    SSN:
    AVB's resignation will only be honoured once they recieve the release clause fee.
    Should be done in an hour or so then.

    Hazard would have been an interesting buy, but Lille aren't interested in offers for him as he's very much their star and they feel he could get a lot better.

    They seem willing to lose other players as long as they keep hold of him.

    Just got this bit from ANR regards to Usmanov:

    Usmanov now has 29% of Arsenal's shares.
    That's interesting in the light of what Matt Scott wrote last week.
    Matt’s an Arsenal supporter whose Arsenal stories are very well-sourced, so he has earned respect from discerning Gooners for quite a while now.
    Matt said that if Usmanov can increase his stake above 30%, the metals magnate reckons he can "make sure things are done properly".
    This is because Premier League rules give anybody with over 30% of a club the same access to management accounts as any director. Usmanov would then know the wages paid to every Arsenal player.
    When I read that Digger column last Wednesday, June 15, I thought, “What a good story "

    Key paragraph : The rules state that anyone with a stake of more than 30% is considered to exercise "control" over a club's policies, affairs or management. This confers the right to have access to "brief particulars of each material transaction sufficient to identify its date, its amount and nature". These "material transactions" include all transfer fees, player remuneration and payments to agents and other third parties.

    He could effectively start blabbing to the media releasing all kinds of sensitive information.

    It will all depend on hoe many shares Kroenke manages to vacuum up.
    While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.

    Oh.
    I'm sure there was a Ricky Alvarez thread but I can't find it. The guy in South America was elreactor, he seems pretty grounded so I trust his opinion, not like some of the emo bumburglars around here.

    Can't remember what he said though. What the hell happened to that thread?

    It's on old GW.

    Honestly I haven´t seen much of him. I know though that he is constantly praised by the press, along with Maxi Moralez and Juan Manuel Martínez, which are the most notable highlights of the great team that Velez has been forming in the last years. They´ve been promoting young players of their own, mixing with older ones, and the results are very good. Semi final in Libertadores and serious candidates for the local title (they´re leading atm and the rest are very irregular, or, let´s face it, quite shit).

    Now this surely is a smokescreen while Wenger, undetected, signs Denilson´s brother to make him stay for sentimental reasons.

    So "Not seen much of him but gets good press" = "Not a great signing" now?

    Must update GW dictionary.

    Ok found the bit from that thread now not from ElReactor though:

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    and to be honest, i still have serious doubts that this alleged interest is at all genuine (spamming over)

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    if he was 17-18 i'd understand european top clubs making a move, but at 23 i find it hard to believe that he'll reach a top european level

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    could maybe do ok as a wide player but to me he lacks the patience, tactical understanding of the game and vision to succeed in the middle

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    plays in bursts, 10 mins he's active only to disappear and take a break for the next 15, inconsistent. scores few goals, few assists

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    however, to me he looks like a street footballer - poor decision making; picks up ball, runs at people, but often away from danger areas

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    brilliant left foot, dribbling skils are first class - also physically well-built (tall but relatively slight)

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    watched player a few times this spring/winter: central attacking mf ("the new pastore" - he isn't) with excellent technical attributes

    karlsentk Tor-Kristian Karlsen
    some words on ricardo alvarez (velez sarsfield) strongly linked with arsenal. just a personal opinion, some people may disagree (cool)

    I personally feel that signing Alvarez would be another unnecessary gamble. We have way too many "Project Players" in the team/squad as it is.
