Guaccherini was awesome for Italy in the Confederations cup.
I don't think we'd have many qualms selling him to you, so long as the money was right. We sold Torres to Chelsea afterall, simply because Roman gave us a skip full of money. And I think he has already said he is honoured to be linked blah de blah. We can sell our biggest name to Chelsea of all teams, I don't think Arsenal are as big rivals (in that we don't hate you) in that regard.
But obviously we'd be desperate to sell him off abroad. I give it a few days before the Higuain + Cash for Suarez rumours start. And I daresay we'd accept lower from a foreign club in order to make that happen.
As for him only being a £30m player.No. No chance. And in any case, if the price did start to come down to this level I think bigger teams (and before you all start, you are a big team) would become interested. He was a coup when we got him for £22.8m, he's certainly a bigger player now.
As for whether he's worth the risk..... I'd say yes. Fucking mental, massive dickhead, ridiculous player. What makes things worse though is he seemed to have turned a corner before the Ivanovic thing; there was less remonstrating with officials, less idiocy, less theatrics, less of the attitude, but I think there will always be occasions where he flies off the handle. A comparison between him and Higuain are a bit off given they're totally different players. And of course, if he did stay in the country, given his excuses of not liking Britain and the controversy, he'd be our public enemy #1... which would make our games a little more interesting.
spot on.
with a van persie up top we would have been title contenders last season. we would have probably got about 10 extra points over the course of the season which takes us up to 83. at that stage you become title contenders.
i can think of a number of games where we missed an easy chance and ended up dropping points; sunderland at home, stoke away, man city away (cant really be classed as dropping points vs the champions but we bossed it and gervinho's chance in the last minute was gaping), fulham at home, man utd at home.
thats 15 off the top of my head. so i think a world class striker is crucial, you cant win anything and compete without one. the best form of defence is attack after all, and with a top striker we could be challenging. not to mention the confidence is gives the rest of the team knowing you have a monster up top. 2 seasons ago when we scraped over the line van persie inspired a whole team. its not far fetched to think that a suarez or higuain could take us up a notch.
Apparently we bid on Edinson Cavani in jan, 30mill.
Apparently according to who? Because apparently some guy down the pub reckons we're close to signing Van Persie back from Man Utd.

I give it a few days until my lottery numbers come up.
It's not much of a jump for journalists to make things up though...
Tbf, AKBapologist's "apparently" and ollie's "some guy on twitter said he saw some breaking news on ssn that was sourced from al-jazeera's sports desk who got it from pat nevin's mum but i can't link to it yet" are just as legitimate as any other transfer story you'll come across.

How? They put in an offer, who'd have thought that type of approach would work?
I see reports of Utd eyeing up Fellaini re-emerging again today. We should have agreed personal terms with him back in June and activated the release clause on July 1 - deal done. But do we? Ever?
God this transfer window (like all previous ones) is making me bloody bitter
