Porto manage to get another insane fee, although this may be their most impressive one yet given it is for a defender, I think.

Santi confirms he's NOT leaving this summer.

As a great moderator once said, it's like buying a prostitute off Craigslist.
The gypos reserves that let Arsenal win at Wembley.

Fernando - £12,000,000
Yaya Toure - £24,000,000
Jesus Navas - £22,900,000
Stevan Jovetic - £25,800,000
Samir Nasri - £22,000,000
Edin Dzeko - £27,000,000

James Milner - £26,000,000
Scott Sinclair - £8,000,000

Bruno Zuculini - £1,500,000
TOTAL - £62,400,000
SQUAD TOTAL: £238,100,000 (a paltry quarter of a BILLION quid)
So you can see why they lost. They had no playa.
Wojciech Szczesny - £50,000
Mathieu Debuchy - £12,000,000
Laurent Koscielny - £10,000,000
Calum Chambers - £16,000,000

Mikel Arteta - £10,000,000

Aaron Ramsey - £5,000,000
Jack Wilshere - None
Santi Cazorla - £20,000,000
Yaya Sanogo - None
TOTAL - £108,050,000
Bench
Damian Martinez - None
Nacho Monreal - £8,300,000
Tomas Rosicky - £6,800,000
Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain - £12,000,000
Mathieu Flamini - None
Olivier Giroud - £13,000,000
Joel Campbell - £700,000

SQUAD TOTAL - £148,850,000 (or around 60% of the gypo squad cost)
So there you have it. The hard proof of how disadvantaged the gypos were going into that game. With such a massive advantage, it would have been remarkable had Arsenal NOT won. The fact they could only score three should be a cause for concern, if anything.

Ramsey only cost 5m? Unbelievable. Whats he worth now? 20m? 30m? 40m?
Its taken him a few years to get there mind you, no thanks to Tony fuckin Pulis, but my god was it worth the wait.
Best CM in the league. Incredible transformation. There will be those who maintained he wasn't that bad (including myself) but let's face it no-one thought he'd turn into Gerrard/Lampard so quickly. Before injury he looked like a top talent but as a Beckham/old Fabregas style long ball specialist. But he worked his bollocks off with his fitness levels and has done a similar thing to what Bale did. As long as you can run further than everyone else and can shrug Yaya Toure off the ball, the English league is yours.Ramsey only cost 5m? Unbelievable. Whats he worth now? 20m? 30m? 40m?

Barcelona and Real Madrid will come in with £60m bids next season and we'll tell them to fuck off and pick up Bale for £40m.
I'd say he's in the £30-40m bracket at the moment, and that's pretty much only because injuries robbed him of the chance to prove his consistsency over a longer period - if he managers to stay fit all season, and keep this same level of performance going, then I don't see why we shouldn't be talking about £60m+ by next summer...Ramsey only cost 5m?
