    What was it, £20m?
    Pretty sure Reyes was close to 20million...here...

    Reyes was 10.5M rising to 17M depending on appearances, trophies etc. We eventually ended up paying around 13M.

    We might have been interested in Torres but once we found out his price there was no chance of us signing him.

    That's how I feel Bendy tbh. He's OK, I just don't think he's up to our level.
    He doesn't help himself by shouting his mouth off about how brilliant he is. I like a bit of confidence but there's a line between that and delusion and he crosses it IMO.

    We missed out on plenty of signings because we wanted to give kids like Bendy, Denilson, Diaby and co a chance for the first team. Now all of a sudden we're starting to sign players like Gervinho, Santos, Arteta, Podolski..etc because it's been made perfectly clear that those guys aren't good enough for the first team and we're starting to find experienced players for reasonable fees like we used to.

    that alongside the fact he's only got 2 years left on his contract means wenger wants as many trophies as he can get before he fucks off so fans at least remember him as being successful instead of being the person who took us to degeneration.

    I agree with this and I agree with some of what FY says.

    Although I doubt we would see 20 from Nic if he lead the line as it would be enougj for the team. He doesnt make enough for himself and we dont have the support in terms of goals from other areas. I am talking about Nic playing without RvP of course.

    Chamkh does need to play alongside another but his worth is finished as his confidence is shot to pieces

    Park is the mystery, what the hell was going on in that bit of oak and dagger business. He has not been given a chance so people saying he is shit is a bit unfair but the signing does not seem to have been for footballing reasons nor do I thonk it was to generate shirt sales in asia /@MS Korea not Japan)

    We were never going to break even in one season that amounted to a handful of appeatances! nor are we going to as the guy is obviously history as should the other two be. Time to sgip them out and bring in replacements as we are doing, simple

    Bendtner thrives in a team with a deep defence and good wide men who can cross the ball

    That isn't us so adiós
