    The departure to Arsenal, Gervinho is currently still a player of the LOSC. If negotiations are still ongoing, Michel Seydoux, the president Lille, indicates that nothing is done on this issue:

    "We know that the player wants to experience the Premier League. It's an open secret. The discussions are open. But in the face, they do not seem too eager. We. We will see over time. But honestly, you can rest easy this weekend. "
    What the fuck is this club doing?

    Negotiating, probably. When you want to buy something, you don't start by rushing in your knees offering everything you have.

    Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.

    "After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."

    FFS, that's all we need. We're content with paying substandard junk like Denilson and Bendtner a generous wage, but when it comes to a player who would substantially improve the squad and help rectify some of the glaring flaws in the team, we're unwilling to go the extra mile to get the player we need.

    Absolutely pathetic.

    penny pinching again are we arsene?

    even for relatively cheap players and unwanted players like Alvarez and Gervinho, this is a joke

    Nah, it's not smart, it's not clever. To have any chance with the fixtures WE HAVE BEFORE THE TRANSFER WINDOW CLOSES. We need to have all our targets signed and settled before preseason. Were probably thinking that because they're free next year, we probably have the upperhand... I guess we can write off next season and another bunch of stars then?

    Aside from the fact that we do not have any independent verification that this is the problem, the question is not whether the club pays fringe players too much but how much was Cahill asking for? How far apart we they? Was he asking for 110,000 a week? Fabregas levels? Was he asking for van Persie levels?
    While all answers are responses, not all responses are answers.

    I can see this summer being a repeat of January 2009, with us trying to get the price down as much as possible, hoping that the other side will eventually give in and accept a transfer fee significantly lower than their initial estimate. The problem with this tactic is that there is a huge risk of it failing, and us running out of time and unable to sign the players we want.

    Our excessively parsimonious approach is going to prove to be our undoing, no doubt about it.
