I fear it might be one of Chelseas cast offs. Drogba or Sturrage...

Won't be Drogba, wage demands way too high. I'd take Sturridge in a heartbeat, think the kid has huge potential, he's just as good as Wellbeck at United and look at the season he is having, in fact Wellbeck & Sturridge were both very good last season.

Barton signs a 4 year deal with QPR.

They're also wrapping up deals for Luke Young and SWP soon apparently. :lol:

This is from the 2nd richest club in the Premiership :rose:

its part of the chase and no-one is saying that this is the final bid........I know you are thinking that we are risking losing the chance of signing because we offend but Barca did the same twice and still ended up with Cesc

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

Plus Wenger said that we did not offer just 6M. Now if I am asked if I should support the Arsenal manager or the Bolton manager, I support the former.

Moreover, the Hill-Wood family are originally from Glossop and were involved with the local club and jumped ship when they saw they could make more money out of a London football club. As we all know, the Hill-Wood family have since been involved with the club for generations.

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.

I didn't know about Fizzman putting 50m of his own money in, kudos to him on that but it doesn't quite match the 3/4 of a billion that Abramovich plowed into Chelsea and Citeh are getting rapidly closer to that mark.

I don't think it's worth going back to the 20s to try and prove something that we already know: we ain't perfect but then, neither am I and I wouldn't put myself in the same league as Pol Pot either, there's a very large middle ground there.

Elias and Hazard are apperently on there way for medicals

Balls, we've gone from having to play against Barton once more to another two 'visits', bad news.

£50m which he very likely earned back over time, as a shareholder should. 'Put £50m in'...was that a loan with interest? etc. The rest of that is neither here nor there. I didn't suggest Arsenal is whiter than white in everything they do. I did suggest that Arsenal is a 'normal' club and is unlike a billionaire's plaything where hundreds of £millions are sunk in for years to buy success. Nothing you say changes that in any way.

Elias is realistic...Hazard I very much doubt, we'd have to double our transfer record to secure him, not going to happen. Anyway, where did you hear about this?
