The Barca vice-president in London according to SS News for talks with Arsenal re Song

[Nicosia Gooner]

SS are suggesting that Barca offered £13m but Arsenal insist on £15m

I hope this is all rubbish, it would be wrong to sell Song, end of

[Ronaldooooooo]

Of course we should bring in another up and coming DM

If we lose RVP and Song I'm not sure that money will be put back into the playing squad. Its more than a little worrying, suddenly we wouldn't appear so ambitious going into a new season having lost two of our best players again.

Lets hope it doesn't happen, and if it does, that we still have business to do in the transfer market. I really rate Coquelin but I just dont think he is ready yet.

Can't see him being a first choice. And the fee isn't right for us anyway.

This looks a non-starter

[Herr Floyd - PEGIDA]

This is a cover up for Barca taking Van Persie imvho.

Mean Diaby.

We could go from the buzz of our 3 new signings to losing Song and RvP in a week http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/indifferent.gif

No way will we bring in someone as good, and it costs us cover at centre back for emergencies.

This will seriously weaken our midfield. And as we dont need to sell him, it would seriously f**king piss me off.

Lose song, theo and rvp this summer and it is another summer of ****. It is last summer, simply in reverse.

[Peter]

Selling him is another step backwards.

[Remi Garde]

Song was **** at CB, IMO.

[Ciaran]

I would play for free, so that fcuks Peter's theory out the window.

[Peter]

Seriously?

[Peter]

Selling song and not replacing him would be suicidal. Replacing him is going to cost money. Either way we losesomething.

[Nicosia Gooner]

[redgunamo]

Selling Song gives us 10+ million quid http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/shrug.gif

[Peter]

I do apologise http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/smile.gif

[Peter]

Frankly i would have rather kept song and not bought cazorla.

[Ciaran]

gatecrash the party.

[redgunamo]

buying low and selling high[er] allows us to keep the squad young and hungry and fresh with minimal actual outlay.

Or did you miss the memo entitled "Why We Hired Arsene Wenger In The First Place"?

Unlikely to be much profit there.

[redgunamo]

club is becoming more and more financially secure.

[Peter]

I suspect you are not right.

[redgunamo]

And their cost, of course.

I imagine we actually have built up a little leeway on this score over the past few years. We used to bemoan the fact that we only signed young "prospects".

Recognise progress when you see it.

[redgunamo]

simply asking for it, in the main.

You can rescue something from the wreckage if you merely mean to integrate them into an experienced, winning team though.

[Peter]

We are f**ked http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/homer.gif

[redgunamo]

Despite our financial prudence, we are going to win the league http://www.awimb.com/images/smiley_icons/indifferent.gif

[Peter]

If they have one.
