Nah, he's off to pool apparently.
Bilbao have sold Javi Martinez to Bayern apparently, for 30m.
The sort of price we'd be looking at if we did go in for Llorente.
Was Martinez in the lat year of his contract?
Don't think so, Bayern have paid his release clause.
So Llorente will probably go for closer to half of that amount. Think he'll go to Juve anyway.
I actually think well be looking to add in other areas now.
My best guess would be:
RVP out and Sahin in.
Song out and MVila in.
And maybe a small punt on Dempsey.
I'm going all out muppet now.
Come on Falcao. :bow:
Messi :bow:
If we rely on Giroud and Podolski for the whole season, there is an exceptional probability it will end in disaster.
Not buying a midfielder to replace Song would be as well of course negligent as well you know.
I almost forgot we had Chamakh and Frimpong.
I'll sell all my monitors for his 200 million euros buy out clause.Quote:

given that wenger has told song he can and sold rvp. i bet there are more to come in, there is no way he would get rid without some replacements in mind.
also if you believe he has replaced them as he said today, then you are an idiot. why the fuck would he tell the world he is looking for a striker and watch them ramp up the price
We are going to rely on Giroud and Podolski for the whole season, it'll be classic Wenger WUMming.Quote:

We won't be signing a striker. A midfielder probably but that's it.
Podolski and Giroud are the main guys now.

So I believe what Wenger said tonight is probably his true feelings because he has no reason to lie.Quote:

Sir Jack as Scholes replacement next summer?

Those two will be there when they're 100.
That's next season I think.
Well the countdown to Vermaelen's departure started tonight, maybe Fergie fancies replacing Rio next year.
Cavani and Hulk are coming in. Tiote is coming to replace Song. I'm also going to go home to a bed with 3 blonde stunners each with a pint of beer for me.
As long as Koscielny doesn't get the armband, it's ok.
i dont think united know they can get our players because rvp was a very different case. he forced the move with that statement, in releasing it it made sure he had to be sold and had to be gone this season. though the club made sure they got a lot of money for him, he was in last year of contract so 24million or nothing, there was only going to be one winner. given previous experiences with players kept against their wills, ade and cesc, who didnt perform and didnt want to be there, we had to sell. plus united will spend 69million on this deal with wages and fees etc, they cant do that every year. this is a one of case and one that ultimately we will win
Not sure if all those outcomes are particularly desirable.Quote:

Of course they know they can buy from us. Hell, they even did it last year with Nasri. Unsuccessfully of course but there's no doubt we would have sold to them had they paid up before City.Quote:

That would be preferable to buying Tiote.Quote:

Really? I rate Tiote, maybe not that highly but he would be an improvement over Song IMO.Quote:

Tiote. :lol:
What a clogger.
Defensively he's better, but he doesn't offer much else.Quote:

juventus have signed llorente for 27 million accorinding to @youngunsblog
sack wenger, blow up the emirates etc etc
Oh god. :(
Chamakh is RVPs replacement
