Arteta wants £70k pw - we've so far offered a large paella.

@AAllenSport:

Surprised Steve Bruce wants him again, I thought Bendtner got caught boshing his daughter while on loan at Birmingham (allegedly)...

Maybe his daughter has asked Dad for a favour.

This is how the club screws us, by keep lowering our expectations and it's happening right in front of our eyes. Do you see what's happening? We were linked with much better players than Arteta, then they play it as if the deal is off and that we were just gonna get Benayoun on loan. Now that the Arteta deal might be back on, everyone is creaming their pants. Now we're satisfied with signing Arteta to replace Cesc AND Nasri. That's how they mess with us psychologically.

Exactly. Even if we get Arteta and Benayoun we shouldn't lose sight of the fact that this has been a dreadful summer when it comes to our transfer dealings. We are weaker at the end of the window than we were at the start, no doubt about it.

Fees agreed with Everton...wages are the issue with Arteta

I heard it was because we thought he had Barca DNA so we told him to fuck off

i think you're over egging it slightly. would we prefer a risk on a better player that takes 6-12 months to bed in or good players that can get into it straight away?

@phillmcnultybbs Mikel Arteta now happening because he asked to leave Everton after hearing of Arsenal's interest. #bbcfootball #fb

@johncorssmirror: Arteta forcing the deal to happen. Clearly desperate to join #afc

Yoss and Arteta might just be the bare minium tbh. Arteta willing to take a pay cut.

I hope Wenger has a surprise in addition to Arteta.
