Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

[Fist of Lehmann]

Nothing I suppose but it looks like they will be buying Coates.

FFS, why weren't we in for Coates?

Think of the punning possibilities.

We should take a stand against it?

Sounds good to me as long as it's not someone sh*t again like last time.

We're looking for a different kind of striker I would think, so you'll probably be in luck.

Bolton have signed Boyata on a season long loan, looks like they have their Cahill replacement.

Hopefully a goalscorer at long last, after seeing Di Natale the other night it's clear what we've been missing, someone who can shoot, head and score from anywhere, creates space for himself with good movement and looks for every opportunity to shoot.

No more poncy players who like to do this that and the other outside the box but are shot shy.

But the manager warned that signings were not guaranteed. "There is a chance [we could make no signings] because again we are dependent on the desire of the people who have the players to sell the players," he said.

Offer fair transfer fees and you'll get the players you want.

Wenger should get the hook for this.

Joker literally has two brain cells.

In other news, apparently the bid was made on Monday! Chairman reacted to a newspaper article by retweeting a fans reaction. It appears he either didn't have a clue before he read it in the papers or wanted to provoke a reaction from fans/media/AFC.

They say their crazy evaluation of £17mill for someone with a year left on their contract is based on the price united paid for young. Unfortunately Cahill is not an attacker, nor an England starter, nor are we united, and it's clear not that many clubs are after him.

In other news, confirmation of Bendtners exit...

I reckon so, maybe someone with a bit of physicality as well.

On the contrary, Bolton have suggested they aren't willing to accept anything less than £16M, and yet here we are offering a measly £6M.

Fuck Barca and fuck Bolton. I don't support either team.

There's nothing wrong with a team getting the best price they can. That's natural and that's why Man City/Chelsea are cocks too, fucking it up for normal clubs.

There's a massive difference between waging a long campaign of de-stabilisation stretching over years and then becoming the only destination for the prospective player and THEN fighting for a good price. That's bollox. If Barca had kept their mouths shut for the last two years and bid £25m then yeah, fair enough. But that's not what they did.

And as far as Bolton is concerned, we've not said a thing about Cahill. We've not lodged a bid. We've not claimed Cahill has Arsenal DNA. Nothing. We bid low, although how low is not known. That is disputed already.

If you think these two behaviours are the same you're a clown.
