The same gossip site now has a story saying lots of European outlets are saying the deal is close to being announced. Proves no one knows a thingQuote:

Yes he has. Before season ended, he confirmed he wanted to leaveQuote:

Well that's possible and yes, we've been here so many times before that scepticism is understandable.Quote:

look, the club president, who has always run the show at madrid supposedly arranges a transfer fee and allows the player to sort personal terms.
then we are supposed to believe ancelotti, who is used to be being subservient to club owners, comes in and stops it all because he doesn't want it to happen.
the truth is this is now just a built in method for the media to continue to drag out a story that may not even exist.
agents talk shit for their benefit, or to create something out of nothing. like the media.
Yep, this will probably have little to do with the clubs and the player any more, it'll be about greedy maggots who want as big a skim as possible. I guess lots of deals get delayed while the vermin agents try and lure the likes of city or the chavs. Doubtful the media has any real inside track on what's happening, they just get used by the leeches - and are pleased to get used because it means they can waste even more ink and pretend to call it news.Quote:

Horrible sport (apart from the football bit which is secondary anyway), horrible people. We'll just have to wait until all their palms have been greased. Then the fans will get the real story.
I just want to put it out there that I really couldn't give a fuck.
Itching to adorn the Higuain shirt - will be my 1st purchase for some time.
Come on Arsenal, sort it out already.

Mannone will have a medical on Friday afternoon before completing on a move to Sunderland.
Mannone joined Arsenal from Atalanata in 2005 and has since had loan spells at Barnsley and twice at Hull City. He has 12 months left on his Arsenal contract.
So one out....yeah I know nobody in, we're little bit recession period :rolleyes: ;)
So far the club is quids-in this window then? Which is okay considering plenty of dross has to be shifted. But let's hope they aren't using the Higuain saga to drag everyone to the window close and then claim they tried their best but (for reasons beyond their control) couldn't prevent a fat profit being made again.
More than one out isn't it? Could somebody please confirm Bendtner has gone? This is our biggest deal of the window, we better not fuck it up. Arshavin has gone too, so that's £80K pw off the books. Dennis "best in the World" Bendtner is £52K pw (LOL), around £7mill. Do these guys get paid for 52 weeks or just during the season? Is the "pw" thing their annual deal spread over 52 weeks (I presume they get paid monthly?)Quote:

or more likely because they want the highest figure for the shortest amount of time to 'shock' us into outrage.
Chamakh, Park, Gay Lion, Gervhino & Park out next please ...another £300k p/w off the books, easy.
If this happens, then it will definitely be one of our best transfer windows in recent memory.
Stan ain't thick, he just has a thick porn moustache is all. He put his foot down and was never going to pay for redundant resources with no return on investment. Wenget's transfer mistakes, plenty of late tbh, were now costing money and none of these were contributing to the team. They were essentially being paid to sit on the bench, reserves, go on loan or in Park's case unknown ...last seen on the border, trying to flog fake arsenal shirts to starving North Koreans
I'll be very happy with this window if all these outs are completed, we've been paying a whole team to do nothing. We missed a trick here, half of GW could have played for Arsenal based on Wenget's recent transfer policy.
It's probably because the monthly or annual totals would waste too much ink.Quote:

Doubt he'd be a legend, more a prelude to a bigger signing.

Fair enough.
Any chance Martinez can do a Wenger and go to his board and ask to lower the asking price for the god of the player?Quote:

Barcelona attacker Gerard Deulofeu, 19, is a loan target for a number of English clubs which include Arsenal, Tottenham, Chelsea, Liverpool and Everton. Brighton's new manager Oscar Garcia is also keen, though Arsenal are regarded as favourites.

£100K a week? £150K within a year of signing on no doubt. He's a decent player, nothing more. Certainly not world class but a decent PL slugger. Plenty more where he came from. Don't pay him, find someone else.Quote:
