6 million. Even if add-ons would take it up to 10, they'd still not accept it.

We need to overpay to get the right player atm, even if he'd only be back-up or part of a rotation, having one more defender between us and the doomsday option of playing Squillaci is a necessity.

Well, the fact is, no one knows what the add-ons are. They could be another £10m for all we know.

Exactly.

You're right, in that we don't know at all but we can guess and I doubt it would be that much, you'd rarely get that much in a deal for a defender as there's no real way of gauging his performances as you can with attackers goal/assist bonus clauses.

This strategy of bidding low and then giving up seems not to be working somehow.

Yes but then AW will come out and say at least we tried to sign players even though they probably made a piss poor offer,cant see whats the problem with paying 15 million for Cahill the guy is only 24 an england international and has a sell on value if that were needed which is the norm for a wenger purchase,just GET ON WITH IT.ldboy

Gosh, that would be original

I doubt that very much.

Im sure we'll get Cahill, Hazard and Mvila before the window closes.

But we do need to make a better offer for Cahill, I reckon £12m would be enough.

The thing is, Bolton know as well as everyone here that we cant act like paupers, offering a low up front fee then the rest in add-ons, when weve got around £60-£80m in transfer money sitting around.

I think he'll leave Bolton before the window closes, they didn't play him in the Carling Cup.
