More speculation.

Yeah I saw that yesterday. Basically the guy will fish wherever he thinks he can get the cheapest price. It's all about the price, not what the team needs, not what will improve us. He's a bare faced liar when he talks about quality. Price is the number one, and in many cases only, consideration. That's why we end up with Chamakhs and Sanogos and Girouds.

Well, you know, maybe with a bit of improvement (or a miracle in some cases) this player will really do the business, maybe he won't be shit, maybe he can do a job, maybe he's one for the future (code for us chucking him in at the deep end today), maybe, maybe, but for sure he's cheap so fuck it, they want transfers? He'll do (but let's haggle anyway).

that's been there since last night, David Ornstein alluded to both players as well.

I don't know much about Omer Toprak although have always rated Simon Kjer, however it does seem like we are trying to play the agree to our valuation or we will take our business elsewhere strategy which i can't see will work.

And it's definitely a great idea to be doing this so late in the day. Selling clubs will never guess we are desperate. It's not like they'll all be waiting with wheelbarrows for us to arrive in full on panic mode.

What a fuck up.

As usual.

He's the cheapest in the business, it's never about quality at all and all about price as you say, he signs sub-standard players despite his claim he only looks for quality.

Not blessed with common sense either, prices now are bound to be higher and anyone with an ounce of common sense would know that.

We should be targeting layers who can leave their club on a free, at least we won't have to worry about paying too much then!

Indeed, i think we are trying to do what we did with Malaga over Cazorla....the vulture approach. We don't want to pay Valencia the right money for Mustafi because we don't think we need to because they are in financial lumber. They appear on balance though to be more keen on keeping Mustafi than cashing out and that's why they want their valuation met, and in fact have offered us Aymen Abdennour.

In transfer market terms, Arsenal are the scum of the earth, trying to force clubs to sell cheaply because they need the money, trying to activate apparent release clause with extra £1 bids, it's easy to see why clubs turn round and get offended and tell us where to go.

The morally superior club morally inferior in every way ironically.

It would be fitting for us to have a defender called Aymen.

You mean get Flamini back? Play him at CB?

Please don't even whisper that in case a certain fellow hears you.
