This looks like another summer of f*ckups by Mr Wenger and co.
Wislshire like a new signing
Diaby like a new signing
Buying Higuian will kill Giroud
Buying Fellani would tear apart the time continume.
You heard it hear first.......another royale summer of fcuk up by Wenger and Gadizis aka the ****.
Have we signed Rooney yet?
This has to be one of their biggest WUMs yet, Rooney! Guess they are saving Messi up for 2014.
GW legend Grant Holt on his way to Wigan.

What the fuck, just give the £30m for Higuain or Rooney you dickheads.

The conspiracy theory might suggest Arsenal made their move to nudge Real Madrid, who have been focusing on Suárez, into completing negotiations with the London club for Gonzalo Higuaín.
£30m :haha:
Call me a cynic but the £30m offer to me seems like a plause to appease the fans when its becomes clear that we wont sign any more players this summers.
Wenger and Co. will come out with "we made big offers" etc knowing full well that Liverpool were never going to sell Suaraz for £30m, let alone to Arsenal.
if that is the case, and the media know, and we know it, surely madrid know it to so it loses affect. they'd also know £30m for suarez couldn't be serious bid as they know the market rate and may well have sounded out suarez agent for valuations already.
i don't get this story. much like the ancelotti signing off bollocks it proved to be.
Us?
£30 mil?
:haha:
Trabelsi bendtner swap deal mooted
That Suarez bid seems to have angered the guys at Red and White kop :lol:
Considering we are still being linked with every man and his dog, I'm going to maintain my belief that, whilst there is no smoke without fire, our fire burns very cheaply and haggling over comparatively little amounts, despite all the faux bravado from Gazidis, will see another disappointing transfer summer.
Time for Suarez to come home.
*SIGHS*
So the Suarez bid pretty much confirms that we do not want to pay Madrid what they want for Higuain/they won't accept a penny less than their valuation of him. Seems a bit childish from both sides but we are where we are.
Aside from Higuain, I really don't see any other viable options, We are not going to sign Rooney or Suarez so who else is available?
I'll say one thing, our need for a top class Centre forward is very big and we shouldn't forget that, if we are what 4 or 5 million apart in our bid/Real's valuation for Higuain should we not just bite the bullet, pay the fee and move on to strenghtening other areas of the team?
Yeah I am kind of leaning towards that too. I geniunely think we are prepared to spend big but as usual it has to fit into our "flawed" approach of paying what we believe is the "right price", which more often than not tends to be quite a bit below the current "market price".
A lot of these big money offers we have put in tend to be "take it or leave it" type offers, in the sense that we put in an offer and then appear to walk away if the offer is rejected. This trend has been present for a few years now.
Come September when Sanongo is our only signing, Arsene and Ivan will come out with their customary "we put in big money offers for players but the price is too high"
What a load of shit (the suarez story)
Must be the heat.
this is also a terrible buying approach when you are not backed to the hilt with endless pots of cash.
ivan tells the world we have loads of money, the sky is the limit; perez tells his team to keep the price high and rinse arsenal for all the money they can.
seeing as higo has contract until 2016, madrid don't have to sell.
If we have actually bid for Suarez then it makes no sense at all. He's an excellent player but is he that effective in a 4-5-1 formation? I'm not so sure. Pretty sure he played on the wing when they bought Sturridge. No point spending £30m on anything other than an out and out striker.
He's also nuts and despised and on an 8 game ban for biting (doesn't bother me that much but should reduce the price) he also said he wants to leave England, which I can understand, so why would he want to come to us??
anyone think we were behind the 30 million euro bid for stephen el shaarawy bid?
First of all the chances of any of the stuff in the media being true is very low. Whether it's world news, sport even the weather the media almost invariably hypes it, leaves out half the story or gets it completely wrong. And then they just make up shit. The media is the very worst place to go if you want information on which to base an opinion or try to figure out what's happening.
Then there's greed. The transfer window circus has five primary parties. The greedy player. The greedy selling club. The suddenly frugal buying club (city and the chavs excluded because they are comedy teams). The unimaginably greedy and corrupt agent and the hidden parties who have to endorse everything (a euphemism for taking bungs I expect). Aligning all these interests must be difficult at the best of times but if you have four sharks and a lamb at the table it's going to be twice as hard. I can't help getting this impression of our crack negotiating team all dressed in sheep costumes. Our shark, DD, is long gone.
Then there's the philosophy of the club. If you aren't really in it for the football and instead need everything to balance up nicely on paper I guess it's a lot easier to leave it if the numbers don't add up.
If there's any truth at all about Madrid upping the demands I guess they are the villains, greedy bastards who are trying to pile a little more greed on top. Super greedy bastards meets the world's ultimate miser, it's going to be tough to get a deal.
I'd take Rooney. Not sure if Suarez is worth the hassle though. A lot of baggage. Damaged goods. A lost cause. But he's sooooo dreamy. Maybe we can change him?
Here we go. 3 pages of tedious bullshit about two players we haven't got a chance in hell of signing.
At least it's sunny out.
Lucky, because if it wasn't, it would probably be raining.
No bid for Suarez.
