[Olivier's xmas twist]

£30mill for RvP - the jokes just keep on coming. He's worth £75mill - £90mill based on the bullshit amounts being paid for strikers with half his quality. Can see the board settling for a much lower fee though, say £12mill plus an all expenses paid trip to a gay under-age orgy.

Yeah but to them, he is nearing 30 and injury prone they'd say lol. Only the Russians or City or PSG would pay silly money for him lol

Can see a lot of factors coming into play when a transfer fee is thrashed out. . .injury record being one of them. . .
but hopefully it shouldnt come to that and we do enough to show RvP that his future a la Bergkamp stylie lies with us.

I get nervous when I hear Wenger mention again that

1) we have money
2) will buy if the right player becomes available
3) have players yet to return from injury and when they do we have a big squad
4) and that the team is starting to perform

If we have the money SPEND IT because the right players ARE available and it would be great to see them ADDED to our already so called big squad and I am sure we WILL perform even better.

I think we are two decent transfer windows away from a decent team

Don't care if his leg has fallen off, the fact he's not Ibrahimovic should add at least £50mill to the fee.

And the board thinks they are two decent transfer windows away from a drunken Roman toga party on a new yacht, and they are far more likely to be right.

I think Wenger will come out with stuff like we are "growing" as a team and "dont' forget this team has only been together a few months" come the January Window.

I don't think we'll buy what we NEED come January or even next Summer for that matter. It will be "bargain bucket" type signings & more youth.

Pretty much.

He'll also use the "We dont want to kill <insert player name>" excuse.

If invites are forthcoming, I'm leaning towards forgiveness :lick lips:

See here's how its going to go. We will see a limited improvement in the team this season, but performances will continue to stutter, and matchday attendances will continue to dwindle. We will by noone of any note in January, and will finish outside the top four. This will mean a so-called 'big signing' in the Summer as the board desperately tries to shore the crumbling regime up but even then don't expect anyone other than someone of Gervinho's status.

I'm afraid that our expectations re big signings are way out of date, because we are over, for the forseeable future, as a 'big' club and the glory days of the early 00's aren't coming back.
