We won't sign a 20M+ player until Wenger leaves.

It was just an idea bouncing around my head that we expected Barca to give us a good enough bid and were going to spend the money on a decent striker to play with RvP, like Benzema but now that Barca look more like cocking off than coughing up we aren't willing to spend a large amount so went for a younger talent instead.
Stuff about us being interested in a youth defender:
http://www.talksport.co.uk/sports-ne...-under-20-starArsenal are interested in São Paulo defender Bruno Uvini, and hope their good relationship with the Brazilian outfit will give them an advantage in the race for his signature.
The Gunners agreed to let wantaway midfielder Denílson return to São Paulo over the weekend, despite reportedly being offered a higher loan fee from Fluminense. The club are now hoping to use that deal to their advantage in the hunt for Uvini.
The 20-year-old full-back will captain Brazil's Under-20s at the forthcoming World Cup, where scouts from a number of European clubs will watch him. Arsenal are expected to be there, and could firm up their interest should Uvini have a successful tournament.
Uvini's current contract runs until 2014, but São Paulo are hopeful of agreeing new terms with him, which would include a release clause for European sides.
Also, if anyone cares, pictures of Denilson in Brazil:

They'll pay us 400k for the loan deal and they have an option to buy at the end of it for 6M euros.
Hope he plays well.

squid can fuck off. bartley should take his place. still, we need a good, experienced defender.
I don't think anyone else wants him, which is weird as he'd still do well in France or Spain.
So back next season "like a new signing no doubt"Stuff about us being interested in a youth defender:

Society is now one polished horde
Formed by two mighty tribes, the bores and the bored.
"After all, it was the Gunners’ goalkeeper who started the move that culminated in Thomas’ crowning glory. It was Lukic who, in injury time, decided to throw the ball out to Lee Dixon rather than lump it long..."
I wouldn't mind having Bartley in the first team set up. He GHEL'd it up in Scotland with Rangers so he's not someone who would shy away from the challenges presented to him.
Adds to our increasing GHEL quota too.
Is it late July yet? Funny how the Gervinho announcement was made in last few days, does that count as the late July transfer activity Wenger was on about?
It's a long waiting period.
from Sky - http://www.skysports.com/story/0,195...047617,00.html
Joel Campbell has opted against signing for Arsenal just yet in order to focus on the upcoming Under-20 World Cup finals.
The 19-year-old Costa Rica international was believed to be on the verge of joining The Gunners in a near £1million deal.
However, the teenager has decided to remain with Deporivo Saprissa for now in order to concentrate on the U20 tournament in Colombia.
Campbell's father Humberto confirmed the highly-rated starlet would not be joining in order to concentrate on international commitments.
Arsenal's Premier League rivals Manchester United have also been linked with the starlet and it has been confirmed that 'other' offers are on the table.
Offers
"We've decided we will not sign anything yet," his father told La Nacion.
"We have other offers on the table that are being analysed, but nothing's done. Let's negotiate after the World Cup.
"We hope to go to the World Cup and that Joel plays well without pressure. We'll see what happens."
Disappointment
Saprissa president Juan Carlos Rojas has expressed his disappointment that Campbell's transfer to Arsenal will not come to fruition.
"It's disappointing for football, for Saprissa that these people have not taken Arsenal's offer seriously," explained Rojas.
"I assume the father thinks things will get better after the decision, but there's always a risk.
"It's a pity Costa Rican football could not have a player at Arsenal at the moment."
.another hijacked bid obviously a much bigger pay pack on offer......talk is Utd are sniffing about"We have other offers on the table that are being analysed, but nothing's done
