Ramar Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 I think £10M is a fair deal, £13M at most. But that just tells you how much Wenger values him and proves it's a panic buy and not a calculated decision. A whole summer gone to waste.

But that just tells you how much Wenger values him and proves it's a panic buy and not a calculated decision. A whole summer gone to waste. Yeah, 13 or something would've been a fair deal. You can say about Liverpool overspending on players, but realistically, if those players turn out to be successes for the club, then it'll be worth it. Look at the fee we paid for Rooney all those years back, or on Ferdinand. Over the odds, but they've contributed a lot. If Carrol stays in that Liverpool squad for the next decade and helps them to lift trophies, then it'll be said that he's a success. Wenger is a great guy, but he's gotta stop all this accountant bullshit. He's a football manager. Let the chairman and the staff worry about the money, and you just concentrate on building a good squad. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mr-Paul Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Apparently Arteta wanted 90k a week as well. No way worth that. 'Arry on Sky Sports News is always comedy gold. Kaka was never gonna happen for them. And now Arteta is back on! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellmeister Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 SSN saying Arteta back on, think it would be a great signing for Arsenal. He's worth more than £10million I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellmeister Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Were they the ones that were swearing/ making rude gestures? I was away from the TV but heard an apology from the presenters. Spurs rejected £40million for Modric. Ridiculous from both perspectives, he isn't worth that (I think £20) and Spurs are silly for not accepting it!

Spurs rejected £40million for Modric. Ridiculous from both perspectives, he isn't worth that (I think £20) and Spurs are silly for not accepting it! Harry Redknapp claimed it was 40 million, this is the same man that claimed Bayern Munich put in a 20 million pound offer for van der vart just before he signed him for Spurs, both Real and Bayern strenuously denied this. Take anything 'arry says with a pinch of salt. STOP PRESS - Meireles has submitted a transfer request!! Edited August 31, 2011 by James Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 40 million for Modric is insane... Spurs could've used that to finance another midfielder and a quality striker. Saying that, they need to keep their best players if they want Europe, again. Also, Ellmeister is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fierce_LiNk Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 Uhh, that's a pretty stupid move by Meireles. Also, I had a major laugh today when I read something about Tevez: A few weeks later, City thought they had agreed a deal with Corinthians for the sale of the striker, only for the Sao Paulo-based outfit to pull out because they could not finalise the transfer before the close of their international transfer window. Inter Milan have also been consistently linked with the player, but instead opted for Atletico Madrid's Diego Forlan to replace Samuel Eto'o. A combination of the fee wanted by City for Tevez and the player's salary demands seem to have warded off potential suitors. Tevez is yet to start a game for City this season, with Sergio Aguero and Edin Dzeko preferred in attack by manager Roberto Mancini. The forward has also lost the club captaincy to Vincent Kompany, while his place in the Argentina national side has again been taken by Aguero. Had to laugh. So...no longer Captain of your club, no longer first choice, no longer first choice for your country, and nobody wants to buy you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr-Paul Posted August 31, 2011 Share Posted August 31, 2011 One of my favourite transfer jokes today: Mancini has said a new face will be arriving at City, apparently Lescott and Tevez are fighting to see who gets it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
