He's not coming.
Spurs might have him.
hes a world class player who would massively improve us but there is also one other reason for signing him. The "man city reason", signing him so no one else can have him.
I think we need another central midfielder personally, Ramsey and Wheelchair are both prone to long spells out and its not like we can rely on Diaby
I would little bit sign Rakitic tbf.
Can I countenance us signing Cesc merely so other teams don't get him? Yeah probably.
Chavs can't afford his salary demands...City it is /thread
It's really something when you manage to be a bigger comedy club than the gypos. Cuntalona are the biggest joke in football. Huge welcoming ceremonies, bring the prodigal son home, play him out of position, flog him. And they haven't even paid us yet. Fans get criticised for applying FIFA wishlists to the transfer market, but the Cuntalonians do it for real, using the money they rob from the other Spanish clubs and the Spanish taxpayer.
Would love to have him back, and I'm sure we'd find a way to fit him in if it happened, but it would have to be something that we look at after we got other, more essential, business done first, and not before.
Unless, of course, we have far more money available to spend than we know, and can comfortably afford to do everything else we want, regardless of what Cesc would cost? Not that likely, but it's a nice thought...
Cesc as a DCM in place of FARTeta with Ramsey and Ozil just ahead. If anyone can play a disciplined CM role its Cesc.
If he signs for Chelsea/Maureen, Football will die forever, no matter whar happens.
He's coming home, fed up with sitting on the bench & shagging birds with hairy armpits.
Just think of what's in store for him, after having Messrs Messi & Neymar to play with, he's coming back to Giroud & Sonogo! - If it wasn't so funny you'd cry.
Maybe we are playing the long game here, there is no rush to sign him as we are in the box seat anyway with him personally. as the summer goes on perhaps barcas price will go down and then we can snap him up for £10m and write off the debt still owed to us. Allow us to focus on the other areas that need strengthening.

Apparently he'll be playing for Chelsea next season.
Oh. Good for him. :coffee:

Me too :coffee:Quote:

Also be interesting to see what the new Monaco manager is looking for
We're suppose to want Kallstrom the crock, it's a joke really, he's a has been that never was that noone wants, we should be setting our sights a bit higher.Quote:

The prospect at earning 200k a week at chelsea is probably keeping him awake at night.
He's going in at junior rates? Poor old Cesc.Quote:

It won't, they were overrated wannabe's, he's the real deal.Quote:

As I've said before, I have no problem bringing Kallstrom back in on a short-term deal if - IF - it's because we've done an impressive amount of spending on other areas and have run out of money, or because our long-term central/defensive midfield targets aren't available just yet, and we're buying ourselves some time. If we're just going for him as the cheap option for the sake of it though, then it's a no for me...
Well, I guess that's that with Fabs then - I suppose the positive has to be that, if we've turned down our first refusal on him (and the prices being mentioned didn't look like anything we couldn't afford), then you'd like to think it's because we have other plans for the money?
To get a bigger mattress to stuff it all in?
Maybe an olympic size swimming pool, so they can go swimming in it like Scrooge McDuck?
If that £30m saved goes towards £30m on Reus, then Wenger :bow:Quote:

And if there's any kind of sell-on clause, then we may get some of the Cesc transfer money to top-up our budget? Ditto for Vela, if he goes anywhere.Quote:

:lol:
But yeah, I'd rather get either Reus or Griezmann as our left wingers, so where Pods usually plays, and a top striker to lead the line rather than getting Draxler and trying to convert him into a striker which doesn't sound too promising as he's fairly slow.
Ramsey - CDM
Ox/Feo - Ozil - Griezmann/Reus
----Striker----
:pray:
I know you got this Reus obsession Munchies :lol: but I can categorically say we've got 0% chance of getting him. Dortmund won't sell him especially after already losing Ledwandoski and with possibly Gundogen going as well. Plus tbh we're not a much more of an attractive proposition than Dortmund if at all for Reus himself to force through the move.Quote:

Greizmann on the other hand is perfect: proven and easily attainable. He's French, mates with Giroud and we've got leverage with Sociedad. God knows why we haven't snapped him up already. I'm going to kill Wenger if Real or PSG end up getting him at the end of the window and he ends up being class for them. It's signs of the usual dithering and indecisiveness from Wenger.
My hopeful line up for new season:
Ramsey - DM
Ox/Feo - Ozil/Santi - Griezmann
----Striker----
Though juding by Ornstein's last comments DM doesn't seem like a priority for Wenger and he'll probably try and eek out another season from Arteta/Flamini until one of his first choice targets is available (probably someone younger than Bender now).
