I agree re: Cahill, I think Jags is/was our first choice but Arsene & Everton won't budge on valuations so we've probably walked away. I think we could probably land Cahill for circa 10mill with a few add-ons thrown in. Bolton won't be getting anywhere near to thr 16mill they want for him, he's not in demand. Having said that I like Cahill, think he'd improve our defence.
Striker will probs be somebody from Ligue One, probably a young-ish project who is happy to learn and sit on the bench.
Stop with this stupid fucking accusation about me being a City fan.Quote:

I fear it might be one of Chelseas cast offs. Drogba or Sturrage...
Off the top of my head i cant think of anyone they have signed that is decent, in fact i cant really think of anyone they have signed bar adesawhore who will do more damage with his ego to them then he will do on hte pitch against othersQuote:

things arent much different here.......we aint Citeh and start the ante with crazy money.......Wenger knows he needs players in other positions and is trying for a low price......I wont be surprised if he picks him up for 10 plus ?......for me that would be very shrewd business
Yep, there's no way we're getting Sturridge for anything under 20m though, when he ripped it up for us Chelsea would look like absolute mugs. I think he might be worth it though, proven Prem experience and the kind of guy we need.Quote:

Let's not forget our former chairman Herbert Norris banned for life in 1927 for financial irregularities, and the controversy over our promotion to the top division amidst allegations that he bribed officials.
We're not whiter than white, and neither is any football club that's owned privately. I just don't think it's right for us to get on our high horses given our own checkered history.
