Flog Nasri + Clichy to them for around 40M, sell Fabregas for 40M and drop all of that on Neymar and Sanchez pls.
If dreams came true :pray:

Come on guys.
There are plenty of reasons to critisise Wenger and god knows he deserves it but lets not make stuff up to critisise him.
Theres no credible source who has said this other than some 14 year old kid on Twitter
But past experience suggests that we are overly stingy, so there's every chance that Cahill's wage demands are reasonable, but we're just trying to save a few bob, despite this putting the whole deal at risk.Quote:

Aside from the infamous 5,000, what other documented cases do we have?Quote:

L'Équipe are reporting that talks between Lille and AFC over Gervinho have stalled again, with the fee said to be the sticking point.
The most I can recall Campbell getting was reportedly 100,000 a week, and that was in part because he came on a free with no signing bonus. Can you document the 140,000 a week. Besides Campbell was an established England international with around 40 appearances by the time he joined Arsenal. Cahill has played just 3 times and is already 25.Quote:

not if kicking the football can result in leg-break/serious injury that could 'paralyze' one for the rest of one's life.Quote:

We are still one of the most richest football clubs in the world, with healthy turnovers recorded every year. The fact that City and Chelsea have distorted the market doesn't mean we are unable to afford top quality players. The board tries to lay the blame on the door of sugar daddies, and while they have had a negative effect on the sport, the reason why we've not made the necessary signings recently is because we have a manager who has placed far too much trust in low quality young players, and a board who are content to see their share values rise up through commercial and property deals, unwilling to put any pressure on the manager to rectify the weaknesses in the squad because they only care about their bank balances.Quote:

You've mistaken player sales and one off property developments as evidence that were rich.Quote:

Clichy v Enrique Tackles 111-61, Duels won 58%-50%, Aerial Duels won 51%-32%, Blocks 8-9 Clearances 150-61, Interceptions 105-58
Whelp.
No surprise that Ach wanted him :lol:.Quote:

Wouldn't be surprised if we finally sign this pile of garbage.
Pile of garbage :lol:Quote:

That also shows how Clichy is targeted by the opposition, because of how exposed he is in our set-up. It means he's more involved in duels. Expect those stats to go down but his performances to be frequented with fewer brain farts in the Citeh defence.Quote:

Nasri to Citeh for £20m+ according to SSN, who insist they 'understand' the situation seven times in the past minute. For such a fee, we've done well from a horrific situation.
Clichy off there too according to 'Sky sources'.
twitter going mental with nasri to city for 20 mil. I hate that I am addicted to twitter. and arsenal.
Breaking from SSN
Nasri very close to joining city for 20mill. He'll be on £180k a week.
Arsenal... City's feeder club.
:haha:
If we lose Nasri, Cesc and Clichy this summer, and keep Denilson, bendy and Almongia, I will pop
Edit, both Clichy and Nasri for a combined £30 mill.
Almost enough for someone decent.
Arsenal the greatest club the world has ever seen ;(
So who at the club is ready to take Nasris place?
Arshavin back as first teamer?
We sure as hell wont be buying anyone
:haha: :haha:
If Cesc and Nasri go we shouldn't shed any tears for either of them tbh. Cesc has contributed to our stagnation with poor performances at important times over the last 2-3 seasons. As far as Nasri goes, he only ever performed for 3 months, and behaved like a big time Charlie by demanding a super new contract despite disappearing in the second half of last season.
It does say something though about the disillusionment that players at the club feel about Wenger's "project". Not being able to convince either Cesc or Nasri to stay shows that both players no longer have any faith in the manager, and what's to say the other players at the club (RVP, Sagna, Vermaelen, Walcott etc) have any more belief in his methods?
I'm not sad to see these two fairweather footballers leave, but finding top quality replacements is a MUST. Unfortunately I don't have much faith in Wenger's dealings in the transfer market anymore.
Better City than United, he would be a massive player for united but just another money whore lesbian looking douche at City
20 million for someone who produced 4 months of magic, good business
but only if we re-invest properly.....:lol:
@Spooky23 Good news for Arsenal if they sell him for £20M. Add £35M from selling Cesc to Barca, and Wenger will have at least £2M to spend on players.
Would be funny if it wasn't true. ;(
So will Clichy and Nasri be booed?
Dont really care if either goes.
Can City take Wenger as well? :pray:
They're not important enough to boo tbh.Quote:
