Well, this is at least as disrespectful to Bolton IMO. Are we really telling Cahill he's worth less than Squillaci? We should practice what we preach, otherwise the manager and the board come across as odious hypocrites.
It was only a nothing story in the Mirror bruv.
Life lesson: question everything.Quote:

We don't know if wenger has offered 6m.Quote:

Owen Coyle has confirmed it.
:lol:
Fair enough.
Wenger the WUM. :bow:
From the Guardian:
http://www.guardian.co.uk/football/b...blog-26-august
10.09am: Owen Coyle has confirmed that Arsenal did indeed make a bid for Gary Cahill but Bolton rejected it on the grounds that it was "way below our valuation" of the player.
We have such a large transfer surplus at the moment, will paying slightly over the odds for Cahill really matter, given what he can offer us as a defender? This is Wenger becoming ideologically obsessed with not offering above "market value" for a player, even when his idea of market value doesn't correspond to Bolton's idea.
The 6m story is true?!
Even when loaded with cash we still penny pinch. We must be absolute cunts to deal with.
Aye. Really can't believe it tbh. I really believe Cahill and Vermaelen would make a very good partnership, and if we miss him due to Wenger's intransigence, then that would be seriously disappointing.Quote:

By offering such a poor opening bid, we've probably pissed them off and made them more reticent to deal with us tbh. If we had offered something reasonable, like £12M + addons, they would have rejected it but would have seen we were being serious and that would open the door to negotiations.Quote:

Could just be a typo on the fax. Someone is probably getting a bollocking right now!
"Je ne le crois pas, je n'ai pas vu cette erreur typographique. Six millions de livres il devrait dire seize vous sot anglais."
Nah, he would have meant 5 million, not 6, or 16Quote:

£100m to spend! and we'll spend ziltch!
Maybe we offered £16m and the add on was Chamakh
That is a fucking piss take even for us tbh.
We aslo dont have time to fuck about negotiating, shouldve done that at the start of june ffs.
There are only 6 days left, wenger get your shit together and do some business.
If the figure is actually true then taking in to consideration the premium you pay for English players, really we bid around about £1 probably. :bow:
No, its us taking the piss out of Bolton.Quote:

They cannot afford to let him leave for free, so they have to sell him this week.
I'd say they're in a weaker position than us.
Besides, £6m + add-ons is probably about £10m, which for a defender with a year left on his contract probably isn't a million miles away.
Bid their asking price and get him in the team for our next game ffs.
Not rocket science.
