Payet signs for Lille

France international Dimitri Payet is looking forward to a "new adventure'' after completing his move to Ligue 1 champions Lille from St Etienne.
Payet, 24, put pen to paper on a four-year deal on Tuesday night, ending a four-year association with ASSE.
Payet, who scored 13 goals last season, will now have the chance to play in the Champions League next term and he admits the lure of European football was too much to ignore.
"It's a huge satisfaction to finally be here in Lille,'' he told Lille's official website. "This was primarily a sporting decision. I was attracted by the future project of the club, a competitive team - here, there is everything to succeed.
"With LOSC I get to play in the Champions League and play a leading role in Ligue 1. Although so much happened in my four years at St Etienne, I needed a new adventure. I think Lille are the club that will help me with that.''

Payet has signed for Lille, maybe this paves the way for us to complete the Gervinho deal?

Arsene's socialist style of paying all the shite in our squad mega wages, like our top players, so they don't feel bad is going to fuck us this summer. Denilson, Diaby, Bendtner, Rosicky, Almunia etc etc won't leave for less wages and we'll be stuck with the lot of them.

A completely f*cked up policy by idealistic Wenger.

I never understood this policy, the better players get more money that's how it's always been, if you proe yourself you get an improved contract....for some dum reason we decided players had nothing to prove and handed over wads of cash to players who have never excelled or achieved anything, at the same time we allow our top players (who cost us money) to run doen their contract....the height of stupdity if you ask me.

The irony behind it all is Arsene & the board preach on about wages and not paying big money to star players when they load the squad with Junk on inflated wages. We can't even get rid of the Junk, nobody wants to touch em.

We could have had a couple of top tier players for the cost of the wages of those aforementioned players.

I agree regarding the players who have never acheived anything.

I don't get your point about our top players running down their contracts; To my knowledge on Flamini has done that in the past (and BTW, he did it everywhere he went, and has acheieved precisely fuck all elsewhere) and Nasri, who has been offered a MORE THAN REASONABLE 90k per week, which has been on the table for over a year. Tell me exactly where we have allowed our top players to run dwon contracts??

It's utter madness. You've got players like Bendtner and Rosicky on the same money as Modric and Bale.

We're just never going to shift the dead wood (even if Wenger wants to). Who in their right mind is going to pay Bendtner, Denilson and Rosicky anything like what they're on at the moment??

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger wants to bring in Inter Milan's £8m-rated goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano.
Full story: the Sun

But it looks likely that Wenger will fail to lure Juan Mata to the Emirates after the midfielder said he is happy at Valencia.
Full story: the Independent

Gunners midfielder Denilson is attracting interest from AC Milan. Express

Never heard of the keeper, we were never going to get Mata cos he's too well known and I really hope the last line is true.

Not Wengers fault its the board, i highly doubt the Manger sorts out contracts and lengths of them, well i suppose that was diens job now Ivans.

anyway my point is the board know we have a tight wage structure so why they let this happen is beyond me.

10.00 SANCHEZ UPDATE Roberto Mancini claims Manchester City have ended their interest in Udinese winger Alexis Sanchez. “I have spoken to Sanchez and he told me that he was available to join us,” Mancini told Sky Sport Italia. “However, we then ended our interest. We pulled out of the race to sign the Chilean after our last offer was tabled.”

Uh, I'm sorry but can someone explain to me how everyone seems to all of a sudden know how much our players are earning, and how everyone also seems to know that we are operating a system where everyone gets paid the same wage?

Thanks.
