According to the BBC we have informed Barca we will not be exercising our buy back clause

terrible abuse from the usual lot.

an immoral and illegal tax upon the downtrodden population.

I won't have it in the house.

Let's face it, there are probably only 6-10 of them anyway.

Benzema - doesn't want to leave Real. If he does will go to PSG/Monaco.

Cavani - Too expensive on the wages

Suarez - No chance

[Billy Goat Sverige]

If someone suggested this time last year we'd sign Özil i'm sure we'd have all called them mental.

So let's agree to not make stupid statements, yes?

[Jake]

Under 55-60m total as well.

Oh well.

[Ashberto]

Our transfer business has seemed tentative and ineffective over the last few windows. I think we only bundled the Ozil deal over the line in a way reminiscent of Rooney's goal last night.

Chelsea have already supposedly managed to sign Costa and Fabregas in the first week of the window for some £65m or so. FFP? Yer 'avin a larf!

Note to the future: I'm feeling a little bit upset at the moment and will hopefully be proved wrong.

[PSRB]

out the bag then everyone will forget about the whole Cesc thing.



*or other players of this level

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Cavani then i'm all for ignoring Cesc.

[PSRB]

spurs were clearly trying to stiff us. I actually think we did a cracking job getting that transfer done

[Jake]

Bender would be good, let's get him.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

So hopefully they have a plan this year.

[Ashberto]

A bit of pace and cover/option for the Preening Vain Cùnt would have done me. We need twice as many midfielders as seems sensible anyway as they're always getting injured.

[Pat Vegas]

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[PSRB]

I fully expect at least 2 stellar signings

Our midfield is rather good really:
Ramsey
Ozil
Cazorla
Wilshere
Oxlade-Chamberlain
Walcott
Rosicky
Flamini
Arteta
Diaby :hehe:
Zelalem

[Billy Goat Sverige]

They paid £53m for him and if he was sold it would probably be at a slight loss.

[PSRB]

have a feeling he might be a bit more expensive after

[Ashberto]

You win leagues by stockpiling players and having the ability to manage that situation by rotating, which isn't Arsene's way.

I get the "we have loads of midfielders" argument, but half of them are usually injured.

:seethe:

I will get over this at some point. It's just the way the grief process works. Maybe I'll make a Downfall clip after all for some catharsis.

[Jake]

[Ashberto]

Redgumano isn't going to like this.

[Luis Anaconda]

of all the injuries - shocking. There was, um, er, and you know against thinhgymagobits

[Billy Goat Sverige]

[Pat Vegas]

When Ramsey played we won games. and a FA cup.

[Ashberto]

Surely part of you would have liked Cesc back? Not even a teeny weeny bit?

[TRENT COLTON]

[Peter]

And be realistic with targets, apparently :-)

But then we know not to believe anything the club says on this, dont we.

[Peter]

I am not going to lose any sleep over him joining a rival though.

[Billy Goat Sverige]

Or small it is. Probably alluding to the fact that as a club we're not in a position to buy players in positions where we're already fairly well equipped.

[Peter]

One or two people might be very angry come the end of august :hehe:
