Clichy has left. And Nasri in talks with Citeh.

[Power n Glory]

If we sell him outside the PL, manu will just pay a load of dosh for some other equivalently talented player. Selling to the big buyers in the PL - chavs, manu, citeh - does not have any real effect on what we will be up against as they are going to buy a player of that type/level whether we sell to them or not. If someone wants to offer us silly money for a player with one year left on his contract, then take the money, regardless of who it is.

Selling him to Man U sends out the wrong message. £25m is good business but we won't buy an established player and even if we wanted to, they wouldn't want to play for us. Wenger has to start winning things very soon with this squad otherwise we'll be stuck with this 'stepping stone' reputation. The young kids that are here won't be thinking about a long lasting career here, they'll be thinking about graduating and moving on to one of Europes top clubs.

I can't wait for this guy to leave now. He epitomises the blight in our team - players talking about wanting to win trophies when they themselves have contributed fuck all to the cause. Manure will always get the best players, and IMHO we will not be competing for the title next season, so fuck it. £25M for a player who has shown little consistency and is in the last year if his contract? A nice return thank you. Now fuck off, you mercenary lesbian looking little ****.

PS Manure don't always get it right. Berbatov, anyone?

PPS As everyone that I name myself after turns into a right ****, I'm no longer going to be named after current players.

Cue Bergkamp being appointed new manager at Man City and revealing that he never liked Arsenal in the slightest and only stayed here for so long because his favourite Chinese takeaway was just around the corner.

[Boss]

Gael Clichy has revealed he snubbed Liverpool to join Man City.

"With Liverpool contacts have been very serious," Clichy told L'Equipe. "I had phone calls with Damien Comolli, I knew him for a while. Indeed, there was AS Roma too, with a nice project and an exciting proposition. But I wanted to stay in Premier League.

"I like football here and the state of mind. Moreover, City offered me the opportunity to play again Champions League. I don't know if it will be the case during the next two seasons, but next term I will play in it. Money? I would have earned almost the same at Liverpool. The defenders' wages don't evolve a lot.

"I can understand people believe money has been a key factor. It is not the case. Man City is a big club, with a big team, an ambitious club which wants to shine in any competition. Was I fed up to not win any trophy at Arsenal? No. I don't know if City will win anything, and maybe Arsenal will win the title next term. But I believe City has better weapons."

Don't normally print articles, but put this one up as it staes Arsenal are to offer £110k pw to Nasri. I think this is utter baloney as how could someone know Arsenal are 'about' to take a course of action? Why would anyone at the Club provide that information ahead of discussing it with the player or his agent?

Unless they are 'about' to do it to kick the others (manu, citeh) into offering more for him?

[Kano]

its complete bullshit of course.

article after article of fuck all, yet they know that they have nearly all football fans drying out during the summer, desperate for a fix and hanging on to every single word they make up.

which kind of means that we are playing a game of bluff with the other two, which if called could leave us with egg on our face, dangerous?
