Super Super Quality Transfer Speculation & Shit

Not really.

All it does is show that he wants to wait until after he's put himself in the shop window and hope a big money offer comes in for him.

I don't know what your on about in the second half of your post tbh.

Could be, could also be he's not really interested in playing for us just like Yaya Toure for example who came out and said he had no interest in us.

Right now I don't think we're top of the list for clubs to sign for and not just because of the money, we've made our bed and now we have to lie in it. i hardly think the RVP situation will help the perception players have about us change either.

We signed Chamakh.. he really wanted to come here. Its the getting rid part which is difficult!

I said players, as in football players.

50 pence and a bag of chips won't be enough sadly, but at least Wenger will be able to say he almost signed him.

would you like to see us offer the same wages as city will for an unproven kid?

also did you see my stat about hazard and kagawa? after seeing that, would rather have kagawa

[Özim]

zimm i found this stat, i thought you might like it given you think hazard is great and kagawa is not so great.

hazard - 192 apps, 50 goals, 38 assists (club) 26 apps, 1 goal (international)
kagawa - 198 apps, 86 goals, 45 assists (club) apps 30, goals 10. (international)

does this change your opinion at all? not trying to be wummish here, genuniely interested given what you ahve said about both players.

Yeah come on, all but 29 of his goals were in Japan (many of his assists were as well) and 50 odd of those were in J2 Japans division 2 so hardly a fair stat.

In addition Hazard is 2 years younger, but all his games have been in France's top league.

I didn't say that, I was just commenting on your post that we're in for him as if we have some sort of chance. We don't because we won't pay and realistically have nothing to offer him.

As for Kagawa, see my post above about how those stats are rather misleading.

Our biggest problem every season (after the fact we have Chamakh) is injuries. So we need to sign more cover rather than blow all the cash on one player who will definitely get injured the minute he signs. 3-4 solid professionals in key positions will serve us a lot better than some young prospect who wants £200K a week (I assume he's on drugs). Besides, he won't be as good as Ox anyway so we already have the young prospect, don't need another one. Dempsey is just sitting there with nothing to do this summer, why isn't he signed yet? Some cover at right back, cover for Song and a striker. Done. Leave the citys and chavskis to fight it out for the cash machine players.

Hazard pisses on Ox tbh
