doing things the "right way"?

....whilst asking for 60mil for our star player -- as if we'll ask for any less than our valuation for him.

....which is what most clubs do except we don't think it is moral when other clubs want to sell at exhorbitant rates.

Hey, the market is immorally inflated -- let's sell our players off for as much as we can weasle out in said market but let's hop onto a moral high-ground when we have to buy stuff!

Wenger's hypocrisy is quite embarrassing tbh.

So if Wenger should sell Cesc off on the cheap that would better maintain his stance and make him less of a hypocrite?

Sometimes I think we need to start winning stuff just so the complete fucktards will crawl back into the woodwork.

Our stance with Cesc is totally reasonable, and I wouldn't expect our manager to be doing anything else than to try and get the highest price possible out of him. However, at the same time Wenger moans about an artificially inflated transfer market, criticising implicitly clubs that ask exorbitant prices for their players, claiming it distorts the market. Ultimately, we've put our own valuation on Cesc, the same way other clubs like Sunderland put their own valuations on their prized assets like Henderson. Wenger shouldn't preach to other clubs about the way they try to get the best price out of their players, since that is what we do.

I don't think calling people fucktards helps in any way tbh. It just adds credence to the belief that those who support Wenger are incapable of listening to even the slightest criticism of him or his methods.

Yeah Wenger should make a stance and sell Cesc for a mars bar and a curly wurly...

Italian president claims Arsenal have signed Ricardo Alvarez
Maurizio Zamparini, the president of Palermo, has claimed in an interview Arsenal have signed Ricardo Alvarez.

Zamparini told Tuttosport:
"Alvarez? We had a specific interest we had in hand as early as January. Unfortunately, our mistake we did a quick run at the moment and has already signed for the 'Arsenal'. "

I agree Joker, and I would request that people start realising that there an infinite number of shades of grey and virtually no (if any) shades of black and white when it comes to discussing the pros and cons of Arsenal's footballing policies.

and I almost thought irony was foreign to GW. Why do you have to do that?
