After Jadson according to L'Equipe to replace Cesc

[Özim]

Well, he couldn't well say "it's my intention to let them go". Certainly in fabregas case, it would be an invite to Barca to fuck around even more than they have been. He was under contract, so I believe it was his way of saying "he's ours, so fuck off unless you want to pay up", and to other clubs "we don't have to sell if we don't want to".

Make of it what you will.

Me? I'm far more concerned with his and IG's comments about strengthening and doing what was necessary to get us to the party on time. which has clearly not happened. I my mind, that crime is far worse than anything he could have said about "big club" shite....we're still a big club, and always will be. Just like Liverpool are still a big club....and they were fucking awful last year...worse than us!

I agree with you, but I also don't trust him when it comes to signings.

He almost always takes the cheap or youth option, he's completely lost perspective and his refusal to pay a bit extra for something that could make such a huge difference is baffling.

So far this summer he's basically stuck two fingers up and the fans and everyone else and said I'm not listening to any of you I'm doing it my way because it's the only way.

I also agree with the comments someone made about him being indecisive and dithering, he doesn't seem to be able to react quickly to anything, everything is a long drawn out process with him involved...sometimes you just need to act to make your intentions clear and to send a warning out to other clubs.

We'll be portrayed as a club that wil cash in on it's top stars but won't pay the going rate for established players.

After Jadson according to L'Equipe to replace Cesc

...They have previously been linked with Valencia's Juan Mata, but 27-year-old Jadson now appears to be in the frame, as manager Arsene Wenger considers the Brazil international to be a cheaper alternative.

Jadson has a contract with Shakhtar until December 2014, but an offer between £7m and £8.8m could be enough to lure him away from the Ukrainian side.

Oh, just fuck off Wenger!

Oh, just fuck off Wenger!

He knows the price of everything but the value of nothing.

You might say he's a free market fundamentalist

...and Scott Dann...

...the Midlands club are holding out for £10m for the centre-back, who has also attracted interest from Liverpool, Stoke City and Sunderland this summer.

Arsenal are confident they have moved into the driving seat for Dann’s signature and sources close to the negotiations believe the Londoners are “close” to agreeing a deal.

Birmingham’s well-documented financial problems have convinced Arsenal they can buy the defender for below the asking price that has been quoted to suitors this summer.

Again, just fuck off, Wenger!

Id rather say hes a cunt

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

We don't have 4 CB's, we have Djourou, Squillaci, Koscielny (whatever they are, certainly not CBs) and one CB who is surrounded by speculation of a shift to LB because tight wad wouldn't buy a replacement for Clichy. We won't get £50mill in either, it sounds like the Fabregas deal is a lot less than originally thought, 18.5mill now, more next year and the significant remainder made up in performance related add-ons and savings on (fuck me, it's hard to believe) compensation payments to the little cunt. The savings shit doesn't count, you might as well say he was being paid £6mill a year so the transfer fee is actually £24mill more because we'll save his wages. Savings is not an amount of money paid by the cuntalans to us, so how can it be included as part of the transfer fee? It's a smokescreen to lessen the blow as the fans discover how weak we've been in the market again. Even if we do get £50mill, all the pointers indicate a £6mill move for a mediocre defender called Dann (WTFRU?) and you're probably right, it's delusional to imagine tight wad will spring for two defenders. Take a look at the situation up front too. RvP and then what? Chamakh (FFS) and Vela provided he doesn't go on loan. So I guess that means either another injury prone Walcott moving into the centre or the untried Gervinho taking up the role. Yet again, Wenger opts for zero experience as the solution despite all the harsh lessons dished out to us over the last few years. Talk is Wenger is going to reinforce his inability to learn simple lessons by signing some kid called Campbell. In truth the only way it could be a good summer now is if Wenger fucked off. He's done enough damage, his time should be up before he does any more.

we do have 4 cb's. there might be an air of negativity but dont try and spin things to fit into your argument.

wenger has said gibbs will be given a first team chance at lb, meaning jenkinson will cover him. TV will also be able to fill in should jenkinson play rb (if sagna gets injured).

that means we have 4 cb's at the mo, and dann coming in as a 5th. simple as that.

as for the cesc fee, a number of sources are saying its £29m or so up front, £5m variables and £5m given by cesc over 5 years. so roughly £30m up front. for nasri we'll get £20m.

that makes 50m.

which is what i said in my original post.

also gervinho will play up front when rvp is injured, with oxo providing competition on the wings. just as he done during pre season.

don't let yourself be influenced by the media or anything

[Japan Shaking All Over]

I'm not really moving the goalposts here, he is full of BS yes....but why would you even say something like this.

With the transfer things there seems to be some sort of twisted point, but noone asked him to say that...he said it of his own free will.

I find it odd a manager would say that if he felt they could go.

My take on it is that losing your best players is a bad thing and that it doesnt' reflect well on the club, one player fine but two after what's been happening what we've done this summer seems over the top.


Realistically new players need time to settle.

I agree that losing our prize assets in sime circkes would be considered a bad move and a step backwards but the damage that their two seperate sagas are having on the patience and morale of the club and the delay they are causing to us righting any of the bad traits that we still havent addressed leads me to think it is a risk
worth taking
however such endorsement comes with a condition/plea to use the money garnered from such transactions that will help the team now and not 10 yeats down the line, we will need gifted battle hardened troops and the kind of nancy boys that flatter to deceive
I agree with LDG Arsenal could do no worse than to bring back the ethos of a team, a unit not an individual like Cesc was, great player and on his day a joy but at other times a laboursome deadweight that dammed the flow of play. A couple of GHELs in the Cahill/Jags modes would help the defence in this respect, Jack in the centre and someone to play with RvP although not a true GHEL is an orange version of one
