That's the story that came out after everything was done and dusted. True or false? It's as true or false as any other football story. However, what's certain is we should have signed him whatever the cost. That one signing could have transformed so many things at this club. Plus there's the £10mill Jagielks antics that support the generally accepted theory Wenger is a fucking tight wad. Still, we went on to get the likes of Chamakh and Squillaci so it hasn't all been so fucking horrendous you could rip your own arse out and wear it as a hat.

David Villa off, Pedro on.
Pedro.Even though he is falling foul of their corrupting influence now.
Pepe.
I'd love to hear what the instructions Mourinho set out for him are in these games.
phil thompson on saturday said we offered £12m but rafa wanted £16m for alonso. we wouldnt pay more.
he ended up going for £30m.
another stupid mistake by arsene.
Bloody hell Messi.
Benzema off, Higuain on.
Valdes comes out for the ball, parries it out. Ronaldo was running across and it looked like Valdes caught him as he was moving across. Hmm.
Stonewall pen for Real - ref ignores it.
