[Darth Vela]

Yeah reckon Shaktar would be more tempted by a plate of dogshite than Denilson to be honest, looks like we're going to have some serious problems offloading this deluded soul......and here I was hoping they would let us have Willian in an exchange!

Maybe if we threw in Squillaci...

[Cripps_orig]

Give them Koscielny instead

[Özim]

Give them Koscielny instead
Let them have all three to be honest.

[Darth Vela]

Get rid of our good defender instead of our shit one? Either you're a little touched in the head or I'm missing the joke somewhere.

Good defender? Koscielny? :lol:

He is better than Toto admittedly but as a great man once said, "shit being better than shit is still shit"

Plus more chance of Shakthar saying yes to Kozza as hes younger and there is a chance however small that he might not be shit in future

Shock Headline: Barca President claims Fabregas is Worthless

[Cripps_orig]

Let them have all three to be honest.

Toto, Kozza and Denilshit?

Id rather have money for the 3 tbh but then thinking about it, wtf are we going to do with £500k which is what all 3 are worth

[Boss]

Serious question. It looks like we will sign samba and gervinho, if wenger signs cahil too and perhaps one more. Is it enough or do you want more?

We still need a player with experience of winning stuff or with some star quality, preferably a big name. I'm tired of us always going for 'unknowns' or lesser quality players just because we want to save money. If we were in for Sanchez for example that would make a statement of intent, we won't obviously.

Although Gervinho looks a good buy long term, he's not going to be at 100% for most of the season. Will take a few months to bed in and then will be off for the ACoN in January, meaning there's a good chance we won't see him at full ability for half the season.

It's time for the board to man up.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Looks like we're stuck with Denilshit :rose:

He did play against them away tbf and put in his normal shit performance so we can't convince them on the back of youtube vids unfortunatley.

Not really we were never in for costa its William we want

[Bergkampwonderland10]

And what African from France has Wenger signed recently? Chamakh is French born and bred.
Pretty sure, Morocco was in Africa last time I checked.

[Bergkampwonderland10]

i dunno how neutrals can comment with so much conviction about players that have only had one year in the prem. all its based on is highlights and one or two live matches.

Some of us have moved to countries where they show all the premiership games in full and you can watch them at your leisure. I've seen enough of Tiote to pass judgment - he came highly recommended by Steve McClaren of all people - ha - he got that spot on. Excellent player that will only get better and tough as nails and a real workhorse - talk to any Geordie fan and they will also tell you that him and Ben Arfa before his leg was smashed by De Jong - were absolutely bargain signings - and I would've loved to see them both in Arsenal shirts.

[LDG]

I'm quite excited for the first time in ages.

I actually think our manager is gonna do something about the mess we're in.

:pray:

Just get a keeper in that and the transformation to the good side will be complete

Pretty sure, Morocco was in Africa last time I checked.
It is.

But Chamakh was born and bred in France, as I said.

[Bergkampwonderland10]

If it were up to me...
IN: Cahill 15m, Samba 8m, Eto'o 10m, Defoe 8m, Tiote 12m, Rodwell 13m (I think will develop into an excellent player) =65million or so?
OUT: Arshavin 9m, Denilson 6m, Bendtner 10m, Clichy 8m, Vela 5m, Diaby 6m, Squillacci 1m, =45million or so?

NET spend 20million
Personally I would have liked to spend on Ashley Young - but looks like he's a Manc now.

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Chamakh was born in france not Morocco

[Olivier's xmas twist]

We should not go for defoe like MS said he is shit.

[LDG]

Chamakh was born in a place not far from Iraq IIRC tbf IMO WWTL@WHL

[Bergkampwonderland10]

It is.

But Chamakh was born and bred in France, as I said.

Ah ok. He's still technically North African though.

Rodwell would cost a minimum of £20 million and Eto'o, even at 30, would be worth alot more than that. And there's a 0.005% chance of him coming here.

[Cripps_orig]

Rodwell is pretty shit tbh

[Master Splinter]

Rodwell is pretty shit tbh
Which is still slightly better than Parker.

[GP]

Actual shit, from a cat, is better than Parker.

[Coney]

http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13799626.stm


Barcelona president Sandro Rosell believes that the value of Arsenal skipper Cesc Fabregas has gone down since last summer.

The Catalan club failed to sign the 24-year-old Spain midfielder last year.

"If last summer we offered 40m euros (£35.1m) for Cesc, since then there has been wear and tear, now he's worth less," said Rosell.

What a pathetic attempt to bring the price down. Who is he trying to kid?

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Rodwell is pretty shit tbh

Bit unfair to say,

[Coney]

Bit unfair to say,

Yeah - but look at the thread title - this is the bollocks thread so you can say anything and be right. :good:

[LDG]

Actual shit, from a cat, is better than Parker.

I'd still bang the fuck out of Lady Penelope tho.

[Cripps_orig]

Bit unfair to say,

He along with the likes of Henderson are very average. Hyped to the maximum cos of their nationality but have done nothing on the pitch to merit it.

Unlike Parker who has been excellent for some time and is a must get

Arsenal (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/clubs/t3/arsenal) will face a battle for Gervinho as Lille prepare to offer their striker a new deal.
Arsene Wenger (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/term/arsene-wenger) looked set to loosen his purse strings with a £12million bid for the Ivory Coast star but the Ligue 1 champions will not be losing their main man without a fight.
Lille general manager Frederic Paquet - who earlier this week revealed talks between the two clubs over the 23-year-old were at an "advanced stage" said: "We are in negotiations with Arsenal over Gervinho.
"We received an offer from London and although our intention is to offer a new contract to our striker we will talk to Arsenal."
Gervinho played an instrumental role in Lille's double-winning campaign, scoring 18 goals and providing 10 assists in all competitions but his exit could help secure the services of the highly coveted Eden Hazard.

Saiifou top of the list, if we're losing a New Zidane we might as well pick up the Togolese Zidane.

If Hargreaves was fit, id love him here. Awesome player.

But then if he was fit there is no way he'd be available on a free

Worth a risk id say

Yeah but they're FRENCH nobodies, that makes them either Henry or Vieira dontcha know.

He's better, you can't chant Adebayor to the tune of Daddy Cool.

[Master Splinter]

Salifou :bow:

What a player.

[Ironing]

Rodwell is an absolute shitcunt

I watched him in that under 21 game the other day and his performance / touch / control / general lack of ability was totally inexcusable. If he ever played like that for Arsenal I would literally want to murder him.

P.S. So glad Mark Randall is gone, the bellend. No offence Mark if you're reading this, i'm sure you're a good lad.

[Özim]

P.S. So glad Mark Randall is gone, the bellend. No offence Mark if you're reading this, i'm sure you're a good lad.
Yeah we're going to miss our Randall the vandal from Chav central.

[Marc Overmars]

Having met and played against him when I was 16, I can confirm Randall is indeed a cunt.

[Sirjackofwilshere]

Having met and played against him when I was 16, I can confirm Randall is indeed a cunt.

Do tell :popcorn:

A lot of our youngsters have an inflated sense of self-importance..the wages they get, the lifestyle, the fact that they come from gang ridden estates...all contribute.

[Marc Overmars]

I played against him in our local under 16's league. He was just a bit of stuck up prat, bitching to the ref if anyone touched him. It was well known that he was being scouted for professional clubs so I guess everyone was a bit envious really and roughed him up when they could. He was shit though so no one could understand why, very easy to knock off the ball.

Seen him out several times in the bars and clubs in MK, especially when he was on loan at the Dons. Typical mind of a footballer, 95% of people didn't know who the fuck he was but acted like he was A-list.

A nothing player who will never amount to anything. Well rid.

[GP]

His middle name is Leonard.

Says it all, I'm afraid.

[Cripps_orig]

Arsenal are considering a move for Inter Milan's Cameroon striker Samuel Eto'o after he revealed he would like to try his hand in the Premier League this coming season. "I have already shown that I have what it takes to play in Italy and I now have the idea of proving myself in England," Eto'o told Corriere dello Sport. (Full story: Corriere dello Sport)

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is also keeping tabs on Germany Under-17 striker Samed Yesil. The 17-year-old is yet to break into the first team at Bayer Leverkusen but has attracted the interest of a number of clubs across Europe after some dazzling form in the European U-17 Championship earlier this year.
Full story: talkSPORT

The north London club could be on the verge of a double transfer coup after opening talks over signing Bolton defender Gary Cahill, and their former midfielder Sebastian Larsson, who is a free agent after leaving Birmingham.
Full story: Metro

Wenger's side are also poised to complete the signing of Lille forward Gervinho for £10.6m in the next 48 hours.
Full story: Daily Mirror

However, French club Lille are preparing to offer Gervinho a new contract in a last-ditch bid to ward off interest from the Gunners.
Full story: talkSPORT

How much of that will come true?

[Ironing]

Only the last line

[Marc Overmars]

I would bum Wenger like it's 2004 again if we signed Eto'o.

[Sirjackofwilshere]

No way we're getting Eto. His wage demands are too high..will be off to Citeh if he comes to the PL...which is a shame because I've always felt he could have been immense for us.

But yah, the rumours and links with numerous players, after several years of transfer drought are certainly exciting.

[Mr.Singh]

If wenger did bring in Eto'o then I will change my name to "I Love Spurs"

[KESSLER]

Hasn't Eto'o and Song just had a bit of a bust up with the national team?

Would probably rule us out tbh

[Cripps_orig]

Hasn't Eto'o and Song just had a bit of a bust up with the national team?

Yes they have but shouldn't be a problem for us cos we can just sell Song tbh and get Parker in

Kevin Phillips released...He scores goals :)...okay im joking he aint arsenal quality :(

[Ollie the Optimist]

"What is the limit for signing him? We'll need to see. First we need to know what his salary is and what are his conditions."

a quote from barcunts president. this one espcially angers me. the first thing any club should do is ask the club who owns the player if they want to sell and bid for him, not talk to the players cos thats fucking tapping up. they are fucking cunts

[Japan Shaking All Over]

If Hargreaves was fit, id love him here. Awesome player.

But then if he was fit there is no way he'd be available on a free

Worth a risk id say

No its not, cos you would still have to pay him a salary and that would be a waste of money
unless he agreed a pay as you play deak and we throw in a clause that states he is to was his own kit

[Japan Shaking All Over]

His middle name is Leonard.

Says it all, I'm afraid.

Tell us your middle name so we can pass judgement on you too:pal:

Yeah like you say typical footballer, he also looks like a complete chav.

Nobodies with next to no talent like him should be more humble, he got a lucky break some players put their heads down work their socks off and make the most of that, others just act like big shots.

This guy sounds like a tw*t, he'll probably end up playing for some Sunday league team.

We don't get to see anything of the European leagues outside of CL stuff down under so i had to go to Youtube to find anything on this guy. If what i've seen there is the best of his career i have to agree with you. All sounds a bit too much like the hype that preceeded Chamakh to me which, as we know, quickly turned to fizzle

[Coney]

Fuck me, just seen the draw for next season. Newcastle away, Pool home, Manure away. Please Arsene, buy Samba anbd Cahill quick!

I'd rather play manu at the start of the season before they have really got going. We did OK last year at OT - yeah, I know we lost 2-1 but they did not play well and we had to score their winning goal for them (thanks, Diaby) and without bad luck, we should have won that one, or certainly been good for at least a point. I think they are more nervous at the start of the season, growing in confidence through the season, so that is the time when they are most vulnerable and giving us the best chance to nick 3 points at their gaff.

Is this another one of those players AW likes to go for, from the French league, not that well known and not too expensive.

Not that excited about him either tbh, I'd like to see more established players preferably, who are a bit more proven at the highest level.

Face it mate, your son 'the hitman' :haha: is fucking shite and we'll be lucky to get anywhere near £8m for him let alone £12m.

[Flavs]

Its shows the ego of Bentdner that we arent even bothering to offer to the likes of Blackburn and Bolton in an exchange deal. What a thundercunt

[Darth Vela]

If we offer him around to clubs and make him listen to the responses maybe it'd give him a little more humility so he'll work harder on his flaws and become a useful player for us.

Probably not though.

Need to get shot of this twat as quick as possible.

[Darth Vela]

But if nobody wants him, we might end up keeping him, you've got to prepare yourself for the possibility else you'll just faint away when it happens.

[Marc Overmars]

It wouldn't surprise me if clubs are staying away from him because of the sort of character he is. I wouldn't like to manage someone like him with his self importance.

[KSE Comedy Club]

If no one wants to buy him then we should just cut our losses and give him away tbh.

If no one wants to buy him then we should just cut our losses and give him away tbh.

Yeah no thanks, the guy is a complete thug.

He encapsulates some of the worst things in football.

[Cripps_orig]

Better than most of our midfielders but no thanks

[Alan B'stard]

Its shows the ego of Bentdner that we arent even bothering to offer to the likes of Blackburn and Bolton in an exchange deal. What a thundercunt

or that he is a well advised and rational young man who refuses to
(a) take a pay cut
(b) lose his taste for CL football
and (c) move to those rancid shitholes

[Alan B'stard]

@punchinello beezo sorry. thought it was new.

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Gaylord.

:shrug:

you win:ilt:

[selassie]

If no one wants to buy him then we should just cut our losses and give him away tbh.

Tis a worry that nobody seems to want to touch our rubbish (Denilson, Bendy, Rosicky) etc.

The bigger worry is the wages they are on, I heard they are all on in excess of 50K per week.

Understandable for Rosicky. When we got him, he was one of the best midfielders in Europe. Injuries and Wengeritis have pretty much killed him though.

The other 2 however have done f all to merit those kind of wages

[Ollie the Optimist]

i would rather keep denilson and bentner then sign barton, cunt of a man

The problem I have always had is that there has never been any actual proof that they are on this level of wages. This statement is only ever written when people want to slag them off.

[Alan B'stard]

i think we've been railroaded into having a lot of dross on high wages becasue we've had a period where we cant go replace them due to tight transfer spending / too many kids in the first team squad already. ergo they can write their own tickets and hold us to ransom and we have had to agree to those wage demands.

IF we are re3balancing between project yoof and recruiting quality due to being more comfortable financially we can call players bluff when they ask for more than they deserve (eg clichy, nasri)

[Cripps_orig]

Apparently Sol have had a couple of offers from PL clubs.

Surely not?...

Yep, also players who had gone stale as there was no real threadt of them being shipped out if they played badly will now know thanks to Stan we can simply get rid and replace them. Hopefully this will cause a few to pull up their socks and dig in

CESC FABREGAS: 'NEVER SAY NEVER' TO REAL MADRID

CESC Fabregas opened the doors to Real Madrid yesterday by saying he would 'never say never' to a move.

Last year, Fabregas said that he would only leave Arsenal to go to Barcelona.

But according to Spanish football website, Marca.com, the Arsenal midfielder has now changed his mind and opened the door to Barcelona rivals, Real Madrid.

Speaking at the launch of new fragrance Angel Schlesser, the playmaker said: "I would never say never."

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has always had his sights on Fabregas since Barcelona offered £40million for the player last year.

http://www.express.co.uk/football/view/253344/Cesc-Fabregas-Never-say-never-to-Real-Madrid

Well that would give lie to the oft repeated statement that Fabregas wants to leave because he wants to win things and wants to go home to Catalunya.

sol could do a job at QPR. WOUldnt be surprised to see him hired on a fat wage by west ham as a 'name' to appease their fans with

yeah sure do! were a lot on GW who thought this would be a decent signing for us including me

I for one believe by looking at Samb and Cahill he is going long the right road.......a defender that listens to thrash metal on his headphones rather than Mozart or the Nolan Sisters is what should be looking at at this pricise moment

Are we even going to sign anyone or let the dross go lol, the longer i here Alumina and denilson and nicklas ba are still here gets me worried everyday lol

[Power n Glory]

In five words: Quick, athletic, tricky and versatile


He reminds me of Wiltord. Striker/winger type and the goals I've seen him score look a little untidy. Not really impressed with what I've seen so far. Doesn't look super tricky or quick, not so sure about his shooting technique. Quite a lot of taps ins and running around the keeper type goals but no real bullet shots, precesion strikes or anything like that and we need more of that because he won't get as much time on the ball here. Only if we signed Sessegnon. Was so impressed when he came here with PSG to play in the Emirates Cup. Damn shame he's gone to Sunderland. He's skilful, can pass, powerful and has a bullet shot. Oh well.

We'll see what Gervinho does when he arrives but I think he's going to be a back up player for now. I can't see him starting ahead of Nasri, Arshavin or Walcott. Could be a good sub when legs are tired and we need to switch it up. We need players that are willing to take on their man on the flanks.

[Özim]

Let's face it who would want these guys, Wenger may have kept hold of them for years but most managers wouldn't touch them with a bargepole.

As for the signings, we seem to be linked with a load of players......noone signed yet though, other clubs have managed to sign players with relatively no fuss. Not convinced these names we're being linked with are actually going to happen anyway.

Gervinho possibly but noone seems convinced about this guy, not exactly what we wanted.

Stoke (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/clubs/t110/stoke) are preparing an audacious bid to sign former Real Madrid star Mahamadou Diarra.
The Mali international was signed by the Spanish giants from Lyon for £17.5million in 2006 but fell down the pecking at the Bernabeu following the arrivals of Sami Khedira and Xabi Alonso last summer.
He moved to Monaco in January but is now ready to move on again and that has alerted Stoke boss Tony Pulis (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/term/tony-pulis), who believes he can thrash out a deal for the 30-year-old.
Pulis is also keen on Birmingham defender Scott Dann (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/players/p19188/scott-dann) but faces a fight to land the 24-year-old, with Liverpool (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/clubs/t14/liverpool) and Aston Villa (http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-news/football/clubs/t7/astonvilla) also reported to be keen.

Anderlecht have said they are in talks with Chelsea over the possible transfer of Romelu Lukaku to Stamford Bridge.
The 18-year-old Belgian striker has been linked with a move to the Premier League runners-up for a few months.
Anderlecht general manager Herman van Holsbeeck said: "There is still a long way to go in the negotiations.
"We are indeed negotiating with Chelsea, but there are other clubs we are talking to."
The teenager has also been linked with Chelsea's Premier League rivals Arsenal, Manchester City and Tottenham.
He was linked with a move to England in January (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/9301949.stm) but instead stayed with Anderlecht until the end of the season.
The transfer could involve Blues midfielder Kevin De Bruyne joining the Brussels club on loan.
Van Holsbeeck added: "It could happen in the next half hour, it could take until 31 August - that is football."
Chelsea appear to be negotiating transfers despite being without a manager since May following the departure of Carlo Ancelotti.
This week they were reported to have had a £22m bid for midfielder Luka Modric rejected by Tottenham (http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/13789159.stm).

The Times reporting #AFC had talks with reps of #NUFC's José Enrique. They see him as a potential replacement for #LFC target Gaël Clichy.
13 minutes ago

don't know what to make of Enrique. At least hes PL proven.

[Toronto Gooner]

Well, PL experienced; proven might be a stretch.

[KSE Comedy Club]

Nah, thats gotta be shitrag bollox.

[Cripps_orig]

Would love Jose Enrique here. Excellent player

[Japan Shaking All Over]

I can go with that Enrique had a very good season last year
one of Newcastles best players and better than Clichy by a country mile

very good signing indeed, can play football, cross and fits AW running FB mode

my first choice would be Baines but can see the Toffees dragging that one out

Enrique would be cheaper so woeth a punt

[Boss]

Would prefer Baines, we need someone who can take free kicks.

[Marc Overmars]

Gervinho should be signed next week.

[Darth Vela]

That's my thinking, Enrique would do a job for us on the left but not much better than Baines and with the added possibility of a guy who can actually score free-kicks, we'd be silly not to go for Baines.

[fari]

we should be able to get one of these two (baines, enrique) in...surely they have some ambition and want to test themselves in the PL. i also like the fact that from what i have seen of them they both look tough and battle-tested. we need to start to integrate that sort of player in the squad.

Baines is way too expensive for us, we don't have a hope in hell of signing him.

Enrique maybe so but he's definitely a downgrade on Clichy.

Enrique is far better than Clichy

[Japan Shaking All Over]

not a downgrade on Clichy

had a good season last year

played well when I saw him which was more than just against Arsenal

I agree Bines would be expensive, one reason being his extra feature that we praise him for - his free kick tking

would take him over Enrique - shit its not my money but if it meant using money, say what we planned to use for anothher quality striker midfielder than this time I would go for the cheaper option - selling Clich to someone should pay for Enrique anyhow I would think and may pay a large part of a Baines transfer

saying that the Baines gossip front has dried up a little

[gunsofashburtongrove]

From what i have seen which is a few matches over the season Enrique looks a better passer than Baines and looks a good wing back. Have not been able to figure how good a defender he is.

[selassie]

Enrique is far better than Clichy

Based on 1 season right?

Clichy has consistently been playing in CL & on the International scene for the past 3 to 4 seasons, admittedly he's gone off the boil the past few seasons but to suggest Enrique is far better than him is laughable.

Enrique only emerged last season, he wasn't even that highly rated in Spain prior to his move to Newcastle.

Clichy has been consistently shit whilst playing in the CL and international level. So much so that when Evra was banned after the World Cup, it wasn't Clichy who took his place.

Jose Enrique has been consistent since he joined Newcastle. Couldn't care less how he did before that in Spain. Remember that's a country where if you aren't a Barca player then you're regarded as shite with the bias they have towards the barcunts but that's another topic for another time.

All we need to know is Enrique is better than Clichy and is a must get

[GP]

I'd rather eat shit. From a cat.

:gp:

[Marc Overmars]

Not seen much of Enrique tbh but as much as I like Clichy, I don't think it would take a great deal to replace him. I don't think full back is a particularly influential role to play, unless you're someone like Alves. Someone defensively adequate is good enough IMO.

I'd prefer to keep Clichy but just like Nasri, if he's not interested then it's time to say goodbye.

[LDG]

Fuxake. Gibbs is better than clichy. And will only get better. Just needs to be taught, and he'll be fine.

Nigel winterburn was awful, but he did what GG told him to do.

Point is, it's about the organisation and coaching of the defence, Clichy hasn't learnt a thing in 6 years. Gibbs is already better position wise.

[Marc Overmars]

Dunno bruv, Gibbs hasn't looked that great IMO, granted his career has been stop-start with injury but I don't understand why he's been elevated to this status of being ready now. Clichy's form over the past few years isn't much of a measuring stick lets be honest if that's what we're using.

I don't think Gibbs has played enough consistently to really show what he can do.

If we lose Clichy we must replace him properly and not just bank on someone from project youth coming good.

[LDG]

Nah, I just think as Gooners we often see greener grass because we fuck up so many times, when in actual fact, pound for pound, we've got just as good already in place.

Clichy, were it not ofr his inability to concentrate. Is as good as evra....easily. But evra is diciplined.

Gibbs tracks players, shows them inside, and is more useful going forward. He doesn't have the same instinct for cutting the ball out as clichy does, but that is all the good clichy does...anticipation.

We don't need new blood who'll likely as not be replaced by more of the same. We need a defensive coach.

If GG could get a spastic lile winterburn to stay in shape, you could get a fluid good footballer in Gibbs to do the same. Nigel was only 22 when he came to the club.

[selassie]

Clichy has been consistently shit whilst playing in the CL and international level. So much so that when Evra was banned after the World Cup, it wasn't Clichy who took his place.

All we need to know is Enrique is better than Clichy and is a must get

No he (Clichy) hasn't. He's gone off the boil over the past 2 seasons.

In regards to International level he's had to contest with Evra & Abidal, both of these players are far superior to Clichy & hold first choice positions for United & Barca.

Enrique has only really been consistent the past season, the season before that he wasn't even guaranteed first choice there.

[selassie]

Fuxake. Gibbs is better than clichy. And will only get better. Just needs to be taught, and he'll be fine.

Nigel winterburn was awful, but he did what GG told him to do.

Point is, it's about the organisation and coaching of the defence, Clichy hasn't learnt a thing in 6 years. Gibbs is already better position wise.

No he's not. Gibbs has potential but if anything has regressed like Clichy this season and pretty much shares the same flaws in his game as Clichy. Where Gibbs excels is in his offensive play and crossing, if anything his positional play is worse than Clichy's. Gibbs is always crocked too, he shouldn't be considered first choice until he sorts out his fitness. He's a project and should be treated like one and not thrown into the team.

Barcelona have made formal contact with Arsenal about Cesc Fabregas. Full story: Sunday Mirror

Arsene Wenger is weighing up the most astonishing transfer swoop of the *summer - for Joey Barton. The Arsenal manager has finally accepted the need to inject some bite and experience into his team of perennial underachievers. Full story: The People

Final nail in the coffin if we get Barton?

[Japan Shaking All Over]

Final nail in the coffin if we get Barton?

would be a full set of nails, the digger used for the hole, the cost of the furneral service and herses, followed by the after service gathering, sandwiches/pineapple&cheese on a stick buffet, and pleasantries said or in the signing of Barton a few choice words

Everton's Marouane Fellaini has insisted that he will move on in search of Champions League football, claiming the club are not at the right level for him.

Fellaini, 23, cost Everton £15 million three years ago and has attracted the attention of Europe's elite with his performances for the Toffees, as Chelsea, Manchester City and Real Madrid have all been linked. An ankle injury ruined his prospects last season, but the Belgium international is adamant that he can do better than his current surroundings.

"One thing is certain, I want to play in a team that wins trophies and play in the Champions League,'' he told Belgian media. ''Everton is a team of sub-top."

The midfielder has a contract which expires in 2013, although talks have broken down over a possible extension. http://soccernet.espn.go.com/news/story/_/id/928946/everton%27s-marouane-fellaini-keen-to-move-on-to-chase-glory?cc=5739

Sign him up Vinger.

Vermaelen should also tap him up.

[Darth Vela]

He'd certainly help the lack of elbows and cuntishness in this team, kind of guy we need.

Whilst I don't like Barton (who does?) it would be pretty funny to see the reaction from everybody, media would have to give their favourite lines about us a rest for a while.

same way as Boateng must be thinking the same about Citeh

Villa to Citeh......Dzeko anyone?

[AKBapologist]

Because Villa probably has no interest in coming here.

But Chelsea or city is more up is street? Doubt we could offer the same wages mind, but we could certainly put him on what he's got at barca.

Anyway great quote from A-M

English players have "grit and determination" because their first red card offense they commit is called a yellow, first yellow is called a foul, and half their fouls are called good determined play. Take away the homeland advantage and the "grit and determination" would disappear. (as seen in europe/internationals)

Why fly all the way up to newcastle to buy Barton when you can buy Tiote who is twice the player?

big, strong, long and leggy with Diaby is too, but can play football which Diaby nine and half matches out of of cant

[Boss]

If we get Fellaini I will change my name to CockFace for the rest of the PL season.

[BOBN]

im up for some barton. 1.5m? bargain. decent little squad addition. he and samba are just the types to see to it that we are never kicked off the park again.

but im not suprised to see fans against it...we do have by far the most self-righteous fans in the world tbph. him being a c*nt is not a good enough reason not to want him, I think nasri is a c*nt but you dont see me going on about it.

[Power n Glory]

The guys a disgrace. He beat up his own team mate. With our team and so many different cultures...I see trouble. I'm sure Joey and Samba will get on like a house on fire if we sign both!

I think you're pretty safe to be honest, would cost too much and there would be some better clubs than us after him anyway.

gervinho looks like one fast strong player, samba is just a beast!

Don't think there's any evidence Barton's a racist (although I'm not ruling it out) so I don't think there's any reason he wouldn't get along with our players. Having said that, I'd prefer someone better tbh. That's not to say he offers more than some of our midfielders, but if we want to win something this season, we need to do better than Barton IMO.

In 1996, he was signed by Leeds United manager Howard Wilkinson for £2.8 million, which was a record for a British teenager.[9] Later the same year, Bowyer was convicted of affray and fined £4,500 following an incident in a McDonald's restaurant in London in which CCTV footage showed chairs being thrown and a staff member of Asian origin was racially abused

What about this scenario...assuming we have about 45million in transfer funds...
Keep Fabregas for one more season (but make a deal with Barca to sell next season - on the condition they give us David Villa this season for 25million - then Cesc will only cost them 25million next season), Keep Nasri on the wing for one more season and move him to the middle when Cesc leaves next season.
Play a 5 man-midfield with Walcott, Cesc, Wilshere, Song, Nasri BUY some reinforcements to go with Ramsey and ....Diaby...who I'll give 1 more season to prove himself... Christian Eriksen 15mil, Cheik Tiote12mil, Florent Malouda 18mil.
Bulk out our current defence. Sell Clichy, Koscielny, Squillacci, Almunia and BUY Cahill, Samba, Begovic(keeper to Challenge Szezney and Fabianski 3rd choice), Van der Wiel (right back competition for Sagna), Baines (Gibbs to compete).
Sell Bendtner 10mil, Arshavin 9mil , Denilson 4mil, Rosicky 2mil, Eboue 4mil, and Buy Eto'o 29mil for good measure. Van Persie, Eto'o and Villa to rotate (Walcott/Chamakh to play as 4th striker if needed). Play 4-4-2 and 4-5-1 so as not to be so predictable.

Or forget Eto'o and spend the 29million on Cahill, Samba, Begovic, Van Der Wiel and Baines - forgot to pay for those guys! Carried away.

Sounds great other than the 18m for Malouda and £12m for Tiote when neither should be worth more than £7m

How did you feel when you woke up though?

Me too! Have to admit that would be a damn good team - better than Barton, Gervinho, and Parker hey?

Like I needed to play Football Manager again.

[Bergkampwonderland10]

Of the 3, he'd be the most acceptable addition

[Bergkampwonderland10]

I really think Begovic is the keeper we need to go after. Would really challenge for the number 1 and Fabianski looks like he'd quite easily be swayed to sit it out on the bench behind Chesney.
Van Der Wiel didn't have the best season - but I still rate him and reckon we could get him relatively cheaply - would be excellent cover for Sagna and we can let Eboue go. Left back am less convinced. Don;t think Everton would really let Baines go.
Cahill and Samba are very realistic targets and hope we get both. If we start the season with a proper defensive line-up I would be more than happy. Wenger needs to be ruthless - he's hanging by a thread.

[GP]

Begovic? The Stoke reserve?

Serious?

[Ironing]

Malouda for 18m?

In your dreams

[Bergkampwonderland10]

Begovic? The Stoke reserve?

Why? Didn't he score highly on your Football Manager game thing?
The guy has shown his quality whenever he's played.

Yeah, ok. Forget the pricings...as a player though, he def add depth to our squad...and inject some pace to our attack again (with the ball).

Bit of a difference between the 2 though seeing as 1 is a convicted criminal with countless other incidents involving violence to his name. Did you know he once stubbed a cigar out in the eye of a youth teamer at Man City?

I acknowledge that Barton is not that bad a player but I would find it difficult to support him if he turned out for us.

He should have been kicked out the game by now to be honest, I'm all for 2nd chances but not 6th,7th and 8th chances.

Plus he's a total scumbag, who doesn't deserve any of the benefits being a professional footballer brings.

Plenty of footballers are c**ts though, just manifested in different ways.

Are Giggs or Rooney any better? Both have treated other people like wankers, doesn't have to involve a scuffle.

[Cripps_orig]

As big a cunts Rooney and Giggs are, neither have done anything to warrant being in jail for. Barton has and if it wasn't for the fact he's a footballer, he'd be rotting away in prison right now but the fuckwit just doesn't learn and keeps doing it. No decent manager should ever go near scum like Barton, Bellamy etc. Rotten to the core and the sooner they are 6 feet under, the world will be a better place

Rooney and Giggd never kicked the shit out of their own team mate. Did a snub a cigar in the eye of one of his own youth players as well?

Assuming we still want him this one could drag on all summer. One thing is clear, we won't be getting him on the cheap.




BLACKBURN star Chris Samba has told the club he wants to join Arsenal.


The 27-year-old defender was linked with a switch to the Emirates Stadium in January but talks between the Gunners and Rovers broke down.
Samba then penned fresh terms at Ewood Park which will tie him to Lancashire until 2015.
But Anuradha Desai — chairperson of Rovers' owners Venkys — admitted Samba iss still keen on a move to north London.
Desai said: "We don't want to let Chris go. I'm confident that we can keep him and I hope he'll stay.
"I know he has an ambition to play for Arsenal but I hope we can keep him for another year at least and prove our own ambition."

I don't think they like us, that seems to be another problem in buying from the Prem, nobody will give us decent deals cos we're a bunch of foreign arseholes that need to be gotten the better of by the native British, witness Hughes blocking the Schwarzer move. Only choice is pay over the odds or walk away, we've been choosing the wrong one for a while now imo but hopefully will be willing to spend a little more and maybe swallow a bit of pride.

Hughes would have been a fool to accept peanuts for his first team goalkeeper. He wouldn't have been able to sign anyone else with the money we put up. No point in doing such deals. If there is no benefit in selling the player, then why go ahead with it?

Has nothing to do with us being foreign either. Tottenham paid silly money for Bent, Villa paid a lot for Bent, Man U have to pay a heft price for Young, did the same for Berbatov. These days you have to weigh up the value of the player with how much he's worth to the club.

Yeah, there are a lot of factors but I think our 'relationship' with other clubs in the Prem is something that often gets overlooked, you really think Shawcross would cost us and Man U the exact same amount (assuming we'd actually try and buy him)? Not saying it's a massive factor but something worth taking into consideration, most people are more willing to do business with those they like and respect rather than those they hate and demean, I get the feeling with most northern chairmen and managers we're more in the second category than the first.

In terms of Hughes, Fulham were willing to sell as they rated Stockdale and we offered a decent price for a guy that close to 40, whether Hughes blocked it purely down to footballing reasons or whether his spats with Wenger had any effect is pretty subjective, you can't prove the way someone thinks but imo his bias informed his decision.

ADEL TAARABT has sensationally claimed he is a top transfer target for Arsenal and Chelsea.

But QPR star Taarabt admits his big-money move is stalling as the London rivals mull over his £10million price tag.
The Moroccan is hot property after his dazzling form helped fire Rangers to promotion to the Premier League.
And he said: "QPR are demanding £10million for me and for now clubs aren't moving too much.
"I've had contact with Arsenal and Chelsea but it's a bit of a mess.
"Arsenal haven't sold Fabregas yet and Chelsea don't have a manager but I'd like to stay in London. It's the best city in the world."

ALAN PARDEW is refusing to give up hope of keeping Spanish full-back Jose Enrique at Newcastle.

Enrique, 25, is yet to respond to a new contract offer as he enters the final year of his existing deal amid speculation that he will quit St James' Park this summer.
Arsenal are the latest club to be linked with Enrique, joining Liverpool in the hunt for a player who was one of the Magpies' most dependable performers last season.
But boss Pardew is desperate to hold on to him with Kevin Nolan having quit for West Ham and Joey Barton's future uncertain.
He said: "I'm still hopeful that Enrique — who was a big, big, big, big player for us last year — stays at the club and we can entice him to stay.
"We are not confident we can keep him, but we are not scared of losing him. It's somewhere in between, really.
"When you have only got a year left on a player of his ability, of course you are vulnerable, and I think it's nervous times for us."
