Bit miffed that we are not taking this guy. . .I hear the tough tackler argument though which makes me think that the unnamed team of the three that have pit bids in for MVila could well be us.

Wenger has said that we are in need of a midfielder and I dont think we will go to the end of the window without bringing one in.

Jokers right Wenger is obsessed with value and has obviously chosen this year as the year not to be screwed around. Some may say he let Song go cheaply but on the most part he has played hard ball as I expect him to do in any MVila talks. Real wanted too much for Sahin come next year and he decided to walk away. . .shame cos the guy is quality but. . .
