Transfer News, Rumours and Bollocks Thread

I had to post the following headline: Wenger refuses to spend big despite faltering finish from the News Now site. What struck me was how this "negative" headline was created from a pretty sensible statement by Wenger. His actual comment was "We cannot buy players for £50m and, even if we try to strengthen our team and spend money if needed, that is fact. We will try to do the right thing and buy the right players." The way I read that is the club will buy players but they cannot afford to buy players in the region of Ronaldo, Torres and Kaka.

Realistically, how many people believe that Arsenal should buy players at that price?

How I hate this nonsense that Wenger spouts. Noone is asking for him to buy a £50M player, and he knows it. Its just smoke and mirrors the whole frigging time with this guy.

Well, he needs to make at least one mega big signing to add to the unknowns. He ain't hoodwinking anyone with his bullshit this time.

So who do we think is leaving?

I would guess (if buyers can be found):

Bendtner - £16m
Almunia - £1m
Denilson - £7m
Rosicky - £2m
Vela - £5m
Clichy - £12m

Which would put the 'transfer warchest' at about £73m. If you factor in the £35m figure mentioned on Twitter.

And of course there is the Fabregas saga (£35m+), Nasri contract stalling (£20m+) and Arshavin wavering (£10m+) to think of too.

Plus you could argue that Squillaci (£3m), Diaby (£6m) and Chamakh (£8m) may also be sold if someone came along with a suitable offer, which could in theory give Arsene up to £100m to spend on transfers and wages and of course, new contracts...

That is a lot of money and it could well be a very un-Arsenal like summer of a few out and a few ins.

£16m for bendtner?

£16m for bendtner?

Well, if someone is willing to pay £35 million for Andy Carroll, then there might be another club willing to pay £16 million fro Bendtner. But it is wildly optimistic.

Sorry to re-open the wound, NTB.

Different circumstances though tbf. Newcastle knew Liverpool were getting big bucks for Torres so they milked it.

I think we could get 10m for Bendtner though, comfortably.
