Yup fantastic player, we won't get him of course as other top clubs will be interested and I don't see why he'd sign for us when bigger more ambitious club are after him.Quote:

Every time someone mentions Diaby in future can it be remembered that the guys on £60K plus a week? :lol:Quote:

Do you have any evidence that Diaby's on that much?
I heard it was 98k.
Yup - Arsene gets me to go in and sign Diaby's cheque every week because I have neat handwriting.Quote:

Arsenal will go head-to-head with their transfer nemesis Barcelona for the latest striking sensation to emerge in Spain.
Valencia’s 18-year-old forward Francisco ‘Paco’ Alcacer is on both clubs’ radar after hitting a hat-trick for Valencia’s second-string against Lleida Esportiu in their Segunda B clash last month.
The teenage prospect has been on the periphery of the first team since making his debut for the reserves two seasons ago, as a 16-year-old, and he has already amassed 54 appearances in the Spanish second-tier where he has scored 33 goals.
Arsenal and Barca have a fraught relationship when it comes to transfer dealings as the Catalan club believe Arsene Wenger poached Cesc Fabregas eight years ago and Pep Guardiola was unimpressed when Arsenal bought Hector Bellerin and Jon Toral to north London in similar deals earlier this year.
Alcacer helped Spain’s Under-19’s side to glory in this year’s European Championship and is under contract until 2013 and is believed to have rejected attempts by Valencia to extend his deal.
The youngster is believed to be available for around £9m.
Can see this happening.
Barca will tell him to go to us for a few years, get better and then pine and moan for a return to Spain and they'll get him on the cheap.
£9m from Valencia for a reserve striker is a bit much but we paid £12m for a League one Pub Teamer whos even worse
Yup, I can see this transfer going through as well. Of course this 9 mill wont be used for an established name because it will kill youngsters! :lol:Quote:

No doubt Spurs will be back in there as well.

Triffic lad.
The Chairman will try his best.

9 million for a reserve do me a favour, that's crazy money :lol:Quote:

Tbf I'd rather have Benny Hill than Diaby
It's funny cos he's dead.Quote:

Good job we don't have their problems. ;)Quote:
Inter Milan have sacked coach Gian Piero Gasperini after just five matches and three months in charge.
The ex-Genoa boss, 53, lost four games, taking just a point from Roma, and his side sit 17th in Italy's Serie A.
His last match was a disastrous 3-1 defeat on Tuesday by Novara, who were only promoted last season.
Barton reckons he was close to joining us.
http://news.bbc.co.uk/sport1/hi/football/15008071.stm
Gervinho. :bow:
Best thing he'll ever do for us.
I would have been happy to sign him personally. Might be a muppet but he's closer to Animal than Kermet.
lol. It's funny cos he's deluded.Quote:

Did anyone see Hargreaves today? That guy was seriously good and this without having played for close to 2 years. As I had said in this thread:
http://z13.invisionfree.com/goonersw...pic=47600&st=0
We shouldve signed him on a pay as you play deal.. what was there to lose? If this guy even plays 20 games for us, he is bound to win us a few games.. AW missed out on some seriously good cheap business this season: Scott Parker, Bellamy, Barton, Hargreaves. These guys wouldve been a serious upgrade to the dross we have in our team now.
AW :rose:
Parker was one we missed out on, I must admit my interest in him waned when we were being served
with lavish stories of MVila and the like. . . .only to be let down like my little soldier sometimes lets me down after a night of tabs and beer!
Parker would have played his heart out of every game (swear he has a bit of Jap in him) and I can see him playing his way into the England Euro squad
Bellemy has an engine but would not know where he would gave fit in with our bullshit 1 striker formationDidnt really pass judgment on Hargreaves but fuck he would have been better on one leg than some of our excuses for players, could have played him at CB
and that leaves little Joey. . .the Newcastle game pit me straight but in hindsight I suppose the only way to stop him winding us up would be to have signed him
Parker was a disastrous miss of the same magnitude as us failing to pick up Alonso. Wenger has made such awful, awful decisions in the transfer market.
We've got Coqulin and Frimpong. Wenger was never going to sign a new central mid player.
all becasue he scored against a championship club? jesus fucking christQuote:

It is not a great time to be an Arsenal, but here’s a humorous little straw for downtrodden Gooners to cling to. The club has signed the son of the man who spearheaded part one of the campaign to bring Cesc Fabregas back to Barcelona.
Guim Laporta, son of ex-Barca president Joan, is now playing for Arsenal’s youth team after moving from Barcelona’s Infantil A side.
Laporta Senior was the man who lodged the Catalan giants’ first bids for Cesc back in the summer of 2010. And he was still stirring things up earlier this year.
He was quoted as saying: “The English come here to go ‘fishing’. They came to fish for Gerard Pique and they came to fish for Cesc Fabregas. It is an issue of justice that we (Barca) now want to recover them.
“I would have liked it if Cesc came to Barca in the way that Pique came. He abandoned Manchester United, making it clear he was going to Barca. They were players who were formed here.”
Alas, Guim’s move to the Gunners was nothing to do with English ‘fishing’. His mum has moved to London and the youngster has decided to switch clubs to stay with her.
The 14-year-old is younger than Fabregas was when he moved to England. Arsenal will be hoping to make another nice return on another hotly-tipped youngster.

No
Cos hes a quality player before his injury and now hes fit, hes back to being a quality player.
He was on a free as well and hes better than any of our DMs.
Great. Another kid with DNA.Quote:
