Arsenal’s hopes of signing David Villa look to have been dashed as Barcelona president Sandro Rosell insists the Catalan club want to keep the player until the end of the season at least.
Quoted by @EurosportCom_EN: – Rosell said, “I reject absolutely the transfer of Villa in the January window. He is ours and we need him.”
How dare they reject the 4.5 mil we must have thrown at them?
Don't know why some folks are acting as if he has to imply in an overt manner that he rejected us because he thinks our manager is a bumbling idiot.Originally Posted by Cripps
While you take the point to the extreme and use unnecessary curse words I would point out to you that the board will not rid us of the Wengerer while he fulfils his requirement, making money. If you look at it from the boards, very business like, point of view Wenger delivers while they get to gradually increase the cost of attending matches through concession stands and ticket prices. I was offered a ticket for the Manchester City match at £65 which is ridiculous but the ground will still be full.
While people continue to fill the seats they wont care where in the league we finish. Champs league money is of course very welcome but as long as the corporate boxes are full and the seats have bums in them who cares? They all get a nice dividend every April. In my opinion it will actually get worse before it gets better. The deal with the emirates mean that the board can shave even more money from the club and put even less back in.
I think of Mr. Wenger in two ways.
1. He is a loyal man who cares deeply for the club and is trying his best to keep us going with what he is given by the board, his pride stopping him from throwing in the towel and just watching as the club crumbles.
2, The more commonly held view that he was great but has been overtaken by both other coaches and the money-men
However he clearly isn't an idiot as some suggest, have you heard the saying "we hurt those we love the most" that is what Mr. Wenger is doing to Arsenal. In my opinion.
Wenger is not some kind of bumbling idiot.
It's better to burn out, than to fade away.
If he wanted to endear himself to his future Spurs fans he could simply have said he joined them over us because he wanted trophies/respected them more/thought they were growing not fading as Arsenal are or some other slightly more obvious jibe.
Where in the article does it say he didn't?
Wenger already admitted we were interested in him and our scouts were on high alert, plus he's free right up Wenger's street.
"He's much better than Wenger" Holtby didn't go on to say, before not blasting the Arsenal manager.
Holtby (22) went on to not mention Arsenal in any way whatsoever.

Hmmm.
What do players love most?
I think it's safe to say Spurs offered him more cash.
