must recognize that [Barcelona's] Lionel Messi is one of the best players in the world, if not number one, but that does not mean that Falcao is within the top five," he argued.

Atletico paid Porto a reported €40 million for Falcao, who has subsequently hit 36 goals in 50 games for the side from the Spanish capital.

Regarding Van Persie, he was great for us this year but mainly because he was healthy all year. Based on his history one has to conclude that this season was an aberration. He could very easily get crocked at the Euros and we'll be his only suitors. If he'd been brilliant for half a season as per usual, no one would be talking quite so much about being desperate to land a very talented and productive player who can't stay fit for a full season and is rapidly approaching 30.

We've had faith in Van Persie since he joined us and I think he'll repay that faith.

He'll never have another season like this. Wouldn't surprise me if he did get injured or even if he went off the boil for large periods and managed to get around half the goals he's getting now. But I still think the club should give him whatever he wants. £200k, £300k - who gives a shit. We, as fans, are not going to see the benefits of holding the money.

Lukasz Fabianski is hoping Arsenal allow him to leave the club this summer after becoming frustrated at being left on the bench.

The Poland goalkeeper is understudy to his compatriot Wojciech Szczesny at the Emirates, but wants to be first choice.

And Fabianski, who joined Arsenal five years ago, has accepted that is not likely to happen in North London, and has set his heart set on a fresh start.

He told Polish newspaper Gazeta Wyborcza: "I hope that my adventure with Arsenal has come to an end.

"I intend to leave and play in a strong league.

"I wanted to leave in the winter, too, but Arsene Wenger did not give a green light."

This, if the money was going to spent on quality then id have no probs with selling him. But like you say Wenger and the board need to break the bank and keep him at all costs.

Whenever I've seen him play he's looked a really good player, and just the sort of creative player that we could do with tbh. He wouldn't cost the earth, and isn't such a "superstar" (yet) that Man City will be after him.

Yeah i go for him and like you say he'd not cost too much. He knows the league and could be what we need.

SNUBBED Theo Walcott has been left stunned by Arsenal failing to hold contract talks before he goes to Euro 2012.

While the Gunners made a big effort to negotiate with Robin Van Persie this week, they made no attempt to speak face to face with Walcott, who also has a year left on his deal.

Manchester City, Chelsea and Tottenham are all aware of the 23-year-old’s unrest at his treatment.

Arsenal are playing a risky game as he can leave on a free next summer.

Even if Arsenal do make an effort to bring Walcott in for talks before joining England, it is understood the winger will say ‘no’ because he does not want any distractions before Euro 2012.

Walcott joined the Gunners in a £15m deal in January 2006 and has been capped 22 times by his country.

But after a season in which his form was patchy, boss Arsene Wenger does not appear to be pulling out the stops to keep him.

Midfielder Alex Song is also going into the last year of his deal.

So the club face having to sell Van Persie, Walcott and Song or risk losing them on frees in a year.

Skysports.com understands Arsenal are leading the chase for Birmingham City starlet Foday Nabay and hope to conclude a deal next week.The teenager is regarded as one of the hottest prospects in the country having been called up by England Under-16s last summer as a 12-year-old.
Nabay, who is being labelled as the next Yaya Toure, (http://topics.skysports.com/Yaya+Toure/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif is believed to have activated a clause in his contract that allows him to leave St Andrews (http://topics.skysports.com/St+Andrews/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif with prospective clubs only needing to pay Blues (http://topics.skysports.com/blues/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif for training compensation.
CompetitionThe Sierra Leone-born youngster has spent six seasons with the Midlands club, but could now be on the verge of a move to one of England's elite with fierce competition for his signature.
Arsenal (http://topics.skysports.com/arsenal/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif are the favourites to land Nabay and it is obvious why the teenager would be interested in a move to the Gunners, who have helped the likes of Theo Walcott (http://topics.skysports.com/Theo+Walcott/?section=football)http://static.lingospot.com/spot/image/spacer.gif and Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain to develop to win places in England's 23-man squad for this summer's European Championship.
The north Londoners are understood to have seen a bid rejected by Birmingham last month, however, Arsenal are set to make a fresh move next week with a view to thrashing out terms.

Bendtner for Kagawa imho.


Borussia Dortmund midfielder Shinji Kagawa has fuelled speculation surrounding a possible move to the Premier League after putting his flat up for rent.The 23-year-old has been heavily linked with a transfer to Manchester United, who have in fact been trailing the BVB player for some time now, as Goal.com first revealed in April.

A deal looked increasingly likely after Sir Alex Ferguson travelled to Berlin to watch the Japanese in the DFB Pokal final, where the Dortmund man scored one and set-up another.

The player's agent has also confirmed talks with the Scot have taken place, while Kagawa himself said that he would love to play in the Premier League.

In a new revelation, Kagawa has put his flat up for rent online. There is yet to be any interest but it is expected to be resolved soon, paving the way for a move to England.

United's current top Asian import, Ji-Sung Park, has been quoted saying that the attacking midfielder would do well at the club.

Lille managing director Frederic Paquet has told Sky Sports that 'four teams' are challenging for Eden Hazard's signature.

The French season ended on Sunday with Hazard claiming a hat-trick in a 4-1 success over Nancy in what looks certain to have been his farewell appearance.

Both Manchester City and United are in the running for his signature, whilst European champions Chelsea have also emerged as contenders in recent days.

Paquet now says another club are also in the mix for Hazard but it is the player and not Lille who will decide.

"I am not sure he knows [who he will sign for] himself where he will go, so for the moment, we don't know," he told Sky Sports NewsHD.

"From my knowledge he has four teams interested in buying him.

"It is not up to us to tell to him [where to go].

"We have a very strong relationship with the player, we will work together and are waiting for him to make a choice between these four teams."

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Lille football star Eden Hazard will reportedly make his decision tonight on where in the EPL he will transfer to. Whoever misses out on the talented young player should consider themselves lucky.Let's take a look at why Hazard is such a hot commodity, and conversely, why he shouldn't be one. The Appeal of Eden Hazard

Listen, there is no denying this kid's talent, and at 21 years old, he only has room to continue to get better.

His skills are endless.

In 34 appearances with Lille, he scored 17 goals and distributed 16 assists. Additionally, he got off 2.8 shots per game, made 2.5 key passes per game and had a pass success percentage of 81.4.Insanely talented and creative with the ball at his feet, Hazard is tremendous at getting the ball down the sideline and whipping it in for his teammates, but he's also tremendous at putting the ball in the net.

Hazard made 23 appearances for Lille at left forward, but he can also move to the middle and play a center-attacking midfielder role because he can shoot from distance and finish with precision.

If you were ever going to call someone a poor-man's Cristiano Ronaldo, Eden Hazard would be the guy.



Why He Isn't Worth It

Simply put, the money is ridiculous.

According to dailymail.co.uk, Chelsea is offering Hazard £250,000 per week. While that's insanely high, it's certainly understandable considering how good Hazard is and how far he is from hitting his prime.

Nonetheless, I question taking that kind of a risk on Hazard. The main reason for this?

Hazard's attitude.He's talented, yes, but his poor attitude and propensity to sulk, argue and give up for balls scares me a little bit. Sure, you can probably find those attributes in a lot of footballers, but I wouldn't be willing to pay top dollar for someone like that.

To me they are just too unpredictable, especially once they get a huge deal.

It's possible that this is just me, but I don't like taking risks on flashy players. There's the chance they become one of the best in the world, yet the chance they flake out is too risky.

Additionally, Hazard is coming from Ligue 1, which is far from the EPL, although that doesn't scare me as much because he was tremendous in the Champions League as well.

Essentially, there's only a few players in the world I would give this kind of money to. Hazard isn't one of those players. Yet.

But he's in prime position to prove me wrong.

SSN say he would prefer a move to UTD in the summer.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Let this guy go. . .although we did little mire than qualify for the CL this season, it was the first time in a long time that our play wasnt dictated by one player.

Yes, RvP's goals carried us through but we werent controlled by the self-promoted, hyper inflated ego on one individual. From where I was sitting, I saw more balance, comradeship, drive in the team than I have in a long time. I admit there where times that things unravelled but I definitely hope to see the guys raise tbat a notch higher next time and Wenger to bring in likewise players.

Hazard does not fit that bill, what we will get is a great player but one who will thinks is audacious salary demands some kind of special treatment and we run the risk of unbalancing things once again.

We will need to offer wages that will satisfy the right player and hopefully get them to believe we do have ambition,
RvP will demand more than we have ever paid but we should give it to him because he has done his time. . .Eden has yet to.

[GP]

Even if we did want Hazard, which we don't, we'd never afford him anyway.

Move on.

Well he certainly wouldn't be too good for us. Apart from Zidane all the best French players have played for us. Too expensive, I'll give you that one. Honestly though, sounds exactly the sort of player we don't need. Don't know anything about this MVila either but don't care either way. I like Podolski already, he just decided on the move and got it done. Now he can play the summer out without all the transfer shit getting in the way and then get down to business with us (in our treatment room I bet, but still). Some of these players have an awful high opinion of thmeselves and in the end they are only marginally better than others who make much less fuss. We need 11 solid players on the pitch, not one prima donna with 10 water carriers. Arteta is a classic example, looking forward to seeing him playing for the shirt again rather than a dickhead like Hazard playing for his next transfer. Plenty of talent in the PL we could go after.

Jan Vertonghen is ready to hand in a transfer request to force through a move to Tottenham as Spurs chairman Daniel Levy holds crunch talks with Ajax in Amsterdam on Monday.The defender has told his club that he is only interested in a move to White Hart Lane and wants the two teams to swiftly agree a fee.

The Belgian centre-back has already agreed personal terms with Spurs after a trip to London in which he was shown around their new training centre in Enfield and was a guest of the club at their last match of the season, a 2-0 home win over Fulham.

The move has hit a snag over the Dutch club’s £12.1 million asking price, although Goal.com understands that Ajax will accept £9.7m for a player who only has a year remaining on his contractSpurs have so far offered £8.1m for the defender, who was named Eredivisie Player of the Year for his outstanding contribution to Ajax’s title triumph.

It is believed that Vertonghen is prepared to hand in a transfer request in order to push through the deal if talks on Monday result in stalement and the two clubs cannot secure an agreement.

The 25-year-old has his heart set on a move to White Hart Lane and his mind has not been changed by events in Munich on Saturday night, when Chelsea’s Champions League triumph relegated Spurs to the Europa League next season.

Tottenham made an official move for the Belgian at the start of this month having failed with an attempt to sign him in January and Vertonghen has settled on the north Londoners because he believes that he will be able to play more regularly in his favourite centre-back position for a Champions League-calibre club.
."Vertonghen has settled on the north Londoners because he believes that he will be able to play more regularly in his favourite centre-back position"Manager Harry Redknapp considers the defender a key part of his plans for next season and a long-term replacement for club captain Ledley King, who suffers from ongoing knee problems.

“Tottenham are absolutely my favourite," the defender told De Telegraaf earlier this month. "Tottenham is a fantastic football club that has the tradition I want. They buy young, eager, offensive-minded players.

“[But] the Ajax board are asking for a very big amount for a player whose contract is running out in year.

“I trust that both Tottenham and Ajax will put some water in the wine and they will soon reach an agreement."

We've seen this story before. He'll get his game ironed out, turn into a goalscoring freak, win a few titles and then join Real Madrid for £120m in 2016.

Pretty much. He'd be wasted at City tbh unless Nasri wants more bench time.

Where is Juve getting all this money from? They were in the shitter a few years back and were fined massively as well. Yet, they are back up with the best and looking to sign players with big money. WTF did I miss? Why cant a stable club like ours spend half of that a season? Forget half, we dont even spend what we make off of transfers! :banghead:

[Master Splinter]

Dids is leaving Chelsea.

Must Get.

Can beast in some +1s in the Cups and finally get us a TROPHY.

Where has all this Juve stuff come from?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Borussia Dortmund's highly-rated Japanese midfielder Shinji Kagawa will cost prospective buyers around 20 million euros (£16.17m).

The club's owner Hans-Joachim Watzke revealed the German champions want a 'princely sum' despite the 23-year-old having just a year remaining on his contract.

Kagawa, who netted 17 goals for Dortmund this season to help them secure a second consecutive title, has already met for talks with Manchester United boss Alex Ferguson, while he has also been linked to other high-profile clubs including Arsenal, Chelsea and AC Milan.
But Watzke told Sport Bild that the club would not be fooled into selling him for a derisory price.

Abilities

"We all know the abilities of Shinji, his youth and the value he adds to this side," said Watzke.

"I also note what Bayern Munich paid for goalkeeper Manuel Neuer (22 million euros from Schalkelast year).

"He also only had a year left on his contract. Given those facts we can certainly expect a princely sum for him."

That's a hell of a lot of shirts. Not sure if he's worth it.

Bargain

We have to make up for not flogging Park shirts tbf.

[Marc Overmars]

Kagawa will pay back his fee in shirt sales alone tbf.

And also when he scores the winner for us at Wembley next May. :good:

Seriously though, with Hazard apparently preferring a move to United, I think there's a #decent chance we may go for Kagawa. Can't see United buying both.

Rather get Gotze to Hazard, Harzard don't know whether he is coming or going.

why? why do we want another money grabbing little **** who seems more interested in whoring himself out to the biggest wage offer then actually playing football?

Pretty much and a Player who Don't give a shit about our Club or any of the clubs he is going too.

[Cripps_orig]

why? Cos hes a better player

[McNamara That Ghost...]

I don't think it's even about the best wage with Hazard, it's just a really weird situation that I can't understand. Him and Wenget would be a great WUM team though.

[Cripps_orig]

Rather get Gotze to Hazard, Harzard don't know whether he is coming or going.Gotze signed a new contract. Hes not going anywhere

[Olivier's xmas twist]

That's Questionable tbh.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Gotze signed a new contract. Hes not going anywhere

New Contracts don't mean anything in this day an age. If the right offer came in they sell and he'd be off.

[Cripps_orig]

New Contracts don't mean anything in this day an age. If the right offer came in they sell and he'd be off.How many players leave the same year they sign a new contract?

Not many

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Not many

Depends if the right offer comes in. Football is not like it used to be When contracts meant something.


Not saying Gotze will move or he is that type of player.

Yeah he's not worth that, even if he had 3-4 years left.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Any news on mvila yet?

Has he decided where he is going?

[Ollie the Optimist]

Yeah he's not worth that, even if he had 3-4 years left.

he has won the league twice in two years, played well and is young with best yet to come. id say he is.

I'm with you, funny thing about Japanese players, I'd expect to see some real superstars now as they've had an established league for a while, whilst they do have some excellent players they're never quite top level.

Nakata was not bad but he's been Japan's best player to date and even he wasn't really at the very top of the game. Wasn't overly impressed with Kagawa when we played them to be honest either. For that kind of money for a player with one year left on his contract we should be getting a top quality player.

Well there's yet to be a Japanese player who's been at the top of the game so I'm not convinced, they have yet to produce any superstars.

Very hard working for sure, but so far they've lacked that genius the very best players have.

[Ollie the Optimist]

what kind of arugment is that? japanese players havnt been very good so he wont be either? how about give him a chance? you moan we dont have winners etc then when we look to sign one you come with a bullshit point that he is japanese so will be shit

[Ollie the Optimist]

Any news on mvila yet?

Has he decided where he is going?

id say he has decided, he has said he is leaving rennes but not where too but i reckon he knows where he is going but the club in question and him have agreed to say nohting yet

[Niall_Quinn]

Cos hes a better player

He's been shit every time I have seen him.

[Özim]

I don't think he has that genius based on what I've seen of him, so no I don't think he'll be a top top player, he'll work hard get a few goals like Park Ji Sung but he won't be leading us to any trophies.

He's hardly a winner at his age, he's a kid who's been playing for the best team in Germany, good player no doubt but he's not the playmaker and isn't the one who makes the team tick.

[Özim]

He's been shit every time I have seen him.
Fair play but he's got the award for best player in France has something like 22 goals and 16 assists, bit of an all-rounder and not bad for a winger to be fair.

I reckon he'll turn out to be something special.

hasnt this season shown that arsenal seem to play better with players who work hard? yossi for example is not a quality player when compared to rvp etc but he worked fucking hard and made a vital difference to our season. same with park ji sung with united, played many great games for them and has the medals to show for it.

Not really no, we were knocked out of everything by February, lost 10 games in the league and received some heavy beatings as well. Park Ji Sung is a good squad player for Man U, but he's not usually in the 1st team, you don't spend 17 million on a player with one year left on his contract just to stick him on the bench.

I don't think it's fair to suggest he's a passenger at Dortmund. The guy is very productive and he's been a key figure in their back to back title wins. Just Youtube the guy (I know, I know), but it's pretty easy to deduce that he has extremely good tekkers, I'd even say he's got more ability than anyone in our current midfield.

Whether he would stand up to the physical nature of the Prem remains to be seen, but he's recieved plaudits for a reason and it shouldn't be ignored IMO.

Productive yes no doubt about that, but he's no matchwinner. Our current midfield isn't exactly top notch let's be honest, so sure he'd be an improvement, I think we need a bit of genius though and IMO he's not it.

I'm not saying he's a passenger at Dortmund, just that he's not the main man.

Im on you with this, there is a bit of over hypement with him tbh,

Well if he is so bad why us Fergie desperately after him.

[Cripps_orig]

Well if he is so bad why us Fergie desperately after him.Hes also after Hazard yet you think hes shit

[Özim]

Talk is he wants Hazard, maybe he'd be happy to have both but Hazard is most likely his main target out of the two....since he's a better player and a playmaker.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Hes also after Hazard yet you think hes shit

Where did i say he was shit fuck off with that.
