Don't think they'll accept a £5 million bid for Sakho to be honest.Quote:

Diame from West Ham would be an excellent option if Wenger is still hand wringing about spending money

If Wenger wants to save Money maybe he should be doing more of this, bringing in players for the next season before the close season so that the buying is over before the hustle and bustle of the transfer window.
We only did that because we knew we were going to sell RVP, but yeah I agree.
If we'd done all of our business early in the transfer window prices would have been lower and we would have had a much bigger choice, we've dithered and no left ourselves with nowhere to go, a lot of the top players have either moved or won't be sold now, clubs will be reluctant to sell their better players now as well, unless they get huge money for them.
Wenger has kept saying the transfer window is open till September, it is but what a plank he is, I question his common sense sometimes for a supposedly clever guy he doesn't seem to have an ounce of it.
Wenger has got us in one almighty mess this summer with his dithering & haggling. we're in a situation now where we are going to need to massively overpay to even add squad type players. Whether we like it or not clubs are not going to bow down to wenger & sell him their players at prices he dictates!
Edited to add: Oops, just saw your post Zim!!
Sounds like Spurs are going to sign Willian.
£25m+ I'd have thought...
That'd take their spending up to around £80-85 million. Funny that.Quote:

Clubs know we're desperate.Quote:

Just had my truth serum.
You offer 10mill for Cabaye in early July and you might get him. That's why we're bidding now, that's why it was so important to string the Suarez deal. The latter also got us out of the Higuain deal - that was bloody narrow escape I can tell you. If the prices start to look ridiculous now (because let's face it they *are* ridiculous) then there will be enough fans who will agree with us - we can string those fuckers for at least another 2 seasons until pay day. The goal this year has been to cut the wage bill. We have done it. All the rest is a circus.
But now key injuries have come at the worst possible time, just a few miserable days before that damnable window slams shut. If it weren't for those pesky kids getting injured we would have got away with it. So now Flamini has to come in. He won't play for free (we asked) but fuck it, we still cleared £10mill in transfers and maybe £15-£20mill on wages. Not a bad summer at all. Champagne anyone?
BBC also saying they're set to complete a move for Erik Lamela as well.
You guys are also linked.
:rose:
Pardew fuming again after Wenger puts in a bid for his missus. And he was all set to get some last night before she cried off with a headache. In other news, Scots and Jews suing Wenger for trademark violations.
supposedly they have agreed lamella and willian. Also agreed is bale to go for 93m and they can buy coentreo for 15m. this is erm, from a mate that has a mate that works in the spurs finance dept. says willian is having medical.Quote:

I would say that itis complete mismanagement to not have your top choices nailed down by the start of the season.....the remainder of August could be made upof nabbing a couple of squad fillers......everyone knows we are fucked and will drive a hard bargain before we can get anyone. Cabaye would not have been on the radar if we hadnt fucked up the way we have, nor would DiameQuote:

Former Arsenal captain Tony Adams says the day Arsene Wenger leaves the club is 'not far away'.
Wenger has been in charge of the Gunners since September 1996 but has gone eight years without winning a trophy, while Arsenal opened the new season with a 3-1 home defeat to Aston Villa on Saturday.
"To keep hitting the top four and qualifying for the Champions League is great, and Arsene has done such a great job," Adams, who wants to succeed Wenger as manager, told Zapsportz.com.
"But there is going to come a day, and that won't be far away, when Arsene leaves. One hundred per cent I'd like to be Arsenal manager. Of course my heart says 'yes, yes, yes', but my head says 'can I win with this current team?' My answer is no, I can't and I am not sure anyone can.

From one mentally ill manager to another
Sky Italia is reporting that Tottenham and Real Madrid have agreed a £93m deal
for Gareth Bale.
---------------------------
I am Jack's complete lack of surprise!
Apparently we're in for Casillas.
:lol: No chance of getting Casillas, if we'd wanted him we should have tried last January when he wasn't playing, Ancelotti has made him number 1 again.
Jokers!
Casillas will never go to Madrid.
£2,000,001 bid to test the waters?Quote:

But Lamela is the next big thing. £30m Lamela, £30m Willian, still leaves £30m from the Bale deal
Hate to say it but spurs have done excellent business in the market this summer.
We would be so much better off with the signings they have made right now.
It's fucking sickening really
Well no because they've spent more than £30m already before these potential £60m signings.Quote:

If spuds can sell Bale for 93 mil and get Paulino, Soldado, Willian, Lamela and Ceontrao for about the same amount combined that's some seriously good business.
I would also fear for our top 4 spot more than ever before.
its just makes us look even more shameful.
So the world renowned manager that is Tony Adams only really fancies the Arsenal job if he can take over a great squad.Quote:

Laudrup for me, with Bouldy as his number 2.
If Spurs sign Lamela and William and somehow manage to keep Bale (I've got a feeling RM won't go as high as Levy wants) ....... well I guess we can kiss goodbye to the top four already. Not even Spurs would be able to fuck that up.
They can't keep Bale, they've already spent the money.Quote:

This summer we had no stars to sell so they did the only thing they could to weaken the squad - get rid of a load of players who, while being mostly 2nd choice, do at least add something when the injuries pile up. Now we don't have that and Spurs have spent well all summer.Quote:

If they somehow get the quoted 93 million for chimpboy Levy has committed daylight robbery. Doesn't Perez know that RM is the only club that he'll go to and so he and not Levy should be able to dictate the price for him?
