Well said Mr Jeebus!

I feel a "Wenger Out" post coming on!!!!

[Fats]

Maybe we offered £16m and the add on was Chamakh

Thats £16,000,002 taken care of right there.

True story

[isv]

on the skysports breaking news yellow ticker says bolton have rejected bid for gary cahill from arsenal

[She Wore A Yellow Ribbon]

he signed for £5m in 2008 from villa.

if its true and we offered £6m, then wenger believes he has only increased in value by £1m.

absolutely shocking.

[Grebbo]

By offering such a poor opening bid, we've probably pissed them off and made them more reticent to deal with us tbh. If we had offered something reasonable, like £12M + addons, they would have rejected it but would have seen we were being serious and that would open the door to negotiations.

I don't get why Wenger is so reticent about signing established British players, given that he obviously has no issues signing young British talent, even if he does have to pay large sums for them.

Opening bid of £12m + add ons for Gary Cahill?
Not an International
Can leave for free in 12 months
Bolton are skint

Nah.

He's saying Chamakh is worth minus £10m.

Well that's how I read it and agree!

It won't be Wenger making the bid.

Just saying.

[Grebbo]

That is a fucking piss take even for us tbh.

We aslo dont have time to fuck about negotiating, shouldve done that at the start of june ffs.

There are only 6 days left, wenger get your shit together and do some business.

Bolton don't have time to fuck about either.

He's been for sale all summer and nobody has bid for him.

They cannot afford to let him leave for free, so they have to sell him this week.

I'd say they're in a weaker position than us.

[GP]

Besides, £6m + add-ons is probably about £10m, which for a defender with a year left on his contract probably isn't a million miles away.

[Boss]

Bid their asking price and get him in the team for our next game ffs.

Not rocket science.
