Nuri Sahin

[Olivier's xmas twist]

Yeah the penny pinching would go under the meeting Wenger bit

It probably went something like this

Wenger "Welcome to Arsenal"
Sahin "its a wonderful place, a brilliant stadium, a great pitch. I cant wait to play here on loan and then hopefully prove to you i am good enough for a permanent transfer"
Wenger "We all wish that of course. We are 2% away from domination. I believe you can be that 2%"
Sahin "so lets get down to business, how much will i get in wages while im here?"
Wenger "What?!!!!! You are on loan. We dont pay you. Bye"

Sahin joins Liverpool

Why the fuck should be spalsh 8-10 mill on a loan when we might as well have bought him for 14 then.

But we couldn't have bought him for £14m, he's never been for sale!

Where has all this £8m-10m BS come from?

Totally agree although I think we may have been more inclined to do this had Real been willing to make the deal perm at end of season. Even having said that, that would then make the transfer in the region of £25m in total. I guess Wenger has quite rightly looked at this and thought that £25m total cost for securing his services is not a great deal and feels that he can do better elsewhere......MVila for £10m less or something. The only point at which I will be disspointed about all of this is if we now dont secure the services of someone else instead - that would of course be a step backwards.

Sahin is hardly the player we need anyway.

We need a Song replacement and he wasnt it really.

Thank fuck someone sees the light! All this wank fest over a player we dont need is pointless.

We dont need quality players?

Or you'd rather we have Ramsey and Diaby?

We have Cazorla Arteta and Ox who can play in that position. These are very good players who can play there and we also have Wilshere. Diaby and Ramsey are shit. If anything, we need a DM if we are to continue playing 3 in the middle. Coq can do that job but some other DM like Tiote would be better. Sahin is just going to be playing a similar role to Arteta, Cazorla and Ox..
If we switch to a 4-4-2 then I think we are more than packed in CM. Mind you, all the players here have PL experience.. why go for Sahin when we need cover in the full back positions and on the wings (assuming theo leaves)?
