We supposedly bid £40 million and then bid an extra pound, it was bound to p*ss them off to be honest, I've never seen anyone make a bid like this before.

If we're not getting Suarez then we should be going all out for other signings.
Also if we're willing to go to £40m then just meet their valuation at £50m and call it what we'd make from Gervinho.
Liverpool should just call our bluff and watch Arsenal shit themselves.
If you don’t send this signature to ten people, you will become a Spurs fan.
To be honest I think we have already walked away from this deal. I can't see us going any higher than what we have offered, that offer IMHO was based on the assumption that it would have triggered his release clause, hence the additional penny!!!Originally Posted by Steve French
That's it, no more room at the Inn, the powder will be kept dry.
I personally can't see Wenger entering the market unless he wants to purchase "squad filler" material which I doubt he does seeing as he's having a hard time of shifting the last remains of the rubbish.
We have well and truly screwed up this Window.
On a different note, according to The Sun,
Daniel levy values Bale at £125m
He's been accidentally calling him 'Gareth Stadium' all week.
I say steady on old bean surely it isn't Scouse ****s per se if anything it's more Americano ****s possibly plundering one of European's great football clubs? Is there a Parallel in there somewhere?
It still doesn’t work and I’ve stopped looking at it from a fan perspective a long time ago. I understand share appreciation/value and what you’re trying to say but I disagree with it. Why allow the wage bill to rocket when that’s a serious drain on resources? Why spend money in the transfer window at all in fact if we’re trying to keep costs low in order to sell high?
If Stan wanted a quick return on his investment, why not sell his shares to Usamov? I’m sure there are plenty of billionaires still sniffing about so why not sell to them? PSG and AS Monaco have new oil rich owners right? Why didn’t he sell to them if he wanted a quick buck? New stadium, a London club, we’re an attractive proposition. He must be able to get his money back with interest but that doesn’t fit Stan’s profile. He runs a sports enterprise and has yet to sell any of his other clubs off. History shows that he’s a long term investor and you have to question why the original board sold their shares to him instead of selling off to some random oil baron for the highest price. Wouldn’t they have made more money off the sale? Also, Stan would surely stand to make more money if we were a successful club actually winning titles. Wouldn’t a one off season of investment generate more money? Shirt sales and other commercial deals…he’s missing out on all of this. It makes no sense to scrimp when he make a lucrative amount of money by just investing a little more.
Also, that example still doesn’t answer why Gazidis would throw Wenger under the bus when he’s the golden goose to this operation. This summer has rocked the boat and the discontent amongst Arsenal fans is pretty high. If Wenger is the only manager that can bring in results at a ‘low’ cost then why throw him under the spotlight? Why the PR stunt if they’re unconcerned with the outcry? If this is a monopoly, why the PR stunt and spin? It’s unnecessary if they have a monopoly and it certainly makes no sense to throw your moneymaker under the spotlight to try and pull the wool over our eyes. This is Wenger’s final year and he won’t appreciate being made to look a fool.
Pretty much, but this deal was doomed from the off, I could never see this happening for many reasons. We should have gone for more realistic targets (still top quality), but instead went for the pipedream signing IMO and now it's pretty much August we've signed noone of note and it'll only get harder to find players with the new season drawing closer.To be honest I think we have already walked away from this deal.

A job well done by Wenger and co, they've stitched the fans right up once again as predicted.
We will end up with a couple of nothing signings, just like Man City last year with Rodwell and Sinclair who only came in to keep face. That's what we'll do.To be honest I think we have already walked away from this deal.
