They could set a buyout clause of one billion dollars :DrEvil:
Doesn't mean he's worth that.
We had a player who wanted to go and who would only go to one club. If we'd been able to spark a bidding war we'd have got more but we couldn't.
We could have kept him but next year we'd have gone through all this again with one year less on his contract and a weaker position.
We did OK.
Spanish buyout clauses always are way overvalued, mainly for the papers tbh.
We only did 'OK' out of this if we reinvest, otherwise we'll struggle.
That. The lack of creativity was worrying on Saturday. Wilshere can give us some of that but with Cesc going we need more.Quote:

If Nasri goes too then to have done well out of this we'll need to be spending £50mill in the next couple of weeks. Dream on. We git arse-raped, no point trying to put a brave face on it just take the shafting for what it is, the fans and the club being fucked over again by greedy, incompetent cunts in the boardroom. This Jadson bloke for £12mill (provided we don't bid £10) and some second tier bloke called Dann for £6mill. Great business if you're an Arsenal director but will make fuck all difference on the pitch.
Cunt press conference soon. Would love to hear the BS he spouts about Arsenal and the fans. Heard it all before with Henry. Will the cunt be truthful and tell the world he didn't give a fuck about Arsenal and the fans or will he be a coward and say he loves us blah blah blah?Hope Wenger is watching the unveiling and it hurts the twat. Cesc was the poster boy of Project Youth and with his departure, its been confirmed as a failure. All Wenger can do now is spend the money on world class players and leave a good squad for th next manager. Do that and Wenger might leave with a little respect. His legacy has already been destroyed
Like Jadson and Dann.Quote:

You have to laugh at the people who said we got fucked over big time.
Much better than Mata and Cahill, mainly because they are much cheaper which is all that counts. Another very profitable transfer window.Quote:

We should be laughing all the way to the bank.
Final deal was £25mill and buyout clause is £175mill. As people say, the buyout clause doesn't indicate anything at all. Most players have a £175mill buyout clause - except Fabregas when he left us of course.
