Yes.
I doubt we'll sign him anyway....we'll probably spend the next few months haggling over loose change with Birmingham over this transfer.
I don't think we'll sign a PL based CB this summer, we'll probably get a cheap buy from Ligue One or somewhere like that come the end of the window.
Dann:lol:
Hope this is nonsense not convinced this guy is good enough.
Caught Offside is always nonsense.
I used to write for them ffs.
:lol:
Sooooo bored of the same shit every day.
I'm already in season start mode. Not expecting anything else now.
They're probably getting him with Drogba and Anelka in mind, they need to be replaced eventually. Makes sense for this kid to be an understudy.
Because the media are lazy and bang out the same quotes like a mantra each time. All the 'we don't like teams getting in our faces' comments, for instance. True, but other teams don't like that either. We got a lot of 'in the face' stuff a few seasons back and suffered. We got press about it. Then the lower teams got in the other 'big 4' teams faces in following seasons - last year especially - and they didn't like it either. But the lazy press only mention us because it is an easy headline. And they will keep doing it until we win a trophy or two. Same with the transfer policy. Barca have done the transfer shit for years and the press lap it up. We will be changing on what we buy this year - I am pretty sure that Gazidis/Wenger are doing stuff behind the scenes - but the press will churn out the same shit to the end of the transfer window.

Valencia have inicated they could now be willing to accept an offer for Juan Mata after previously insisting he is not for sale.
Mata has been linked with a move to Arsenal since starring in the European Under-21 Championships, after previously being linked with Liverpool, but talk of a Premier League switch was quashed by his current club ten days ago with president Manuel Llorente explicitly claiming "Juan Mata is not for sale".
However, the La Liga club, who cashed in on David Villa and David Silva last summer, now appear willing to cash in should the right offer come for Mata.
"The possibility exists that Mata will leave the club," Valencia manager Unai Emery told Marca. "We want him to stay and Mata has also expressed his desire to stay at Valencia, but at the same time we cannot stop a player who really wants to leave for money or for a bigger club.
"So, if there is a large financial offer from any club, that is good for both us and him, we will have to let him leave."
Tottenham are also believed to be interested in the winger, but Arsenal's potential to offer Champions League football next season is understood to put the Gunners as frontrunners for Mata's signature. Liverpool's move for Stewart Downing also suggests their interest will have waned.
Time for Wenger to MTFU and sign him.
